Arms away from body...

[Mattie]

Morning All

Ive had quite a few shanks lately... doing my head in.
Anyway, I think I have been trying to keep my arms a bit too close to my body.

As the irons get longer do the arms move slightly outwards further and further, I would assume they do?

With the driver if I let go of the grip it falls nicely to the side but with the short irons my hands fall forward when I let got of the shaft with my left hand (left handed btw). Im hoping that is ok

My questions too dificult LOL

I'm no expert but I think you're thinking too much.

As far as I'm concerned The set up & swing for woods and irons is pretty similar, changinging only as much as necessary because of the different length of club.

IMO, at set up the arms should naturally fall pretty much perpendicular from the shoulders.

Yeah, I probably am overthinking it but I like the technicalities of the game
