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.

see my answers below…

 

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.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
