We calculate the strong decays of hybrid mesons to conventional mesons forall the lowest lying J^PC hybrids of flavour uu, dd, ss, cc and bb. A decayoperator developed from the heavy quark expansion of quantum chromodynamics isemployed. We show that the selection rule that hybrid mesons do not decay toidentical S-wave mesons, found in other models, is preserved. We predict decaysof charmonium hybrids, discuss decays of J^PC=1^-+ exotic isovector hybrids ofvarious masses, and interpret the \pi(1800) as a hybrid meson.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, 2 eps figures. Contribution to the Seventh  International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy (HADRON '97), Brookhaven,  August 1997. In collaboration with Eric S. Swanson and Adam P. Szczepania
