Center of Gravity

• Hybrids have a center of gravity at the back and to the bottom of the club, which helps launch the ball.
  
  

Flat Faces

• All hybrids have a flat face with little to no lines. This helps the ball spin faster, which gives it more accuracy. Slower turning balls tend to veer off course in the air and upon impact on the ground.
  
  

Weight

• The overall weight of a hybrid club is lighter, giving you more ease in handling the club.
  
  

Shaft

• The shaft of the golf clubs are shorter than regular woods or irons. They are short by design so you have more control when you swing.
  
  

Professional Use

• Professional golfers such as Stuart Appleby, Retief Goosen and David Toms use hybrids when on tour.
