3Hybrid too low of launch angle

[Sai-Jin]

I got a new Taylormade Rescue TP  3 Hybrid 18*  and I think that my launch angle is way too low.

I don't use hybrids except for this one and my older Raylor 4H . But my raylor's launch angle is much higher

and I do take a divot after the ball.

My setup is hogan's setup. Where I put all my balls just off the left heel and I adjust width accordingly.

I don't see a divot after I strike the ball so, perhaps I have more of a sweeping swing like I do with my 3 wood.

I tried thinking about hitting down on the ball as if I'm using an iron, but for some reason I kept sweeping the ball and

I take no divots.

Can anyone help with a tip that I can experiment with please?

Cheers

Perhaps you could use a narrower stance that would effectively put the ball more in the middle of your stance.  What shaft does your hybrid have?  If it has a stiff shaft it could be that the shaft is just too stiff for your swingspeed, which would cause you to hit lower shots.

It's aldilla RIP Stiff shaft TP version which is a high kick. I don't think it's too stiff as I do have a relatively high speed swing with other clubs.

But it definitely feels weird swinging this new club... it feels as if the shaft is too short...

It still travels around 235yds+ including the roll, but yea... feels like the launch angle is too low.

Hybrids you still hit down right? It's not a sweeping motion like the 3Wood?

Hit down, yes. Simply swing like it's an iron.

Perhaps you're topping the ball slightly? My 4 and 5 hybirds have a pretty high launch angle. However, I have a tendency to hit a low shot with them on occasion from a slight top.

Nope, it was a perfectly hit sweeping shot. No topping at all.
