Anyone against early wrist set?

[PatrickBateman]

I have been setting my wrists early with my irons and have experianced a bit of success lately...actually a lot of success. My face stays pretty closed as well and I have had a nice draw on many of my shots, pretty rare to slice a long iron now as well. Any thoughts on this? Anyone say nay? Just curious really...The whole video is at the bottem

BEGINNING OF WRIST SET

WRISTS SET

Depends on if it's a priority. Is the takeaway causing a "domino" effect with the rest of the swing? Typically if you're going to err I recommend allowing the club to set a little earlier than setting it too late, just easier to sequence the arms with the pivot.

With your swing @PatrickBateman you're just setting the wrists early with the right arm staying too straight, right arm has to fold a bit.

For whatever reason the early wrist action seems to give me a closed face at impact producing a decent draw as of late. The 2nd part I'm very interested in, do you have any videos/reading/etc on that. I want to fold my right arm as efficiently as possible.

@PatrickBateman it seems like you post a lot but just about your swing. This is the kind of thread that is probably better in your My Swing thread. I think if you look around you will find more posts that are helpful to your swing and more topics that you can post in that cover other things too.

Sorry about that, still a little new here. Yeah I'll be posting these on my current my swing from now on.

Was taught that early wrist break is good for the short irons, especially the wedges...reduce severe wrist break as the distance clubs come into play.

Is there a technical reason to not do it with the distance clubs? I do it all the way down to my 3 iron, but I don't with 3w/Driver

I'm not really seeing much of an early wrist set in your video. Your right right wrist seems to be going mostly into extension, not much true radial deviation. The flatness of your swing may be hiding it a little bit though, a face on view is much better for demonstrating that sort of thing.
