LONG IRON SWING vs HYBRID SWING (what is the difference?)

[@anthonyperrin3411]

I'll say it again. This lad is one of, if not, the best instructors on the circuit. Explained so simply and minimal things to remember. Very very good. Tony Perrin.

[@JKMGolf]

Thanks so much

[@briandurkin35]

@@JKMGolf I agree 100%

[@lordservant1]

Totally agree !

[@LorneHatchard]

Literally spent 3buckets at the range learning this because I was topping consistently! So nice to see this , only one on YT realistically telling you what move it forward in your stance should and shouldn't be! Thanks!

[@McV1llaiN]

Highly agree!!!

[@Yodumeee]

Just piling on the back slappers. You explain things sooo well. Thank you

[@reddemunn]

Jkm is the best, most detailed coach on yt.

[@franciscotorne2608]

I like the way you explain everything; keep up the good job, doing great!!!!

[@Duck_OG]

Late to the party but great info JKM. I have the opposite issue where my long irons are fairly solid but struggle with the 3 hybrid (overall contact and inconsistent ball path). Your tip with trying to still hit down on the hybrids and allowing the anatomy of the club face do the work is spot on.

[@mariad750]

Love this channel! No gimmicks and just pure, simple and accurate information and instruction. Keep up the great videos.

[@ronmicallef5706]

I worked as a technical trainer for many years. Johnathan you have a great talent to explain a procedure in detail and maintain audience attention for the duration.You should come over to Australia we have heaps of grass for you to produce divots.Thankyou Ron

[@mhp1298]

Thank you...was looking for a video like this. SOLID AND VERY THOROUGH!!!!!

[@janetbarnett1986]

Thank you so much!!! I think your video on the three wood and this video on the hybrid are two of the best videos I have ever watched. I probably watch 10 hours a week or more of golf videos. I am a lady golfer (68) and I am getting better every year. I usually score low 80's and periodically high 70's. Thank you again!!!

[@JKMGolf]

Wow that is a great score 👍 thanks so much

[@phillipismay3585]

Thnks Jones, my 1st vid I've seen of yours, Brilliant mate, great work very clear especially for me with Hybrids. I'm 62yrs, I only use 7i 9i pw sw putter an 4 x Hybrids, 3 wood big Bertha titanium 25yrs old...smash it. Cheers

[@chriswhite9029]

Oh I need this. I never knew that the ball position for both should be a half ball forward from a 7-iron. Again thank you Jonathan.

[@skithewhitestuff]

Great instruction. Thanks so much Jonathan

[@denachea7533]

Your tip’s definitely work!!

[@TanNguyen-tv4lg]

Great tips, thanks

[@dudleymichaelgalant9250]

I will second that , his teaching is very easy on the brain specially at my age 65 I don't need over technical instruction

[@tomkurt5601]

Jonathan great job! I agree with Anthony. You really helped me with earlier videos. Specifically the grip. I watch videos on golf all the time and know the instructors on KZbin and they need to look out for you! Clear and concise. The instructions work. No long delay in getting to the key message. Good for you Jonathan.

[@lawrencelee844]

Great explanation!

[@pault7135]

And another one! Thanks JKM.

[@albertcastillo4535]

Great Knowledge of the swing !! Keep it up JKM !!

[@Iversonwings1]

Thank you for this info.

[@retired8123]

Great lesson! love the channel...I have a habit of picking my irons clean off the turf ( I need to force myself to take a divot )...I get a lot more consistent distance and stronger ball flight with my 5 hybrid ...it is so much easier to hit my 175 to 180 target. I will use the same advice for long irons as my 6iron (hit down a bit to take a divot) because sometimes it goes the same distance as my 7iron with the way I hit it currently...I need to constantly remind myself that hitting down lets the club hit the sweet spot of the club instead of the bottom of the club.

[@swisstrader]

Great insights!!

[@vincelucas5722]

Always great and helpful videos.

[@MrKillahippo]

well said, JKM ,anything off the deck is down on the ball,, Watching the Pro's do it with the driver off the deck too.

[@Mav...]

Good advice

[@herculem5474]

Hi, Jonathan, Thanks for your vidéos that help me a lot. Will you be so kind to show us the most important moves in slow motion. Many thanks

[@thomasphelps5702]

That was very good I enjoyed that

[@brianmelbourne6842]

Enjoyed those tips how fast was your club head speed, and at what speed should you give up on the 3 iron thanks

[@JKMGolf]

My driver club speed is 120-123 on average. I think if your speed is not high enough to hit your 7iron at least 160 yards then it will be difficult to get a 3 iron in the air enough

[@joeidaho5938]

I just completed my first year of golf, in the past week....and yes, my biggest problem with with long irons and hybrid or 7 wood. For some reason, I have a mental block about hitting them....and tend to not come through the swing....as I do in my practice swing. Very frustrating....so doing my best to get through it. I seem to hit just fine with any wedge...down to about 7 or 8 iron. I'm thinking one of my issues....other than the mental part...is that I need to move the ball forward...and make sure I bring my trail shoulder down and through....while bringing the club inside on downswing.

[@seniorswing8441]

Best way to hit by them. Thnks!

[@gwendolynhenson2889]

Great explanation! Do you believe hybrids are helping amateurs in general? Have you considered to do a video comparing the use of a hybrid vs fairway woods? Hitting the 3 wood for example, is the most difficult for me. Thanks for the great videos!

