I played in a one club tournament last fall. You chose your own club. I chose my 30 degree bridge stone. I shot an 88. The guy who won shot 80 with a 6 iron. Learned for me I don’t need 14 clubs to enjoy the game. I carry 6 clubs. For me it takes over thinking out of the equation.
after experimenting a few months (i have time to practice once a week on the range, started golf this march) , and having played my first 18 holes on the course, i decided, for the moment, to make my 4 hybrid as the main club to swing of the majority of the Tee's on the course. Along comes youtube algorithm with another topspeed golf video, for exactly the topic i didnt even search for yet. Simply, awesome-
This video lesson was made for me! Now I know what I’m doing and how to fix it!!! Whew! What a relief! The struggle has been real. Thank you Clay! Always well made content and easy to understand!
This video is awesome. I'm having this exact issue with my hybrids in this video. Just got into the game recently after being away from the game for years. This video will definitely help
Clay, you had a tremendous offer for membership for the Top speed program. I saw the value and signed up. I started from the beginning, even though I thought some of it would be redundant. I started playing at the age of 22. I'm now 46. I've taken many, many lessons. I understand what you teach. To make a long story short, I have achieved a level of ball striking that I simply have a hard time believing. WITHOUT EFFORT! I am a legitimate 300 yards off the tee. Sometimes 340. The pressure to execute is real. Great moments are born of great opportunity. I have never had this much fun playing golf. Thanks to your program, I am starting to believe that I am that good. Going birdie, eagle, birdie, par isn't a fluke. (Actually missed another eagle put). Thank you so much. I went back into the vault this morning to watch drills where I see weaknesses. I will do the drills and I will have even more success. Thanks again. Thank you to the staff.
Clay great lesson as always. My problem with hybrids is hooking them off the face of the earth. I think this is due to me being only 5'6" tall. With all hybrids I have had the toe sticks up me thinking hybrids off the shelf are made for taller people. My only solution to date is to open my stance and not swing as hard which cuts my distance. Any other suggestions to eliminate to duck hook? Thanks and keep up the great work. Bill.
Yes, bending the left leg helps, but in your example, you don't mention pushing the left hip joint back away from the ball, nor do you mention the movement of the right knee into the correct position. I know these things because I learned them from your Paige Spiranac swing analysis video and it totally changed and fixed my swing. Simply pushing the left knee forward will not fix the issues.
Hi Clay - this looks like a great move and for me almost feels like it negates my tendency to lunge forward and go after the ball. How does one time this move though? Any drills?
I have a dreadful time with hybrids. I don't see them as easier to hit than a long iron. My 4H goes left and hooks from there...every time. It is very frustrating to the point that I want to put my 4i back in my bag.
Hey Clay, your preview video for release of the club looked like you where at University Club in Lexington, KY. Do you offer lessons there occasionally?
Dude you gotta stop contradicting your self man. You just said for a hybrid position the ball in the middle of your stance like an iron and not forward like a driver or a 3 wood yet in the 3 wood video you say to position the ball in the center of your stance so which is it
GREAT COACH. Keeps it simple but provides all the information and drills you need to entrain the correct techniques.
Glad it was helpful!

Such a great video. Watch the pros - a bent left knee into impact is so important, only straightening with that release point after the ball
Thanks!

We read your mind!! 😀Just kidding, but glad you liked it!
2022 has been my first year fir really flushed hybrid shots. GIRs at 200 yards+ with a 4HYB. Many thanks for the efforts you made with key points.
This video lesson was made for me! Now I know what I’m doing and how to fix it!!! Whew! What a relief! The struggle has been real. Thank you Clay! Always well made content and easy to understand!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 👍

Awesome! Glad to help! Best of luck on the course 👍🏌️
Thank you Clay. Your videos are excellent. I hope this one helps my hybrid success. I'll hit hundreds of balls until I nail it with consistency.
Good luck, thanks for watching!
Great timing. I’ve been having problems with the hybrids. Will keep all of this in mind. Great video.
Wow, fully logical and it explained why I hate my hybrid. Better late than never.. I am going to the range now.
Glad I could help!
Covering the ball with your chest another good visual.
Excellent as usual. Thank you!
Great one, Clay.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks Coach Clay
You're welcome!
Thank you, makes total sense. Isnt this knee move the same with irons aswell?
not clear to me from the video if it is the same for irons. But great question.
Thank you ...Brilliant
You're welcome!
Good advice,and Coaching

Hi Bill, try Callaway UD utility wood. Really nice and the only club which has the face open slightly at address (designed by P Michelson)
@@HarryLivestream thanks very much. Will try. I am excited about not hooking a hybrid! Cheers.
@@billbigler1366 I’m a terrible hooker with all hybrids as they typically seem to be slightly closed. With this one so far not one 😀
Slightly open stance and to make sure shoulders arent closed at impact helps me.
@@Koboltgolf thanks very much. I will try.
Clay - great video as always. moving toward hybrids for all clubs. Have you tried Eleven's hybrids? curious on your thoughts.
Great video
Thanks!

Can I do this for the driver, wood, 7iron??
Finally someone explains what I do wrong perfectly!
Hi Clay - this looks like a great move and for me almost feels like it negates my tendency to lunge forward and go after the ball. How does one time this move though? Any drills?
Does this count for all hybrids?
One other tip I learned a few days ago that’s helped a lot is to swing with the more upright lie plane of an iron instead of the flatter lie of a wood
Love your videos Clay but wish the written info was at top of screen because I want to see impact more clearly
I used that knee bend and it made a huge difference
My 3 and 5 hybrids are the worst club part of my game. This will help me I know!
Great
My pleasure!
Looks easy.
I hit my #3 hybrid great, but my #4 and #5 and same with 4 and 5 iron are lousy. I don't get it.
I have a dreadful time with hybrids. I don't see them as easier to hit than a long iron. My 4H goes left and hooks from there...every time. It is very frustrating to the point that I want to put my 4i back in my bag.
don't we use that front leg knee action for all clubs ? , maybe minor modification for driver
I keep hitting hooks with my hybrid
if you use the stack and tilt method you have none of the problems described by Clay in playing hybrids
It's called a reverse c and it would damage any swing with any clubs
Why do I hit a hybrid so much better than my 5 and 4 irons when it feels like the same swing?
Because they are more forgiving through thr turf.
Hey Clay, your preview video for release of the club looked like you where at University Club in Lexington, KY. Do you offer lessons there occasionally?
Mo Norman!
The only problem with that is amateurs will now sway too much forward and their body will be way out ahead of their hands
All that to say: just hit it like a damn iron. Sometimes I feel like you try too hard just to make a video. 😜
Why am I hooking the shit out of mine?
Dude you gotta stop contradicting your self man. You just said for a hybrid position the ball in the middle of your stance like an iron and not forward like a driver or a 3 wood yet in the 3 wood video you say to position the ball in the center of your stance so which is it
Save for a driver, the ball should be within three golf ball widths forward of the center of the stance. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
I wonder why he keeps on showing some imaginary actions of tilting backwards so much and wasting viewers time.
