As ladies, we’ll normally not hit the ball with as a lot membership head velocity as our male golfer associates. As a result of they hit the ball with extra velocity they can even hit the ball larger. So WE want hybrids as these golf equipment will hit the ball larger and we are able to now land the ball on the inexperienced, over water and greenside bunkers and cease it!Hybrids are constructed with extra mass beneath the middle of the face. This undoubtedly helps. However when deciding on a hybrid, don’t forget to get a shaft that’s best for you. I discover that ladies want a softer tipped shaft (lighter) to assist get that ball larger.
My favourite arrange tip with the hybrid – play the membership head in the course of your stance. This can put the ball barely ahead in your stance!

It may be useful to contemplate your hybrid to be a pleasant lengthy iron with loft. Not solely do they assist launch the ball into the air, as a result of they don’t have a hosel (heel of the membership that causes shanks), they’re very forgiving.
As a result of your hybrid is successfully an iron you will need to arrange equally the place the membership place is comparatively centered in your stance. Additionally, like an iron you need to be sure that your membership hits the bottom sufficient to make a mark within the floor or a thump sound in order that the loft of the membership can get your golf ball into the air.
Be conscious to set your hybrid flat on it’s backside, the place the only of the membership sits flat on the bottom. This lofted membership could look open because of the loft. Lofted can look open, however added loft is what makes this an important membership for all ladies.

Hybrids could be miraculous and forgiving golf equipment that ought to fly HIGHER than your lengthy irons. The basic beginner mistake is wrong ball place—too far ahead or again. The trick is to first set the membership down, let it lie FLUSH, and solely then set your stance and physique as much as match the membership face.
Are you chunking it? Then it’s too far again and also you’re de-lofting it. Are you topping or fading it? It’s too far ahead, inflicting you to slip by way of it. Keep in mind: golf is 90% setup & 10% ignorance!
Are you hitting it good? Okay, properly why are you studying this?! And your place might be right—simply ahead of center! From the proper place you may swing the membership like your entire full swings: flip your shoulders and hinge the membership as much as an L, then launch freely right into a balanced end. 1-2. Maintain it easy.
You’ll need this tattooed in your forearm (okay, perhaps sharpie in your golf glove): On the course, your ideas are TARGET and FEEL oriented. Study it. Neglect it. Golf doesn’t should be laborious!
