How To Hit Your Hybrid Better AskGolfGuru

PGA professional Mark Crossfield explains the technical reasons behind low-launching hybrid shots, specifically focusing on excessive forward shaft lean and poor strike quality. He demonstrates how golfers can experiment with their impact angles and highlights the importance of using launch monitors to measure dynamic loft for better results.

• Low launch is often caused by 'delofting' the club with too much forward shaft lean at impact.
• Mishits off the bottom of the clubface are a common cause of poor height on hybrid shots.
• A standard hybrid launch involves an attack angle of approximately 2 degrees down with a neutral shaft lean.
• Hybrids can be played anywhere from the middle to the front part of your stance to find your optimal launch.
• Professional lessons using launch monitors provide the fastest way to diagnose loft presentation issues.
