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..

    • So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily. 
    • Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.  
    • Day 227 4-2 Chest and hip turn with flow drill. Trying to get a rhythm to the hip movement/less segmented feeling. 
    • A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.   
    • If you make assumptions excessively favorable to Tiger that leave out the best arguments for Jack that most people would never use to evaluate greatness in other sports and didn't use to measure greatness in golf until Tiger got injured, then sure. Here is how Gemini rates both of them just in major output with a prompt to generously subsidize Tiger's record because of field strength. And also the answer to the question who had more longevity Jack or Tiger.  Hopefully this puts the trutherism to rest.
