Do you swing hybrid irons the same way as you swing the old irons?

Question

Do you swing hybrid irons the same way as you swing the old irons?

Answer 1

I swing it like I would swing a long iron.  They are long iron replacements, so that is how you should swing them.

Answer 2

Yep, you should swing them like an iron, not a fairway wood. There's an article on this in Golf Magazine this month.

Answer 3

yes u do but most of the time the hybrids are slightly lighter so u might need to adjust ur swing because of the increasded swing speed

Answer 4

Hmm....you can really do it either way, like a mid iron or like a wood. When I have used them I hit them more like a wood of the tee and like an iron (gently descending blow/small divot) from the fairway, but I don't play them on a regular basis because they go a little to high for me

Answer 5

yes you do there just supposed to be easier to hit

Answer 6

like your long irons except only adjustment is a slightly wider stance is important

Answer 7

Yes ! Hybrids are played just the same way as your normal iron shots.

Answer 8

Basically you swing the club the same no matter what club you're hitting.  The only adjustments are made in the ball position and set-up.  If you're thinking different swing with irons than woods you're in trouble already. Just experiment with ball position.  Hybrids can really be hit like irons or woods depending on your lie.

Answer 9

Yes you are suposed to swin them the same as all your other irons; however, I tried them and just couldn't do it. Every time I would try and swing it like my woods no matter how hard I tried. I did't like them at all but alot of people say they wouldn't ever go back to regular irons. For me I sold mine and went back to my regular 3 and 4 irons.
