Scheffler’s Shank Exposes Impact of Clubface Position

In a recent YouTube video, professional golfer Scottie Scheffler discussed his struggles with shanks. A shank occurs when the golfer hits the ball with the hosel of the club instead of the clubface. Scheffler explained that his shank was caused by striking the ball too far towards the hosel, which caused the ball to curve to the right instead of going straight.

This incident highlights the importance of proper clubface position when hitting the ball. Hitting the ball with the correct part of the clubface ensures proper trajectory and accuracy. Golfers should be aware of the clubface’s “sweet spot” and strive to strike the ball on or near that spot for optimal results.
