    I've been keeping an eye out for a reasonable priced 7wood, but they are the most elusive club, ESPECIALLY for us lefty's 😞 I've seen them for either $350 for new models, or up to $200+ for 5 year old models. How is this still possible?

    I believe i saw some lefty 7 woods on Facebook marketplace today.

    I’m definitely considering one, but more so out of curiousity than need.  It would be a 3 hybrid replacement, and I hit that club perfectly fine.  But, I’m always tinkering, and there is a Ping G430 in the clubhouse that always winks at me.

    Is it just me or is it hard to find a 7 wood with a stiff shaft off the rack in the big box stores?  They all seem to be R flex, or even senior.   I typically know what I want shaft wise though, I suppose I could just hit an R flex to get a feel and then just order what I want…

    Yep everytime I find a decent deal they have ladies or regular flex shafts.  Aggravating but I get it.

    Here’s a couple pictures of the Tour Edge E723 7 wood.

    I had a Cobra LTDx 7 wood prior to my current Tour Edge E723.  They are very different clubs.  Prior to the Cobra I had a Tour Edge XCG7 7 wood.

    The Cobra LTDx 7 wood has rails on the bottom but the biggest difference is the size of the head.  The Cobra LTDx looks like a very tiny driver.  Deep face, compact from heel to toe, fairly roundish looking and not that large from front to back.

    Here’s a couple of pictures comparing theTour Edge E723 and the Cobra LTDx 7 woods.

    The Tour Edge XCG7 has a very shallow face and a very flat looking, almost pancake shape.

    Here’s a couple of pictures comparing the E723 and the XCG7:

    The new E723 has a shape that is in between the two.  It has kind of a slightly triangular shape from front to back.  Shallower face than the Cobra LTDx. Slightly shorter from heel to toe than the XCG7.

    All three are easier for me to hit higher and straighter than a comparably lofted hybrid.

    My 24 degree hybrid flies lower than the 21 degree 7 wood.  

    Super cool.  I actually think the bigger head of the e723 looks harder to hit off turf. Opinion Solely off your pictures.

    I've been heavily debating adding a 7-wood to my bag rotation in replacement of my 2-iron. I'm trying to keep my eyes peeled for a good deal, but everything I've read about 7-wood makes me want to add one. Love my 2i, but I think it's always good to have options depending on the conditions/course, etc.

    I have a feeling a 2 iron will go further than a 7 wood.   I hit my old 2 iron the same as a 5 wood.

    Interesting! I mean if at all possible, hitting them head to head would be a great option if you have a PGASS or the like close by. They are probably a horse a piece, but feel can definitely vary.

    Unfortunately closest golf store is almost 2 hours away. closest pgass is 6 hours.
    Ive learned to find good deals and if they dont work out just sell for the same price to hopefully break even.

    @GolfSpy SAM just picked up a couple LTDx fairways. I have never owned one with the rails, but if it could possibly easier to hit than the AJ Max fairways I would truly be amazed. There are great deals to be had on the LTDx line right now though!

    The deals have me torn between aero and ltdx max. I did read an article that they got rid of the rails due to it interfering with the way the old powerbridge was engineered 🤷‍♂️

    I am beginning this season with a 5W as my only fairway wood, then I go to 5H. Once I have played enough with this setup, I can determine whether should add a 7W back to the bag. I gamed one for the past several years (a Cally Rogue Max ST) and loved it, so I suspect a return may be in the cards.  

    Plus 2 for rogue st max and 3 cobra Aerojet max     You guys have my attention 🤔

    Tour Edge Exotics E723 21 degree 7 wood is ridiculously easy to hit!
     

    Great for long par 3 tee shots.  It replaced my 3 iron and sits between my 16.5 degree 4 wood and 24 degree 5 hybrid.  
     

    It is paired with a Diamana Thump F85 stiff shaft.
     

    It is my 200 to 210 yard club and is excellent for approach shots that need to fly high and land soft.

    Ill check it out.  How far do you carry a 4 iron? I ask because I am hoping to replace mine with a 7 wood. 200-205 is my carry goal with a 7 wood.

    Cobra Aerojet Max. Easy to hit. Drops and stops. Good distance and a straight shooter. It is just so reliable. I had a Cobra F6 before this one, but this one is even better.

    Ive heard good things but not having the rails makes me a bit timid to buy one.  Have had my eye on the ltdx max.
