I know this video is from 8 months ago. But I'm a low single digit who has been playing some good golf this past month. I can't remember my last shank. Maybe an occasional 1 a month on a driving range but can't even remember shanking a ball In a round in several years. Had a lesson last week and was playing some sound golf. Then had a minor wrist injury and some work travel. Came back a week later and hit a few shanks, turned into more shanks, and instead of leaving it alone I try to figure out why on the range. Keep hitting balls and shank 1/3rd of the balls. Then I go home and the next day I said let me see what Eric reccomends. This video was simple and super effective. I immediately did your drills with the box. And I hit just about 50-60 balls with my 8 iron and 7 iron and not 1 shank. I'm not exactly sure what crept into my swing but I think my hand path was moving towards the ball in the downswing. Man I feel good and confident again! God bless you Eric!
Glad to hear that my friend :)
I’m a 6.1 and this crept into my game yesterday while on the range warming up for a tournament. Almost withdrew because it was so bad and didn’t have a clue why. I fought through and no shanks on the course, however some heel shots. I found this last night and am excited to incorporate into my practice starting today. You explain it so easily and it makes sense without crazy drills.
👊Hope your practice goes great, Chris!
This is a fantastic video. Really helped me get my confidence back. Thank you Eric.
Fantastic to hear this!! Our pleasure!
This is a great video. I have had a recent run of shanks. I love the part of staying inside the wall. That is a very helpful thought
Glad this one was helpful!
Thank you very much. Very informative and helpful
Our pleasure, Erick! Happy this one helped!
Eric, you are simply the best instructor I’ve ever watched. I quit golf due to the shanks. I’ve watched a ton of vids on how to fix it. You’re the only person who explained it in a way that makes sense to me.
Thanks for the kind words my friend! So happy the videos have helped!
agree
Excellent Eric!!! ALWAYS Excellent!!!!
🙏🌞🏌️⛳🏌️🌞🙏
Thank you Christopher!!👊
Your tip about the weight in my feet not only stopped the shank but gave more distance with a draw. A miracle! Thx.
Fantastic to hear!
Great video Eric, thank you! 🙌
Thanks Matt! Our pleasure!
Eric - I started shanking because of a preoccupation with swinging towards 1:00. This was amazingly helpful. Gold as always.
Happy to hear this video helped, Rhod! Thank you for watching!
I’ll need to give this one a shot. Nice production.
Appreciate it! Hope it serves you well!
3/13/22 This video is so good for me right now. Thank you!! Also, how important is it to have that left foot flared out in setup?
I like both feet flared out 10-20*
Great video .bowing my left wrist also helped .thanks .
👊Thank you!
@@CogornoGolf you are very welcome
Thanks Eric!
You got it John! :)
Had a bad case of the shanks especially with the wedges. These tips straightened me out ( no pun intended). I was way too flat and placing the weight on by heels. Thanks so much for your help!
Glad this one helped, Tony!
Love this tip video. I struggle from time to time with the shanks.....mostly trying to stop an over the stop swing. Unfortunately is get into in to out but MY HANDS are not going right...im a Lefty
Thanks Pete! Hope this one serves you well!
I did this at the range today when i started to shank all of a sudden. I used a plastic golf ball bucket as the obstacle. I ended up putting my club straight through it and shattering it into hundreds of pieces at a full range of people. safe to say i won't be heading back there.
Ruh roh! Hope ya get back on track!
Eric, good drill. I used to use this years ago when I had a shanking issue. Now, I have a hitting off the toe issue. I actually do the opposite for that and put an object inside of the ball which works, but as soon as I take it away I go right back to hitting off the toe. Also that close up view of your iron was awesome. You can tell your hitting it off the center most of the time. My iron even when I hit it off the center the hit is coming much lower on the face. I am guessing that your getting compression while my hits are on the thin side. Anyways good video. If you can at some point address the toe hit issue. I know hitting off the toe can be caused by a bunch of things.
Appreciate it!
100% can do...
