The One Thing That Makes Hitting Your Hybrid Easy

[@maxsmart8954]

I played in a one club tournament last fall. You chose your own club. I chose my 30 degree bridge stone. I shot an 88. The guy who won shot 80 with a 6 iron. Learned for me I don’t need 14 clubs to enjoy the game. I carry 6 clubs. For me it takes over thinking out of the equation.

[@767driver]

Covering the ball with your chest another good visual.

[@robpriddy2419]

GREAT COACH. Keeps it simple but provides all the information and drills you need to entrain the correct techniques.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulterry7672]

Love your videos Clay but wish the written info was at top of screen because I want to see impact more clearly

[@elkgunner]

Yes, bending the left leg helps, but in your example, you don't mention pushing the left hip joint back away from the ball, nor do you mention the movement of the right knee into the correct position. I know these things because I learned them from your Paige Spiranac swing analysis video and it totally changed and fixed my swing. Simply pushing the left knee forward will not fix the issues.

[@timholsworth316]

This video lesson was made for me! Now I know what I’m doing and how to fix it!!! Whew! What a relief! The struggle has been real. Thank you Clay! Always well made content and easy to understand!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 👍

[@cameronloveless1751]

Such a great video. Watch the pros - a bent left knee into impact is so important, only straightening with that release point after the ball

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

I keep hitting hooks with my hybrid

[@benm9427]

Hi Clay - this looks like a great move and for me almost feels like it negates my tendency to lunge forward and go after the ball. How does one time this move though? Any drills?

[@NeilWoodSales]

Thank you Clay. Your videos are excellent. I hope this one helps my hybrid success. I'll hit hundreds of balls until I nail it with consistency.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Good luck, thanks for watching!

[@GrumpyGolf4]

I have a dreadful time with hybrids. I don't see them as easier to hit than a long iron. My 4H goes left and hooks from there...every time. It is very frustrating to the point that I want to put my 4i back in my bag.

[@patmcnall538]

Great

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

[@glenolzewski6714]

Great timing. I’ve been having problems with the hybrids. Will keep all of this in mind. Great video.

[@MarvinofMars]

2022 has been my first year fir really flushed hybrid shots. GIRs at 200 yards+ with a 4HYB. Many thanks for the efforts you made with key points.

Wow, fully logical and it explained why I hate my hybrid. Better late than never.. I am going to the range now.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad I could help!

[@guibox3]

My 3 and 5 hybrids are the worst club part of my game. This will help me I know!

[@andrewquinn6634]

Why do I hit a hybrid so much better than my 5 and 4 irons when it feels like the same swing?

[@JDDD33]

Because they are more forgiving through thr turf.

[@chadmace3355]

Clay - great video as always. moving toward hybrids for all clubs. Have you tried Eleven's hybrids? curious on your thoughts.

[@renej5774]

after experimenting a few months (i have time to practice once a week on the range, started golf this march) , and having played my first 18 holes on the course, i decided, for the moment, to make my 4 hybrid as the main club to swing of the majority of the Tee's on the course. Along comes youtube algorithm with another topspeed golf video, for exactly the topic i didnt even search for yet. Simply, awesome-

[@TopSpeedGolf]

We read your mind!! 😀Just kidding, but glad you liked it!

[@andrewquinn6634]

I hit my #3 hybrid great, but my #4 and #5 and same with 4 and 5 iron are lousy. I don't get it.

[@mickeylegalhawk6510]

I used that knee bend and it made a huge difference

[@JamesArseneau-j3x]

thinning? chunking? Advise avoiding golf jargon

[@TonyNeri-s3e]

if you use the stack and tilt method you have none of the problems described by Clay in playing hybrids

[@iiguns]

Finally someone explains what I do wrong perfectly!

[@billbigler1366]

Clay great lesson as always. My problem with hybrids is hooking them off the face of the earth. I think this is due to me being only 5'6" tall. With all hybrids I have had the toe sticks up me thinking hybrids off the shelf are made for taller people. My only solution to date is to open my stance and not swing as hard which cuts my distance. Any other suggestions to eliminate to duck hook? Thanks and keep up the great work. Bill.

[@HarryLivestream]

Hi Bill, try Callaway UD utility wood. Really nice and the only club which has the face open slightly at address (designed by P Michelson)

[@billbigler1366]

@@HarryLivestream thanks very much. Will try. I am excited about not hooking a hybrid! Cheers.

[@HarryLivestream]

@@billbigler1366 I’m a terrible hooker with all hybrids as they typically seem to be slightly closed. With this one so far not one 😀

[@Koboltgolf]

Slightly open stance and to make sure shoulders arent closed at impact helps me.

[@billbigler1366]

@@Koboltgolf thanks very much. I will try.

[@jamesbaine580]

It's called a reverse c and it would damage any swing with any clubs

[@dontwastemytime277]

All that to say: just hit it like a damn iron. Sometimes I feel like you try too hard just to make a video. 😜

[@ericleibee7050]

Hey Clay, your preview video for release of the club looked like you where at University Club in Lexington, KY. Do you offer lessons there occasionally?

[@Koboltgolf]

Thank you, makes total sense. Isnt this knee move the same with irons aswell?

[@jasonsabo3785]

not clear to me from the video if it is the same for irons. But great question.

[@scheuermann11]

don't we use that front leg knee action for all clubs ? , maybe minor modification for driver

[@markandrews4420]

Does this count for all hybrids?

[@lawrencedimartini2449]

Thank you ...Brilliant

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome!

[@gm_ahmed]

Can I do this for the driver, wood, 7iron??

[@jonq8714]

Why am I hooking the shit out of mine?

[@erichoward1731]

Thanks Coach Clay

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome!

[@grahamdodsworth6871]

Great video

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@alphacentauriproxima]

Great one, Clay.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hhbdr]

Looks easy.

[@angrypear]

Excellent as usual. Thank you!

[@drjcwardjr]

Mo Norman!

[@jamesbaine580]

The only problem with that is amateurs will now sway too much forward and their body will be way out ahead of their hands

[@mikeclaytor1739]

Good advice,and Coaching

[@jefferyzielke7665]

Clay, you had a tremendous offer for membership for the Top speed program. I saw the value and signed up. I started from the beginning, even though I thought some of it would be redundant. I started playing at the age of 22. I'm now 46. I've taken many, many lessons. I understand what you teach. To make a long story short, I have achieved a level of ball striking that I simply have a hard time believing. WITHOUT EFFORT! I am a legitimate 300 yards off the tee. Sometimes 340. The pressure to execute is real. Great moments are born of great opportunity. I have never had this much fun playing golf. Thanks to your program, I am starting to believe that I am that good. Going birdie, eagle, birdie, par isn't a fluke. (Actually missed another eagle put). Thank you so much. I went back into the vault this morning to watch drills where I see weaknesses. I will do the drills and I will have even more success. Thanks again. Thank you to the staff.

[@tomfinn6579]

One other tip I learned a few days ago that’s helped a lot is to swing with the more upright lie plane of an iron instead of the flatter lie of a wood

[@donniejimes4383]

Dude you gotta stop contradicting your self man. You just said for a hybrid position the ball in the middle of your stance like an iron and not forward like a driver or a 3 wood yet in the 3 wood video you say to position the ball in the center of your stance so which is it

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Save for a driver, the ball should be within three golf ball widths forward of the center of the stance. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@kanchanmandal2444]

I wonder why he keeps on showing some imaginary actions of tilting backwards so much and wasting viewers time.
