Peter Finch in focus mode in the backgroud -.- hahah Great video Rick?
It also depends on how/when a Golfer releases the club. I, personally, have
a late release, and that can result in the effective loft being reduced, so
I struggle with low lofted fairways/hybrids. But a 22* hybrid for example,
actually comes out like an 18* hybrid in terms of both ball flight and
distance. Same happens with a fairway wood. I can’t hit a 15* 3 wood,
because my effective loft at impact is more like 10-11*, but going up to
18*-19* in a fairway, has a ball flight more akin to a 15* 3 wood, and
therefore distance is comparable too. It works for me, so it’s important to
diagnose how and when a golfer releases the club too, and whether a clubs’
effective loft is affected at impact.?
Rick, what if your right eye, right arm dominate??
How To Hit Hybrid Clubs?
The first hybrid clubs I had were the ones that came with the first
generation Adams Idea A1 Hybrid irons. I really had to hit those the second
way you demonstrated there to get a good, decent, ball flight. I tried
hitting them like a wood when I first got them and it just didn’t work. I
tried moving the ball back in my stance with them one day and swinging them
like I would a 7 iron. The ball just seemed to jump off the club face. The
hybrids I have in my bag now I can hit either way. ?
My continuing bugbear with hybrids is that I feel that they are not
“direct” replacements for those difficult to hit long irons. I am 56
around 5ft 8in and of a slight build. I hit my 5 iron 170 yards. I would
expect that my 22 degree hybrid, which has the same loft as the 4 iron in
my set, to go around 183 yards. However, due to the fact they are easier
to hit and have longer shafts I often find I am hitting it around 195 which
leaves a big gap. I have to grip down and hit more gently to hit it around
180. This means that for routine 4 iron shots I have to change my
technique to get the desired distance. Not a big deal but something to be
aware of. ?
Great suggestion. I frequently struggle to find what is best, but i like
the idea of two approaches and sometimes give up and go to my 4 iron (which
is a MP-Fli Hi) versus my Adams 3 hybrid. I’m really happy I came across
this channel even more now. Great timing for me.?
Helpful direction, Rick. I’ve avoided hybrids as neither fish nor fowl
because of the varied and non-specific advice on hitting them. Might try a
3h, now.?
Glad you went back to this intro music. Much better.?
