Hybrid off of the tee.

[anthony]

When you hit a hybrid off a tee, do you tee it up like a 3 wood or just above the grass as if you were hitting an 7 iron?

[Motley01]

Just like a 7 iron...

[MI Rob]

I usually tee it up pretty low if I am hitting a hybrid off the tee. When I tee a 3 wood it is usually just a little bit higher then a hybrid or iron. Also depends if you want a higher or lower shot.

[David in FL]

Like an iron.

BTW......the ball's only another 1/4" or so higher with my 3 wood.

[wrx_junki]

For hybrids and irons, I only tee the ball up when I want to hit a draw. When I do tee it up its barely above the grass.

[Elvisliveson]

I tee it up just above the grass like I do an iron.

[Dub]

Like an iron.

same here....all I'm really trying to do is duplicate a perfect lie.

Be careful with questions like this. Single-digit handicappers tee their woods just as low as they would for an iron. Mid and High HCs tee our woods more like driver.

Just by reading their response, you can determine the responders handicap.

I hit a hybrid like I hit a iron, so I tee it the same way as my irons. That may vary from club to club, but with a 20-ish degree hybrid I'll tee it like I do with my woods. With a wood I want to hit the ball right at the bottom of my swing arc. So, I tee the ball just above the ground so the ball is completely, or most of it, covered by the face of the club. I see many high handicappers tee the ball way too high with their woods. The driver is the only club you want to hit the ball on the way up, so it makes no sense that you should tee it that high. A lot of them hit the crown and send them sky high. I don't see how it makes it easier to hit the ball on the way up, especially with a smaller face than the driver. You set the ball up more back than you would with a drive, tee it just slightly off the ground and sweep the club.

I tee it low like Im hitting an iron.

[billysandy]

fingertip width above grass.

[glovepuppy]

I don't use a tee at all. I hit my hybrid high enough without teeing it up.

[leezer99]

Should be the same height as your 3 or 5 wood... although if I want to hit a suicide hook I'll tee it up a bit higher.

[anthony]

I went to the range today and tee'd it a smidge higher than an iron and hit it great. I usually tee my 3 wood around a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch I'd guess. With my irons it's just barely sticking out of the ground.

[Drifterland]

I don't tee mine up, i do that old trick that Henrick Stenson did with his 3-wood during his win at TPC this year. Tap the ground to where it makes a ruffle and set your ball on that.

[Jay-Bird]

I tee everything very low, except driver, which I tee very high.

[shankapotamus]

I wouldn't say that. I am not a low handicapper, but the ones I have played with didn't tee it up any lower than I do.

[Bruce M]

my question though, would u place the ball closer to ur front foot like a driver or more towards ur back foot like an iron.
