Thats definitely the way I feel it. As I turn back with say a PW I feel the wrists setting almost immediately. With a mid iron they start to set about knee height and with the longer
clubs about waist height. But as Shootin says, I dont think about it. Its just the width of the arc determines about where they set. I know if my swing path is steep because I cant feel the wrists hinge by just past halfway and I feel disconnected and 'armsy'. Its sort of becoming a good checkpoint for me now. The swingsetter has helped me a lot here
Having said that, ive been experimenting with the feeling of really early wrist set on some approaches with say a 7i or 8i to try and get more height and bite due to the steeper approach. I think Tiger talked about this in his book. Feels unnatural right now but I can see this would be helpful
