When I go to the range, I normally start off chipping and pitching with my short irons. That normally goes pretty well, and getting better everyday. The problem occurs after I hit my woods or driver. Often when I go back to the wedge for chipping, after hitting the longer clubs, I shank the ball terribly. I can see that I am hitting it on the hosel;see it happening in my practice swing, anyway. I can still do a full swing with the wedge at this point, but last night I must have shanked 30 balls trying to pinpoint the cause. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this.
Any suggestions?
I'm betting that your right shoulder isn't down low enough on the wedges after the drivers, which causes the right shoulder to move outward in trying to reach the ball, which in turn moves the sweetspot outside the ball. I.e., you are running out of right arm. The fix is to set up with plenty of right arm bend at address.
