Early wrist hinge or one piece take away??

[Tomputt]

Have been googling early wrist hinge or one piece take away. Any thoughts out there on what is proper and what leads to more consistencey? Some webs sites swear by early wrist hinge while others swear by the one piece takeaway.  (It's like asking ten stockbrokers what are your five favorite stocks to invest in....you will get ten completley different answers.)

I think it depends on the particulars of each individual's swing. Some need to feel early wrist set, some late. There are PGA Tour players on both ends of the spectrum.

Depends on the golfer.

I would say that in terms of importance, the downswing is much more important than the backswing. If you have a consistent compensation you can play some really good golf with a funky backswing, #JimFuryk ;)

Some movements in the backswing do help getting into better positions in the downswing. The question if you should change the backswing depends if it really is required or not.

In terms of what amateur golfers struggle with, would check out these,

I am one that doesn't like early wrist hinge for shots other than pitching I tend to natural set my wrist late though I'm trying to set them more gradual in my backswing but it's difficult move for me to do.

One piece is the key.You want keep as square to the ball as possible so keep everything together for as long as possible.No breaking of the wrists early.

I disagree. When you set the wrists is not a commonality of the game's best players, of which there seem to be about five ( commonalities , not "best players." :D).

I suppose it depends on each golfer.If i break my wrists early i seem to hit the ball all over the place .I'm much better keeping everything together for as long as possible..Its all links courses here by the sea ,so always windy,which means any slice or hook is always exaggerated .

I don't think about However when I pitching poorly then I consciously think about "setting" my wrist early and that seems to help my pitching motion back to rhythm
