We have all seen the growing trend of more and more golfers using hybrid golf clubs, and you might find yourself wondering if they are for you. Well, I am here to tell you there are a lot more reasons for you to add hybrid golf clubs to your bag than there are to not add them.
Why should you use hybrid golf clubs? The easiest way to answer that is to tell you that hybrid golf clubs are easier and more forgiving to use than irons. The hardest clubs to hit consistently and accurately are the long irons. Imagine standing over a tough shot that would normally call for a long iron. Perhaps you have to hit over water, or are looking at hazards around the green. Can you say with confidence that you will not end up in trouble more often than not with this scenario? If they answered honestly, most golfers would have to answer no.
Now, picture the same shot with a hybrid. If you put a bad swing on the ball, the chances are it will end up in a much better place than if you put the same bad swing on the ball with your long iron. Imagine if you try the same shot out of heavy rough. The advantage hybrids give you is amplified even more.
Why does the hybrid end up better in the example above? Well, there are a couple of reasons. It is very easy to swing a long iron and hit the ball fat, meaning you hit the ground too soon and the club either skips into the ball, or sticks in the ground and the ball is propelled by nothing but the divot you dug up. The thing about either of those results is not only will you not get the correct distance, but you have no way of knowing if the ball will be way off course left or right in addition to being short. This brings all the trouble spots on the golf hole into play. If you hit the ball thin you may get more distance, but the trouble right and left are still in play, and with a thin shot usually even worse. Put the same swing on the ball with a hybrid and the results are very different. If you hit the shot fat, the wider sole of the club will not stick in the ground. The ball will still get loft and will still get decent distance. The real key though is the ball will likely still go straight! So you put a bad swing on the ball and you still got it up in the air and got decent distance on it. The odds are, you are still in play and live to hit another shot instead of dropping a ball and taking a penalty stroke.
It is a given that hybrid golf clubs are easier and more forgiving than long irons. Anyone undecided about whether they should use hybrids should join the growing hybrid crown right away. With the same golf swing you use with your long irons, you can make an immediate impact on your golf score by switching to hybrids. You will almost certainly lower your golf score right away due to the hybrid's forgiving design. There is nothing else you can do that will impact your golf score so quickly, and that is the single best reason for you to change to hybrid golf clubs today.
