Hybrid is the way to go. I have Callaway XHot 3 and 4 hybrids. Love 'em. I have actually found them to be pretty workable too. I can go high, low, draw, fade just like my old irons, but I am way more consistent as far as ball striking.

This yardage is my crux. I have 4 wedges, and a 3&5 wood, so I do not have a 3 iron. I either have to bust a 4 iron, or lay off a 5 wood...

But the trade-off is I have more versitility from the yardages that really count...125 and in. I would suggest you strengthen your 4 iron in your case.

Check out the Srixon U65, it's a utility driving iron type that they make in 20 & 23 deg. I think it looks awesome

This is pretty darn close to me as well. But it has more to do with the course I play most often. There's no need for me to have a 3 wood and 5 wood so I carry an extra wedge.

I had that club for a while. Felt awesome! Only issue is the stock shaft sucks. And the tip is 355 so good luck finding something else good to go in it

If you are really good with your wedges, there's no shame in laying up to a comfortable number, say 75-80yds, and sticking the approach. Secret to lower golf scores, for most amateurs, is eliminating the big numbers on holes.

what does this mean?

you shouldn't be trying to help the ball get up, that sounds like your problem. go out and hit your 3 W and try to make a divot after the ball.

Tight lies. The ball isn't sitting up in the fairway often.
