Working a Hybrid Off the Tee

I found this video tip from Golf Magazine Top100 Teacher Jim Murphy over at golf.com. It's a tip on how to hit a hybrid off the tee. Murphy says you can hit a hybrid almost as far as a driver if you do it right...

But it's his warning approximately how NOT to do it that I suppose many of you may be extra interested by!

Murphy says that the correct manner to hit your hybrid lengthy and instantly is to tee it very low, so the tee nearly would not display above the floor, and make the equal swing (a stage to barely downward sweeping blow) you would make from the fairway.

That's if you need to hit it long and straight. Teeing it high, as you would with a driver, is a mistake...

Unless you WANT to hit a hook together with your hybrid!

If you tee the ball excessive -- this is, with about half the ball above the pinnacle of the hybrid -- and make your normal upward driver swing, Murphy says YOU'LL HOOK THE BALL. So in case you want to get a massive hook off the tee, you could purpose for a hook and make your driving force swing.

And it follows that if you regulate how high you tee the ball -- teeing it simply a chunk lower, as an example -- you need to have the ability to show that huge hook right into a smaller draw.

You may also have to play with this a bit to get the precise end result you want. And in case you're a persistent slicer, you can ought to work in your weight shift a bit so that you do not opposite pivot and reduce across the ball. But for lots of you, this can be simply the factor for that dogleg tee shot it is been supplying you with hassle.
