Fix the Shanks and Heel Strikes: Improve Your Iron Play with These Simple Golf Tips | David Leathem

Welcome to DL Golf Tips! In today’s video, David Leathem dives deep into one of the most frustrating and destructive shots in golf—the shank. Whether you're struggling with shanks or consistently hitting heel strikes with your irons, this gol video is for you.

David Leathem, a professional golf instructor, breaks down the key factors that lead to shanks and heel strikes, explaining why they are so destructive to your golf game. Did you know that for every shank shot you hit on the golf course, you can expect to lose an average of two strokes? That’s right—just one shank can turn a par into a double bogey, or worse. Imagine how much those added strokes are affecting your score!

In this video, David will help you fix the shanks and heel strikes once and for all. We focus on improving your strike with irons by guiding you toward the "safety zone" on your golf clubface. By understanding the difference between hitting the sweet spot versus the heel, you can drastically improve your iron play. David will teach you how to stay away from the dangerous heel area, which can lead to a shank, and instead, hit more consistent shots from the sweet spot to the toe of the golf club.

To achieve this, David introduces a simple yet effective golf drill designed to fix the shanks and help you strike your irons pure. You'll also learn how to adjust your golf club in the downswing to improve your iron play and avoid those dreaded heel strikes. This video isn’t just about quick fixes—it’s about understanding what causes shanks and how to prevent them in the future.

If you're serious about improving your iron play and lowering your scores, this video is a must-watch. David Leathem’s expert golf tips and golf drills will set you on the right path to better ball striking, fewer shanks, and more enjoyable rounds of golf.
