3 DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE YOUR HYBRID ON THE GOLF COURSE

[@robthomson916]

I've been using my hybrid in similar chipping situations and I have been quite successful. Great video.

[@sting5112002]

Great video because I LOVE my 2 hybrids (19 & 22 degree). They replace my 3 and 4 iron respectively, and I love the versatility they provide on the course. Every single time I pull those out, they just scream confidence and make the game more enjoyable for me. Keep up the great videos!!

[@Cortlandt_Cash]

What a fantastic tutorial. A+ Content, A++ Delivery.

[@dwr4992]

Great tip Chris! I've been using my 6 and 7 hybrids for chip and run shots anywhere up to 50 metres for my last 3 rounds. It has revolutionised my short game and I've taken so many strokes off my score! I used to try variations of PW, 56, 52 trying to get that lovely loft and stop that the pros do - but invariably I would chunk it off the sole and shoot right through, or I'd catch it thin and fall short so many times. I accepted that I just don't have the skills to do it. So I tried the hybrid chip and run approach instead. Brilliant! So easy, more controlled and more confidence around the green.

[@johncreet1254]

I've heard many people talk about standing a little closer to the ball for short chips but until watching this video nobody has ever explained why. Extremely useful, thanks.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks John 👍

[@alexmiller5945]

I've never thought of using my hybrid as a chipper, thanks for the advice

[@cordellarterbury1986]

I enjoy your presentations, they are clear, precise and easy to understand. My hybrid and 3 wd off the ground are usually on the low side. From your demonstration, I interpret that I should hit more downward into the ball; that I am probably coming into the ball too level.

[@johnjewell1821]

This was a wonderful explanation of how to use a hybrid! Thank you so much......

[@bowl816]

I have used all of these and loved the hybrids so much, I switched to all hybrids, watching my score drop. My 2 favorites have been using the hybrid off the tee, and also putting from the edge of the rough by the fringe and also when on the fringe, like this about 50 feet away.

[@chriswharton]

Great golfer. Natural teacher.

[@80guitarguy82]

Exactly what I was looking for in terms of hybrid instruction, especially about teeing up the ball and stroke consistency. Just bought a used one to replace my 3i. Can't wait to use it.

[@jeffstreelman1330]

Hybrids are great clubs, replaced my 3 and 4 with Calloway hybrids. Hit more straight shots with them than my long irons. Like the idea of a long chip shot near the green. Great work as always Chris.

[@Konrad_kicks]

Dude. Absolutely amazing breakdown and insights

[@seamuswardowski1962]

I choose to use my hybrid for punch shots out of the trees, instead of a 4 or 5 iron, the hybrid takes less energy in the swing and will go straighter - great for punching out 150 up the green between several trees, etc.

[@IamGroot786]

Best golf teacher out there, totally saved my game!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks and great to hear 👍

[@storieswithaly1247]

I affirm the flexibility of the hybrid and actually the confidence it gives you. Recently I walked the course for many rounds just with six clubs - no putter even- using the hybrid as the putter also and my score was as good as when I had the full set- the hybrid was the most used club

[@Geep1778]

A hybrid was the first club in my bag that I actually felt good about using early on when I started playing. I still love my 4H n still hit it well and use it for typical longer distance shots and on occasion to hit low punch shots when I’m in trouble n need a low long distance shot. Like a wayward drive that needs to be put on the green or at least shot back into better position. I will never change my Callaway Xhot 4H🙌

[@NeilWoodSales]

I like this idea and will try putting on a difficult elevated green at our course. Thank you Chris

[@joelwatson2015]

Chris, Thank you very much for taking the time to enlighten me about the hybrid clubs. I play with a set and find them very forgiving and I place the ball with more accuracy when in the grass, but I did not realize the various ways to use them. Very Good Video.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Joel 👍

[@joedubiel6702]

Well done Chris. I actually use a Callaway Rogue X # 8 (32 degrees) Hybrid for chipping and getting out of the bunkers. Excellent video Chris. I actually enjoy a complete set of hybrids in the bag. A mix between Callaway Rogue X and Ping G 400. I wouldn't say your video is too long. I would call it complete with solid explanations and instruction. A job very well done. Best wishes, Spider Dubiel

[@Libbyyyyyyyyyy]

Yuck!

[@josephdubiel7129]

@@Libbyyyyyyyyyy Works great for me.

