How do you hit a hybrid consistently?

Why is a hybrid so hard to hit?

Do you hit up or down on a hybrid?

How do you hit a golf ball with a hybrid club?

A higher driver loft can help a slice because it will help to encourage a bit more forgiveness and backspin on the driver.

Can you adjust the lie on a hybrid?
