There are some who will disagree with me, but I believe that 99% of all shanks are caused by one thing ... a change in spine angle, which can occur in one of 3 ways.
1. You "stand up" during your swing.
2. You "squat" during your swing (less likely).
3. You "hump the goat", which means you thrust your hips towards the ball on your downswing.
Other than correcting which of those (3) possibilities are causing your shanks, there's only one other cure. A Quarter, a Dime & a Penny, in your left front pocket. It helps if the dime is an original, real "silver" dime. Always cures the shanks.
