Take a shorter swing

　　缩短上杆幅度

　　This is where my Hybrid really earns its keep. The heavy, round clubhead glides through thick grass easily, making unpredictable long shots from the rough a lot easier. This shot also gives the ball some topspin, which makes it run further when it lands. When I hit my Hybrid from the rough, I place the ball back toward the center of my stance to help me catch the ball before the grass. To maintain stability through impact, I shorten my backswing from its usual position nearly parallel to the ground(a) to more of a three-quarter swing(b). Finish with a full follow-through.

　　我认为这是铁木杆体现它价值的地方：又重又圆的杆头能够轻易滑过厚草地，使得从长草里打球变得轻松许多，而且能够打出不可思议的长距离球。这种杆也可以给球一些上旋的效果，当球落地时，球仍能滚得更远。我在长草区打球时，通常把球放在离后脚近一些，以便在杆头触到草坪之前打到球。为了在打球中保持稳定性，我会缩短上杆的幅度——不把杆挥到与地面平行，而是约四分之三的上杆就够了，并以一个全收杆结束。
