Are you supposed to swing these like a hybrid or not? I got one free with the driver and really want to learn how to hit it good. Should my swingplane be more like my driver or more like my irons? I think I am trying to sweep too much instead of hitting down on it? Anbody with experience with one? Just confusing since it says ease of hybrid but distance of a fairway. Really need to be able to fill that gap between driver and three iron.

I dunno, what degree is it? I can't hit hybrids too well, so I can't say (they just don't feel as solid as irons to me.) I would guess you should sweep it like a 3W. When I miss with the 3W or 5W, its usually because I'm too steep.

I have the same club. You can do either swing with it thats the beauty.
Its the only 3Wood I can use in rough and still nail it. If I am in the rough I hit down on it hard play it a bit more center. If I am fairway or driving with it I sweep it, more front of stance. Both give good distances, if you sweep it you should get lower trajectory and more roll. I bought it to cover the distance between driver and hybrid and it works wonders. My drives are about 220, I hit this 200 off the deck and my hybrid is 180

I could never figure it out, I cant get comfortable over a hybrid, hence why I don't carry one anymore.

But yes I believe it has to do with loft/length of shaft. I played mine slightly forward of center.

I sweep it back and strike it with a descending blow. If I want to draw the ball, I don't hit down as much. Works for me but not sure how it'll turn out for you.

Well if I do not sweep slight as flat as driver, I have been able to make it fly off the mat at the local driving range. But yesterday on the course and real grass, that was another story. Topping or digging too much, never once hit and good clean shot with it. Maybe mental since actually counted.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
