Shanks

Shanks are what golfers refer to as a bad shot that definitely does not go straight. Hitting the golf ball in a straight line requires rhythm and power to hit the ball squarely. If the club’s impact angle is off or if the player’s balance is not aimed directly at the ball, the bad angle of contact will create a wicked spin on the golf ball that can send it spinning in an undesired angle. Sometimes shanks are so bad, the ball will travel in the complete opposite direction as intended and it will be impossible to find the ball. Of course, a shank could cause your ball to end up in a pond, never to be seen again. A shank refers to any shot that the player loses control over.
