Where do you play a hybrid in your stance?
Your hybrid might look a lot like a fairway wood, but you need to play it the way you would an iron. The hybrid’s shaft is only slightly longer than the corresponding iron, so it’s easy to set up to the ball the same way. For the standard shot, play the ball in the middle of your stance, and keep your weight centered.
