After about 35 balls, 20 of which were pure shanks with various clubs, I left.

Haven’t experienced that before.
The club didn’t feel right, like I didn’t know how to grip or swing the club.

Have tournaments on Saturday and Wednesday.

Is there hope?

This happened to me recently and I found lining up the ball on the extreme toe of the club helped temporarily until I could really focus and get it straightened out

The shanks fricking suck.

There is hope. I had the shanks recently and pulled thru. This drill cured me. I just used a tee instead of a head cover.

Backing up a little and aiming for the bottom of the ball, putting more weight on your heels. Put a tee just above the ball and try not to even graze it when hitting.

There’s nothing more frustrating than the shanks and agree it feels like your whole swing is shite all the sudden. Sigh.
