The golf shanks are brutal. Using 4 tees can help you cure them

For golfers, the shanks are one of the most frustrating shots in the game. This errant shot, where the club strikes the hosel (the part of the club that connects the shaft to the clubhead) as opposed to the middle of the club face, can send the ball careening far off target and ruin a promising round.

Traditionally, the shanks have been treated with a variety of methods, including changing swing technique, using alignment sticks, and practicing hitting foam balls.

However, a new and innovative method is gaining traction among golf instructors: using four tees. This simple yet effective technique involves placing four tees on the ground in a row, perpendicular to the target line. The golfer then swings their club through the tees, focusing on hitting the ball in the center of the club face. This helps to train the golfer to make a more consistent swing and avoid the dreaded shanks.
