Hybrid Clubs – What Are They And How To Use Them
What are Hybrids
Hybrids are a mixture of an iron and wood, combing various features of each into one result to substitute difficult-to-hit conventional irons like the 2 and 3 irons. These new custom Hybrid Irons offer considerable reward over long-established irons and, as a consequence, have experienced inspiring growth in recent years throughout the golfing trade. Custom Hybrid irons provide the practicality of a fairway wood coupled with the precision of an iron, giving the less than standard golfer more airtime on long complicated fairways.
Hybrid Irons can be used on any lie where irons are used. The larger hollow head
distributes more weight to the perimeter and sole, with the sole being much wider
than an Iron, making the clubs much more merciful and solid feeling. The larger
top view with distinctive configuration indicator gives unusually more self-reliance than
a time-honoured Iron.
Hybrids move the centre of gravity lower and deeper for a higher launching option. The higher launch of the ball means added carry distance and additional control at landing point.. Custom hybrids have often been used on tee off, and also as popular chipping clubs on the green.

How to Use a Hybrid club
- The method for using Hybrid Irons are pretty simple to say the least;
- Position yourself in your customary stance, in front of the ball
- Now the variation in your swing, is that you swing to play the ball forward, the ball should be about 1’ to 2’ closer to your outward foot.
- Use a comfortable, almost loose grip when swinging a Hybrid club
- Avoid clenching the club, as this could take you off balance, enough to hit your ball at a incorrect angle.
- At the start of your back-swing, bring the club-head back leisurely, in a controlled manner.
- When you bring the club forward, you want to try and hit down on the ball, although with this technique, you are likely to see a small divits appearing.
- If you start to see large divits appearing after your shot, this probably means that you are coming down at too much of a downward angle.
- Your Hybrid club, if hit correctly should sweep under the ball, thus putting masses of air under the ball, therefore resulting in a high loft and a soft landing.
Hybrid clubs are being used by many tour pros these days, and offer an even wider prospect for game enhancement to players from with all kinds of handicaps Because the Hybrids are so much easier to hit, the long irons are starting to become redundant. The 2 iron and 3 irons are progressively being phased out. I whole-heartedly welcome this development because it means the manufactures are determined on improving this equipment, and I’m pretty hopeful that the best is yet to come..
The older players are raving about this new technology as it is literally adding years to their golfing life. The reason is that, they do not have to swing the club as hard to achieve the same distance as you would with a traditional iron.. For all the senior players, buying a full set of hybrids is highly recommended.