[@randoshus3762]

Man, thanks for mentioning the tee height! I've watched many vids on here about hybrids, and they don't even mention the height! A quarter inch is perfect height! I would add that steel shafts are underrated here, and a shorter club is better than too long. Off a tee I can smash a 4 hybrid, but I can't hit a driver for anything.... beautiful swing at 6:18!

[@markhimpoo4972]

Thanks Chris for another great video on something so misunderstood, but not addressed by other teaching videos. Has helped me so much ,as used to often top my hybrid .

[@kimberlyethridge6492]

I’ve always used my pitching wedge next to green , I will try this next time I’m on the course

[@Budsport_TV]

Great tip on teeing the ball down when using the hybrid for your first shot. Sometimes don’t hit it cleanly/pop that ball into the air off the Tee, generally it’s from teeing the ball up too high & subsequently having to modify my swing

[@richardgaffney6057]

Nice one Chris - good practical advice, particularly the detail about the tee height! - Thanks.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Richard 👍👍

[@daveadey4958]

Great video Chris, play on a links course and using a hybrid around the green is a great tool to have

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Dave 👍

[@nathonhamilton4524]

Thanks for this advise Chris , ive just bought a new benross hybrid , not used it yet , but i will soon.

[@skipper1747]

Thanks for the video, Chris. My irons are Ping Karsten cavity backs which hit great. Reasonably long, high and very forgiving. The two hybrids which came with the set are a 3h and a 4h. After 4 years of trying to hit the hybrids, I have found them to be the most frustrating clubs in my bag. I’ve tried hitting like irons, hitting like fairway woods, steep, shallow, easy, hard...all i can hit with them are worm burners. Consequently, i don’t even put them in my bag anymore. I replaced them with a 7 metal wood, which i hit very well. Considering how well i hit ALL my clubs with the exception of the two hybrids, I know I am doing something desperately wrong. What are the most common mistakes a duffer like me makes with hybrids? Thank you from Texas!

[@keithsmith799]

Chris Great set of videos - good production and very professionally executed Thanks - we will follow you and try many of your tips out as my wife works through the first year as a beginner and i try and reveal my true potential after 30 years or so . Keith Smith

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Keith very much appreciated 👍

[@SantiagoTM1]

Thank you kindly Professor Chris Ryan. That was so informative. I can't begin to tell you how many times, I've "Chili Dipped" my chips. I can't wait to try your lessons.

[@patrickyoung8088]

Great tips and i will practice especially the chipping techniques

[@doc2196]

Great advice again M8. Fell well out of love with hybrids after nearly decapitating a player on a green almost at 90 degrees to my right, (im a RH player) big out of the toe strike. I lost total trust and confidence in my ability to use them. Playing on my own and having the occasional crack with them, I found new faith after discovering your first point, real low tee height. I also pick a point about the length of the club head in front of the ball, place my left toe in line with that point and hey presto, im falling in love with them all over again. Big distance. Bad shots are becoming much rarer. :)

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Great to hear your back using them. Tough game when our confidence goes, but sounds like you did the right thing to get it back 👍👍

[@geofffrancis210]

What great tips. Will have to go and give them a go. Thanks boys.

[@paulcairney1954]

never thought about using my hybrid as a rescue round about the green great video chris

[@HJautocenter]

Great video. What do you think of hitting a hybrid with a long rough shot? Assume the grass would impact the shot.

[@happygolfer6335]

I actually putt off the green with my 3 wood. I am a very confident chip/pitcher but if the greens are super fast or hard, i will opt for ye ol 3w putt. I have thought about using my hybrid but its a 16 degree 2HY and the loft scares me, i am afraid of getting that ball up with no spin and running off the green. my 3 wood is 13 degrees and rolls more like a putter off the green. Great video. Thank you Chris.

[@fanfan7848]

Why use a 3 wood instead of a putter?

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Thanks Chris very good explanation , nice lesson. Like it.

[@terryholloway9930]

Great tip Chris enjoyed I love mine existing 10 love them still working on them

[@WH6FQE]

I just swapped out my 3-7 irons for Ping G425 hybrids for their versatility and they are easier to hit cleanly than their respective irons are.

[@geoffreydummett6841]

Absolutely love my Taylormade Stage 2 19 degree tour hybrid, I also have an older Taylormade 22 degree hybrid, I want to find a Stage 25 degree for use in winter, I always tee it up low and I use both the hybrid and 3 woods around the green, I call them my Texas wedges, no insult intended, that's what we call them in Australia ;) !

