[Music] hybrids are such a useful weapon but you’re not using them to their full capabilities if you’re always thinking it’s just for Fairways or just for tea boxes you are missing out so I’m going to show you a few simple unusual ways that you can take advantage of these awesome golf clubs to lower your scores give you more consistency and basically enjoy this stupid game just that little bit more number one this absolutely sucks it doesn’t happen too often but when it does when you land in a pretty grty divot it makes the shot so much harder yes you can use an iron but with the advantage of a hybrid there’s a couple of things that make this just a bit easier especially if you’ve got a decent distance to go obviously there’s a thicker bottom edge here the sole is bigger which helps glide through an uneven surface that we have within the divot with this uneven surface here an iron is going to find it much harder to navigate through the turf because there’s less of a salt it’s going to be harder to basically flatten that out to get that even strike with this bad boy it’s going to do a lot of that work for us so we can get the ball but then continue through with the least amount of disruption the other benefit is hitting a hybrid out of a divot this is a bit of a quirky one and you’re probably not going to find too many when you’re you know 200 odd yards away or whatever it needs to be 150 yards away with the hybrids here there’s a lower center of gravity okay compared to an iron which means that it’s going to help us get under the ball a little bit easier doesn’t mean we’re having to like chunk it more but it’s without even trying it’s literally going to glide through that lower center of gravity is going to help get the ball a little bit more Airborne whereas with the iron we don’t have that and we really have to be very precise with our contact and what can happen is we’re very conscious about getting too steep on it which in turn makes us get a bit of a squirty one so a hybrid is very useful and very simple to give you that much more consistency when faced with this tricky shot this is a tricky shot to play we’ve got quite a long distance for our shot to go it’s a par five we want to try and AD bance it as much as we can but here the grass is really going to tangle up it’s going to be hard to get back down to that ball and yes an iron can do it but you have such a small margin of error you have to be very precise but with a hybrid again you’ve got a larger sole on the bottom more forgiveness it’s going to help glide through just that little bit easier you can’t hit it as far as you could off the Fairway but that’s not the goal here we’re just is trying to make solid contact that advances it without screwing up too badly how do we make the most of this shot out of rough same kind of rules apply when you’re hitting an iron you want to stand a little bit closer to it because we’re also going to grip down it a little bit what’s that going to do it’s going to in essence without really having to think or try anything different you are going to have a slightly more steeper angle of attack which is going to help us get that ball first if we’re too shallow we’re in essence getting too much grass in between the ball and the club face we want to be hitting down a little bit more but not as much as you think and that’s where the hybrid comes in we stand a little bit closer we grip down it and one more little bonus tip if the grass is long what can happen is the grass can sort of wrap around the huzzle of the club face and turn that club over so you can and you might have to test this out depending on how you swing personally but you can open up the club face just a little bit then regrip it that’s going to allow for a little bit of turning over that you can’t necessarily fight against so with gripping down moving the ball basically above the sternum so we’re getting a steeper angle of attack opening up that club face just a little bit we can then now hinge up and progress through that way it Glides through with ease it’s so much easier than than trying to combat mid IRS or long IRS out of this stuff when we’re in this situation we do not want to make it worse these help well this is never a good sight hit a decent drive but it ran off the Fairway okay so what do you do you can just chip out directly this way but I’m still going to have a very long shot ahead and who wants to always be really sensible but playing underneath there if I tried to hit a full long iron or uh a three-wood whatever Club it might be to get me to the green that’s a highrisk shot because we don’t want it going too high cuz that window is actually quite small however there is a stinky bunker in the way as well so I can’t necessarily hit it too low to just run it out this situation happens a lot in variable instances of course this is where this bad boy comes in it’s going to help us keep the ball low but it’s going to enable us to have that sweeping action a little bit more more of a flatter ball flight instead of it being like a chip or trying to punch it out which can often cause too much spin or we just don’t make good contact we keep it so simple we’re trying to do a good half swing but I’m utilizing the utility wood hybrid whatever you want to call it I’m threading the needle but it’s going