wrist set and lag

[CallawayJ]

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?

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.

Hmm I feel like if you try to be conscious of it your forearms might tense up making it hard to release it, but hey if it works it works!

I think before I was casting and the club head was bottoming out too early

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