Utility Iron

Can anyone tell me where the ball should be in your stance when using a utility iron/Hybrid?

Thanks

Hi,

These are two different clubs and treated different.

A utility iron, 1 iron ect should be plyed forward in your stance the same as a three wood.

However a utility wood should be played slightly further back, or just forward of middle.

This is due to the design differences.

Hope this helps

Ian.

Sorry, I meant a hybrid. Would that be the same off the fairway as off the tee?

Slightly forward off a tee,

Hybrids are designed different from say a three wood as the shaft is much shorter and therefore should be played just left of centre.

The latest Hybrids are to replace long irons.
