The next time you're on the range (hitting from those mats) and you see someone hit a shank ... watch. 9 out 10 times, you'll see 1 of (2) errors. They change their spine angle (usually becoming more upright) somewhere in the swing or ... they "hump the goat" ... push their pelvis closer to the ball on the downswing.
