Hybrids Offer Escape from Fairway Bunker Dilemma
Golfers often dread finding themselves in a fairway bunker, especially when the shot to the green requires precision and distance. However, mastering the art of escaping with a hybrid can significantly enhance one’s recovery game.
Hybrids offer a versatile combination of power and accuracy, equipping golfers with the means to clear the lip of the bunker and land softly on the green. These clubs are designed with a larger clubhead than irons, providing greater forgiveness on off-center hits.
The key to executing a successful hybrid escape lies in selecting the appropriate club. Golfers should opt for a hybrid with a loft between 21 and 27 degrees, which will generate enough height to clear the bunker lip while maintaining sufficient ball speed.
By adopting the correct technique and using the right hybrid, golfers can transform a challenging fairway bunker shot into an opportunity to advance the ball towards the green and salvage their score.
