A Good Set-up

Once comfortable, let your arms hang down naturally and bring your hands together. They should be 6-8 inches in front of your thighs. Repeat this process with a club.
A common problem with amateurs is that they reach for the ball. Reaching seems to convey a feeling of power but it actually decreases your ability to generate clubhead speed (power). Remember, once in the proper set-up, the sole of your club should be resting flat on the ground. This is a sign that your clubs are fitted properly.