Would really have to see your swing to say for sure on what's going on earlier to cause the toe shot
I would look at to start
1. Setup balance points

2. Swing direction neutralized
3. Make sure vertical swing plane not too high

ua-cam.com/video/mjXPThA_9qA/v-deo.html
All your videos are amazing. Well explained and logical in terms of application.... You have helped me a lot 🙏🙏🙏 Cannot believe you don't have 3 X the subscribers....
Appreciate that Rob!
I didn't have a bucket but just put one alignment stick just off the toe of the club and concentrated on hitting along it. That worked great and didn't shank once. I put a little Dr Schol's spray powder on the club face which also showed that my strikes were on center. Thanks for the video help.
Love it
Thanks! Well explained. With my swing and my irons, the sweet spot is just inside of center, and so I have to pay attention to this issue. It will absolutely ruin your day!
Our pleasure Walt! Thanks for watching!
This is a great shank video. For 99% of you, your fix is here. Getting stuck and hand path/swing plane drills fixed my issue. My swing is the better for it. Don't get discouraged.
Thanks CD!
I had a period of shanking and I tried all these fixes. I watched all the shank videos I could and although they would help to some degree, the shanks would seep back into my swing.
I suffered from the inside out shank (good golfer shank). My shank made me breakdown all facets of my swing (club arc, path, stance, takeaway, grip, wrist angles, weight distribution, impact) which was a good thing. I went down the UA-cam rabbit hole for months. My swing and knowledge became better because of it.
I was watching another youtuber perform a drill that had nothing to do with shanking. My solution was in this particular drill.
I have a ghetto swing station at home where I can hit foam balls against a wall. I started performing this drill when I noticed no shanks. After 20 minutes of no shanking, I booked a half hour at my local simulator ( winter here so couldn't be outside) and played 18 holes shank free. I was thanking the golf Gods by the 6th hole.
To my fellow golfers who are suffering from this demoralizing curse, I feel your pain.
Glad you're striking the ball better my friend! Appreciate you being here with us!
I don’t know how to thank you but you literally saved my golf game with this video. I’ve subscribed and liked but I probably won’t need another golf video ever.
Love to hear that Brian! Appreciate you being here with us and glad it helped!!
@@CogornoGolf Should you follow this advice with driver and fairway woods as well?
Love that advise
Hope it helps, Danny!
Great video!! I've been playing for over 20 years and have never had a shank issue. This past week it started with my wedges and irons and it has continued in my last 2 rounds. Super frustrating. I will try this drill tomorrow!!!
Hope this helps ya! If not send swings to www.cogornogolf.com we can fix that for ya!
@@CogornoGolf This instruction was AMAZING!! I did what you said on the range before my round/tournament today and hit every shot pure!! And my round was night and day from my last 2 rounds. Not a single shank today!! Thanks so much!!!
I have been as low as a 3. Not playing as much due to schedule. I am playing closer to a 20 handicap now due to a severe case of the shanks. It’s so disheartening! Eric I love your video and am planning on taking my iPad to the range tomorrow. I am seriously praying I get over this. Nothing like it.
Hope this one helps! Let us know how practice goes!
The shanks hit me hard over the past few weeks and even caused me to actually quit after 4 holes in a recent round it was so bad. This drill, especially the bucket drill has seemed to help tremendously, I actually modified it a bit and used the rubber tee on my mat
Glad to hear this helped....I would keep on it for maintenance next 30-60 days just to make sure!
@@CogornoGolf absolutely… i have my net up under carport, mat setup with the rubber tee and as safe measure so i dont launch one into neighbors window the “ almost golfball” just for swing mechanics. 20-30 swings a day for sure
Thanks Eric. Been struggling with a shank lately. Got a question for you, been seeing a lot of different opinions on types of golf club releases and can’t find a good solid answer. I have no problem getting the ball to start out to the right, just to clarify it’s not a drastic out to the right, but issues getting the ball to come back. I already have a strong grip and can compress the ball. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi Eric. In the video you mention to ensure your weight is not too far back which I assume is heels?
Ive started shanking the ball recently and one think I felt was my weight being too much on the toes after impact.
