Sneakylong On the other hand, Monte has a video called the "No Turn Cast Drill" in which he advocates for people to take a backswing without turning and to try to cast from the top as much as they possibly can.
He says that casting comes from other swing flaws and is nothing but a compensatory movement to make sure the club gets on the ball, and that if a decent player makes a decent backswing it is almost impossible for them to cast, even if they try. Instead, he says, they get better contact and hit the ball better.
Oh, and everybody turns on the backswing, even when they are thinking "no turn." The turn just becomes more natural.
I should probably link the video. For what it's worth, I've tried this both on the range and on the course, and I've hit some really good shots using these thoughts, "No turn, cast." It's surprising, but it seems to work pretty well.
