The dreaded shanks | Golf Monthly

First off, hello from a forum noob.

I have been playing golf for nearly 2 years (will be in April)

Recently I seem to be shanking irons but 1 day it will be there, the next it's gone.

Went to the range a few times to diagnose the reason and I think I know why I have been doing it. I tried a few things tonight and have basically came to the conclusion that I am cocking my wrist too early. Tried it a few times and shanked it. Delayed the wrist hinge and hitting the ball sweetly again.

The problem I have is ive tried to look for shank reasons online, specifically early wrist hinge, but the advice seems to be that early wrist action can only be good.

I am now confused. Any opinions are appreciated.
