Re: Distance of Hands from torso at address

Well funnily enough I played today and made a conscioius effort to stand taller to the ball, with less knee flex, my back straighter and my hands hanging down more below my eye line ( with one hand span between my hands and my torso). I also tried to ensure my swing plane was a little steeper.

Well, didnt I go and play great! Shot 81, my best round of the year !

In fact my only pre shot thought was about posture and alignment, then I just swung and let it go. Funny old game !

Im 6'1 so perhaps I have been slightly reaching for the ball. I always hear how too close to the ball is bad, but for me combined with a steeper plane, it seemed to lead to much cleaner ball striking?
