Hand Position At Address

[eric54]

Hi all. Just joined and this is my first post.

As a general rule, how far from your body should your hands be at address? Reason i ask is i am not sure if i have been standing too close to the ball. Played yesterday and stood further away and struck the ball really well and it doesnt feel right but if my hands arent too far away then going to stick with it

Good to have you aboard. Brian Manzella has an instructional article on the set up that should provide the guidance you seek.
