    Awesome tips. Love the 3 take aways. I loved hitting with my 21° and 27° hybrids, the crisps sounds at contact is sweet and the clubs are not feel heavy like the irons. I am gonna keep substitute by using my hybrids in place of those irons by adjusting club length/swings to the distance i wanted. So my bag would be simple, the driver, 2 hybrids, pw, sw and putter and maybe a 9. The rest of the irons are simply useless for me. 🤩

    Hi Alex, I am a new-be to your channel and I have found your tutorials very enlightening. I am a senior golfer (arthritic and a bit plump) with a slow swing speed. My question is, I have bought a set of Stealth Hybrids from a 3 down to a 7, would all of the ball placements be just behind my left heel or in the same position as using an iron?

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  Год назад +1

      Hi, depends on the angle of attack… but i would say play it a ball forward from normal ball position.
      If you tend to hit down on the ball all the time, it's fine to play at stock ball position. Test it 👍

  • @hansste734
    @hansste734 7 месяцев назад +1

    Something you said here resonated with me. You said that the hybrid swing is fairly level so therefore the clubface and hands should impact the ball at about the same time. Does that mean that the iron swing which is hitting down a bit imply that the hands win the race to the ball (forward shaft lean) and the driver swing which is hitting up indicate that the clubface wins the race to the ball?

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  7 месяцев назад +1

    I have had much more success with the bottom of the arc target side, much more like a long iron. I started out like this and struggled for years. It may be because I am younger and have enough clubhead speed. I feel I enjoy the forgiveness of a hybrid but no compromises for a long iron.

    AHAH moment. It took me ten years to learn / discover this and I'm giving it to your channel because it belongs there: arms should be vertical at address.

    Excellent explanation! My highest iron is a 6 iron...the biggest takeaway from the video is not compressing the hybrids like an iron and the neutral setup as I am always trying for the shaft to lean forward and rotate through. I love my hybrids but I have to aim considerably right because the ball is going left with a hook. Maybe this is the tip I needed to straighten them out. I don't have this tendency with irons or fairway woods and I have gotten use to aiming hybrids right.

    My entire set of clubs (3 thru PW) are hybrids. Should I use the same ball position as you showed for all the clubs?

Should i leave it at ONE HYBRID HEAD WIDTH , BACK from my left heel AS YOUVE INDICATED IN this VIDEO , or further back in my stance , please advise as im confused , and please PLEASE could YOU MAKE A NEW video SHOWING HOW TO STRIKE AND BALL POSITION when hitting HYBRID...

      Hi Graham, thanks for the feedback and I will endeavor to see how well the info could be portrayed in one lesson. We do have an entire program on hybrids and fairway woods that’s in our membership. But may well make that available for individual purchase soon.
      In the mean time, it’s hard to give you precise info without knowing how the shorter ones fly, are you getting enough height?
      What happens if you move them back in stance? Do they go too low?
      Are you trying to lift them up too much? A slightly descending blow should impart more backspin this more height and stopping power.
      So try moving them back. If that feels strange and strike is still off, you may well be leaning back too much. Get more weight (65%) on front leg at set up.
      Test that out. 👍🏌️‍♂️
