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.

    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.
