USING A HYBRID CLUB
By Jack Moorehouse, Author, "How to Break 80 and Shoot Like the Pros"
Many players dread hitting long irons (2,3,4,5). Even with the
proper golf instruction, these players would rather hit a short iron
any day. Others prefer higher lofted woods.
Thanks to the hybrid (utility) club, a cross between an iron and a
wood, these players need no longer even carry a long iron, never
mind hit one. This club replaces the long irons in you bag.
A hybrid club is easier to hit than a fairway wood or a long iron, as
most golf tips stress. It has a loft from 16 degrees to 25. It has a
low-center-of gravity. And it has a slightly smaller head and lower
profile.
The Hybrid club is practically a "universal" club. Use it off the tee,
from all lies in the fairway and rough, in fairway bunkers, and near
the green, for pitch-and-run shots.
• Off the tee
Tee the ball very low. Position it near the center of your stance
but towards the target. Use a smooth tempo, with a full swing.
Complete the follow-through.
• From the fairway
Use a ball position closer to the center of your stance. Swing more
down and through the ball. Hit the ball first, then take a small divot.
Complete the follow-through.
• From the fairway bunker
Assuming a good lie, position the ball in the center of your stance.
Dig your feet into the sand. Use a shorter swing. Complete the
follow-through. Don't try to kill the ball.
• From the rough
Position the ball in the center of your stance. Use a 3/4 back swing,
with a full follow through and a smooth tempo. Accelerate the
downswing through the ball. Again, don't try to kill the ball.
• From in front of the green
Pitch and run shots as you normally would but swing the club like a
putter.
Hybrids can really help your game, whether it be in the longer
shots or around the greens. So, if budget allows, go and pick one up
and start to see a difference in your game.
