Hi Shawn, I have this HUGE problem of hitting my hybrids with this massive draw. It’s a “see you on the next hole” kind of draw. It has reached a point where my hands are too far forward of the ball (ball in center of stance) so that I can square the clubface at address. What do you think is happening? I have little issues with my single length irons other than the occassional slice or not so good contact – but in general – I can live with my irons. Thanks!
You will see this often as the hybrids are way too draw biased for starters AND they have a bowed face that makes the club face look a lot more open than it actually is and I find many students over close the hybrid because of this;
So open it up until you get your nice draw back or get another TOUR PREFERRED hybrid and get properly fit for it.
Hey Shawn, I still can’t seem to get any heighth on my 19 deg hybrid or 15 deg 3 wood,. Really comes off face hot but not far from a worm burner? Feel like I’m throwing club at target?
Are you picturing the height you want to release them on? See “best lesson I ever got from Moe norman shawn clement”
Shawn,
I noticed the brace and tilt set up on woods and drivers just like irons. However, shaft does not lean as much as irons cuz of length of shaft on woods, hybrids and driver. My question is with these longer shafted clubs do i still use a 20-30 degree closed face similiar to irons and will shaft still lead like irons to square face at impact? Am i missing something?
Not as much shaft lean because of ball position is more forward; that is all;
Some woods don’t need to be closed as much because they are already draw biased; and because the face of the club is rounded, it looks more open than what it is…WHAT IS IMPORTANT is that when you release the swing in the direction you want the ball to start, you see the ball fly the way you want it to! 😀👍
Hi Shawn,
I have all Hybrids in my bag, just bought them as I resumed golfing after a long hiatus. I am 70 and have found your videos to be very enlightening. Am I correct in noting that ball placement in the different use of Hybrids is a critical part in making contact. I find myself lifting up at contact, any drills or videos I should watch to correct that?
Always focus on the sole of the hybrids and how it skips or deflects firmly with the ground as you throw them towards your targets;
See the “Planing wood” video or the “golf is as easy as peeling carrots shawn clement” on youtube and focus of whipping the grass clippings to the target; never focus on ball to club face; always on sole of club along the ground and how it thump deflects along it;
Shawn
Dear Shawn,
I’m nearly 78, and I carry a nine, eleven and thirteen woods in my bag. Should I change to Hybrids? When I use these clubs, should my ball position be different than the hybrid you demonstrated?

Hey Ranny! Only if you are having issues; I have seen this before and those clubs can actually do a very nice job! Never buy anything without trying them; you want them to feel easy to swing and love the sound and feel that comes off of them; Shawn
