How To Hit A Hybrid Golf Club

When playing out of the bunker, you want a sweeping motion. There should be very little contact with the sand. Because you dig your feet into the sand, it is necessary to choke up on the club an inch or two. Move the ball back in your stance, shorten your backswing and sweep the ball out of the bunker.

Hybrid golf clubs pass through the rough better than irons. If you don't believe it, go take some practice swings with an iron, and then with a hybrid and see for yourself. Even though hybrid clubs cut through the rough better, it doesn't mean the long grass won't slow down the club. With this type of shot, you want to make an early wrist hinge to shorten your swing arc which will give you a steeper angle of attack. Doing this will minimize the contact time with the rough. Do your best to make contact with the ball as soon as possible. Give it a try.

The chip and run. A lot of people don't use it. Why not, is the question. I know you have seen Tiger use a 3 wood from around the edge of the green. Well, now it is time to use a hybrid. It is shorter in length than a fairway wood so it's easier to work with. Just pretend you are putting the ball. Make a smooth putting style stroke and the ball will bounce off the face of the hybrid quick and get running. Practice this for awhile to gauge how far the ball rolls out and you will have an excellent tool for around the green.
