3 Easy Ways to Stop Shanking #golf #golfswing #golfdrills

In this Malaska Golf tutorial, Mike Malaska explains that shanking occurs when the hands move further away from the ball at impact than they were at address. He demonstrates three easy fixes: dropping the right foot back, clearing the left hip more aggressively, and focusing on returning the hands to their original address position to ensure a centered strike.

• Shanks (hosel rockets) are caused by the hands and arms moving further away from the body at impact than at address.
• Dropping your right foot back at setup helps correct the swing arc.
• Actively clearing the left hip creates space for the hands to stay on the correct path.
• Returning the hands to the same 'in' position they held at address ensures center-face contact.
• The goal is to stabilize the swing arc to prevent the hosel from reaching the ball.
