Golf swing!?

Question

so today i got to go to the driving range w/ my new orlimar clubs.. first off i have to say i love the irons... and the driver well its decent not great but gets the job done. but when it came down the the transition to the hybrid i couldnt switch my swing. i felt like i was swinging a iron.. i was kickin up dirt on every hit. my friends where telling me to hit it like the fairway wood but i just couldnt do it.. anyone else have this problem w/ the hybrid?

Answer 1

I have used Orlimar clubs since the first drivers came out a fair while ago. My daughter is now using Orlimar irons and wedges and the hybrid as well. I recently got myself an Orlimar 2h which has worked really well for me. One tip I gave a friend who was struggling to use his, was to try and open his stance up a little bit. It worked for him so you might want to just try it.

Good Luck

Just feel like you're swinging a long iron, nice and smooth. Don't get too steep though. Even take a little divot if you need to. Ben Hogan even took a little divot with his fairway woods.

Answer 3

First off, any new clubs are going to need some getting used to. Don't expect to hit great with them the first time you go out. I for one hate hybrids. They go way too low and don't help in the rough at all. So, although it might not be the best option, I have to resort to long irons in the rough. One thing that caught my eye was that you said "I couldn't switch my swing". You should never alter the whole swing, unless of course you are pitching or putting. You can, however, alter you stance. Stand slightly farther back. This tip is widely used but for me doesn't work. Mentally, it makes me feel like a have to try to hit the ball, rather than just let the ball get in the way of the swing. Thus, I end up topping it. So, see if this works-it may or may not. One other thing you said was that you were kicking up dirt on every hit. This shows you were hitting behind the ball. Put the ball farther back in your stance, closer to the right leg. Hopefully these help some.

Answer 4

hybrid swings should be similar to a long iron swing. try standing a little taller, and sweeping the clubhead back and through.
