I never hit great shots when I consciously lag the club with wrist hinge.  I find that a light grip and nice tempo creates more than enough lag for me with irons.

I found this to be true also. I use to pre set my wrist hinge on my takeaway, which lead to a handsy swing, now that I don't do that but work on tempo, and to make a good golf swing, I'm hitting my clubs much better. I do however try to keep a flat left wrist until my swing reaches my left thigh.

Do people normally think about keeping their wrist set and when to release it? Maybe I just do it sub consciously, but whenever I just keep my grip relaxed nature has always just taken its course

Not sure brice, Im just getting into golf really. But I know that when I make a conscious effort to lag the club I strike the ball more purely.

I recently started holding my wrist set as long as I can with my irons and it has produced a lot crisper shots. My question is should I be holding the wrist set and creating lag with my short irons and wedges?

Lag happens, I don't think you should ever "hold" the lag.

    • Day 134 (26 Apr 24) - played Minnesott today, worked with the mid-irons and approaches (especially the 7i).  Scoring was a little higher, but I was focused on making the needed adjustments to the swing to achieve desired distances.  
    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
