Low flying balls!

[nabbit]

Went out yesterday and played 18 holes at Pedham Place gc near Brands Hatch and struck the driver sweetly on almost every hole and mid irons pretty well too. The only problem i seemed to have was getting the ball to fly high with my hybrid 3 and 4 i's.They flew off the club face but why can i not get any height with them? Any advice would be gratefully accepted as this is driving me mad!!!!!

Are you setting up to the ball correctly, you've not got it too far back in your stance ?

Go and book a lesson with your PGA qualified professional. They are best placed to help you sort that out mate, may also help you get your season off to a flier!

May be the best £xxx that you spend golf wise!

I play the hybrid in exactly the same way as i would a 3 or 4 iron. Same swing , same ball position . The ball flight is pretty high without balloning up to far.

p.s How did you like Pedham ? I like the course but the route to the next tee's could be better signposted !!!

I think the art to hitting a decent hybrid, certainly in my opinion, is to sweep it away and not hit such a descending blow as you would on an iron

Hi nomadpaul,yeah i thought the course was pretty good and some of the elevated flag positions made things a bit of a nightmare if i overhit my approach shots.But on the whole i enjoyed it,especially some of the wide fairways! Thought the signs were easier to spot on the back 9 than the front. What did you think of the course?
