TIA,

One shank is a bad shot. No biggie, right? Yeah right!

Two shanks is an issue. Three is life threatening. Four...just bury me.

How do I know? Been there, done that.

First, in my opinion, technically shanks are cause by an offplane motion. However...I dont think that is your only issue.

I think your issue is my issue.

Mental.

When I learned (and have to relearn alot!) to 'let go' and 'not worry' about the shank itself...it became alot easier and the shanks went away.

So...

In my experience, it was two fold.

1. Correct my motion to be onplane.
2. Mentally, reduce my anxiety with my 1/2 wedges.

Clear key may help.

Think this fits you???
