Todd Kolb from USGolfTV did this video explaining the correct way to hit good shots with a hybrid.
Todd actually gives five useful tips for getting the most from your hybrid.
- Get your hybrid fit to your swing, the same way you would get your driver fit. That's the only way to get full use from it.
- Make sure your ball position is correct. Not where you would tee up for a driver, not all the way back in the center of your stance. You want the ball about one clubhead length back from that driver position.
- This is an iron replacement, not a fairway wood. Make sure you hit down on the ball slightly; it's okay to take a small divot as well.
- Find a go-to shot that you can hit with your hybrid. This club should be something you can turn to when you need to get the ball in play predictably.
- Finally, make sure you learn some of the useful things your hybrid can add to your game. I've blogged about chipping with a hybrid but they're also good to hit from fairway bunkers and play bump-and-run shots.
A hybrid isn't just another club to fill a slot in your bag. It's a specially designed piece of equipment intended to help you deal with problems in your game. Make it a useful weapon in your scoring arsenal!
