Bad shank? Is there ever a good shank? Having a swing coach is always the best advice for fixing issues but know that a shank occurs when the club returns closer than at address. This is most often due to hip extension pushing forward but not always. Get professional help to know for sure, especially if you saw the swings of us giving you advice.

This is one swing problem where another set of eyes would really help; hopefully your local pro. That said ,if it happens in the middle of a round, as it usually does, here's a possible quick fix that has helped me; Ideally, the club face at impact is in the same position as it was at the start of the back swing. In the case of a shank, for whatever reason, the club face shifts to a position where the heel of the club and the hosel impact the ball instead of the middle of the club face. Try setting the ball position slightly off the toe at address. This isn't a cure by any means, but more of a band aid approach to fixing the problem, and hopefully get you through the round . Hope this helps.
