I've Saved A Ridiculous Amount Of Shots By Using My Hybrid SMARTLY

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*Hybrids are a MUST use 😊 get them out more often in these 3 key areas & when you do learn to strike them like this*

[@firstname2072]

No way, don’t suit me at all, can land my 3 iron soft as I get the ball really high, bought a g430 hybrid and sold it within 2 weeks lol

[@clut_]

Would you recommend I get a 4 or 5 hybrid? I have 1 and 3 wood

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video Alex on the effective use of the hybrid! A few years back, I ditched my long irons and switched to the hybrids. Now, I use them exclusively for trouble shots, medium length shots into the green, and as you demonstrated, a putter from off the green. They've saved me a lot of strokes since switching! Well Done Alex!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coobay4786]

I play 3 thru 7 hybrids. I started playing these about 6 years ago and my scores have never been lower. So much easier than hitting irons.

[@ETBob51]

Good video, Alex. This past winter I bought a complete hybrid set for senior golfers. I have a 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and PW. With your hints I have improved my game a lot. In the last few days I have been hitting them even better thanks to your video last week that showed to move the front foot back a small distance from the line. Our season here in South Dakota is coming to a close, but I will keep refreshing my memory this winter by re-watching your videos. Thanks so much.

[@die7fox]

The set of clubs I bought last month included a 4 and 5 hybrid. Hybrids didn't exist when I played golf 30 years ago, so I'm still working out how to use them. This video was very helpful! Already liking them better than my long irons, which were always a source of frustration for me.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah i prefer them to my irons too!

[@royclose946]

4 hybrid for me alex absolutely love it 😀

[@FXFBS23]

I recently began carrying a 3,4,5 hybrids. The 5 is a must have for me vs my 5 iron

[@coobay4786]

I play 3 thru 7 hybrid.

[@jimkelehan1366]

I ditched my hybrid and went to 7 & 9 woods. It was a good move, for me! I hit it just like you suggest Alex. This reinforces what I’m doing! Thx

[@kevinwalton6767]

I use a 6hy, 5hy & 4hy in place of my 5, 4 & 3 irons. I love them. So much better contact and control and I also use my 4hy like a putter from the short fringe areas around the greens.

[@andylawrence7955]

I bought one second hand recently, used it for the first time on Sunday, left my 3 & 5 woods at home! Worked a treat, loads more consistent contact and I bettered my best round by 8 shots! I even tried a cheeky bump and run from 20 odd yards away, again it worked!

[@richardgreen4209]

Will definitely use this today in my round⛳️ keep up the great work 👍

[@13noman1]

Thanks. I tossed my long irons, oh, must be 15 years ago now in favor of hybrids or "rescue" clubs and they're my absolute favorite. No question about using it for your #1 and #2; I knew about long chips but not the grip/swing tweaks (thanks!) -- I'll try that more!

[@bigdogpete43]

I added a 7 wood and a 4 and 5 hybrid a couple of years ago. I can't imagine playing without them now.

[@coobay4786]

I play 3 thru 7 hybrids and will never go back to irons.

[@mikeb.2643]

This is my first year learning golf. I have a 3h and 5h. I trust the straight flight of my 5h so much, I've started easing a smooth swing on par 3s anywhere from 130 to 160. I do hit down on the ball which causes the flight to be slightly lower and sometimes will not check up and roll to the back fringe, but for a high handicap like myself, it seems more forgiving on miss hits. I defiantly plan on trying a 7h next spring. 😄

[@paultheriault7229]

Love my hybrids. Replaced a 3 iron with 21', 4 with 24' and 5 with 27' I also have a 19' but i prefer my 15' 3 wood which I like to use off the tee on a few holes. Rarely use the the 3 wood in the fairway and will use the 21' or 24'

[@leftyduffer]

Great info, thanks! I'm recently coming around to hybrids, I have a 5H and 4H to replace my 5 & 6 iron (strong lofted irons). I'm a slow swing speed senior golfer so I tended toward fairway woods for the longer shaft but the hybrid cuts through the rough better. I'm going to experiment with chipping around the uphill greens. That could come in handy!

[@mikeszcz5264]

3-6 hybrids been using 6 hybrid fringe around greens making running up easier for me. 3 hybrid has become my favorite in fair way.

[@michaelmartino5100]

Nice explanation! Really good technique on the shots!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheEvilOneDK]

Good video. Have just changed my old Callaway Rouge 3 H and Callaway Maverick 4 H to some Callaways Paradym X 3H and 5H. Matchs perfect to my longest iron which is a 5 iron.

[@darnellt74]

I didn't know you could use a hybrid like that I have a areojet 4h I'm going to try some of these techniques thanks

[@kevinsevernak7523]

I have a full set of hybrids, from 4 to SW ... I don't use the PW or SW even though I can hit them, I just prefer the regular wedges ... I love the hybrids

[@Anvilarm07]

I have a 7 wood in my bag for years, and it is my rescue club from the rough and my confidence club. After watching this I plan to buy a 5 hybrid wood. I also dumped my 3 wood for a 3 hybrid.

