Hybrid Golf clubs: See If They Are they Right For You

7:08 pm November 14, 2009

Every golfer is aware of the growing use of hybrid golf clubs. Many golfers find themselves wondering if they should be using hybrids. You should know that there are a lot of reasons for you to be be using hybrid golf clubs.

Most golfers want to know why they should consider using hybrid golf clubs. An easy way to answer this is to consider a typical ling iron shot. Maybe you are 200 yards from the green and have a 3 iron in your hand. You are looking at hazards around the green and know this shot must be accurate with both distance and direction in order to not find trouble. If you cannot say with confidence that you will hit this shot accurately a high percentage of the time, you are in the same category as most golfers.

On the other hand, if you are facing the same shot with a hybrid golf club, the story is much different. Even with a poor swing, most shots will still end up better than if you had used a long iron. Now consider hitting the same shot out of the rough or a bad lie. In this situation the advantage given by hybrid golf clubs is even greater.

So, why how is it that the same shot using a hybrid golf club ends up better than a long iron? There are a few reasons for this. As most golfers know, there is a much greater chance of hitting a poor shot when using long irons. If you hit the ground before you hit the ball, you will not get much distance and you may also end up hitting the ball right or left, bringing any trouble on the hole into play. On the other hand, if you hit the ball thin you are also likely to slice or hook the ball, bringing trouble right or left into play even though your distance might not have been too bad. In the same situation, if you put the same swing on the ball while using a hybrid golf club, you have a good chance of your ball ending up in decent shape. The hybrid will still give you loft and generally keep the ball going straight, so chances are your ball will still be in play without taking a penalty shot.

Hybrid golf clubs are more forgiving and easier to hit than long irons. That is the simple truth. If you are on the fence about using them, you need to jump over onto the side of hybrid golf clubs. You can start using hybrid golf clubs and make absolutely zero changes to your swing. The result is likely to be a lower number on your scorecard the very first time you use your hybrids. I can’t think of any one thing you can do today that will make tomorrow’s golf score lower. That is a powerful statement and the only real reason you need to add hybrid golf clubs to your bag today!

How To Hit A Hybrid Golf Club

7:41 am November 10, 2009

With the new wave of hybrid golf clubs appearing on the market, many golfers are jumping on the hybrid bandwagon, thinking that since everyone else is using them, so should they. Well, the arguments for using hybrid golf clubs are strong, but not so strong that you should not do at least a little research.

The big questions are, are hybrids right for you and will they improve your game? In this article I will look at the issue of determining if hybrid golf clubs will improve your game, and also share with you the right way to use them.

If you are a solid long iron player now, you are in the minority of amateur golfers. Since long irons are difficult to hit consistently compared to most other clubs in your bag, most amateur golfers struggle with them. And, since hybrid golf clubs replace long irons, most amateurs will benefit from adding them to their golf bag. Even if you are a good long iron player, chances are you will still benefit from hitting hybrids. In my own case, I am an 11 handicap so although not ready to turn pro, I am pretty good compared to most amateurs. I have always been pretty consistent with my long irons, in fact I had my lone hole in one with from’4 yards and a 4 iron. I also have an eagle with a 5 iron from 173 yards. I will generally choose a long iron over a fairway wood, so that should give you an idea of my comfort level with long irons.

Having said all the above, I am still a better golfer when I put hybrid golf clubs in my bag and take out my 3, 4 & 5 irons. So the short answer to the question of whether you should use them is a resounding yes!

OK, now let’s talk about just how to use hybrids. A lot of golfers think that they should use hybrids like they use fairway woods. That is understandable, since hybrids look a lot like fairway woods. But, this approach is wrong and will cost you strokes rather than improve your score.

The short answer to how to hit a hybrid golf club is to tell you to use the same swing as you do with a comparable long iron. That means different things to different people. I don’t get caught up in placing the ball exactly where the pro says to place it, just like I don’t get caught up in listening to others say what is right or wrong with a golf swing. The biggest key to a golf swing is to find comfort and consistency with YOUR swing. I use myself as an example again. I have always placed the ball just inside of my right foot when hitting long irons. I also have a tendency to close the face down and play a draw. Both of those things make me hit a lower than average ball, and play a draw with all my long irons. Most pros would find many flaws with my swing, but my swing is comfortable to me and is a swing I can repeat again and again. If you can repeat it, you can be consistent and apply small changes to produce better results.

So each of us has our own golf swing. If you switch to hybrid golf clubs from long irons, what does that mean? Well, if your long iron swing was one that struck the ball with a descending blow, then that is a good start. You do not want to use a sweeping, fairway wood type of motion with your hybrids. Hit the ball with a descending blow and let the design of the hybrid work for you.

So if you use the same swing, why will the result with a hybrid be better? The club itself is the difference. the wider, flatter club face will not stick in the ground like a long iron hit fat. When you hit a ling iron fat or thin, you are likely to either hit a thin slice or a fat hook. Those are bad results in more ways than one. If you hit your hybrid fat or thin, it is likely to still go pretty straight, so unless there is trouble short of your target, your ball should live to be hit again without penalty. When you add right and left into the bad shot equation, you are bringing the possibility of penalty strokes into play a much larger percentage of time.

In summary let me say that almost every golfer will benefit from taking the long irons out of their bag and adding hybrid golf clubs. You are almost guaranteed to lower your score if you add hybrids and use them properly. Make sure you hit the ball with a descending blow like you would with your long irons. Spend some time on the driving range getting used to your new hybrids, and don’t be surprised if you take strokes off your golf score the very first time out!

Golf Clone Clubs Versus Brand Name Golf Clubs

6:59 am June 30, 2009
by Bernard Theobald

Quality golf clubs do not need to cost a small fortune. One can get the same quality for much less in a hybrid or clone set of clubs.

So, how do golf clone hybrids differ from ordinary name brand clubs? Basically, quality clone clubs are made out of the exact same materials. The only thing that is missing is the name stamp such as Titleist, Nike, Callaway, Ping, etc.

A quality manufactured golf club undergoes the same exacting process as professional brands. One of the better merits of a clone club is that they often provide more custom features and are more accommodating to various specifications than brand names.

Fundamentally speaking, many pros favor custom specialty build clubs. It gives them the exact characteristic tweak they want to employ on the course. The difference between knockoffs and brand names is the same as hamburgers franchises. Some independent hamburger joints serve an even better burgers than the brand names and they allow you to tweak them.

Quality clones employ the same know-how and virtuosity as brand names. Use the same materials. They buy their grip supply for the same manufacturers, buy their shafts from the same source, put the same ingredients into the clubface as the brand names do.

What we are saying is that you get the same performance and get a better value than the brand name clubs have to offer. Brand names spend a fortune on advertising and need to charge more. The golf manufacturing suppliers are a small community and sell to both brand names and hybrid golf market.

In other words, by buying direct from a quality clone manufacturer’s factory floor, you eliminate the middle man markup and get the same hi-tech product at bang-for-the-buck savings. When you learn about the equipment side of the game, your cost savings help you buy more of any number of knock off clone clubs customized to exactly fit your style and taste.

Consider your individual body type and characteristics as well as your level of play when choosing a golf club. You’ll find every fine-tuning choice available to you from a clone set of clubs or if it is just a single fairway wood, wedge, iron or putter.
