Try this: the Proper "Wrist Set" on your backswing

[MyGolfster]

This will work I promise you

To feel the proper set for you, hold the club as you would with your left hand (if you are a righty). Then, with your right hand, grab your left forearm just below your wrist with your thumb on top of your left forearm. Put yourself in a good setup position and make a backswing to the half way – three quarters position and allow your left wrist to “set” as you take it back.

At the half way position, the butt of the grip should be pointing down towards the ground and you will find the club in a perfect “set” position.
The reason for this is because in order for your left wrist to support the club on its own, the club must be in a position that is lightest and easiest to hold, and on plane!

This position of your arm, club, and wrist is a key point in your backswing. If you can pass through this position on your backswing and maintain the same angle of your left wrist and club during transition, your swing will become more consistent.

If you are a lefty, switch the words left and right.

If you wish for some images, let me know.

What is this for? Like a drill for backswing? Or just to feel how a backswing should be? Then what? It'd be nice if you explain why this drill can work for some golfers out there.

I would think a more simpler (easier) way to feel this would be to take your normal setup, without moving hinge your wrist upwards to where the club head moves toward your head. Turn your shoulders and you will notice the club is perfectly set. This will also help in determining your plane as well.

Its to feel how your bottom hand is supposed to support the club on the way back and down. Mainly, it helps to improve your take away.

I see. But in order to do this one needs to have a strong wrist. Anyway, thanks for the tips.

your right! I know some lefty's that are right handed, and they have a naturally good wrist set. It all adds up since their top hand is their stronger wrist!

i could see why people would do this. but personally i feel that its more beneficial to hinge the wrist after it is half way back. in the photo you're wrists are already hinged half way back. its like bending your finger. when closing the finger the joint closest to the tip closes after the lower joint. when openning the lower joint straightens first, followed by the joint closest to the tip. if you hinge to early, your gonna put more stress on the wrist and arms (which could slow your momentum and cause problems). thats the total opposite of what you want to do.
