Getting Wrists Set

[EHSGolf1]

One of my buddies who is a very good golfer noticed that I don't get my wrists cocked until basically the start of my downswing. He thinks I should be getting my wrists set before the transition and he believes that I am loosing out on distance by not doing this. He believes I could get more power and more lag from getting my wrist set sooner. Is he right and if so, what drills can I do to try and achieve this? Thanks for any help.

Not necessarily. JB Holmes is one of the longest hitters on tour, and he has a very short backswing with almost no wrist hinge until after the transition.

Check out this video. He explains what i was talking about near the 40 second mark. http://www.golfdigest.com/instructio...psplusjbholmes
