We all hate hitting a shank. The root cause of it is a weight-shift issue. I’m not talking about the normal weight shift as you swing into the ball, but a weight shift towards the ball. The problems source lies in the feet… and the movement is so miniscule, it’s hard to believe it can be such a problem.

When it comes to striking your golf ball successfully, one of the best techniques is the proper foundation of a quality golf education. You'll want to implement a simple, but effective routine that you can perform exactly the same, over and over again. Every time you step up and address your shot, you'll want the elements to fall into place, almost unconsciously.

Following are 12 steps, that when performed precisely and in succession, should lead you to orderly golf shots every time:

In a study of 1,500 amateur golfers, not one with a handicap of 14.0 or higher could hit the fairway 50 percent of the time with a driver. Chances are if you miss the fairway, you’re losing a stroke to par on the hole. So why bother using your driver all day for that one great shot? The way I see it, if the club can’t help your game, get it out of your bag. Seriously, play a round with only your three wood, not only will you get a chance to play different clubs, I’ll bet you’ll keep the ball in play more effectively.

To be blunt, if you can't hit your driver over 200 yards, you are casting. What is casting? In short, it’s the early release of your wrists into impact. This early release will rob you power into the ball resulting in bunts off the tee, and on the fairway. It’s called casting because the motion is very similar to the motion you make when you cast a fishing line. Most players who cast, do so not on purpose, but because they have to. There are many swing faults that basically force you to cast to make it to impact, such as an over-the-top swing.

Many swing faults are caused by an incorrect club path into the ball. Whether you pull it (over-the-top), push / block it (in to out) or shank it (either or), your swing path is to blame. There are many drills on this site that can help you fix any of these faults, but today I want to go over some drills you can perform to cure these faults with something as simple as a range bucket.