[@JKMGolf]

I do believe hybrids help because the way it is designed helps launch the ball higher. The reason a 3-wood is difficult for most amateurs is because the lack of loft on the club. Unless you swing the club fast enough it will be difficult to launch the ball high enough to take advantage of the club. You may find your hybrid go further than your 3 wood at times and that is because the launch with the hybrid is higher

[@jeffbates5401]

Jonathan great video

[@zx7m3]

Is there any change in ball position or swing technique when hitting short iron hybrids (e.g. 7. 8, 9, PW)?

[@suivzmoi]

not many coaches out there actually know that all clubs off the deck should be swung with negative attack angle at contact..it's proven in the data of all the tour players. kudos for pointing that out. i just wanted to ask, as the title mentions iron vs hybrid swing; is there actually a difference in the swing?

[@seniorswing8441]

Hi, assume we have an invisible wall behind, when the left hip tilts down and turns, will the right hip break in that wall?

[@paullee9976]

Great detailed explanation Jonathan! I struggled with my 18 degree hibrid.. it tends to somewhat open at impact so the ball will fly straight 5 - 10 degree to the right. Ball position slightly forward at stand. Any suggestions?

[@jeremyespinoza279]

What mat do you use?

[@graychristoherdaly8077]

This instructor is outstanding! Since finding him few days ago, have not been able to stop watching. ❤

[@scottcook1734]

Do you have any tips for a person who constantly chunks long irons?

[@monrivera1083]

Does hitting down also apply to woods off the fairway?

[@richs915]

Which Golf Tec do you teach at?

[@JKMGolf]

Singapore

[@justinashlye]

I just noticed you have like no shaft lean in the club? Is there a reason for this?

[@ubb4me]

Should the 4 iron and 4 hybrid carry the same distance?

[@flippperboy]

Can you show us how to hit down lightly, medium and hard?

[@rickcudmore8156]

Do they not have outdoor driving ranges in Singapore?

[@JKMGolf]

They do but not off the grass and it’s been really hectic at the ranges so there isn’t much space to do filming. They even have restrictions where they block every other hitting bay so people don’t get too close.

[@richie8240]

5 iron comes-out far too low and barely further than my 6. Same loft hybrid is up and flying and almost doubles the distance gap from 7 to 6 and now from 6 to hybrid. Never try a 5 iron to the green - it will bounce right off the back. Hybrid descends down and holds. And the added advantage it is my go-to club under trees for a pop-out back into the fairway. No brainer!

[@vreeke777]

JKM why are you not on tour please give all this fantastic instructions for free to te world okay thanks you

[@iamakimmer]

is it okay to just not think about placement and put the ball in the middle for every club except driver?

[@OUY9999]

Ikut nyimaj terimakasih

[@shaggydogj]

Would a windy day influence your decision to put the 3-iron in your bag instead of the hybrid?

[@JKMGolf]

That is more personal preference and based on the individuals game. For me I use a 2 iron because a hybrid spins a lot and launches too high for me

[@markking3779]

👍👍👍

[@Yodumeee]

Mines the opposite I'm hitting down launching too high with to much spin. Losing yards lots and lots of yards :( Put it into perspective I sucked a 2 hybrid of the green the other day. Frustrating

[@marvintan8093]

Wait.. Did he just mentioned Singapore??

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

The main thing that changes is the swing plane.

[@MillTurn4Life]

Seen 15 seconds of this vid amd the best thing i did was take every iron above a 5 out of the bag.. idk why but i suck so bad with long irons im better having the 185 too 200 gap between the 5 and the 5 wood

[@carlor.s.4742]

I much prefer the three or four iron to hybrids. That clunky head of the hybrid seems to be off-putting to me for some weird reason.

[@henryyang3695]

Summary : using #3 hybrid other than 3 iron : )

[@Toaster-v1z]

When I think of trying to brush the ball off the deck with my hybrids it means doom.

[@Keboomrang]

which type of club do you want to send your ball into the woods? I tried both. I don't see any difference. I pissed off no matter the type of club.

[@tclaca]

you should include slow motion version of your swing so we can absorb what you are saying. Otherwise, just seeing your fast swing

[@shrimpflea]

Hybrids saved me from quitting the game.

[@ferdinandjarquio751]

just invest on a 7 wood... just saying...

[@juliennicolas5807]

Can you be my dad?

[@JKMGolf]

sure son lol

[@infriad]

Hi! I really like your content, but I could not disagree more with this videos message. I think it’s completely the opposite. A long iron is the safety zone, and I’m by no means a good long-ironplayer. I tend to hit all my clubs a bit thin. If I do that with a 3iron It just flies low and the carry and total distance is punished. With a hybrid though, there is always the change of topping the ball like 20 meters. I do have hybrid in the bag but every time I think of hitting it id rather go with 4-iron because I’m afraid of the topped shot that is so devastating for the score.

[@suivzmoi]

i suck at hybrids therefore this video is wrong

[@3spressoShot]

You can disagree but you are wrong. A miss hit on a hybrid will carry longer than a miss hit on an iron

[@infriad]

@@3spressoShot ofc they will! But that does not mean hybrids are easier to hit in general. Topping a longiron is far less likely than with a hybrid.

[@3spressoShot]

@@infriad yea but a fat or thin shot happens much more often than topping. And in that the hybrid rules. If you hit fat on a hybrid it will bounce off the ground and still make decent contact with a ball. A long iron will just become a shovel

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Your videos SEEM to be long .........

[@hemanthsn2837]

Great lesson 👍
