The Hybrid Bump and Run Shot

Being creative in golf is a must if you want to improve your scores. And having the Hybrid Bump and Run Shot in your arsenal of shots is an absolute necessity if you’re in search of lower scores.  Within this video, John Hughes, Director of Instruction for Instant Golf Improvement shows you how to set up and hit this shot.

What is a Hybrid Bump and Run Shot?

Similar to a Chip Shot, the Hybrid Bump and Run Shot is executed with an abbreviated back swing and a lower finish to enhance your possibilities of hitting a shot low and long.  A Hybrid is a versatile golf club, designed to hit a ball from many different lies and many different conditions.  When using it to chip, it becomes a great weapon around raised greens as well as through thick rough.  In a similar fashion, the Hybrid Bump and Run Shot is a longer variation of the Hybrid Chip Shot, that will allow a golfer to hit a shot 100 or more yards if needed, while keeping the ball low under possible tree or other obstacles.

How do you set up for a Hybrid Bump and Run Shot?

Unlike how you’d set up for a normal Hybrid shot from a normal lie, setting up for the Hybrid Bump and Run shot is similar to setting up for a chip shot, with a couple variations.

At the 1:37 mark of this video, you’ll discover the importance of proper hand placement on the grip of your Hybrid.  Proper grip placement insures you have ultimate control of the golf club.

At the 1:45 mark of this video, you’ll begin to understand how placing the ball in the back of your stance with a Hybrid can cause some issues,  Proper ball placement for the Hybrid Bump and Run Shot is in the middle of your stance.  And in some extreme lie conditions, just back of the middle of your stance.

Possibly the most important part of setting up for this shot can be found when you get to the 2:35 mark of the video.  Hanging back is a cause to many poor shots, including a Hybrid Bump and Run.  Learning which side of your body to lean into throughout this shot can either make you or break you when it comes to results.

How do you Hit a Hybrid Bump and Run Shot?

A “big chip shot swing” is required to make this shot work.  When you get to the 2:23 mark of the video, you’ll want to pay attention to what a big chip shot swing really means.

How Long will it take me to Master the Hybrid Bump and Run Shot?
