Moment Of Truth

Golf’s moment of truth. If your grip, setup, takeaway, backswing and downswing are in order, here’s what happens as a hybrid clubhead contacts the ball:
  1. The right hand and forearm roll over the left; this action is called the release.
  2. On impact, the hands are ever-so-slightly ahead of the ball. 
  3. The clubhead strikes the ball an instant before hitting the turf. 
  4. Your right knee points inward, at the target.
  5. The left hip has “cleared,” i.e. rotated left of the target, with the right hip coming around toward the ball.
  6. The shoulders are square to the target line, your weight evenly balanced on both feet.

You may or not produce a divot with your hybrids, as the clubhead follows a descending but shallow path into the ball.
