I have been battling with these for a while now, they dissappear when I am not playing much, but as soon as I start playing more (I have just joined a club again), and shooting some good scores they rear up again!
I have tried all the usual.
I have just spend a hour at the range, shank after shank. Whatever I do, I just shank it, with the occasional great shot in the middle!
While at the range, I placed the range basket about a inch the other side of the ball, trying to avoid the basket, hitting great shots, util I try without the basket they come back?

Any help?


Edit

Ok, I have narrowed it down to a 'Open Shank', as the the ball doesn't fly straight right, but 50 Yards right, and 100 yards in distance for a 7 -iron.
This give me a better idea of what it could be, possible sliding of body towards target on downswing, or Too far open clubface at top of swing.
If nyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!

Pay for a lesson. It's that simple. Fixing a shank, for a pro standing there watching you, will take about 20 minutes at most to diagnose, and maybe a week to fix on your own after he tells you what you are doing and how to fix it.

If you are stubborn, put a tee two inches ahead of the ball, and an inch higher, just barely in the ground. Sort of 10 oclock on the ball when you are looing at it, but a couple inches away. As you swing through the ball (in to out swing path), you should clip the tee with the toe of your club.

But get a lesson instead. You'll be glad you did.

Sorry to hear about this. Shanks can be one of the most frustrating things to overcome in golf. In my experience playing and coaching, shanks are a result of a mental break down causing a mechanical break down... Ground breaking I know ..... Let me clear that up a little.

You could video yourself from a few angles to see if you can spot the error.
You could do what viking said and pay a pro to pick it out for you. Like he said it wont take long.
You could do something COMPLETELY different such as a DRAMATIC outside in swing until you at least start making solid contact. You can dial it back in from there.

There are 2 schools of thought on this. Continue hitting balls until your out of it, or take a week off and come back fresh. I have seen both work so whatever is better for you schedule. I can promise you one thing... The mechanical error in your swing is going to end up being something very very simple. It is always that way.

Along with what has been requested, has someone determine if your lie angles are off. If they are too upright, you will hit it closer to the heel than you desire.

Thanks for the replys guys!
That is a good point on the Lie Angles, I have never been fitted, so could be a possibly.
I play Nike blades, so the head isn't the biggest, doesn't give much room for error.
I think I will get that checked out!

I usually get from 2 reasons..1. I move my head up causing my swing to collapse or dont even make a swing at the ball and hit the hosel.

Ok.
I hit 36 balls at the range at lunchtime, concentrated on not leaving the face wide open at the top off the swing, which I thik I have been doing.
Only 2 shanks.
Touchwood I have found the answer!
