Hi from Ol Blighty, Alex. Great video, thank you. I love my 4 hybrid. Please keep up the great content for 2023, it's really appreciated.
Thanks, will do! 🇬🇧⛳️🏌️♂️
This is the BEST instruction on how to hit hybrids that I've ever seen! Thank you.
Delighted to hear that sir! Hope it helps 🏌️♂️💪
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I'm 75 years old, and just switched to a full progressive hybrid iron set. This will really help me make some slight adjustments. Thanks!
Great video, @ 5:15 thats the key for me, yes I'm amazed at the distance I'm getting with confidence again thank you 😊
I'm 63 and my hybrid 21 degree (Dunlop Utility) is my favorite club. Very forgiving.
It’s great to have a trusted weapon
Great explanation, thanks for the instruction.
Even older golfer here. Moved from irons to hybrids years ago. Now moved from hybrids to fairway woods. Even better strike consistency, ball flight and distance. Happy old golfer!
Agreed, and nothing like a 7-wood!
Brilliant video and very easily explained. Thank you Alex.
My pleasure! 🏌️♂️⛳️
Best video I’ve seen on hitting hybrids. Thanks Alex!
Glad you enjoyed it and let us know how it goes after implementing 💪🏌️♂️👍
Your instruction is hands down the best in the business!!!
Happy New Year
Too kind but thank you! Happy new year!
Thanks Alex for showing me the mistakes I have been making with the Hybrid clubs, I am very inconsistant hitting them so I get flustered & leave them in the bag. This video is really going to help me with my Hybrids.
Happy to help and let us know how it goes
Great tips to try. thx
You bet!
Great video and instructions Thanks and Happy New Year
I appreciate that and right back at you!
Watched golf tutorials for years, and literally just watched yours for the first time today,,,incredibly simple and to the point, with a non condescending delivery,,wish I’d found your channel a few years ago
Glad to help but very happy you’re with us now! Welcome 🏌️♂️👍
Great teaching Clip,I am older and Love hybrids
Excellent!
Great tips mate thanks
No problem 👍
Thank you for this tip . At 74 yrs old I only have 6I down. The other clubs are hybrids and Fairway woods. This will certainly help me. Going out to play now.
Hope it helped! 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Hello from Canada and thanks for sharing with us your excellent hybrid video. 👍
Hi! thanks and glad you're with us
Great instruction...
Glad you liked it
Perfect timing with this video Alex, as I received a used Cobra Air X 3H yesterday and promptly went to the range.
Love this club.
Off to the range again today, and this video is coming along for the session as well.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos,thank you!!
That’s great! Hope you like it and I’m sure these simple tweaks will help get confident with it:) 🏌️♂️👍
man, so effortless!
Should always be a goal 🏌️♂️👍
Excellent tips. You introduced the idea of "pushing the grip down" with the left hand. Has helped tremendously. Sometimes I forget what to do after that push down. Just maintain the angle through contact as long as possible?
Glad it helped! And with all things you apply, test them and remember that how it “felt” at the start will evolve or seem less
Thanks!
You bet thank you! 🏌️♂️👍💪
Awesome tips. Love the 3 take aways. I loved hitting with my 21° and 27° hybrids, the crisps sounds at contact is sweet and the clubs are not feel heavy like the irons. I am gonna keep substitute by using my hybrids in place of those irons by adjusting club length/swings to the distance i wanted. So my bag would be simple, the driver, 2 hybrids, pw, sw and putter and maybe a 9. The rest of the irons are simply useless for me. 🤩
Well the ball or scorecard cares not for what club you hit. That’s all ego. 🏌️♂️💪
Im a fan of less clubs too. 3w, 5h, 7i, 9i, G, L, putter
Just love that you play Hogans. Had the BH - 5's (the wet season set), out for some on course practice yesterday. Can't wait for some sun to sharpen the blades! (Apex's). I don't get near the D you do but like to use the 21* VIKTR from about 225 out. Love the hit and flight of that club. Thanks for another great vid!
