Golf Tip – Casting
July 7, 2016 Posted by Matt
In golf, casting occurs when you release your hands too early in the downswing. As a result you feel like you are flipping at the ball at impact. If you have a cast in your backswing you are loosing a lot of power and ultimately distance. A good way to eliminate casting is to work on the pump drill. Swing up to the top of your swing and then holding your hands still, drop your arms to your waist. Be sure to keep your hands in the same hinged position they were at the top of the swing. Repeat this motion up and down like a pump three or four times and then come down and hit the ball. You should feel as if you are hitting down on the ball at impact instead of flipping at it.
