Hitting out of deep rough
Whenever I am in deep rough, I have never hit a good shot. I always hit it along the ground, never getting the ball up in the air, and traveling 10-20 yards.
What should I do to have a decent shot of getting the ball back in the fairway or getting some distance? Should I use a smaller club to get some height and let the ball travel out of the rough?

Use less club, open the face. Especially if it's only your 2nd shot, Lay up to the fairway, instead of trying to hit a hero shot to the green.

what about using a hybrid/fairway wood? Ive read in a couple places that the heavier and larger club head cuts through teh grass a little better [/ QUOTE ] This doesn't apply to DEEP rough

When I say fairway woods/hybrid aren't good out of DEEP rough, I'm talking your ball is buried, US Open-hack-it-out-forty yards type rough. If the ball is lying such that you think you can get a lot of club on the ball, by all means rip away with your hybrid as it usually will slide through a bit better than say, your 4 iron.
