Hooking hybrids?

[clubmaker15]

What can I be doing that is causing a hook? My hybrid has a little offset, but hasn't been a problem until now. I can sometimes hit it straight, but lately it has been hooking badly. All my other clubs are fine. What can I do? What should I do? Thanks

If it is a hook and not a pull, then the face is closed relative to your swing path. If you aren't having this problem with your other clubs I'd first look at ball position. Maybe try moving in back in your stance a little. If it is too far up in the stance then the face may be already starting to close a little by the time you are contacting the ball.

I do the exact same thing. I tend to hook my hybrids, and none of my other clubs. Playing it a little more back in my stance usually does the trick, along with thinking about pushing my hands on an in-to-out swing path and not turning my hands over so much.

A lot of golfers, including myself, are guilty of letting the ball creep into a fairway wood position - the club looks like a wood. But I think its better to put the ball more in a mid iron position and even hit down a tad at times.

The key to hybrids is you have to think of them like they are an iron. That means playing them in the middle of your stance and hitting down on the ball.
I strugged with hybrids at first too, but then I learned what I was doing wrong (playing the ball waaaay too far foreward in my stance) and now its all good.
