I have the swing the 2020 Srixon Z785 clubs. The irons are 3/4” longer than standard while the shafts are an NS Modus 105 stuff for the irons and a lie angle of +1. My driver is a hazardous smoke 5.5 stiff and my 5 wood is a evenflow riptide. Pretty sure my driver and 5 wood are standard length for Srixon.

I’ve got 13 clubs in the bag and I need either a 7 wood, 3H, 4H, a utility iron to fill a gap from 5 wood to 4I. My distant with a 5 wood according to a simulator is about 235 carry off the deck and 245 carry off a tee. 
 

When If I order a hybrid or utility iron, should the shaft be 3/4” longer than standard and the lie angle be +1 to match my irons or does this club usually follow more along the lines of your driver and woods?

I have a natural cut path and struggle to close the face. Presently, I’m on the PUP list and am hopeful to return to practice and play mid-to-late September. And I’ve got a plan to improve my club face at impact and to create a more neutral path once I get healthy.

Why don't you test a couple of different hybrids? That should give you your answer. 

Or... wait for it... you could always get fit for it. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

1. I did get fitted that’s how I got my iron, wood, and driver…then my supplier changed careers and I’ve gotta go out of town to get fitted. Unfortnately, I couldn’t afford all 14 clubs at one time so I’ve had to buy a few at a time.

 

2. my question wasn’t should I get a 3H or 4 hybrid…

 

3. why don’t you be less of an asshole and ….wait for it…just answer the question constructively.


4. if you consider this a studio question or easy answer, why don’t you save your time and not reply and leave me to wait for a reply from some that will actually be helpful.

And he didn’t say that either.

Dude, calm down. You don’t know the guy. He said nothing ass-holish. It’s a joke; most people go around asking for one-off advice about golf clubs that are very personal (like you have done). The best piece of advice is what he gave because there is no one-size fits all answer. Go try stuff out, and try not to be so defensive and think people are trying to be an asshole to you. People these days are so sensitive, especially in internet/social media spaces. 

The fact that he said “wait for it” does not evince ass-holery. Rather, it’s an indication that a common response is about to follow (again, see my remark above regarding asking about golf clubs). Or did you not catch that? Instead, you decided to call him a name? That says more about you, dude.

I apologize. 

I meant no offense.

    • I have no idea if he's any good or not. I've only ever seen him play one game. I will say he probably got bad advice going into the draft. He should have done all the "Combine Stuff" at the combine. Refusing to throw at that combine hurt.  I disagree about what his game film shows. I'm no expert, but I tried to watch as much as I could this weekend. I think it's really hard to find any game film on him that's worth a pile of beans. He's either playing really inferior competition in which case the game film is worthless. Or he's immediately running for his life the moment the ball is snapped. In which case the game film is worthless. He should have gone through the combine stuff. That was a huge mistake.  I do think it's a great pick for the Browns in the 5th round. Why not take him at that point? I think he has a chance to develop into something. Completing 75% of his passes, for 4100 yards, 37 TD's with only 10 picks behind that terrible offensive line is pretty good numbers. He may stink out loud at the next level, but being picked in the 5th round means he isn't a bust. He's just a 5th round pick that didn't work out.  If he stinks. Who cares? .... The Browns have had plenty of bad quarterbacks over the last 25 years. 
    • This is how I understand it should be done, just treat those holes as not played.
    • Shedeur Sanders and the Gulf Between Self-Perception and Draft Reality - The Ringer The Colorado quarterback approached the draft process like a sure-fire first-round pick. After an unprecedented free fall, it was clear the NFL’s... “His college tape looked like Caleb Williams without the elite physical arm talent,” an NFC coordinator said. “I’m sorry: You can’t play that game at this level. So, you’ve got to be banking on him making a jump from a decision-making, in-the-pocket, on-time, under-pressure [perspective], where you don’t have evidence of that on tape. That, to me, is why people are going to be nervous about him. He’s not going to extend plays the way he did at Colorado. Nobody does, unless you’re Lamar (Jackson), Josh Allen, Kyler (Murray). Those guys are elite athletes. He’s not. So, it’s going to be a very different game he’s asked to play. I’m not saying he can’t do it. But that’s where the hesitation is going to come into play.” There is an honest assessment of his game. He is a pocket passer, with bad processing, waiting for the WR to get open. You throw in the level of competition he was facing; you got to downgrade him some more.  Yep, he is 100% a developmental guy because he needs to learn how to play QB from the pre-snap to post-snap looks and then making quick smart decisions. 
    • This. Aaaannnnd.... this.  Our Wednesday Night league uses that MLR and it definitely helps pace of play.  The ONLY issue that we've ever had has now kind of gone away. A few years back they started using the rule and there were a number of arguments about if the person was hitting 4 or hitting 3. Some players were pretty adamant that they were now hitting 3. The folks who actually knew the rule of course knew that they should be hitting 4. I say that and also let you know that there were actually golfers who thought going OB means you drop near OB and are now hitting 3.  
    • I've come across a unique situation for handicapping, and with the changes to 10-17 hole round posting, I'm not 100% sure how to handle it. Right now, my home course is re-doing a few holes. 2 holes are playing to temporary greens (holes 4 and 9). I played in a match 2 days ago at this course, and the person that normally posts the scores has no idea how to handle this. I'm not entirely sure what he's thinking, but it seems like he's operating under the old rules where you'd just post par plus handicap strokes for any holes not played.  I think the correct way to do this now is not post scores for holes 4 and 9 and the expected score algorithm will take care of this. Is that correct? I've poked around the handicap manual and that seems to make the most sense, but the clarifications to handicap rule 3.2b are tripping me up a bit. As far as I know, the course has not gotten the CGA to do anything like temporarily re-rate the course or to tell everyone to score net par on the closed holes. I think that means we're in expected score land, but I wanted to see what others thought here.
