    This late vs early wrist set is fascinating to me. I’m definitely on team late wrist set.

    But knowing there has been great players with early wrist set and not wanting to stifle anyone’s natural game, it’s alway a conundrum when first tee players are wrist setting early. Out of the group the kids that are usually banging the ball into the range dividers between stalls (thank goodness for those little walls) are the ones wrist setting a lot very early.

    I usually tell those players they are doing a little too much early wrist set so we work on a bit more of a 1 piece takeaway and it usually helps.

    Funny thing is—I think a lot of golfers including myself feel early wrist set gives more power but what we learned from josh in this video is that the long drive guys get more power from a late wrist set.

    Thanks again to Josh for his insights and Tom for posting this stuff.

      Great observations Baxter…we are fortunate to have Josh sharing his knowledge with us. Another early wrist setter who did pretty well — Lanny Wadkins
