The Hybrid Chip: Your Secret Weapon

Want to simplify your short game? In this lesson, Erika Larkin teaches you how to use a hybrid club for a simple chip shot. This technique is perfect when you have plenty of green to work with and need a shot that flies low and rolls out.

Your Action Plan

What: Your goal is to learn a simple chipping technique using a hybrid club to get the ball rolling quickly with minimal effort.

Why: A hybrid chip is the perfect alternative to a long putt or a traditional chip when you have a lot of green to work with, allowing you to easily get the ball out of the fringe and rolling toward the hole.

How:

Take a Narrow Stance: Set up with your feet close together.
Keep Your Weight Even: Play the shot with your weight 50/50, or just slightly leaned toward the green.
Minimize Wrist Motion: Use a short, simple swing with a non-existent wrist motion.
