I realized I was casting when I developed ulnar sided wrist pain (the Wrist Widget is great) especially when I used my driver. I then was forced to learn how to chip and pitch properly and learned that a full iron swing is sort of an extension of the chip/pitch witch goes along with your advice. You have helped immensely. Thanks!
Fantastic video thanks for this my golf and conference on the course is sky high.
My focus lately has been learning how to not cast the club and start shallowing the club. I've been watching several channels and this channel has got to be the best yet. Thank you for great camera angle and explanation. This is gonna be a great drill to work on.
Explained this so well. So helpful, thanks.
Thanks Russell for this detailed technical explanation. Being a novice looking at better use of the wrist this has saved me developing a serious bad habit. As with all technical sports the finer details are the ones that matter. Another great video from the master technician.
Thank you for this lesson. Can’t wait to fix this flaw
Great video I’m going to work on this drill today.
Very good and simple! Thanks
OMG (Oh my golf) !!!
I have tried every drill known to totally eliminate my casting. The thought “don’t unfold my right/trail arm in the downswing” produced instantaneous results. Zero casting. Holy cow! Wow! Most effective video I have ever experienced. Many thanks.
Thats a nice swing right there!!
Great video thanks
you are a great instructor. Finally someone who I could understand. You sure have helped me and I really do thank you.
🙏🏻
Nice detailed explanation
I have always " casted " without knowing it was incorrect in the downswing, as I've always tried to pick the ball cleanly......this results in very inconsistent iron shots......this video also shows how much of a " squatting " move there is before impact.....thank you
I've played for 30 years and I've never had a lesson or thought about holding the angle with my trail arm... I feel so dumb right now. Thank you.
Glad it’s helped
Same. Never occurred to me but this will be the focus of my practice moving forward. Thanks guys
Practice this today, what’s difference in compression of ball and distance, and control. Wasn’t easy, keep practicing that move
Awesome. Can you both handle pressure on a tournament and still swing like that off the 1st?
How about a video about getting to a balanced finish? I can’t get to the position with my right foot up on the toes like it should. Thanks!
Early release/casting also seems to preclude coming over the top a lot of times as well
You mean the opposite right? Fixing early release gives a more in to out path?
I believe this is the best instruction I have heard. Thanks so much for sharing
This is my biggest struggle. Thinking about the right arm as you suggest is helping. I know what I’ll be doing on all my conference calls today.
Love it
Just had a lesson today on this subject, I've been playing for say 25yrs and have always had this issue in my swing. Hopefully I will get this sorted out ASAP!
Looking for some drill to emphasize the “ FEEL” of staying on the trail leg and pushing on it(?), while initiating the downswing: very difficult part of the swing, I guess that trail leg has to bend ( r know) a little bit, louons any throwing motion....
Excellent explanation , thank you Russel. One quick question: After the initial lower body move takes the left arm back to parallel on downswing, do we feel that we release hands from there or do we continue the chest rotation to take the hands in front of the ball and lag self releases ? Thanks so much.
Hopefully upcoming videos will help with sequencing all this together
Excellent transition (pump) drill using shoulders and elbow. That is the main point of the video.Stopping casting is just a consequence of the drill.Casting is not really the main point. Its a drill for a proper transition to avoid casting and to create a proper form and sequence for the downswing from the top.,
Please describe your trip pressure.
Hello nice video! What should your hands do? must they stand firm to support the final positions?
I’ve got a video upcoming on grip pressure very soon
So moving the right elbow down in front of the right hip as the first move in the downswing will prevent the cast and early release??? Thanks!
Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful. I've fallen into the bad habit of a early release and my result is often an open clubface at impact. My path down is not an issue. Any tips on how to correct this issue?
Will do some videos upcoming on squaring the face (not flipping)
Russell, would a short backswing facilitate holding onto that angle longer? PS you are the best golf instructor on UA-cam!
No it won’t affect this enough
I wil take this to the DR, thanks
I SEE YOU SCROLLING THROUGH THE COMMENTS TO SEE IF THIS WORKED :) another great vid @russel
It looked as though George began a bowing of the left wrist during the downswing of that pump drill. It would seem that move shallows out the club and helps square the face at the same time. Thoughts?
Boeing will just influence face really
When you talk about the [L] elbow bending, are you saying that during the release the distance between the two elbows shouldn't change?
Good question I’ll discuss this more
Do you have any drills for keeping a good temp ? Cheers
I like the gforce training aid for tempo
How to stop the casting at the top of the swing please 😊😊
Two shoulder surgeries can’t get my right elbow in that position...but I broke 80 once this year with my over the top fade game
Love it
What’s after left arm parallel? Do you hold the same angle all the way until impact?
Club will automatically go centre seeking in the release
What do you do if you're not flexible enough to get the club past 45 degrees at the top of the swing? Ive struggled with casting because I'm essentially set up to cast due
to lack of flexible wrists and shoulder joints. Additionally it's hard for me to get my lead arm past 9 o'clock on the backswing as well. Is there any approach to the golf
swing that works for this situation? Do you just have to speed up the tempo to keep the hands in front of the club head? I know I'll never hit it that far with my restrictions but
I should be able to consistently avoid casting and hit more balls on the sweet spot.
I’m going to be doing some winter, beginner, Senior, series
I can do it in a practice swing but as soon as I hit ball I cast again. How long does it normally take to groove the change?
Trying to discuss this on recent videos on the channel, difficult to say exactly
Russell...I have a hard time getting that right elbow back to my right side on the downswing. Any ‘swing keys’ I can use to help me hold that angle?
