If you can handle Mizuno MPs, you should have no trouble hitting a 3 wood or a 2 hybrid at all. Buy whatever fills your gaps the best.

Sometimes I do slice my shots, but most of it are fades approximately 10-15 yards off to the right of target. I don't really like fade, I like draw. Perhaps I'm just being too anal. But now I'm getting the occasional hooks.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

10-15 yards off to the right of target is a slice

10-15 yards off the target is a slice to you? How about a push slice should be to you? Just 20-25 yards off the target? What would a fade be? 5 yards dead on?? Wow, I honestly think you should go to pro if you can stick to those yardages, really. All power to you.

Well you know what? Apparently I have my own standards and you have yours. Can't have someone else bump in and say that 5 yards off to the right is a slice. That just ain't right. Edit: If this matters, the ball flew straight and traveled to 10-15 yards off to the right, not typically left to right.

A fade starts slightly left of the target and falls slightly right, for a right hander. A push slice starts right od the target and goes right of the initial starting line.

5 yards is a probably a fade.

This may sound a bit odd, but I took my Taylormade Burner 3 wood and had the shaft cut 1 1/2 inches. I've got the shorter swing arc and more control that a hybrid offers, but with the bigger mass of the 3 wood clubhead I've not lost all that much distance.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
