Use Your Hybrid Around the Green

LPGA Teacher, Elena King demonstrates how using your hybrid in your short game can save you shots.

When the ball is sitting down in the rough or against the collar when you are around the putting surface, using your hybrid is a good decision!

Why a hybrid is a great choice

  • The flat-bottomed sole will not get stuck in the grass like your putter or irons.
  • There is plenty of loft to get the ball in the air to get the ball rolling on line.
  • The ball comes off the club face fairly fast so you can use a smaller swing reducing the margin for error that you can get with a bigger swing.

Here’s how to set up with your hybrid around the green

  • Take a narrow stance and stand closer to the ball like a normal chip set up.
  • The ball position should be off the trail foot (away from the target).
  • Your weight or pressure should be on the lead foot (toward the target).
  • The grip should be a little forward of the club head.

The Stroke: Just like your putting motion

  • A small relaxed putting motion will do the trick, no need to try and help the ball up in the air.
  • The club head will not go above your knees.
  • Hold your finish in good balance for better contact and distance control!

By following these steps you can take what can be a very difficult troublesome shot and make it easy by using your hybrid.
