Hybrids on the Green

Today I just have a quick tip for you. Have you ever considered putting with one of your hybrid clubs instead of a putter?

Your first response is probably, "Oh, you mean from off the green."

And I'm pronouncing, "No. I suggest the usage of it at the green rather than your putter."

So I can listen you currently: "Why would I ever need to apply a hybrid at the inexperienced?"

Here's why: Most players don't like to make long strokes with a putter. As players get farther from the hole, they tend to leave the ball short more often. That's because most of us have a maximum-length stroke that we feel comfortable making. Once a putt gets longer than that, we second-guess ourselves and either hit the ball too hard or too soft.

A hybrid has an extended shaft -- so that you do not ought to make as long a stroke to hit the ball farther -- but it does not have as a great deal loft at the face. That manner the ball does not "soar" as plenty when you hit it. In truth, if you circulate the ball simply barely back for your stance from your normal putting position -- maybe an inch or even much less -- you'll deloft the membership sufficient to preserve the ball from leaping in any respect.

This can without a doubt help you putt better on those long putts. And on the extremely long ones, you may even remember the usage of your motive force on the green. The concept is that you could make a cushty stroke and let the longer-shafted club create the extra club velocity you need. This isn't an awful lot one-of-a-kind than choking down on quick irons when you want to "take a touch off" a pitch shot.

A little while spent practising lag placing with a hybrid can surely enhance your long approach putts. Give it a strive... You might be surprised.
