Try putting your hands forward just a little bit and swing upward and come down with a steep angle of attack. I tried that and in about just fired up like a rocket ship and I was like 15 feet from the cup.
Last year I put 2 hybrids in my bag to replace my 2I and 3I. And I then went out and spent all of last year hooking my hybrid shots all over the place. I really had NO 180-195 yard shot because I couldn't trust the club...or so I thought. Ball position...ball position and...ball position. I was absolutely playing my hybrids off my left heel (righty) because it never occurred to me to "play them like irons." I can tell you that my basic hybrid swing setup is now one ball width forward of center and I now have a dependable, reliable swing, shot and position for my hybrid clubs.
Took my new clubs to the range today. Never had hybrids before so was a little frustrated. This video helped me and I am going back to the range tomorrow! Thank you.
I used my Hybrid just off the green into shallow 2nd cut. Almost hold it rolled perfect and was on the rim of the cup! It is a awesome club around the Green!
Outstanding video! This year I finally broke down and bought a new set of clubs and got a proper fitting. Purchased Callaway Epic Max woods and graphite shafted Apex irons and a graphite shafted 4 hybrid. The iron setups are plus 1 inch and 3 upright, the hybrid is plus a half inch and the woods regular length and flex. I kept my 3 Cleveland graphite shafted wedges and had them adjusted to pair to the Apex irons. The only club that has been a disappointment for me has been the 4 hybrid. I want to thank you because your video exactly described what I have doing wrong with the hybrid and how I have subsequently limited its use to 190 yard recovery shots. Thanks for the invaluable tips and insights, I have and will continue to apply your suggested swing, ball placement position, and use strategies. Thanks again, great video!
This video is excellent! Someone else suggested sweeping the ball off the ground with a hybrid, but I didn't find that effective. Your advice to hit down on the ball as we do with an iron was the game changer for me. Your other suggestions regarding use around the green, off he tee, narrow fairways are also very useful. Thank you -
Great instruction, easy to understand. I now hit down on all my hybrids and it solved many problems. I don’t use a tee for my hybrids on tee shots because the strikes are not as solid for me for some reason as compared to just hitting it off the ground. I carry a Titleist 910H 24 & 27 degree hybrid. I also use them quite a bit for chipping around the green. If the lie is tight and if using a wedge is questionable, I don’t hesitate to chip with a hybrid and usually it’s a better result anyway.
My set is 3 thru PW...all hybrids. I hit these so much better than I did with my old traditional iron set. I struggle with shots mainly going left, but I hit the ball more solid than I did with traditional irons.
I found your video 3 weeks ago re: Hitting Hybrids. 25 years ago I hit fairway wood pretty well. Now that I am back to playing again over the last 5 years, my odds of hitting a Fairway Wood were zip to none. Ithem but, since I had not been hitting woods, what did I have to loose. I will take 180 and 195 yards all day. Over my last 4 rounds I have had 1 Eagle and 8 Birdies (par 4's & 5's)and taken an average of 7-8 strokes off my game. Confidence is building rapidly. Thanks again for the video.
I love hybrids. You might add how high to tee a hybrid. I may have missed it but if not it would be a good addition. I usually tee mine very low. Thanks. :)
I like using my 3 hybrid when I’ve got 100-170 yards to go but tree limbs are blocking trajectory of my normal iron shot or if limbs are in my swing plane. I treat it like a bump and run putter swing that a lot of people use a 7 or 8 iron on around the green, except the hybrid launches it, even with just a 2’-3’ back swing, and it’s easy to hit squarely with such a short swing. Of course, just like any bump and run shot you have to factor in conditions and slope etc to properly control distance, but it has saved me several times and gotten me on or near several greens I had no business getting close to otherwise.
Perfect timing on this video. I've been frustrated hitting hybrids in the past. Very inconsistent, so I'm thinking I need to switch to a stiffer shaft, as you did. Can you incorporate fairway woods and hybrids into a video about hitting off slopes? I live in a mountainous area and the courses rarely are flat.
I’m very inconsistent with my hybrids and woods I’ll hit a high and far shot then I’ll hit three tops or chunks, I only find success with a shorter swing and brushing the grass as I hit these clubs 🤷♂️ confused is an understatement
All good tips here. You are a bit general as to what club you are hitting in the video. I would like to see you guys like yourself or Todd Kolb talk about or do a video on the higher lofted hybrids such as 6 thru SW. so far I have not seen much on RUclips on this topic. I like your videos. Keep ‘m coming.
Great video with very solid tips. A question for you. I'm a 79 y/o golfer with some back issues and have lost considerable distance. In an effort to regain the distance, I find myself trying to swing harder which as you might expect, causes a lot of other problems. I currently play Titleist AP 1 irons with senior flex shafts. I've been intrigued with s few of the hybrid iron sets (Wilson, Cleveland, Cobra) as a way of gaining some distance but also helping me keep the ball in play. I'm currently a 12.9 hndc but am going in the wrong way. Comments/ideas.
Wayne Kivi thank you for posting. This is why I love golf, no matter our age 79 or 9 we can always improve! As our swing speed goes down the hybrids are a good option. They will make it easier to get the ball up in the air which will provide more distance and make shots into the green easier. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and posting!
Great video explaining hybrids. One question I have is where are the hands at setup? Are the hands over the ball? In front of the ball? Or behind the ball? I couldn't tell on your video.
I hit my hybrid so good at the range then every time I try to use it on the course I top it. I really don’t understand why but it’s frustrating as hell. My biggest goal for this season is to hit a green with it
