Basic Motion: Chip: Shanks
I can do basic motion. I have a good understanding, I can keep a flat left/bent right, but I am sick of shanking so many shots. The shank is going to drive me insane or away from the game if I can't get them under control.

I'm very new to the whole TGM scene although I've been a member here since the site started. Member #503 I think? I'm in no way blaming Basic motion for the shanking. I've been shanking it for about 18 months, long before I started to learn TGM. It's time to get it fixed or change sports.

I love the game, I love practicing, I love trying to improve, but these shanks make me want to quit. Funny thing is.....I don't do it until I start practicing. If I never hit balls or never work on my game, they kinda go away. A few days of basic motion or even chipping around a practice green and they ALWAYS show up.

Today I decided to just keep battling. I practiced basic motion chip for 2-3 hours. I bet I shanked at LEAST 50% of the balls I hit. Anyone have any ideas or any left handed clubs for sale? Maybe I should switch sides?
