Make the Change Play With Hybrids

over the past weeks, Ive highlighted how inefficient we all are with long irons. I hope that you have done your own analysis. I would expect that, if you have looked at the whole performance, not only will you find that there is little difference between your #5, #4 and 3-iron yardages, you will also find a diminishing level of accuracy as you get up to the 3-iron.

Hopefully youve picked up a Hybrid and found that it looks and feels solid and gives you the confidence that you can hit the ball much more consistently AND accurately.

Below are two of my recommended Hybrid alternatives:

There are four reasons why I like and recommend the Mizuno CLK Fli-Hi hybrid:

The first is that it has a moderate offset and a heel weighted emphasis that encourages the face to close at impact. That reduces the chances of the ball going right (a fade or slice). Even if a club is easy to hit, the greatest weakness of most golfers is a shot that drifts right (right handers) and this club solves that problem.

If you pick up one of these clubs, look at the way that the heel and toe have been sculpted to make it much easier to play from the sand or the rough. Flexibility, from any lie, is a benefit that you want from any hybrid you play with

Finally, courtesy of Mizunos ability to work with many materials in club head design, the crown of this clubs takes up just 2.6% of the club heads total weight. That means the MOI can be increased, making this a very stable, solid, forgiving golf club.

callaway have been a leader in the fairway wood category and have now brought that expertise and innovation to the Hybrid category with the callaway X hybrids.

Callaways Variable Face Thickness (VFT) and S2H2 hosel technology both increase the amount of weight that can be re-positioned to the perimeters of the club head. That increases MOI and makes these hybrids very forgiving.

The VFT face also brings callaway high-COR rating to the club ensuring that you will get a longer distance to go with the higher ball trajectory.

The X sole design has been developed to make it easier to get the club head to pass through light and thick rough, while allowing the club head to slide over tight fairways.

When choosing a Hybrid Id like to talk to you about your swing speed, what woods do you carry, and how you might make use of the Hybrid off the tee. If you feel that you might want a little EXTRA distance, beyond where you hit your #4 and 3-iron today, then there are designs that have that priority. If you feel you achieve enough distance, but want additional accuracy and a higher ball flight, then there are solutions that will work best. And, if you want to deal with a nagging right to left shot shape, then there are hybrids designed just for you.

Let me help you improve your golf, enjoy your golf more and make the most out of your investment in hybrids.

The Simple Golf Swing Basics

I remember the time when I picked up golf, I wanted to have a swing like Tiger woods. Have you heard the saying, "Its better to look good and lose then to look bad and win." No dis respect to Mr Jim Furyk who has an interesting looking re routing motion of his golf swing, which though looks unconventional, still does the job pretty well.

To have a simple golf swing, one that can last 18 holes, and not just the 1st 9, I strongly feel that the basics of golf must be very very sound. Its very hard to replicate a golf swing if there is no consistency in the basics. Things like, Grip, Posture, Tilit of the Spine angle, Take away, are the arms dangling down, ball position. If there is no consistency in these areas, its very hard to build a sound and simple golf swing.

1 thing I found very helpful is to watch videos and read ebooks. I think for beginners to intermediates players, learning from ebooks and videos is many times better then hiring a coach. This is because the basics can be picked up quite effectively and when we forget certain concepts (concepts that are actually basic to the expert but are somewhat new to the golf newbie), we can easily go refer back to the material, refresh our golf knowledge then head back to the range to practice that particular golf thought.

As we progress further and when we wish to take things up a notch, then its worth spending the money to hire a good coach, or practice with a close friend, and make sure the take a video of you. Sometimes comments we may not agree with, after watching a video of our own swing, it naturally convinces us the changes we need to change in our swing.

To get started on golf on the right foot and spend 1 year to build a beautiful simple swing, be sure to read alot about the golf swing before heading down to the range. Having the right golf thoughts while practicing will help you greatly!