Hitting a solid hybrid is key for so many golfers to play a nice round. If you are interested in learning more, we cover this in detail in my new book www.badliegolfbook.com/
In order to make solid contact with a ball on the ground there does need to be some slight downward strike at impact. Now it is certainly not as much as an iron, however there is some...good question...
Cant wait to try this i juat cant hit hybrid at all irons good woods good i just get frustrated its literally inbetween the 2 ffs. Maybe thats the issue im treatimg it like a wood it just looks more like a wood than a iron
You guys got to get on the same page. Saw a video by one of your co-workers, Todd Kolb, and he says the opposite of what you're saying (ie. You need to sweep the ball; Have it forward in your stance).
Thanks for watching and commenting. There are different approaches to hitting any shot, based on your individual swing and tendencies. Even the best swings on Tour have very different styles and approaches, so what may work for some may not work for all. Appreciate you adding to the conversation.
I would like to see a video(s) of striking balls from uneven lies below feet above feet etc. Especially mixing irons, hybrids and fairways. My home course gets tough with tight hard pan lies which makes these shots all the more difficult. Common problem that I believe many of us would like to hear your advice on and hopefully execute with reliable consistency. Thanks
@@USGOLFTVshow Thanks! I imagine I will have the opportunity to try this out tomorrow. Trust you can also show sometime, using a hybrid and fairway. I had been gripping down usually on uphill lies but not downhill lies. Have to remember the swing path too.
I think this is a great video but I wish you would have sort of defined exactly WHEN you need to use a hybrid. I have a 3 and a 5 and at the range I don’t have a goal. Just to not slice and get some “impressive” yardage. In practical situations I don’t really know what type of yardage I should be aiming for. What should I aim for as far as irons vs hybrids range wise?
Another comment I have is, what about toe position? I have found that turning my club head slightly in at the top has made a difference. Should the club head be facing straight forward?
Some hybrid brands are hotter than others. Furthermore, you need to know how hot your irons are before you replace your longer irons with 'a' hybrid. Brand, Loft, shaft, and 'irons in bag relativity,' are all important.
The only time I can make my 5 hybrid work for me is teeing off at a par 3. On the fairway, at best, my 3 hybrid does a low straight drive (if I can even properly connect with it) that gets some distance but nothing that I can't almost do with my 5 iron. My hybrids have been the bane of my golfing since I started 2 years ago. I think this video will help me considerably.
Hey us golf. So I have a 4 hybrid that I hit down on and love it. I recently got a 3 hybrid. And setting up feels a bit awkward hitting down because it is a bit longer with 19 degrees of loft vs my 4 hybrid that is a bit shorter with 22 degrees of loft. Do you have any tips on trying to hit down with the 3 hybrid? If you see my message I would be so greatful! Also just subscribed :)
I just got a new set of irons that included 4h,5h, 6h. I’m grateful for this video especially the last bit. I assume for using a hybrid on a tee shot, I’d use a very short golf tee. Also, what hybrid would you use to roll the ball onto the green? Sometimes my short pitching wedge goes too far in that spot and a ground ball might be easier to control. Thanks for the tips! My second year playing and it’s an interesting adventure!
I'm a 10.5 handicap. Sometimes I play an incredible round and break 70. That being said I'm typically low to mid 80s and I'm no pro not do I have time to play 5 days a week. I love what you said about a basic fitting. When I bought my last set I hit several clubs then ordered them with shafts that matched my swing speed and didn't go any further accept having the lie adjusted 1 degree upright because of my height. It was simple and easy. Now the only excuse I have is me.
I play golf in Scotland where the ground is almost always wet and spongey... When I hit down on the ball I think the wet spongey grass causes fat shots and chunks... Is there something to this or am I just miss hitting? I'm considering getting cleveland launchers, because I feel like the flat bottom will reduce the fat shots
@@andrewstocksdale8217 go out there and hit over 100 balls, when you hit a pure one, keep on doing exactly what you did, keep hitting until more and more come off clean. Hit as long as you have to to get repetition and a flow, so you dont ever forget the feel and can pick it up really fast next time you go out and hit. It's simple I promise, you can learn from every shot you take, all about repetition and getting the feel the right way to hit pure everytime
Good question. There are many good ones on the market. We suggest staying with a name brand, Titleist, Ping, Callaway. Look for a 22-24 degree loft. Hope that helps...
Great questions, we like to have a little more pressure on the lead foot at address, maybe 60/40 to allow the body to unweight in the backswing without swaying. We also like the hands to fall basically below the shoulders to get you a proper distance from the ball. Here is a quick ball position lesson we did a few years ago to help: ruclips.net/video/t0Dyp7qMa7s/видео.html Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@USGOLFTVshow igot the 425 hybrid and I usually push ball Right handed But now am hitting left !Where should the club be set at .big plus little plus flat lie what confusing 😕
@@karamramyead3818 those are solid scores. Suggest you go with a regular flex shaft with a 21 degree loft. This is a good combination for your swing speed. Hope that helps...
I have tried 5-6 different hybrids mine 6 years golfing. They're not all the same some is too shut at address position and other better out of bad lies rough some not. Smaller head of hybrids are better out getting out deep rough?
Hilarious. Totally the opposite of how you should hit your hybrids. His alignment is right, but the swing path he recommends is totally wrong. Rick Shiels has a much better youtoube channel with great advice on how to hit hybrids correctly.

