In this video I will show you how to hit one of the most useful and forgiving clubs in your bag, the hybrid. The hybrid is a very versatile club that you can use in multiple situations which will help you lower your scores. Let me show you how to hit a hybrid!
A lot of amateurs struggle with long irons due to a lack of speed. In order to hit a long iron successfully you need to be able to generate enough speed to to get enough height and distance. This is where a hybrid comes into the spotlight. Due to the way a hybrid is designed it is able to launch the ball a lot higher at any speed. This means no matter if you're a beginner golfer or pro golfer this club can benefit you
In this video I will take you through a guide that will teach you how hit the hybrid correctly every time. To start with we'll go through the correct concept, followed by the correct setup and then 2 keys that are guaranteed to help you hit your driver better than ever. If you can master this club then you will play better golf and your scores will start to lower fast!
Check out this video, let me show you how to hit your hybrid and like always let me know what other golf coaching videos you would like to see!

Great job Giles on explaining how to hit a hybrid! As an experienced golfer, I just don't have the clubhead speed any longer to successfully launch a 3 or 4 iron, so I have transitioned over the the hybrid. I now carry a 3, 4, and 5 hybrid and I love them. I'm able to get a higher launch angle and they're definitely a "go to" club on long trouble shots. I even use them like a putter when confronted with a short of the green type shot. Always learning from your video's Giles! Keep up the good work!

@DavesRabbitHole 27 дней назад

I've been a hybrid player since the days of the original Taylormad Rescue back in the early 2000's (or whenever it was), I've always had at least one in my bag. I currently have an old Ping G400 5 hybrid (about 26 degrees), then a gap to 5 Wood. The reason for this is i can hit my 5 hybrid up to 195/200 if i step on it, so at all the courses i play thats long enough to reach all the long par 3s, and usually the second par 4 shots, so the 4 and 3 hybrids or irons were just never used. I keep the 5 wood in the bag, then driver, no 3 wood. I can hit my 5 wood 220/230 if i step on it, but with lighter swings i can send it 200 and still get good height and decent angle if i cut it. The 5 wood is my go to for tight par 4 tee shots and second shots on par 5s. I don't use a 3 wood as my success rate at hitting it off the grass is not high enough and very rarely needed, and off the tee i just hit a shorter drive by choking down and making an easy swing. this makes my bag a lot lighter, and gives me much less to think about in terms of club selection, I only carry 11 clubs. The 5 hybrid is really versatile, it has enough loft that i can make an easy swing out of bad lies and hit a 7 or 6 iron shot with it and still get good height, i can mash it and get 4 iron distance, if i choke down it makes a good chipper. Folks with less speed may want to add a 7 wood, but i think these days modern clubs are so versatile that you really don't need anything longer than a 6 iron, even as a low handicap player. The only downside for me is the occasional left hook with the hybrid. Edit: just re read my own comment after a break, I do waffle on a bit 😂. To clarify, when I said you don’t need anything longer than a 6 iron, I mean that is the longest iron in your bag, obviously you could have longer hybrids or woods or whatever.

@Gilesgillgolf 27 дней назад

My 4 iron is my go to club. I use it off the tee when Im struggling with driver. I use it from the fairway for most shots over 160 yards. I feel more comfortable taking something off my 4 iron than I do clubbing down. Its also my punch out club when I need to hit a low runner. I would be lost without it.

@robinwilson8939 Месяц назад

Just a question: during a round, are you allowed to practice swing hitting something on the ground (a tee, a stick, a piece of trash, etc.)? The little trick with the tee brought this to mind... Before you hit your shot, can you throw a tee on the ground and take a practice swing (or two) before you actually address the ball and take the shot?

Yes you are, can’t throw a tee down but if it’s down already then you can

I gave up golf 20 years ago, and when I came back, everyone told me "dump your long irons! get a hybrid!". I tried, but a hybrid was a total fail for me, because the heavy swing weight caused the the clubhead to get ahead of my hands. On most shots I hit them fat or thin, but those were better than the ones where I made good contact. If I made good contact, the shots went low, left, and also hooked, leading to disastrous outcomes. I finally gave up on hybrids, and I now 5 iron, 3 iron, and a 7 wood, and they all have comparable swing weights. I hit them all high and straight, and feel confident that I can hit a good shot with any of them.

Hybrids aren’t for everything but the more recent models have been a lot better. Old hybrids always used to hook

@Drycleanerguy 9 месяцев назад

@@Gilesgillgolf Interesting that they have fixed this. Still, I'm happy with my current clubs, and I think my overall golf is better when all my clubs have similar swing weights. I'll keep this information in mind, though.

I despise my 4 Hybrid - that club is a hooking machine. I'm planning on purchasing the 4I for my TaylorMade P790's

@Gilesgillgolf 11 месяцев назад

Technology has come along way. Go get fit with the latest tech from a GOOD fitter and see if that helps. I used to hate hybrids but got hit by Gatwick golf for a new one and it’s incredible

@GrumpyGolf4 11 месяцев назад

I got fit at Club Champion by a fitter who is listed in Golf Digest as among the best in my area. The Hybrid in question is a Titleist TSi2. I'm sure it's my swing and not the club. I just can't hit Hybrids well and used to crush my 4i previous to the P790s (I have similar issues with woods off the deck...massive hooks or low pulls left). I was even proficient hitting my 3i. The Hybrid does nothing but frustrate me, it's ahook machine the way I swing it. Mark O'Meara looked at my swing and said I'm releasing the club too soon, causing that hook. No idea how to fix that and the way I hit the 4i in the past, I don't see a reason to try to figure it out.

My entire set is made up of hybrids. No driver, no irons. Play to a 6 I’m more consistent than with a traditional bag.

It's not actually cheating. Hybrids approved by the R&A.

@johnnorth9514 3 месяца назад

Thanks, my problem is that I can’t control the height of the club head at the bottom of the arc. Thus 95% fat or thin (sometimes just touching the top of the ball) and most of the remaining 5% have no elevation at all. Very frustrating.
