No Turn Cast Training Concept by Monte Scheinblum
Since the release of HackMotion, more than 1,000,000 golf swings have been analyzed, studied, and reviewed. In addition to helping these golfers get the results and data they need to succeed, discoveries about the game of golf and swing mechanics have been made.
Coach Monte Scheinblum has developed a training concept of No Turn Cast after his work with HackMotion. We will show you what this motion looks like and how to implement it into your game.
Key Takeaways
We highly recommend watching the complete video from Monte Scheinblum to benefit from his data and concepts fully. At one point, he was the World Long Drive Champion, so producing distance and power through impact is a specialty for Monte.
- The No Turn Cast begins with hinging the wrists during the backswing and positioning the center of the club’s mass behind the hands at the top of the backswing.
- One of the goals of the No Turn Cast is distance, but a shorter dispersion pattern is also part of the process and the goal.
- The key move involves consciously releasing the wrist hinge (moving towards ulnar deviation) at the start of the downswing, particularly between the 9 o’clock to 8 o’clock positions, without tilting the shoulders.
- Ulnar deviation in the wrist facilitates lead wrist flexion, allowing for earlier squaring of the clubface and much more speed through impact.

The No Turn Cast
Coach Monte Scheinblum developed the No Turn Cast training concept, which he developed using HackMotion data from tour players. Monte recommends this training technique to many of his players.
Start by exploring the basics of No Turn Cast, and then watch a video where Monte explains his reasoning behind it.
The sequence of No Turn Cast
To complete the No Turn Cast, you must follow a specific three part sequence. This sequence ensures that your body is in the right position and you can fire through the golf ball at full speed.
1. Hinge the wrists during backswing. At the top of the backswing, put the club’s center of the mass behind the hands.
2. Have the INTENT to release the club (“cast”) to 8 o’clock (shaft parallel before impact). As a conscious move when starting the downswing, release wrist hinge (move towards ulnar deviation), and the body will react automatically.
The move should be done while shifting from the 9 o’clock to 8 o’clock position (shaft parallel before impact) and without tilting your shoulders (see the illustration).
*Reasoning – Ulnar deviation (unhinging) is a coupled motion with flexion (bowing).
Therefore, by having ulnar deviation. in the wrist, it becomes easier for the lead wrist to move towards flexion.
A move towards lead wrist flexion allows you to square the clubface earlier so that you don’t have to do it at the last moment. You do not need to manipulate the club before impact, and you can rotate freely.
3. Rotate the body – Once the clubface is in a good position, you are able to gain speed by rotating the body.

An example of Bryson DeChambeau
Bryson is one of the better-known golfers when it comes to distance off the tee. He can generate quite a bit of speed. Learning a little more about what Bryson does can be helpful for your game.
Monte mentions pro player Bryson DeChambeau as an example. Learn more about Bryson DeChambeau’s golf swing (measured with HackMotion) HERE.
Final Thoughts
To measure your wrist angles and get them to match the specific patterns of professionals like Bryson, you will want to wear your HackMotion during practice sessions. Having this type of data allows swing changes to happen quickly.
