Casting, early release, and scooping all refer to a premature release of the wrist angles during the golfer’s downswing. The loss of angle causes a weakened impact position resulting in loss of force, power and consistency.
Good wrist flexibility is crucial for setting and maintaining the wrist set throughout the downswing. Proper forearm and wrist strength is also very important to control the club. Lower body joint dysfunctions also play a large role in this dysfunction causing the wrist, elbow and shoulder to make up for lost movement. At The Winchester Institute we address these dysfunctions head on by determining what movement pattern is deficit, then helping to restore it to normal. This decreases the golfer’s likelihood of injury and increases their consistency.