[@paulneaves3680]

Nice video Chris. Good advice and good explanations for your hobbiest golfer like me. The people telling you you shanked it or hit it in the water.........(the same ones who blame the lie of the grass or the speed of the greens for their woeful golf)........can go do one! That’s my two penneth worth anyway. Looking forward to some more of your videos buddy, keep them up.

[@robdobbie9618]

I have just got a Taylormade Burner rescue club and I am keen to try it out on Thursday

[@morrisgallo8422]

Swiss Army knife of clubs. Love my hybrids. Good video Chris.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Absolutely, so versatile 👍

[@oneworld2642]

Very good advice Sir👌👌 ..... I enjoy using hybrid club for 1st (par 3) , 2nd and 3rd shots, and for long chip near the putting green. I prefer less club to use for more consistent swing.

[@andylorna1950]

Thanks Chris, hybrid definitely coming out for serious practice. 👍⛳️

[@prasunchakraverty5093]

Most helpful. Thank you

[@TheHumewood]

Great teaching. A fan for life.

[@jameslovering9158]

I like Hybrids due to the ability to play poor lies, I think for most causal playa's they don't need Irons >6 Iron, 2 Hybrids are a much easier club combo. For many, I think they can replace a 3 wood. With some practice, you can work them low or high, alittle hard to work a fade though. I use my 5 Hybrid around the greens to bump it on close.

[@josephdubiel7129]

Thanks Chris. Good lesson.

[@dianespengler7787]

Good teacher, Mate.

[@jjamro]

Just swapped out my 4 iron for a 4 hybrid. Can't wait to get out on the course tomorrow!

[@jaymichicoff1715]

How'd it work out for you?

thanks Chris! great vid, gonna try some of these things out at the range tomorrow, i'm committed to getting these hybrids working!

I have replaced my 6 iron with a 6 hybrid and then I have replaced my 3 wood with a low lofted 5 hybrid and then I have a middle lofted 5 hybrid as well for more safety shots in tough lie.

Thanks for video very informative as always...

[@navykeef]

I thought this was an excellent video. Thanks for the tips kind Sir.

[@joebyrne6211]

Just subscribed to your channel. Great video. I’m most comfortable with a hybrid, so it’s good to know that I can use it for different shots. Using it close to the green, instead of chipping a shot was a helpful tip, especially if you’re in the rough and not that great with a wedge. Thanks!

[@nicted9308]

Good imagination for the last drill, I have never had a hybrid but was thinking about buying one as I'm feeling a bit left behind as everyone has them now. Another good video Chris

[@BigL3bowsky]

Try one, you will probably love it. Favorite club in my bag 😁

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hi nic, definitely worth trying and getting the right one is key, but can be very useful 👍

[@jd9799]

You can use a 5 wood the same way too

[@alanjordan6198]

Hybrids, I used to play them well. But not as good now, awful from the tee. Hope this helps me improve my hybrid play. Thanks Chris

Thanks Alan hope it helps 👍

Thank you sir. Test the last option 👍

Good video, thx Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Julian 👍👍

[@paulcairney1954]

never used my hybrid from the edge of the green before i allways take a straight edge club like a 5 or 6 to get it up to the hole for a reasonable putt

I have had to throw my hybrids in cupboard, I don't have to much issues hitting longer irons but when I try hybrids my shot tends to go way ti high and right.. I'm trying to pay both the iron and hybrid the same but no luck.. I have a 3 and 5 hybrid

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

Good info on chipping. What club are you calling a hybrid? Almost looks like a Taylor Made 3 wood? ?

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

M3

[@KMKM2002]

Do you hit your hybrid off the fairway exactly like say a 5 iron or closer to a wood?

[@JohnnysaidWhat]

Gotta be honest really think you should add a shot tracer to your videos...

[@ahendy2051]

Hi Chris, I watched your video before going out on the course. I still failed to make decent contact with the ball. Furthermore I never use driver or 3 wood on the course. Help would be great

[@bigdogpete43]

My 4 and 5 hybrid are the most irreplaceable clubs in my bag. Most par 5s are 2 hybrids and a wedge.

