Hitting your hybrids
The key to reaping maximum benefit from your hybrids is to think iron much more than wood, despite their head shape
1Hybrids and hybrid irons have become very popular at the long end of the bag as their design makes them easier to hit than long irons. With a hybrid, the ball won’t be as far forward as with a fairway wood – more like a mid- to long-iron, so about oneand-a-half balls inside your left heel depending on loft. Despite their mini-wood looks, I would definitely recommend treating them much more like an iron than a wood when it comes to set-up and execution.
Centre of gravity is well back from the face
Narrow your stance a little in the rough 2 3
Because the shaft is a little longer than in an Playing it more like an iron means you shouldn’t iron, I would advise gripping down half-an-inch be afraid to hit the ground at impact and take a to an inch to make you more comfortable and little divot – the head design with its broad sole get it feeling more like an iron at set-up. This will helps to prevent the club from digging in. When also give you more control. The design of the club, with the ball is sitting down a little in the rough, grip down a its deeper head, allows the centre of gravity to sit much bit more and narrow your stance a fraction. Making the further from the face, and it is this that makes the hybrid club a little bit shorter will help you to hit down more, so much easier to launch than the equivalent long iron. which is what you need from this kind of lie.
