Hybrids are designed to help you get the ball in the air and hit longer shots more easily than you could with #4 or #3 iron. This is great for longer par 3s or lengthy par 5s. But for hybrids to do their job, you’ll need to set up correctly.
Ball position:
You’ll want to set up with the ball just ahead of center in your stance. From there, make a normal swing as you would with a mid-iron.
Stay loose:
Trying to hit the ball longer usually causes tension. When you tense up and swing hard without rhythm, you’re likely to top it, or hit it high, wide and right. Let the club do the work.