[@hfunable]

Played 9 holes today after months of lay off. First hole dog legged right Par 4. Second shot 5 yards shy off Green. Pin another 5 yards away. Chipped with a Sand Wedge and landed just before the green. Made a double boogie. Went back to same place and used the rescue wood and it was about a yard from the hole. Made the putt. 😂

[@toddrobertson1398]

I used a 3 hybrid off the tee all summer.. does it go as far? No.. but it goes about 180 to 185 and I’m in the fairway almost every time. Even a bad shot is in a good spot

[@dolfkaris5611]

My hybride is my fav club

[@Kiwi_As]

What hybrid are you using in this video and do you think that it is the best all-round one if I was to buy just one for my bag?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

This is the M1 and it’s awesome, really versatile, but I’d also recommend looking at the TaylorMade GAPR clubs 👍

[@josephdubiel7129]

What degree of hybrid were you using in this video Chris??? A 19 degree # 3 Hybrid or something different? What degree of hybrid would be best if you were say 40 yards or so from the green give or take a bit either way???

hybrid for chipping, never thought about this :)

[@revvkev301]

But how do you get perfect shady golf days like that mate

[@archiguitarchi]

Which hybrid is best of the tee, 4, 3, or 2?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Really just depends on your bag set up and current lofts, a fitting should sort this out 👍👍

[@MrMazin2]

What number hybrid?

[@ianwoollard2063]

To be honest I’ve never liked mine and so much of the time the grass,lie or uneven ground make getting a decent shot with it too difficult. It just doesn’t feel right 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@meekrodriguez6438]

Nice golf videos

[@mctayto1]

Taken my hybrids out of the bag as they have a left tendency unless I remember to slightly open the face first.

[@mctayto1]

When I say left I refer to draw thus already in to out marginally. On my irons this produces a baby draw but with a hybrid this escalates to 15yd. We have a par 3 that is 190-200 yd depending on flag and tee position with a 10yd window a third of the way to the hole between trees. In order to hit a hybrid the risk of catching these trees is to great. It would be wiser to use two wedges and play for a bogey.

[@mctayto1]

Currently I go short with a 6 iron as I have a tendency to fat my 4 iron. Another issue with this hole is greenside bunkers left & right front so if you choose a low shot you must be straight ie 10yd between front bunkers which is why I use a short shot for safety. My theory is short, then close with a chip and one putt. It doesn't always go to plan :( so may try other hybrids to see if I can find a less draw biased one..

[@mctayto1]

Being a par three the hole is designed to land on the green and have 2 putts for par. On this hole landing short needs a near perfect 2nd shot to achieve par due to undulations of the green. Landing on the green with the first shot gives you the opportunity to putt close and then achieve par. It is our only par 3 that birdies are a premium and pars are the real objective. Stroke index 6. Going long isn't an option so it also rules out a 3/4 shot for 3 wood

[@ciaranra1]

I am the same, I can over draw my hybrid clubs

[@lukehutchinson4395]

I've always ran 2 hybrids, a 17 and a 23 degree. I wouldn't trade my 23 degree for the world, you basically have a 220 yard wedge 😂

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Ha, I like that, a wedge that you can hit from 220! 😂

[@scottiescott9297]

Interesting. I sometimes hit my 3Hy 215-225, but struggle to consistently hit 220 with my D. So... if there’s a risk of shanking my D shots into the woods or water, and I’m (usually) hitting longer or just-as-long with my 3W and 3Hy anyway, why even take the D out of the bag? Until my coach can help me get my Driver swing right, I’ll be (and have been) modifying my approach to all par4s and 5s. I’ll bust out the 3W and 3Hy more than my D, because in my effort to reach the Par 4s in 2, I just need to hit 200+ - twice... and I’m there. Similar approach to the Par 5s.

[@paulsummerside]

This club in reality is not a new idea, it infact resembles some of the earliest clubs from the days when hickory shafts were the norm. Its this knowledge that has made me more accepting of them than would otherwise have been, as I love my 3 and 4 iron, but for me I would actually consider it as a club that replaces the 5 wood, which was a club that for many a year sat in players bags. The one shot this video misses out is the shot out of light rough. It is handy off tee and fairway, but can be that club to play from first cut a light to medium rough. When you think about early golf courses and that they were not the manicured lawns we see today, its easy to see why the early hickory example of this club evolved, and why when courses became manicured, they disappeared from bags and were forgotten about. Its only they have a new name for this new millennium.
