Geometry ? for tall golfers
For taller golfers, is the preferred address taught to bend slightly with the knees and more at hips (increasing the angle of spine in relation to perpendicular, say ~35-40 degrees, or more accurately moving the spine angle _towards_ horizontal) or more at the knees and less at the hips (moving the spine more perpendicular to the ground, say to an vertical angle of 15-20* )? With the former, the arms hang nearly straight down, but probably 9-12 inches from my thigh. The latter has arms much nearer the body but at a slight angle away from the knees.

I can get the clubhead to the ground either way, but am curious as to how you would approach it. The TGM aspects that I am adding to my game has helped immensely, cutting strokes quickly and making the game a bunch more fun. But until I can get these down, there is still much inconsistancy...

Oh, I am 6'8", current clubs are 3* up and 2" long. Was a 20+ HC but now down to a 15.

TIA,
jwh
