Swing your hybrid clubs the
same as you would your 4-iron
THE NEW HYBRID CLUBS
ARE A breakthrough for the average golfer. Without changing
your swing, you can hit the ball higher and straighter
than you can your 3- or 4- iron, which shortly are going
to find a permanent place in your garage. The question
is, what type of swing do you make? The answer is, the
same swing you used to make with your now-defunct long
irons. That means playing the ball forward in your stance,
directly below the logo on your shirt, and using your normal
grip, stance and posture. You want to be relaxed at address,
because there is no needto press with these clubs. They’re
light, forgiving and easy to swing.
Take the club back low and make a smooth, comfortable turn. On
the downswing, don’t think of hitting down sharply on
the ball. You want to make more of a sweeping-type swing, hitting
down on the ball very slightly. You should take a tiny divot,
if any divot at all. Remember to swing easy, at about 80% of
your effort for a normal shot. The club will do the rest, even
off the tightest fairway lies. Get ready to have some fun.
