[@fraserlawson8522]

Another great video. Thanks. I recently traded my 1980s blades for some "modern" clubs. Only went down to 5 iron (blades had a 2 iron), so I bought a hybrid to fill the gap at the low end........my word....it launches like a 9 iron and flys like a 4 iron. WOW. What I've been missing all these years. 😂

It’s crazy isn’t it! It’s really like cheating 😂

After watching your video on hitting the 3 wood and having great success with it now I watched this video several times then went to the driving range and worked on my Hybrid and now I am hitting that club with great success on the course. I am now very comfortable and confident using it whenever I need to and my game has greatly improved since seeing those two videos, thanks for putting out great easy to understand tips.

[@johnschwartz1536]

Great job Giles on explaining how to hit a hybrid! As an experienced golfer, I just don't have the clubhead speed any longer to successfully launch a 3 or 4 iron, so I have transitioned over the the hybrid. I now carry a 3, 4, and 5 hybrid and I love them. I'm able to get a higher launch angle and they're definitely a "go to" club on long trouble shots. I even use them like a putter when confronted with a short of the green type shot. Always learning from your video's Giles! Keep up the good work!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Exactly that! Don’t fight it by trying to play long irons but instead do what you did which is to put user friendly clubs in the bag

[@willfish4462]

Great. I use the 3 hybrid all the time, and you have shown me a couple of good tips which might improve my contact and distance. thanks

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing! I hope that these do translates to more distance for you

[@jayring77]

Love the break down on the stance and key swing thoughts. Biomarkers we can use on the course and in practice are really useful. Would love to see a tutorial on 9 vs P for shots just outside A.

[@Handles508]

My 4 iron is my go to club. I use it off the tee when Im struggling with driver. I use it from the fairway for most shots over 160 yards. I feel more comfortable taking something off my 4 iron than I do clubbing down. Its also my punch out club when I need to hit a low runner. I would be lost without it.

Good lesson - filled in some gaps in my understanding of how to hit this club. I need it! What would you say about the lie? I think that in a rough you need to defer to the iron so you can "dig it out" of deeper grass. I handle my 3 iron that way. What do you think?

[@hillbilly4christ638]

A lot of golf is a racket. There is literal snake oil being sold everywhere. There is no substitute for practice. How can you practice the most? If I would have had a simulator in the seventies, I would have used it constantly. Sure, it doesn’t replace actual play but the technology is growing and the information is critical. I used to practice in the yard with plastic balls. No lessons, just hours and hours of swinging the clubs. I had my own little courses laid out and I would compete with different balls. I went from no experience to shooting par golf in high school freshman year. Calvin Peete had a broken arm and taught himself how to swing. He was one of the most accurate players ever.

The Ping G430 hybrids have helped my lower my Handicap to a single digit

[@rw_golf6387]

Regarding tempo, should I swing harder than say a 6 or 7 iron?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

You will naturally do that yes

[@mondotv4216]

I actually strike my hybrid pretty well but for some reason I have a real problem placing the club behind the ball. It's only the hybrid that does this but for me it wants to sit closed at address. I have to consciously adjust it to square and then fight the tendency to close it again. I don't know if it's the balance or just psychological.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Might be how the hybrid is setup. Is it a modern one or old one?

[@mondotv4216]

@@Gilesgillgolf About 8 years old - it's a Nike 3 hybrid so that dates it a bit as they don't even make golf clubs anymore more - I hit it around 200 - 220yds depending on the strike. But then I'm 65 years old so that's OK.

[@davidthomson7815]

Giles There is also an opinion that sweeping the ground rather than a down ward stroke id effective. Any view on this?🙂

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s a wrong opinion 😂 Every great player hits down around -1 to -4 degrees with fairway woods and hybrids. The facts don’t lie

[@robinwilson8939]

Just a question: during a round, are you allowed to practice swing hitting something on the ground (a tee, a stick, a piece of trash, etc.)? The little trick with the tee brought this to mind... Before you hit your shot, can you throw a tee on the ground and take a practice swing (or two) before you actually address the ball and take the shot?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes you are, can’t throw a tee down but if it’s down already then you can

[@golfrichardvc]

Great tutorial, but what about hitting a hybrid off the tee please or did I miss that ?

Hi Giles Where is the ball position with hybrid 3 when playing a ball below feet

When you get into a bad lie hybrids are still great for getting it out. Ball back slight, hands and weight forwards and hit down on it a little more

[@davidsprygada4550]

I too play on a course that has significant thin grass areas with hard hard hard dirt underneath. If I was the tiniest bit heavy the blades that I used it would STOP going through the ground and the ball. With hybrids the club may bounce slightly but it still gets 90% of the distance. FWIW.

[@Drycleanerguy]

I gave up golf 20 years ago, and when I came back, everyone told me "dump your long irons! get a hybrid!". I tried, but a hybrid was a total fail for me, because the heavy swing weight caused the the clubhead to get ahead of my hands. On most shots I hit them fat or thin, but those were better than the ones where I made good contact. If I made good contact, the shots went low, left, and also hooked, leading to disastrous outcomes. I finally gave up on hybrids, and I now 5 iron, 3 iron, and a 7 wood, and they all have comparable swing weights. I hit them all high and straight, and feel confident that I can hit a good shot with any of them.

The Hybrid does nothing but frustrate me, it's ahook machine the way I swing it. Mark O'Meara looked at my swing and said I'm releasing the club too soon, causing that hook.

Tee drill …Mega

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you!

[@vintageswiss9096]

Here i am with my 4i as my most consistent iron... and can't hit a hybrid to save my life... lol... 😂

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Do what works

[@flimflama9333]

So I can't hit my long irons, but i should swing my hybrid the same as i swing my long irons? Haha

[@Gilesgillgolf]

The technology in the hybrid makes them easier to hit. If you can’t hit any long club then grab a lesson with a good pro

[@flimflama9333]

@@Gilesgillgolf somehow I can hit my driver pretty well 😂

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@flimflama9333 but that’s a slightly different technique as you have to hit up on the ball

[@johnnorth9514]

Abandoned hybrid 2 years ago, the worst club in my bag by a wide margin.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hope this helps get your confidence back

You might be the only one in the world

[@johnnorth9514]

Thanks, my problem is that I can’t control the height of the club head at the bottom of the arc. Thus 95% fat or thin (sometimes just touching the top of the ball) and most of the remaining 5% have no elevation at all. Very frustrating.

I prefer the irons rather than the hybrids.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Nice, a lot of people do

[@pelnarius2446]

I don't hate the 4 iron cause its hard to get speed. I hate it cause it would rather hit the earth's core than the goddamn ball rofl.
