The irons and utility wedges are styled for optimum control and durability, thanks to the stainless steel alloy adjustable hosel design.
Any deviation such as pulling the target hand to the left (which will close the clubface or open the target shoulder) will pull the shot to the left or shank the shot to the right--particularly if the clubface is left open or the ball is struck with the hosel of the club.
A shank is actually a simple mis-hit, caused when the ball is struck by the hosel (at the bottom of the shaft) rather than the club face on an iron shot.