They are great clubs. Shame they went out of business but I’m with #PXG now and love them!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf where are your Hogan's? 🤨😉 I bought a PXG 2 DI a while ago, got to hit it twice before it got stolen!
This is helpful - the left foot flared out - I tend to push my balls low and to the left in the fairway. I'll try this approach on the driving range when it warms up.
Also check ball position is not too far forward. Rest being farther back
Nice tips
Thanks Lenard 👍🏌️♂️
Great 🎥🎥🎥💯💯💯⛳⛳⛳👍👍👍 Les from Perth WA 👀👀👀
Many thanks!
I am gonna replace my hybrid with a 3+ Hywood by Cleveland. My 3 wood stays, and my 4i is my favorite club. Just need a tweener.
Hey Alex. What should the weight distribution be at setup
My entire set of clubs (3 thru PW) are hybrids. Should I use the same ball position as you showed for all the clubs? Right now, I usually put the ball position in the middle of my stance and I usually hit the right distance, but struggle with the ball going right or left...not consistently straight at all.
Great
👍
Excellent thoughts... I struggle with the hybrids but want to make them a go to club. I'll try implementing these tips at my next range session.
Great and let us know how you get on!
hi i have balance issues because of neuropathy. trying to get back to golf after 10 years, are there any exercises for my feet specially for the follow thru so I do my weight shift(from right to left) and left my right heel
Great tutorial as usual! Great reminder to swing easily and let the club do the work. If I could just ingrain that swing thought….
You can and will… we all need our baseline reminders. 🏌️♂️👍
Something you said here resonated with me. You said that the hybrid swing is fairly level so therefore the clubface and hands should impact the ball at about the same time. Does that mean that the iron swing which is hitting down a bit imply that the hands win the race to the ball (forward shaft lean) and the driver swing which is hitting up indicate that the clubface wins the race to the ball?
Yes that is something that can help to a certain point. Can over do it though.
This is such a great video. I’m telling you, the fallacy of the hybrid club with older golfers is just that, a fallacy. They are for all ages. 3 tips. Swing within yourself, let the weight of the club do the work. Eyes down don’t move your head.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Hybrid clubs can definitely be a game-changer for golfers of all ages.
Watching these pros I’m sure they could play blind and still hit a perfect shot.!
Not always lol
Hi Alex, I am a new-be to your channel and I have found your tutorials very enlightening. I am a senior golfer (arthritic and a bit plump) with a slow swing speed. My question is, I have bought a set of Stealth Hybrids from a 3 down to a 7, would all of the ball placements be just behind my left heel or in the same position as using an iron?
Hi, depends on the angle of attack… but i would say play it a ball forward from normal ball position.
If you tend to hit down on the ball all the time, it's fine to play at stock ball position. Test it 👍
Love my hybrids. Very predictable and great distances.
They are a great weapon for many !
very helpful! My hybrid is my least comfortable club. I would love to reverse that and make it my go-to!
I’m glad to hear it resonated with you and once you get a wee bit of confidence, it goes up from there 🏌️♂️💪
I play 2-9 in hybrids, lee Trevino said amateurs should keep moving the ball back in their stance until they find their ball position. I’m in my 60s and now back to shooting low rounds.
My maytag stops after the wash cycle...the green light for rinse cycle is lit but the red light is off. If I push the Starr button it goes back to the beginning... I can put it manually onto the rinse cycle and it will continue and finish the washing...any idea what I can do...
I’ve lost a lot of swing speed from age and bad back. Would this concept work with a set of hybrid irons as well? Thanks!
Yes, absolutely but adjust ball position as you go down
I have had much more success with the bottom of the arc target side, much more like a long iron. I started out like this and struggled for years. It may be because I am younger and have enough clubhead speed. I feel I enjoy the forgiveness of a hybrid but no compromises for a long iron.
Sounds normal… just keep testing and keep at it!
Are you on a putting green or the fairway? If my ball sat up like that, I wouldn't need any pointers.