Do you de-loft the club like a iron? Thanks for a reply. Loved your link.

nice in the trees to get out low shots
Make a wider arc in your swing to help you sweep it off the turf. Works every time
awesome thanks but taking a divot with a hybrid seems impossible ...
Very good.
Brilliant!!!
With a tee is it the same swing. Like an iron. Or a driver. Guy from Montreal Québec Canada
When hitting a hybrid off the tee be sure to tee it down more like an iron. 👊

You are on the right track. More bounce and a wider sole will help on those wet soft conditions.

I keep hitting low shots with my hybrids...even if I use them as the same format as an Iron...any ideas?
Good question, are they low and left or just low?
@@USGOLFTVshow Just low....

There never seems to be a desciption on how far away to be from ball and how should weight be distributed.
Great questions, we like to have a little more pressure on the lead foot at address, maybe 60/40 to allow the body to unweight in the backswing without swaying. We also like the hands to fall basically below the shoulders to get you a proper distance from the ball. Here is a quick ball position lesson we did a few years ago to help: ruclips.net/video/t0Dyp7qMa7s/видео.html
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@USGOLFTVshow igot the 425 hybrid and I usually push ball Right handed But now am hitting left !Where should the club be set at .big plus little plus flat lie what confusing 😕
Ball position. For a 5 hybrid?
Similar to a mid iron, just slightly forward of center.
Fittimg is not available in my country. Should i quit golf?
We don’t want anyone to quit golf! Do you know your swing speed? Average score?
@@USGOLFTVshow l am 70 yrs old. Speed around 80 mph. Handicap 20. Score 95 on average
@@karamramyead3818 those are solid scores. Suggest you go with a regular flex shaft with a 21 degree loft. This is a good combination for your swing speed. Hope that helps...
Tee height with different hybrids????
Yep, tee it so the ball is barely above the top of the grass. Good question
Ball position on 4H, 5H and 6H?
Here is a video on ball position ruclips.net/video/PeWAFo0_Qfc/видео.htmlsi=IY0QyMv08JzRaMzd
do you promote a downward swing by leaning shaft forward thanks
mack042 we like a slight forward shaft lean with the irons at impact. Not much of a lean for hybrids...
What about a tight lie on the fairway?
I have tried 5-6 different hybrids mine 6 years golfing. They're not all the same some is too shut at address position and other better out of bad lies rough some not. Smaller head of hybrids are better out getting out deep rough?
yuan yu yes, the smaller heads are better out of the rough. Good point...thanks for adding to the conversation
If I could trust my shots I wouldn't watch RUclips for tips.
No One. No. One. No. One. No. One ever talks about the Left Foot..Turn The Left Foot out 30°-45° towards Your Target... Hello

golfing in jeans? 😱
Hilarious. Totally the opposite of how you should hit your hybrids. His alignment is right, but the swing path he recommends is totally wrong. Rick Shiels has a much better youtoube channel with great advice on how to hit hybrids correctly.
Eric, appreciate you taking time to comment. Help us understand where we are wrong? Rick is a smart guy and great coach, we have nothing but respect for him and his content. Look forward to hearing from you.
