Deacon Doc Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have found the 7 wood actually ended up replacing my 3 hybrid. I hit the ball just as long with a significantly higher trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTVMAN Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Just changed my woods and hybrids this week. Dropped my Ping G410 5W and 4-5-6H for G425 5W, 7W & 9W. I hit my G425 driver 230 yds for comparisons, and just couldn't get my 4H in the air. My 5H was OK and I never used the 6H, as I prefer my i500 6 iron. Off the tee I hit my 4H 185 yds, and off the ground I'm hitting the 7W 185 yds! The 9 is going 175 yds, with the 5W at 200 yds. Plus the height and soft landings are great. Glad I made the changes.

GilB Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've been using playing an older Cleveland Launcher 7-wood for years now and absolutely love it but I just bought a new Tour Edge C721 7-wood and really like this one too. The Cleveland Launcher has a more compact head which I prefer but the idea of this whole thing is I can hit about 200 yards and it's flight is high and lands soft. And, I can maneuver the flight from straight to a little draw to a slight fade. Very useful club and highly recommend you give it a try.

canecorso303 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Hi HAC! I’m a lefty, as well! I understand your pain! I, too, have been struggling with my 3h. This year I pulled it out of my bag and added a 7w. I am plying a Callaway Rogue ST Max and I am loving it. It is about 5-10 yards longer than my old 3h, but I am ok with that. Previously, I had about a 30 yard gap from my 3h to my 5w. It has improved my gapping as well. Much easier to hit consistently. I’m still gaming a 4h.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Mentioned it in my WITB, however put the 7 wood back in the bag. Have it lofted to 21 and weight in the front to help give it a more penetrating flight. It was good and played as it should. I still have some struggles with it, but maybe I will finally just get use to this club and it will be a mainstay in my bag.

GolfSpy_APH Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 What was everyones deciding factor on going to a 7 wood vs other options. For me it was just a shot in the dark to try and find something for this end of the bag and I loved my F7 3 wood so thought what the heck why not try. I do enjoy it overall. However would love to hear the reasons many of you decided to go with 7 wood vs other options in this part of the bag!

However would love to hear the reasons many of you decided to go with 7 wood vs other options in this part of the bag! About 8 years ago I went to Golf Shop for new grips. There was bins of used clubs and one bin for LH. There was a Tour Edge 7w in there that looked lonely and lost for $29.95 it went home with me. It’s been in and out of the bag since, it’s in right now. Recently picked up a G425 5w with loft set to max so almost a 7w. It’s earmarked as a successor to the Tour Edge.

drbogeyman Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Bought the Bombtech 7 wood last spring, figured what the heck, for $87 if I didn't like it it could lean against the wall in the garage with some other "buddies!"
