Slater,
I have a Cobra Baffler #3. First let me say this is my favorite club and incredibly versatile. I play it about 2 balls inside my left heel on the fairway and try to sweep it not hit down on it. I set the ball at just above ground level off the tee and position it about the same off my heel. The club is just great. Since it's offset a bit I tend to weaken my grip a little and this produces basically a very straight trajectory. Hope this helps.

Re: correct set up for hybrid

you want to play a hybrid similar to how you play your fairway woods. Placethe ball forawrd in your stance and hit it with a sweeping motion.
