What is casting?

Keep the left arm straight, maybe even try 3/4 swings for a while.


Also at the take away feel as though your trying to get the club head as far away from you as possible if that makes sense.

Had the same problem myself and eventually found the answer in reducing the legth of my 'striaght' take away when starting the backswing. I now start striaght but raise the club sooner reducing what was an exaggerated take away. THis has resulted in a better connection between arms and body through the swing, a more in to out track and, most importantly, more power. Since making this adjustment my tendency to cast has practically gone and I am hitting all clubs further with 30 to 40 yards more with the driver.

It's when the angle between the left forearm and shaft increases too early in the downswing (right hander)

Oh!

I've spent the last 57 years actively avoiding thinking about things like that - it would only confuse me.
