Why scooping and casting kill compression #golfswing #golftips

Piers and Andy from Me and My Golf explain why casting the wrists early and moving over-the-top kills ball compression. They demonstrate a pump drill to help golfers feel the club shallow properly while maintaining right wrist bend to prevent scooping and early extension.

• Adding right wrist bend at the top helps keep the lead wrist flat and the club in a supported position.
• The club should move down in front of the hip during transition to create a shallowing effect.
• A steep transition often forces the player to 'stand up' or early extend to avoid hitting the ground too hard.
• Casting and scooping are often symptoms of a poor trail arm position and an open club face at the top.
