What Makes a Hybrid Golf Club Work?
Golf club manufacturers have taken the center of gravity and moved it back and to the bottom of the modern hybrid golf club. This is almost impossible with a standard iron. This modification helps launch the ball high into the air. Top manufacturers have also made the face flat and added a higher launch angle, which gives the ball a higher spin, allowing it to stop faster with more accuracy.
Hybrid golf clubs are specifically designed for distance control and accuracy. The shafts are shorter and the clubfaces stiffer like their iron counterparts. They also have no face bulge or roundness like fairway woods, which keeps the shots simple. The bottoms often have runners that help the club interact with the turf whether it is long rough, short fairway or sand. Their lofts also vary anywhere from 16 to the mid 20 degrees like the longer irons.
