ok why do i call it a rescue lever again because it really does get you out of all kinds of trouble situations like that hello guys i'm Michelle welcome back to golf channel with Michelle today i'm going to be talking about my favorite ball One of the shafts is a hybrid. Hybrid is between fairway woods and long irons. It has a wider sole and it helps you hit the ball more solidly and it hits the ball better. I think it's a replacement for the long irons. A great option for the ok, the hybrids come in different lofts and different lengths some people like the 5th hybrid, the 4th hybrid, and the 3rd hybrid the 3rd hybrid has a lower loft and the 5th Hybrid has more loft right than irons it has a wider sole and it has a face like a fairway wood why I think hybrids are a great alternative to long irons because number one Lack of speed we don't have to accelerate to the speed of a PGA Tour player so if you lack speed you have a hard time starting the long irons The second reason is the lack of confidence beat so i think you should go for a hybrid because it prevents your club from digging into the ground and making a slam or even a thin shot a lot of people ask me if i should hit a hybrid like a long iron or a fairway wood Do I don't think there is a single correct answer In general if you hit a shorter hybrid you should hit like a long iron if you hit a longer hybrid like a 3 hybrid you should hit like Fairway woods hit like that but you have to find a way to grab the ball solidly and let you hit a good distance now let me show you how to use this club ok let me talk about hitting with a hybrid The technical content of the ball First of all, the swing is the same, can we just swing it like a long wood I just talk about the ball position and the setting we try not to dig up a big chunk of turf we just try to brush And then sometimes we might dig up a little bit of turf but not as much as with the irons, okay? First of all, the ball will be about two ball widths from the middle.
I think the stance is the same as using the long irons. The stance is about the same, okay? Everything is the same grip and position, okay? Just make sure you're not hitting the ball down Try not to hit the ball down because the wider sole will help you brush over the ground , ok so just make sure you stay relaxed and swing through ok let me show you if you hit a ball in the grass with a hybrid you might think you've hit a good shot on the fairway The ball flies past all your friends but it turned out like this , first of all don't get mad when our ball lands on the grass we have the hybrid to help us can you if you need to hit a 5 like yours The distance you can hit the irons or longer irons I recommend you use a hybrid Is it ok to hit the ball in the grass first, please make sure the ball is more in the middle because we want to make sure we catch the ball first because we want to slide down and then hit the ball because it is in the grass so the ball is in the middle That would be helpful, okay? A normal grip is good in the middle of the stance , make sure you 're swinging smoothly because we might dig a bit of grass and let's hit the fairway bunker with a hybrid.
When our ball will fall into the fairway bunker ok when we are in the fairway bunker it is important that we take a look at the situation around us first the sides of the bunker are not that high and i need to let the ball land about 180 meters So today I'm going to use a hybrid. Also, let's talk about a little bit of skill in hitting a ball in a fairway bunker with a hybrid. First of all, the ball needs to be in the middle because again, it's very important that we catch the ball first. , can you? in fairway bunkers i want everyone's grip position down about an inch because we have to make sure we don't dig up too much sand, understand? we want to catch the ball as cleanly as possible so so It's a little bit down and a little bit in the middle of the ball.
Make sure you stand higher, okay? Also, we're going to stand higher because we don't want the club to dig into the ground. You'll feel like you're catching the ball cleanly. Yes, can you? I want everyone's gravity to be a little bit to the left because we don't want to rock your body because it can be dangerous if your body is rocking in a sandpit, so make sure your body is stable and balanced and your hips are slightly tilted Left side and keep it there for as long as you can make sure you swing by not hitting the ball hard let me show you how to hit the rough with a hybrid you have very thick rough I recommend using a club to get your ball back into the fairway first don't get yourself stuck in this but if you are in a situation where you feel you need to use a long iron I would recommend Hybrid also because the sole of the head is wider it will help you brush better over the grass because sometimes we even get stuck on the back of the ball with the long irons and the ball doesn't get hit anywhere else right Most of the time we're in the rough , we're not on the level, right? If the ball is under your feet I would recommend that you hold the club normally and then if the ball is over your feet just make sure the grip is down a little bit , can you so the ball is in the middle likewise we want to catch the ball first can you catch the ball first it is really important and we don't lean our body like we do in the fairway I want you to be like Set up the stance like you do with the long irons, can you make sure you don't stop during the swing, can you? The more relaxed you are, the easier it will be for you to swing through .
Stuck right just make sure you swing by staying relaxed and trusting it let me show you how to use the hybrid Rescue the ball under the tree ok why do I call it a rescue pole again because it does get you out of all sorts of trouble situations like this and I'm about 180 meters from the flag pole the green is somewhere on the right Position but I have to make sure I get out of this first as you can see there are some trees in front of me I have to make sure the ball stays low is it ok so sometimes if I choose to use the long irons I try to hit harder The ball then pops out and hits the tree in front of me again I think the hybrid is a good club to work with so how do we hit the ball first just make sure the ball is more to the right Means it's not in the center because I want the ball to stay on a lower trajectory I'll put the ball a little bit to the right maybe about a ball width from the center, understand the ball to the right of the center because we don't want it to go back Too much because the club is very long, right make sure the ball is about a ball width to the right of the center I want you guys to hold the club down a little bit just take a small swing and a small swing already allows you to hit longer distances So make sure you don't hit the full swing because the full swing is going to be a quick hit and the trajectory of the ball might be going up, understand I'm going to keep the ball low I'm going to make sure I'm swinging smoothly and not hitting the ball down because If I hit the ball down it still bounces, see ok, look at this shot I just have to make sure that first, I keep the trajectory of the ball low I have a slope in front of me and I imagine the ball will go over the slope and let It's rolling if it's really like that, it can go to the green I'm going to try to hit the ball and hit the par again, Bogey's score is not bad, make sure the ball is slightly to the right when setting up the stance Offset a ball width to the right to make sure you put gravity on the left side because we want the ball to stay low and swing smoothly, don't hit the ball hard because it may bounce up and swing smoothly, trust it to fall exactly where I want it to be.
Where it goes I really think that a hybrid can do wonders on a golf course If you guys are considering getting it I would absolutely agree with you doing it I hope you all enjoyed this video If you like this video please give it a thumbs up I click like please leave me a comment and tell me what else you have when you choose to use the hybrid rod Of course, remember to subscribe to my channel I will see you in the next video thank you very much.
