At address, your hands should hang just forward of your zipper (just off the inside of your target side thigh). The hands-to-body distance varies depending on the club you are hitting. A good rule of thumb is hands "a palm’s width" (photo, left) from the body for short and middle irons (4 to 6 inches) and "a palm’s length" (photo, right) - from the bottom of the wrist to the tip of your middle finger - for long irons and woods.
