Great tip!! for 5 years I have been battling the shanks from time to time and tried different hand positions to try and fix it. Never realized my weight was on the balls of my feet and not my heels!! 1st time back out was unbelieveable how my problem was fixed! So much more room for my hands to clear. Best tip I have ever received. Thank you!

you can also just put a golfball or something outside the golf ball you are trying to hit so its about 1/2″ from the toe of your club at address and swing until you dont hit the outside golfball or shoebox anymore.

personally i think its bad advice, standing on your heels at setup actually causes you to stand closer to the ball. naturally you have to move your weight towards your toes to make flush contact during the swing to make any sort of divot so standing on your heals will only further promote a shank. BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION…

I had vid lesson n it was all to do with my set up. Drills put 2 feet together and it makes u turn your shoulders try it on range changed to interlock grip (small hands). make sure your shoulders point square at target I was amazed I was aiming left of target causing out to in and heel of club (shank) hitting ball, feels weird at first right shoulder below left as well makes u more strike back of ball more control it`s great straight long drives and positive mental play. I will post a video

I would say you shank because you come down too far from the inside with an open club face, don´t you think?