I would say too much tension at the top. Release the tension and get the feel of your arms “falling in” with the start of your downswing. It’s tricky because you think you will loose power and subconsciously you want to control that with your hands and arms. But. You don’t need to.
If positions are correct. Ball, spine angle etc are correct it works. Like snapping a towel or a whip. This helps your hands get a small head start down. Try and practice swing and get that feel. Best to try it without a ball or on the range. This way you don’t have the thought of having to hit a target distance. Have to learn to trust it.
I’ll be putting some drills on the channel soon
Ryan Fagan Thanks Ryan for your helpful response. I’ll give it a try! :)
As you get to the top of your backswing let go of the club.. I guarantee you won't cast or come over the top or hit the ball fat...
The next challenge is how to hit the ball after you let go of the club at the top of the backswing.. it can be done grasshopper..
could the club wight have some efect on the hold . i sufer with this . and im thing is that my shaft wight is to much for me to hold on to it when i wsing thoue the shot ?? my shaft are true temper dynamic gold xp s300.117g im 49 and play off 8 avige 7iron dis is 145 with a mid flite . you in put would be much apershated
Possibly I’ll have a look at this subject
How do you make sure you can square the clubface at impact when you do this? I find whenever I force myself to hold back on releasing early, I end up slicing it to the right or I'll top it....It's almost like I am so determined to not release early that I hold the club back through the whole swing and never release it...
I’ll be doing some video on release really soon
I have been playing for 17 years and never had a problem casting. Until 2 days before my trip to Pebble Beach the end of April. Now I am a mess. Trying all the drills I can, and still cannot fix it. Beyond frustrated
🤦🏻
Hi Russell, I loved this drill it's helped me feel the sensation of lag for the first time. I can achieve this by really relaxing the right wrist when I drop that elbow on the downswing as opposed to tensing it aggressively and casting. My only issue is that when I relax the face comes down open. I know I need to bow the left wrist to square the face but as soon as I do that my wrists tense and i start casting again. Could you please suggest a drill or video to get past this?
We’ll just hold the angle of the right wrist and you’ll be fine. You don’t need to bow the left wrist at all to square the face. Also remember club face looks different at different angles in the golf swing.
If keeping the right arm bent coming down is linked to lag, how come Sergio Garcia widens the angle in his right arm and clearly doesn’t struggle with lag. You can widen the right arm without releasing wrist angles. Throwing wrist angles is the issue not right elbow and arm angles.
So what is the actual cause of casting is it a mental or physical issue.
It would most likely be a compensation for a fault. Your adding width to cover up something
Danger of back injury with that separation?
No it’s a natural motion
I'm 60 and I've been playing for a few years. I'm not very flexible so how can I stop casting the club with a three quarter swing?
No problem, the length won’t affect the cast so much. I’ll be doing a video on hands in the downing very soon
Casting is not the same as straightening the right arm early in the downswing. Most tour pros seem to straighten the right arm pretty early.
I think this is the difference between feel and reality
Help needed to cure my chicken wing follow true
Does he mean elbow bent ?
Just had a lesson saying an early release is better than late..
I’m not sure. Maybe it will work well for you 👍🏻
I've tried this before but always found the clubface is left massively open. I don't get it
Why does Jack Nicklaus say you can never release the club too early?
I suppose for Jack he could never release the club too early, unfortunately not the case for every golfer.
@@russellheritagegolf good enough for me ......thanks
Can anyone explain why Georges hip turn looks non existent or super babyish on the backswing and why some people can look this way (even pros). We spend all this time on a hip turn and this is the example you put forth..... I feel cheated.
Not sure what you mean, the amount of hip turn necessary is to get the shoulders to 90 degrees
I cannot fix my casting to save my life
It may be a sequencing issue with the body
He looks like the club is trapped behind him..
I will never cast my golf club ever again because I will stop taking them fishing. Problem solved forever.
You so are so wrong your body is moving first you have too start the release on top too catch up when you showed you're so called demonstration his legs didn't even move at all and you should know that is the first movement on the downswing
This video is so wrong it's destructive to golfers. People cast the club because they are adding to much loft in their take away. It's functional to hit the ball. No reference to loft and people actually go for this. Nothing to do with impact. Old school positional nonsense. If you hold the angles you are referring to the ball would go way right. No reference to face to path. The pump drill? Again a terrible drill. No fact on dynamic loft delivery and nothing to back the technique up with data.
Actually I disagree with you Darren. The point that people want to "hit the ball" is exatly the reason why people have early release -> They stop rotation and the hands hit the ball straight withouth the hands beeing in front of the ball and the loft angle correct for the ball, as Russel clearly shows on the video (early release posture). Pump drill is the greatest drill to make people understand the need for the hands to be in front of the ball and for the path...it will come naturally when you hold the release...I've seen pro's just watching people hack the ball hours and hours with their hands withouth any reference to body swing...so this pumping exersize is the so good...it also promotes the body swing instead of hitting the ball with your hands.
@@maxsjostrom67 couldn't disagree more but what ever works for you mate
@@maxsjostrom67 if you add loft in your takeaway you can pump as much as you like it won't help. If your hands are in front of the ball with loft on your club face you wont hit the ball straight. Isolating a single position in the swing gets people nowhere
@@darrenbrown2384 well this exersize was not about wrist angle coming to the ball or in the takeaway. There is a different exersize for that. But obviously you are right IF the person has wrong grip and wrist angle...it won't cure the bad loft angle or the outside in issue..my comments are based on how to cure the early release..as that was the idea of the video....
@@maxsjostrom67 I'm talking about why people realeae early. Nothing to do with grip. I've got a video somewhere explaining the data behind it. I will post it for you fella 👍
