1) Try to hit every shot on the toe of the club until you stop shanking. 2) Never aim to the left, you would do well to think you are aimed to the right. 3) Get the feeling that the toe of the club is rolling over. 4) Place a tee about one inch outside of the ball lined up at the target. Hit the ball without hitting the tee.
Many think that a closed blade causes a shank shot. The causes could be: 1) standing too close, or far from the ball. 2) the ball may be too far forward. 3) the left arm could be bent at impact.

Do you know exactly where your your clubface is striking the ball? Many players are happy just to make good contact but in order to be consistent, you need to strike the ball in the same spot on the clubface.
You can purchase impact tape that is placed on the clubface. When the ball is struck a mark will be left where the contact with the ball was made.
If you cannot find the tape you can purchase talcum powder. Powder the golf ball with the Talcum. When the ball is struck there will be a distinct mark left on the place of impact. Once you locate the impact point you can make the necessary adjustments. Solid shots come from hitting the clubface directly in the center.

photo credit: rioncm The slow motion drill can be done in your own home. It requires patience but it’s worth the effort.
The drill should be done in super slow motion. 1) Swing the club very slowly to the top of the backswing while keeping your eye on a target (blade of grass or pattern on a carpet) which represents the ball. As you reach the top, your left heel should be off the ground. 2) Replace your left heel on the ground, at the same time bring your right elbow in close to your body. Do this in super slow motion. 3) Bring the club 1/3 the way down and stop and just hold the club, feel it. 4) Now start from your holding position and go to the top. Do four repetitions per day.
