Golf is a game of trade-offs. For any given shot, there are countless combinations of clubs to use and ways to use them. All with the same end-goal of getting the little white ball closer to the hole.
Every club/shot combination requires weighing its distinct pros and cons vs all of the other club/shot combination you could use for the same scenario.
As you improve, you unlock the ability to hit different shots and get more creative with each of the 14 clubs in your bag. Over time, you learn to use your clubs for more than just their “standard” intended use.
In this week’s post, I want to discuss perhaps the easiest of the non-standard club uses: putting with a hybrid.
I’m going to break down why I think you should learn the hybrid putt, the physics behind why it works, the data we currently have surrounding it, and most importantly, when to use it.
Let’s get into it.

The Physics of the Hybrid Putt
Let’s start with this: a putter generally carries about three or four degrees of loft. A hybrid carries somewhere around seventeen to twenty-seven. Understanding this gap is really the key to understanding the hybrid’s effectiveness from just off the green.
