How to hit a Hybrid Club



putting

To learn how to hit a Hybrid club, you must first understand the differences between a long iron or a hybrid. It is important to know that hybrids should be the same weight as long irons. When replacing the long iron, the lie needs to be adjusted as well. You will be able hit hybrids with ease if you follow the steps below. This technique will also help you make fewer divots and have more success on the course.

Getting down on the ball

You must hit the ball hard, no matter what type of hybrid club you are using. This technique requires you to use a lower angle of attack, and a slightly more forward ball position. This will help get the ball up and make contact. Your sternum should be placed behind the ball in order to create a down-swing. Next, take a standard swing but keep the ball slightly in front of your center.

A hybrid club is similar as an iron in that it places the ball between two and four inches in front to your front foot. You should swing as you would with your 7-iron. But, keep the golf ball from moving up in the air. Your hybrid should be set up in the same way that you would a 5-iron to get more distance.

Positioning your hands in a neutral position

As important as properly gripping the hybrid club is keeping your hands in neutral. Hybrids shouldn't be hit as hard as irons. This is why you should avoid leaning forward when hitting hybrids. Instead, your hands should be in neutral position with your shoulders lower than the trail.


Depending on the strength of your grip, the left hand should be rotated inward to make the clubface close during impact. Soft grips, on the contrary, allow the clubface to open when impact occurs. A beginner might find it helpful to try different grips to see what works best. You will eventually discover which grip you prefer and which one is the most reliable.

Use a long-iron to hit a hybrid golf club

The hybrid club is similar in loft to the long-iron and is numbered exactly the same. A 3 or 4 iron hybrid will work the same way as a 3 iron one. However, the number of hybrids you have in your bag will depend on your preference. Some people believe that using a long-iron to hit a hybrid club can reduce their accuracy. Ultimately, you should keep both types of clubs in your golf bag.

The ball position is an essential factor in determining the trajectory and quality of your shot. A long-iron head hybrid club will produce a better trajectory, and help you to square up at impact. A descending swing will give you a more solid contact. Avoid using a sweeping stroke as it can cause a bobbing head or overswinging of the ball.

Making divots in a hybrid club

A hybrid club can be a powerful tool to create divots around the course. The clubhead is raised above the green and is driven at a steep angle. Professional golfers don't use this technique and it can lead to large divots. Also, the divots made with a wedge will likely be more deep than those made by any other club.

When hitting with a hybrid, the ball should be at least two to four inches inside the front heel. This allows for extra time to square your clubface on impact. At the driving range, you can try hitting the ground with a hybrid. Then, when hitting the ball on the course, you should hit the tee with the hybrid, first. If the surface is not too firm, the ball will fall on impact.
