This is what happens to me if I mix a Startup Swivel with too much Extensor Action.....I end up Hitting in the downswing. No good with that open of a clubface. It's not the only way to shank....as it's been said before....but it's a common way. If I wanna open the face like that.....I try for a real SWING.....like little Ex. Action.....Double Shift.....basically a STT. If I use Single LWAction....i.e. no Swivel in backswing.....I use more Extensor Action....Trace more on-Plane...and Hit. Dunno works for me.....thought I'd share. ... Shanks are damn frustrating.....there's nothing else in golf that angers me more than the moment I see the ball rocket off to the right....literally.....makes me want to punch myself in the face.....makes me friggen ENRAGED!!! YARRRGH!GHGARHAG! Really does make me angry. Last edited by birdie_man : 06-08-2006 at 10:52 PM. birdie_man View Public Profile Send a private message to birdie_man Find all posts by birdie_man
