Would it be like hitting an iron or a wood? Ball Placement? And any other factors that I need to get a good shot off the fairway.

Like an iron. Pretty much the same ball placement as my 4 iron.

Set up for an iron, think of it as an iron, and then - don't try to kill it. Just let it flow - the clubhead and longer shaft will give you all the help you need - be aggressive, but not over aggressive.

I try to play it with a 'neutral' club shaft, not leaning forward or backwards. Then easy swing and the club does the rest....don't try to hit it too hard.

I just hit ball :p

Though i tend to think of the hybrid as more of a fairway wood, just because of the sole of the club. So i tend to hit with shallower angle than a long iron.

I make sure I hit it with more of a sweeping hit. I dont want to dig and take a divot like an iron. Just how I do it personally.


I hit mine like an iron, hit down on it and take a divot with the ball slightly ahead of centre in my stance. Even when I hit it off the tee I do the same thing.


I play it in the same spot as my 3 and 4 iron. The swing I do, and as I've heard from most instructors and seen, hits much more like and iron. Not a sweep, should take a small divot, just like a long iron.

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player..

    • Day 241 (31 Dec 24) - last session of the year.  Worked with the 54 wedge focusing on not decelerating in the downswing thru the ball.  Much better distance control, ball checked well.  Good session…
    • Taylormade had the Aeroburner mini driver that was 253cc. The only mini driver I have owned. It was a hot beast.
    • Wilson brought out the Killer Whale driver in I think around 1991 - it was around 300cc and looked enormous at the time. I was used to much smaller. Now not so much. I think the appeal of the mini driver is a lot of drivers these days are designed not to turn over. It's hard to hit a controlled draw with them.  For a lot of pros, when they come upon a hole that favors a draw, they don't want to hit their driver because they can't (or won't) draw it. A mini driver can be their draw club and the fact that they can also hit it off the deck means it's not costing them a club in their bag to do that. It's like a mix of a 3 wood and a driver that checks two boxes for one slot in the bag.
    • The fact remains that a lot of people will buy the club. And as I noted, I play with several golfers that have mini drivers. The Callaway one is pretty big, too. It's not 280cc. 280cc is, FWIW, I think about 23cc larger than the Titleist PT driver of yesteryear. The GT 3W is 200cc, so this adds 80cc to that, while still being one of the smaller mini drivers which are often closer to 300cc or just over it.
    • 😁That’s because it’s Golfwrx 🙄…where everyone is a +12, hits is 370, and has unlimited money for new equipment!   Maybe I’ll go over there and say I ordered 12 of them 😁   Gotta keep up with the Jones over there.  As you know there are a couple other sites like that🙄. Niche audience is the perfect phrasing.  Most of the comments so far back that up.
