I’m not sure how I should be hitting my hybrid

- By Top 25 Coach Keith Williams

Try not to see a hybrid shot as a mini wood swing; rather, see it as a 5-iron swing. I often witness golfers trying to sweep the ball away, but you should actually be hitting a little bit down on it. Position the ball two to three inches inside your forward heel. Ideally, the strike will be ball then turf – so you’re trapping or squeezing the ball. Yes, the wider sole will slide along the turf more than an iron, but try to ‘bruise’ the ground after you’ve made contact with the ball. Finally, remember to shift your weight forward as this will help the clubhead descend correctly into impact.
