BREAK 100
Keep the technique simple, the ball low
WHY USE A HYBRID?
The average hybrid has around 20-25o of clubface loft. That is enough to shoot the ball up, out and forwards, even from a slightly downward attack angle. Its rounded edges and deeper sole also tend to cope better with ground contact than the more angular irons, gliding rather than catching or snagging. This makes it the ideal weapon for sending the ball out clear of the grass, but low and chasing.
1. ADDRESS
Set up a smooth brush forward
The one downside of the hybrid for this greenside shot is the club’s length; a shorter club is more controllable. But you can deal with this by gripping down the handle, even on to the shaft with the lower hand. Once you have ‘shortened’ the club like this, you are ready to take your address...
Bring the ball in closer to a narrow stance and set the shaft more upright than usual to encourage a more down-the-line swing path.
Play the ball just a little forward of centre in your stance to promote a smooth, brushing impact.
Add a little forward shaft lean by positioning the hands level with the front edge of the ball, and forward of the clubface.