to give me that perfect balance of trajectory and Direction without having to worry too much about contact or having to manipulate my swing in any real way shape or form so I’m just going to tap it out okay so easy and I was able to advance that you know 180 200 yards effortlessly with an iron that would have been way more stressful around the greens sometimes we’re in thick juicy rough like we are here this is not easy it’s not easy to even play with a lob wedge or a sandwich because we can chunk it especially if we’re a bit tentative especially if it really matters so what do we do try the hybrid you may not think it but it might be the answer you’re looking for not all the time but sometimes and this is one of those cases the green is running all the way down us we do have plenty of green to work with but it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t use it on short shots we’ll get to that in a second but out the rough here again we’re almost cheating by using the hybrid because it’s going to glide through the rough that much easier it’s almost going to create a pathway a parting of the Seas if you will so we can brush that ball through with a very simple little chipping action you don’t have to really do anything too much with the wrists it’s almost like a putt if you think about it that way but we’re just not dipping up and down it’s feeling nice and rounded got a nice firm hole but I got Supple wrist now before I hit this you have to be wary of how hot they come out they do come out a little bit hot so please don’t use this in your first competition where it really matters and then you’re not very good at judging the distance and you’re like damn it Alex why’ you tell me to do that practice it everything I’m talking about here before you use it in real time just at least practice a few times each one just so you have a benchmark an idea of how the ball is going to react now you can’t tell me off it’s disclaimer right so we’re just going to give this a wee little chip just nudge it forward and that came out a little bit hot but not too bad at all all right yeah that’s gone like about 6 ft by but from here not a bad shot if I’d rehearsed it or practiced a little bit more I think I would have gotten a little bit better all right now let’s try one that’s a little bit fiddly a little bit trickier let’s say you’re just a little bit sh of the green here we haven’t got much green to work with this time and you might want to be thinking well I’ve got to hit my sand wedge pitching w and you could hit 99 all these variables but if you are struggling or even if you just want something to give you a different type of confidence or just something new for the heck of it cuz golf is a journey of learning trying new things we’re uphill here so it is quite likely or more likely that you’re going to hit it a little bit heavy the ball is quite a bit above my feet I didn’t plan this I just nudged it here so it is a little bit tricky if I was playing this shot it would be a bit sensitive I’d have to have good feel good technique with this club I don’t really need too much of anything I just need to decide kind of how hard I want to motion okay in my semi putting stroke semi Chip Shot have an idea of how hot it’s coming and I’m just going to nudge it through and ooh not too bad and you can see just in my first little try here it wasn’t a bad shot maybe a hair outside a gimme but that worked quite nicely now finally let’s see what it can do out of the bunker believe it or not you can use this out of a bunker it’s perfect if you’re struggling with chunking it too much or if you’re really lacking confidence you’re like I cannot get out of this bunker what you can do is basically utilize the bounce that we’ve talked a lot is going to use the sole of the club so it’s very difficult to hit into the sand where you’re going to dig down too much now you certainly around the greens you don’t need power it’s almost like hitting a a mini little Chip Shot you’re not trying to catch it too clean but you’re not necessarily trying to dig down either this is going to take a bit of you know not much practice but you need to have some idea of how it’s going to react and it’s a similar technique to what we were doing with the little chip shots around the green but we’re just looking at a bit of a spot just behind the ball we’re trying to get a bit of sand I’m just sort of emphasizing here we’re getting a bit of sand about 1 to 2 in behind the ball and we’re just going to make a nice little smooth movement okay and it pops out every single time so if you are really really frustrated with your greenside bunker shots or if you’ve got like the 80 yard ones that are even trickier this can be a funny useful foundational weapon give it a try there we have it these are a fantastic Little Weapon and hopefully I’ve given you a couple of ideas that you can try for yourself to match your game now this hybrid from pxg is fantastic it’s the Black Ops literally the best club in this kind of division I’ve ever ever used so forgiving so versatile and extremely penetrating ballf flight click the link below and you can even save a little bit now I want you to check out this lesson because it’s going to make the swing to so you don’t have to worry about all of these things quite as much a lot easier