[@iantraynor2006]

Great video

[@grandpagolf]

I own 3, 4 and 5 hybrids. From time to time I swap my 4 and 5 irons for my 4 or 5 hybrids, depending on the course, conditions and period of year. I keep the 3 hybrid anytime in my bag since I no longer own or use a 3 iron.

[@tpw13]

I use a 3 hybrid and I ended up just taking the 3 wood out of the bag because the 3 hybrid was so much more consistent and almost just as long.. I also use a 5 hybrid for when it's a bit too short for the 3 but i'm not feeling confident with the longer irons.. Srixon Z 355 3 hybrid it has a nice big head, and a taylormade jetspeed 5 hybrid. Still prefer a 7 or 8 iron for chip and runs though.. nice video

[@ronj9460]

Thank you Alex 😅

[@kenbrown2808]

I've got a 3 hybrid in the bag, and considering replacing my 5 wood with one, as well.

[@pinseeker87]

Great video! Where are you placing the ball on your stance for the long chip with hybrid? Fairly central? Thanks

[@maxsmart8954]

I became more consistent with my hybrids when I moved the ball back slightly. More towards my bottom point for my irons. I was to far forward towards my fairway wood bottom point ball position.

[@jackwest5295]

Love my Ping G430 5 hy /26. and G430 Hy 4./22 changed everything.. still like the g430 9 wood / @25. for making higher shots..

[@Synfulz]

I have a 3 and 6 hybrid. My go to clubs.

[@berylwright3301]

absolutely fantastic

[@audreymurray4375]

I will take them out of the bag and try this thank you 21 degree #4 18 degree #3.

[@jjflash1645]

I’m playing tomorrow (if it doesn’t rain) and will definitely try this.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I hope you get out!!

[@alancarter6624]

It’s worth a try - my Wazaki will become even more useful!

[@michaelfogg4267]

I use a 3,4,5 hybrid I love my 3 hybrid for my second shot on long par 5s

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

From previous "hybrid videos" it appears for your hybrid you go with the One Length models. Do these blend with a variable length set of irons?

[@johnletters7081]

Great video

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you John :D

[@chillin-in-chi-town]

What hybrid are you using or recommend for the chipping around the green you showed. I have 3,4,5 hybrids. I'm thinking 5H is the what you would use around the green. I've used my irons a lot around the greens but will try the hybrid for longer greens.

[@timloyd3532]

What is proper ball position with hybrid and where should one focus off the deck and off tee? Hit down or slightly up?

[@Jlittle523]

Nailed the green from about 250 with an 18* hybrid last week. I also carry a 21* at +1.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love to hear that

[@Jlittle523]

@@AlexElliottGolf a lot of your mini lessons have been used by me. One big change I noticed is narrowing my driver stance. It has helped with accuracy and I have not lost any distance.

[@emcrossley157]

`GREAT video

[@Dexterityracing0311]

Love my 3 hybrid and my 5 wood

[@telecaster428]

I have a Cleveland Mashie 4 Hybrid ⛳

[@matthines4748]

My 5 Hybrid is my favorite club. I prefer it on Par 3.

[@mem30075]

Use 3H instead of driver on tighter fairways and some par 4s. Use a 4H/5H when the distance makes sense. They do help shave strokes. Rarely use my 4/5 iron now. Actually, have a Cobra hybrid iron set that I play with occasionally and anticipate moving to that when older. Still love my M2 irons.

[@iantraynor2006]

I use 2,4,7 hybrid love my 4 hybrid

[@ericehrnsberger8298]

Alex, you must have heard me telling my buddy last Saturday I'm going to replace my 4 and 5 irons with hybrids lol. Am I correct thinking on the fairway contact point is at the ball and in the rough its behind and through the ball?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Haha, good to hear! And yeah that is correct 🙌🏼

[@JR-hy2mq]

I use a 5h, 7w, 5w. I am thinking about switching my 6i for a 6h

[@thefallenmonk605]

only playing for 2 years i love my 4h and 5h.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes love them too

[@richgarey6079]

Alex - great videos but you need to stop referring to the ground side of the clock as 12:00. It is for you looking down on it but from our perspective it’s 6:00 and the top, near you, is 12:00. Very confusing for us when you reverse it.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thanks for the info! i will take this into account thank you

[@philipmuniz1056]

I have a five and 3 Hybrid

[@Nitrox4me]

I didn't see you use a tee from the box... did you? I love my hybrids! I don't use them in deep rough, though. I know... I shouldn't be in deep rough, right?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah i wouldn’t say deep rough no, and yeah you can use from tees i used them on the long par 3

[@jessiemorton4219]

How about the one through the six I’m 80 years old and I still play pretty good!!

[@garyfarmer5855]

Also, set it up with the nose of the club , so.when you swing it will hit the center of the club

[@warmenhj]

Why a lot of words? I learn more by upfront video so I can see the stand and approach angle towards the ball.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

What do you mean sorry?

[@warmenhj]

@@AlexElliottGolf I mean, that a lot of words are being used and the position is better if you make the video up front instead of from a right side behind angle. A clear stand and position of arms etc tells me more and simplifies the explanation.

As i have said before on your channel Alex that club is a cheat machine one of the easiest clubs you will you to hit a ball with you want to try to sell the idea of buying this club 😂