I started trying to put more weight further back in my foot which assisted me to get the the pressure in heel of right foot in backswing and heel in left after impact. This also eliminated my shank.
Can you please confirm your views on where in the foot weight should be at address?
That is 100% correct.
Weight should be balls of feet at setup then back to right heel in backswing then back to left heel in follow through.
Going too much toward toes in downswing is a big shank causer
Holy crap. Yet again, Eric knows what happened to me today and made me a video. LoL.
I had not been to the range or the course for like two weeks. Well I played today and could not....I COULD NOT hit a shot that was under 200-yds. Every single hole I shanked at least one shot. By hole 4 I was just laughing at how consistent that was happening. Eerily I was trying to do what Eric is saying NOT to do. Gaaaaah!
Lol :) Hope this helps ya Chris
I never shank my iron shots, but start shanking my chip shorts recently, is there any quick fix to that. Really like your channel Eric!
Hmm.....could be several things really to be honest I would need to see on video to offer specifics. Could be distance from ball, weight in feet, swing plane, hand path, etc
www.cogornogolf.com/freetrial if you dont get it sorted can send vids and I can help there
I went from fighting a wicked hook to now hitting a terrible shank, the inside to inside path you describe make me fear a hook again. It's the opposite of everything I was taught when I got some help with the hook, the instructor emphasized throwing the club head out to "right field" from the inside. I'm going to have to try these drills to find out if they work for me.
Hope this one helps my friend! If you don't get it sorted, send us your swings at www.cogornogolf.com...easy issues to fix!
Hey Eric, appreciate the video! I have a tendency to slide forward (toward the target) in my downswing. I’ve found if I really focus on left hip pushing back (behind me), I shank less. Any further tips for players who slide forward toward target instead of rotate properly?
For sure----here are some
ua-cam.com/video/PXG_Tl7cJ6E/v-deo.html&pp=ygUTRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNsaWRlIA%3D%3D
ua-cam.com/video/3Mu2XrHKtAI/v-deo.html&pp=ygUTRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNsaWRlIA%3D%3D
Here another good one
Put object in front and learn to hit with BELT BUCKLE....NOT with left hip (too much slide)
ua-cam.com/video/wop-kP1JbcI/v-deo.html&pp=ygUTRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNsaWRlIA%3D%3D
I know this is an old video but hoping someone has an answer lol. The last tip about moving the hands left and up, how does that not turn into an over the top swing with the club head moving out to in right at the moment of impact?
This should help explain:
ua-cam.com/video/yNIubz71EvI/v-deo.html&pp=ygUTRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGNpcmNsZQ%3D%3D
The hands work to the right until about the time they hit the trail thigh
Then they arc back up and in.....the hands.....but the CLUB....still works DOWN AND OUT simultaneously (watch a good playing in slow mo from down the line you will see)
If doesnt make it over the top because it still came from inside for the first 3/4 of swing
Man perfect timing....
I have had to set up, then aim off the hotel and walk backwards a few inches.....sounds like a cheat code for Sonic the Hedgehog hahahahaha
:) Hope it helps!!
Most of my shrinking happens when I’m chipping or short pictures. How would I adapt the circle thought to a shorter swing thanks.
You should do an on the course video sometime, maybe teach about course management and strategy, maybe bunkers or hazards? I think it'd be really interesting to see a different take on your coaching videos.
Appreciate the feedback! Maybe more of that in the future----have had a hard time getting enough traction when we have done that in the past
Hope this works. Been fighting this for three weeks. Just canceled a round in Nashville in two weeks because of it.🤬
I hope it works for you as well!! If not send videos into www.cogornogolf.com Im betting we can identify why its happening and show you how to fix fast
Most of my shrinking happens when I’m chipping or short pictures. How would I adapt the circle thought to a shorter swing thanks.shanking, not shrinking. …pitches, not pictures!😂
My shanks have arisen since I’ve cured my over the top. I am shallowing but sending the hosel into the ball every time. I cured my OTT by sending the clubhead out to right of target but could this mean I’m following through in that direction too much?
