Golf Shanks!

Question

Anybody else ever experienced these? I seem to get them every year at this time. Started them a couple weeks ago and have tried everything possible to fix them but in my head so bad, I cant even hit my irons.

100 yards and in and im screwed right now. I have an 8 handicap.

Any ideas?

Swing more to the left. Just focus on rotating your core and not sliding.Whats ur ball flight when ur hitting it good?

Try taking less club and swinging hard or more club and swinging easier. Try simple thoughts like.. 1-2-3 ... 1 back.. 2 at the top and 3 through the ball. Try a fade stance... Try a hook stance.

Try a weak grip... Try a strong grip.

Try interlock ... Try overlap

Just keep trying regular golf shit that isn't part of you normal comfort zone.

I've been fishing instead of golf lately because golf aggravates the shit out of me.

Thanks&#xD;&#xA;I have a very high ball flight on my irons.  Ive tried changing all sorts or things.  Have a lesson on friday, because our club championship is sunday.   I know its 90% mental right now, or that ive been playing to much and just need to back off.

Thats horse shit. I watched a college teammate get them. shot 98-90 in a tourney. He played #2 on our team so I got to watch him in front of me all day

You&#x27;re right, it is mental...........&amp; the more confidence you lose the worse it gets.&#xD;&#xA; I"m also an 8 &amp; don&#x27;t shank, but I go through periods where I start hitting my short shots fat &amp; I&#x27;ve found my problem is I start hitting AT the ball instead of THROUGH the ball..............you may be holding off as well.......... &#xD;&#xA; It happens............you can work it out on the range.
