Hybrids around the greens?

[allenpc28]

I have used it to basically putt it from the rough when I didn't feel comfortable with my chipping iron (lob wedge) and I have used it to hit a shot into a bank and let the ball die when the hole is tucked in.

personally I use a 4h....shorter and easier to control for moi

Hanks is the KING of hybrid chipping! personally it scares me to death i never do it. but to each his own.

I played a round with a guy that used his driver in place of the hybrid for these shots. He was extremely proficient at it.

On another thread someone mentioned that they use their hybrid around the greens. Can someone please explain in what situations you would do this and why?

Thank you.

I often use a 3 hybrid when I'm 2 to 4 feet off the green with a godd distance to the pin. I just use my putter grip and treat it like a putt. The loft allows it to get up slightly and then run out across the green. I like that option myself much better than using a putter, iron or wedge. It all comes down to personal preference. What works for me, may not work for others.