Hey Sam!
Hard to say 100% without seeing your swing on video. Send your swings in to www.cogornogolf.com so we can have a look and build you a custom practice plan👊
Hope to see you there! Thanks for watching!!
I understand shaking happens mostly with a PW or 9 iron..But what if you shank using a 7 iron or even a hybrid ? I sometimes hit it dead right using them clubs.
Would need to see your swing on videos David to say for sure whats happening there
www.cogornogolf.com/freetrial
Thank you..It's something that I just started doing out of the blue.
I’ve had some shanking issues lately. I can fix it when i put the bucket/club cover there but when I take it away, I go right back to shanking. Any suggestions for that?
Need to see your swing Kyle to say for sure without guessing....come see me in person or online www.cogornogolf.com and I will help fix
Does the shanking depend on early extension too?
My educated guess is that shanking and early extension can both be a RESULT of an over the top move in transition (moving from backswing into downswing).
If you early extend (hips moving in toward ball too much) that can DEFINITELY cause heel hits (makes the club go outside the ball/target line like I showed unless you find a way to shallow it late.
Left hip back as you get to heel and hand path up and left
Dam this is huge struggling this year with shank . Lost my swing . So upsetting.
Hope this helps!
I could tell you the funniest story about a guy who came to get a lesson from me on how to hit a flighted sand wedge I had kind of patented back in the balata days ...................ROFL, it was hilarious
:) I'm sure we both have some good ones!!
HUGE TIP PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU NEVER WANT TO SHANK THE BALL AGAIN!!! WHEN YOU SET UP TO THE BALL KEEP YOUR BACK PRETTY STRAIGHT UP AND BEND YOUR KNEES BUT MAKE SURE THEY AINT LEANING TOWARDS YOUR TOES LIKE SHOULD FEEL LIKE THEY ARE LEANING BACK A BIT THEN STICK YOUR BUTT OUT AND IT KINDA SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOU NOW YOU HAVE A STURDY STANCE AND YOUR WEIGHT SHOULD FEEL PRETTY BALANCED AFTER DOING THIS AND LIKE YOU CAN FEEL THAT NOW YOUR WEIGHT ISN’T ON YOUR TOES AND TRUST ME DOING THIS YOU WILL NOT EVER SHANK IT AGAIN!!!
I always shank if I don’t release and rotate my hips. I shank on the range from lazy hits
Hope some of these cues assist with that!
I am a scratch golfer and constantly hit my irons out of the heel and can’t fix it , also shanking at least twice a round , very frustrating
Hope this helps ya
This drill works amazingly! But as soon as I take away the block … shanks and heel shots come right back.. I hate golf
Keep on it---I have faith in ya :)
At first glance, I thought the title was "How To Stop Shanking Every 5 Minutes" 😁
:)
Do a video on hitting off the toe, that's me
Will add that to the list!
I never found the “avoid the whatever” drills very effective because I already know what I’m supposed to do but doing it impossible once the s’s start.
Understood Jeff! Work really well for some, not as good for others!
Man I would smack the shit out of that block. I just started golfing about four months ago
Lol luckily its cheap :)
I wasn't shaking it
But if I start I am blaming this video
LOL
Hope it helps!👊
@@CogornoGolf You don't shake it you're gonna dribble.

Almost 14 minutes... 😀
Oops :)
why do I end up back here every year? sigh
Using video feedback more often in practice is the best place to start if you aren't doing that already👍
@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric. video review reveals that I am leaning on my toes!
I'm concerned that using the S word in a Corgono title may invoke a mass uprising of the S demons from the underworld. 😬
Let's hope not!🙂
@@CogornoGolf 😉
how come your "stop shanking in 5 minutes" video is 13:40 minutes? lol
The EXPLANATION was 13:40....but.....the DRILL works in 5 min :)
The very best way to stop shanks are stopping playing the game. After 40 years, I quite the game. 8 hc to a dismal 20nin 10 years. Finally quite the game. Best decision ever.
:)
