Hybrid / hand placement

[keb]

I discovered that I hit my hybrid much better if my hands are in front of the ball on setup. I have been hitting my shots straight and longer. Does this make any sense?

Yeah, you're basically putting your hands more toward your front foot, correct?

[keb]

Yes my hands are more toward my front foot.

I discovered something similar by accident last week. This seems to apply more to my 3H than my 4H, but I'm not complaining. Now if only I could hit a good punch shot with them.

Make sense to me, I try to envision that I'm hitting a 5 iron when I hit 19 degree hybrid. Since my 5 iron set up would have a slight forward press of the hands, I try to replicate that with my hybrid.
