Exactly. Shanks are always a result of improper path.
Distance from the ball, hands too close to the ball, poor vision and all the other nonsense, can contribute to improper path, but at the end of the day, path causes shanks, not the hitting surface.
The hottest trend in golf right now, is "virtual golf". Billions being invested, by people like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Guess what every shot on the next Next Tour is hit off of? yep, "mats".
