This New Technique Makes Hybrids and Long Irons So Easy
Most senior golfers think they struggle with hybrids and long irons because they don’t have enough speed…but what if the real reason is where their body is moving in the golf swing?
In this golf lesson, Danny Maude shares a simple hybrid and long iron drill that can help senior golfers strike the ball first, stop hitting fat shots, get the ball launching higher, and create more effortless distance from the fairway.
After sharing the “wrench drill” for driver last week, so many golfers asked whether the same feeling works with hybrids, long irons and fairway shots. The answer is yes — and in many ways, this drill is even more useful when the ball is on the ground.
If you struggle to hit hybrids from the fairway, catch the ground before the ball, thin your long irons, lose height, or feel like you can’t reach greens in two anymore, this simple golf drill could really help.
