Hands at address

[MikeLowry5]

Anyone have any good thoughts on how close or far away the hands should be from your thighs at address? My new instructor is recommending 1-3 fists. He says that anything further than that causes tension in the arms and "lifting" on the take away.

I´d say one fist in irons, maybe up to 2 fists with woods. Tops. 3 fists seems stretching the arms out a bit too far.

That's what I've been taught, but my teacher says it's the distance from your belt buckle and that's about too high for me (5'9" w/ 34" arms). I measure from the base of the zipper.
