Carol – From your message it sounds like you are trying to square your club face to stop the shank. The face being open at impact is not the casue of the shank as it is possible to hit the ball with the hozel regardless of whether the face is open or closed.
There are a couple of ways to hit a shank:
1. You are standing too close to the ball at address.
2. You are moving closer to the ball with your upper body during the swing.
3. You are swinging out towards the ball too much in the downswing, causing your arms to become dicsonnected from your body.
4. You path to the ball is too much from the inside.
Check these few things, but your best option may be a lesson. If you would like to do that please call me at 860 312 2149.

Your tips on chipping are great, but I am having trouble pitching the ball. From about 50 yards in, I’m starting to shank the ball. I try to square the face of my club, but somehow it still happens. WHAT’s MY PROBLEM???? HELP