Does this include 6-7 hybrid great video
Yes indeed! Thanks 🏌️♂️👍
Excellent explanation! My highest iron is a 6 iron...the biggest takeaway from the video is not compressing the hybrids like an iron and the neutral setup as I am always trying for the shaft to lean forward and rotate through. I love my hybrids but I have to aim considerably right because the ball is going left with a hook. Maybe this is the tip I needed to straighten them out. I don't have this tendency with irons or fairway woods and I have gotten use to aiming hybrids right.
Well said and thanks for your insights too. Cheers 👍🏌️♂️
Alex please help me master the swing plane 🙏🙏
We have some lessons on it and more to come 👍🏌️♂️
I tried this and hit all my hybrids and Fairway woods much better with a higher ball flight
Delighted to hear that!
AHAH moment. It took me ten years to learn / discover this and I'm giving it to your channel because it belongs there: arms should be vertical at address. This is a recipe for consistency and power. What is on a vertical axis will travel and come back on a vertical axis. Less moving parts. I don't know if you have already addressed this.
Best wishes.
This sounds pretty good to me and in keeping with the “swing the circle” I like students to visualize
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf And gravity on a vertical axis gives you effortless / more power.
@@stevenewtons7873 yes indeed. 💪🏌️♂️⛳️

Great video, but it is difficult to see your club position through the wording on the screen. Suggest moving your wording to some other area of the screen.
thanks Alex , BUT theres one MODERN day question on hybrids that NEVER gets dealt with . I at 63 NOW have a FULL bag of HYBRIDS , ALL on line videos show us and demonstrate where to POSITION the ball for your STANDARD HYBRID/RESCUE CLUB , ie 4 AND 5 hybrid etc , but i 100 per cent need to KNOW where i position the ball for my LOB , SAND, GAP, AND PITCHING wedge HYBRIDS , ALSO my 5 , 6 ,7 , 8 ,9, HYBRIDS . Should i leave it at ONE HYBRID HEAD WIDTH , BACK from my left heel AS YOUVE INDICATED IN this VIDEO , or further back in my stance , please advise as im confused , and please PLEASE could YOU MAKE A NEW video SHOWING HOW TO STRIKE AND BALL POSITION when hitting HYBRID... WEDGES... , all we get at the moment , is the long distance HYBRIDS . THANKS
Hi Graham, thanks for the feedback and I will endeavor to see how well the info could be portrayed in one lesson. We do have an entire program on hybrids and fairway woods that’s in our membership. But may well make that available for individual purchase soon.
In the mean time, it’s hard to give you precise info without knowing how the shorter ones fly, are you getting enough height?
What happens if you move them back in stance? Do they go too low?
Are you trying to lift them up too much? A slightly descending blow should impart more backspin this more height and stopping power.
So try moving them back. If that feels strange and strike is still off, you may well be leaning back too much. Get more weight (65%) on front leg at set up.
Test that out. 👍🏌️♂️
What is the ballposition for 678 hybrid?
1 club inside leaf heel
Is this the same for a 3 wood?
Pretty much. Little more sweep with those. But depends on your swing speed etc
Making things simple has always been rewarding in any kind of activity or sport. No exception here in golf. Juste like you I can use my 4-iron rather efficiently but now that I have bought a 4-hybrid I no longer carry its iron competitor in my bag. Why the latter would give me an edge in any circumstances?
More forgiving and bit easier with various lies and light rough too. That’s an advantage over irons
I hope the coldest weather is over for now?
Yes it’s gone thankfully! We were luckier than many.
Did you carry a 4i 241 yards? That's considerably longer than virtually every tour pro.
I’ve always been fortunate enough with distance :)
What is the brand name and number of this hybrid?
This was a Ben hogan 18 deg I believe
Is this the same for 3 Wood
Yes indeed
Please remove the CC cannot see what you are doing and it is very distracting.
It’s a setting on your UA-cam. Unless you mean the pop up graphics
Adam Scott is not as helpful and engaging as you Alex.
Well I’d like to pick his brains anyway lol:)
Disagree they are not more forgiving.
👍🏌️♂️ not for everyone
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I should have said not for me.
Great info. I’ve been struggling to hit my hybrid with consistency, I’m sure this will help the process. Thanks! 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Glad it was helpful! 🏌️♂️👍⛳️
