You have a crazy inside takeaway. I would fix this first and foremost… it’s causing you all sorts of issues from the get-go, including a massive OTT move. ▶ this video Seems a bit basic, but your pros do this all the time. Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler especially.

I’m going to be harshly honest: your swing is fucked one second into the video before you even get to the top of your backswing I would start with a takeaway drill. You have what’s called an outside takeaway. There’s many drills to fix it.

[preview.redd.it] Couple more pointers, sticking you beside Rory mcilroy here which isn’t necessarily fair but always good to compare to the pros!

u/Yoshidede 2024 · r/golftips · in “Shank every shot- please help”

I got you! First thing I would address is the beginning of your takeaway. You immediately roll your wrists and open the club, making it very hard to close on the way back. You always shank to the right I take it? ▶ this video This is a very brief example above. I bet this will help!
