Hi, a quick question for the trap:
I have been hitting my driver off the deck, out of trouble, when i need to be under trees and have considerable distance to the pin
Does anyone here have a good tip for hitting my hybrid low?? It's a 2 hybrid - I always get it airborn and I would love to be able to punch it.
any tips?? is the answer in ball position , follow thru??
thanks!

I'm no help except to offer that I still carry my 3 iron in addition to two hybrids just because it's so much easier to work and flight than the hybrids which just tend to go high, straight, and land soft.....

.......it's tough to complain too much about that I guess!

hi, I carry a 3 iron. Some times the lie is horrid and hitting down on it will just pop it more. I mean a club like a driver that you can sweep or hit down on (not that I ever hit down on my driver) -- like a hybrid where you can have a little more control over direction - but made for the rough and sweepable - so how would you hit a low hybrid? I need one today for getting out of trouble. But even yesterday when I played a links course by the beach - the wind was crazy and a low hybrid would have been golden there too!

Make a specific effort not to cock your wrist. Make your backswing, keep the takeway low and do not let your wrist cock.

It tends to be very dificult to hit a club low that is designed solely to get the ball in the air and land soft on the green even out of the thick rough. You can try putting the ball back in your stance causing your club face to shut down. A three or even four iron is a better choice because of their more boring ball flights.

i would recommend just getting a short shot on the fairway and conceding a stroke. there is no sense in digging yourself a hole by making multiple poor shots.

I use my 21* Hybrid to hit low punches a lot, either out of trouble or if my swing is been iffy and I want to just advance the ball 170-185 yards on a firm fairway -

the way i do it is to choke down on the club and shorten my backswing, then when I come thru the ball I close down the face and intentionally hit it thin -

it stays low and runs well - the weight of the club gets it moving well for thin contact -

This isn't anything I was taught and there are probably better ways to do it, just something i stumbled on when my driver was out of control and i was in trouble on at least 8 or 9 holes a round

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
