SHANK   Ball hits on the hosel and goes 90 degrees to target.   CHECK GRIP TOO CUSTOMIZED, TOO MUCH TENSION, SWING OFF PLANE, STANDING TOO CLOSE, POSTURE, LIE ANGLE OF GOLF CLUBS TOO FLAT   GRIP TOO CUSTOMIZED, TOO MUCH TENSION will require that the hands are steering rather than monitoring the club. Steering may influence the clubface to remain open through impact presenting the hosel to the ball. Rotate the hands a little to a fundamentally sound position until you find your neutral grip. Hold the club as though it were a wet towel, maintain a pressure throughout the swing that would keep hold of the club however not squeeze any water out of the towel.     POSTURE spine set to upright will cause the swing too become too rounded or flat; a shallow swing may present the hosel to the ball at impact.     TOO CLOSE TO THE BALL may present the hosel to the ball.   LIE ANGLE OF GOLF CLUBS TOO FLAT May cause the hosel of the golf club to be presented to the ball have your clubs checked on a lie board with your local P.G.A professional?
