 It doesn’t matter if it’s a long par-3, a short par-4 or a reachable
par-5, making the right shot choice first depends on having the right
clubs to choose from. Today, fairway woods have become longer, bigger
and more powerful than ever, and hybrids, on the other hand, have
become more specific, acting as either long-iron replacements or
high-lofted fairway-wood replacements. The key is to begin analyzing
your current set makeup in order to determine what’s missing. Need a
club that goes 215 yards and stops on a dime? How about a 3-wood that
flies almost as far as your driver, albeit a lot straighter? Maybe
both? Discerning your needs is crucial to hitting better shots. And
with today’s models, it’s hard to go wrong. |

 The driver is the star of the golf club world, and as such, gets
seemingly all the attention, all the kudos and all the technological
advancements. As a result, for a lot of golfers fairway woods have
become nothing more than afterthoughts that are needed simply to fill
out their collection of clubs. This approach is a definite mistake, and
one that should be immediately exchanged for one that views fairway
clubs as critical members of every golfer’s arsenal.

No longer considered a novelty, the hybrid club has developed a new reputation as the go-to shotmaker from the fairway, the rough and, believe it or not, around the green.

 If you’re supposed to hit down on the ball with your irons and slightly
up on the ball with your woods, what in the world do you do with a
hybrid club?
David Glod, president of Tour Edge Golf, says that the key to swinging
a hybrid correctly is to look at what club(s) the hybrid has replaced.
“Because most hybrids are designed to be iron replacements, we advise
golfers to swing them like they would their middle irons.”
As such, remember that it’s not necessary to try and scoop the ball
upward (as many feel they have to do with low-lofted irons). Instead,
allow the low and deep CG to work its magic and launch the ball at a
high and optimal angle. The trick? Don’t be afraid to swing down and
through as you would with a mid- or long iron.
