Hybrid tips

[hangukgenius]

I'm taking the plunge into the world of hybrids given their alleged ease of use. I've always been consistent with my 4 iron off the deck but not my 3 iron so I've opted to replace that. It should also be slightly longer than a 3 iron if I'm correct?

Any tips on using a hybrid given that I've never used one before? What's the worst lie you would consider using one?

I have used a 4iron Hybrid replacement and have tried Adams, TM and Wilson Staff

The best all rounder has been the TM burner rescue no. 4

You must play them like an iron i.e downwards strike like an iron

I would tend to use an iron out of trouble as the hybrid is good but not that good in my opinion more for just off the fairway type shots.

100% agree with the post above regarding hitting it like an iron rather than a fairway wood. I have been using one for a long time now and I will hit it pretty much from any lie, anywhere within reason. Even if I am in the rough needing a long shot, unless it is properly buried, I use the rescue as even if it does not come out properly it still goes well and gets down the fairway.

Imurg is the man to chat about this. He's tried every ball position going in relation to hybrids.

Sounds good. Longest club I'll use out of proper rough now is a five iron!
