Arms at address

[grs]

I've gotton really good at hitting my irons lately I use mid body hands, and let my arms hang straight down.

But when using my 3 wood and driver it seems as if I need to have my arms further away from my body, if I let them hang straight down with these clubs I hit a big push fade. So my question is as the clubs get longer should your arms be further away from your body at address?

Thanks

absolutely. you need a wider arc and a differing angle of attack. also, forces of gravity and inertia and centripetal force (of which i dont have extensive knowledge) will want to 'pull' the club to a different location. you see trick shot artists and long drive competitors who have the long clubs have really high hands because of this

Thanks for clearing that up for me
