In this video I discuss the most important thing to hitting your hybrid club correctly. A downward angle of attack is needed to compress the ball and hit high towering shots!

Hi I’m Jay Kelly, welcome to my channel Jay Kelly Golf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf with easy to apply drills for your golf.
I mainly specialise in long game coaching. I look to provide you with some breakdowns and areas to search for in your game.
I understand not one drill will help the same issue so I look to dive deeper into what you can mechanically look for.
I want to help you play better golf so I will be providing topics on all areas of your game such as how to help fix your slice, fix your hook, hit the ball further and striking the golf ball better.
If you enjoy my channel, please make sure you hit subscribe and also hit the notification bell. This way you are always notified when I release new content.
Thanks for watching!
So if we start going through some of these numbers you can see that last shot I hit there I hit down on the ball by 2.7 de and my low point was 3 in after the golf Ball hi everyone and welcome back to my channel in today’s video I’m going to be discussing how we should be hitting our hybrids and these are meant to be one of the most easiest clubs to hit but there’s some things that have to happen in order to hit them well so I’m going
To explain that in this video and let’s get into it so there are so many different types of hybrids out there they come in different shapes and sizes and they come in different Lofts they can range now anything from a seven hybrid all the way up to a or down even
To a two hybrid and where would we need those and for a lot of people it is purely about Loft and launch okay so a hybrid is built in a certain way it is an iron replacement in my opinion not a wood okay so that’s where a lot of
People go wrong they try and treat it like a fairway wood and they attack it in the wrong manner but this is an iron replacement and you’ll see here that it has quite a long tail at the back which is going to be really helpful for having
A nice shallow attack angle and picking it off the surface and it launching nice and high for you so this is in my hand here is a five hybrid now please don’t assume that because this one’s a three hybrid it’s necessarily going to go further it’s very important that we
Understand about launch characteristics and the easiest way that I explain it to people is think about when you’re Watering your garden at home so I turn the hose on and I start watering the garden now I need to reach plants that are in different locations so some are
In front of me some are at the back of the garden and I could turn the tap on a little bit faster which is effectively Club Ed speed but I’m not going to do that we’re going to assume it’s exactly the same um power coming out now if I
Just stand here and I water these plants my because I’ve launched it quite low the water will go quite low whereas as I start to raise the hose the water starts to travel a little bit further so I’m able to reach the plants at the back of
The garden then of course if I launch it too high the water just comes back down on me so it’s very important that we find the right Loft uh for you as well so if you are someone that hits the ball quite low please don’t go jumping into a
Three hybrid expecting it to go really really far because you might launch it on the lower side so maybe a five hybrid or a four hybrid actually might go a little bit further purely because you’re going to be able to launch it that little bit higher and get a little bit
More carry out of it okay so now into how we should be hitting a hybrid I’ve already told you it’s an iron replacement which means means we still need a descending blow into the back of the ball meaning the club is still going to be traveling down collecting the ball
And not quite taking a divot but it has got a nice flat sole so it it won’t actually dig into the ground too much but it is really important that we do have a nice downward attack for almost anything that’s off the floor and I would say it’s exactly the same if
You’ve got a hybrid um or a fairway wood as well which means as for its ball position doesn’t need to be right off the front foot the club is designed to help the ball up in the air with its properties anyway so we don’t necessarily need the ball too far
Forward so I would say if I have my ball positioned here it would be just inside my left Hill I would say that’s probably a very small Club head width or even a ball or two so that’s where I think you should address it now again just like
Any other iron shot you’re probably going to want a little bit of weight on your lead side and if you’ve watched some my other videos you’ll understand that about 55% on the lead side is actually tour average so that’s exactly where I want to see you here now in a
Moment I’m going to show you some numbers and you’re going to see exactly how many degrees I’m hitting down into this club and it is still appropriate to hit down into it so as I take my setup I’m not going to do anything funky to
Help this ball in the air I’m not going to try and lean back and pick it up I’m actually still going to move forward allow my arms to straighten into the back of the ball and get some good compression if you’re hitting it low I would definitely look into the Loft that
You’re using um as much as you are how you get it in the air so now I’ve got my good ball position I’m going to hit a few shots for You so that one there was a really really good contact so what we will oh good shot what we’ll do now is let’s just go through and start having a look at those numbers so if we start going through some of these numbers you can
See that last shot hit there I hit down on the ball by 2.7 de and my low point was 3 in after the golf ball so what that means is my club was physically at its lowest point bottoming out 3 in after the golf ball so you can see I
Still got forward on that I still had a descending blow on average of 3.2 de so if we go through each of those shots now you can see that one 2.7 3.3 nearly hitting 4 in after the ball same again you can start to see how
The shots are hitting all after the go ball with a descending blow so some ideas into how I was able to produce home numbers were or things that I think about in my own game was making sure that to generate speed and power I didn’t move right off the ball okay one
Of the things I try really hard in my swing is to keep myself nice and centered as I turn to the top then I can push forward and extend into the follow through that’s a really key piece for me to make decent contact the second thing is making sure that I’m constantly
Moving my pressure forward now that doesn’t necessarily mean my head and lower half are going forward for me I swing to the top I make sure I turn and then I’m trying to move into my left knee keeping my head relatively still keep moving moving moving moving moving
As I strike the ball it’s still okay even with a wood to have a small amount of shaft lean if we just assume that everything needs to point at our left groin we probably won’t be too far away so for example if I had a wedge in
My hand which the ball was back here I would be trying to present enough shaft lean that this pointed to my left groin equally if I had a driver in my hand that the ball position was up in The Stance again left groin would probably be appropriate because we don’t want too
Much sharling so even with even with hybrid knowing that the ball is one Club head back or a couple of balls back it’s appropriate to have just a small amount of shaft lean now that would be the same if it was off a small te as well we just
Wouldn’t tear up too high we just te up to make it easier to strike up the middle of the face so I’m going to hit one more for you and I hope that video really helped so thank you for watching and if that video helped then please give it
The thumbs up and if you could subscribe to my channel it would really mean a lot and really help so thanks again and I’ll see you all soon
