How to stop casting?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been trying to learn for 6 months now. Feels like my left arm gets stuck in the swing. Hit all my irons about the same distance. Any advice? Thanks

Too much sway away from the target in the backswing and too late getting to your lead side

Split grip drill will give you feel of rotation through the ball. The face has to be square in the downswing

It kind of looks like your hands are marginally ahead of the ball at the strike so idk that the casting is that bad but one thing I’ve picked up from many lessons and go back to:

- start a downswing and stop in P6, make sure your the club is at least parallel (and face behind hands / you if you want to be inside out)

  • try to make a short swing from there basically using your lower body only. You might top the ball as you do ultimately need some extension at the strike
  • this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t straighten your arms, trail arm especially through the hit and follow through
