StateOfMyArt Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I picked up a Wilson D9 7-wood last season and I have to say that I love it. Reasonably priced, good looking at address and very easy for me to hit with confidence. Check it out if you are still looking. TG8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Indispensable in the bag. I had a Cobra 7 wood for many years, 2 years ago updated to a Ping G425 7 wood which has a 22 degree loft. I love it, for me I use it for up to say 165 yards, but also on shorter Par3, lets say 140-150, I will put it out and take something off the swing speed (to avoid irons off the tee). I love the arc and it stops on the green like an iron. I am even considering a 9 wood that Ping has now, but i have not been able to find a place that I can demo it and get potentially fitted. I often times use this instead of the 5 wood and just then take a slightly longer approach shot it (as the 7 wood I can keep in play more often give it is easy to hit).

Nick_Keller12 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I have a PXG 0311 7 wood and absolutely love it. One of the best clubs in my bag whether I’m hitting it off of the tee or in the fairway. Gives me a lot of birdie opportunities on par 5s and such. I can’t see myself not having a 7 wood in the bag.

How is this still possible? Just checked Callaway pre-owned and they have last years Paradym left handed Heavenwoods and 7 woods for less than $200. The bigger problem may be if you need a stiff shaft as the shafts are regular or light. You could buy one of these clubs and a shaft on the pre-owned, but as you indicated that would get the price above $200. I have used pre-owned for a long time and they sell the clubs as is, so they haven't been willing to swap the shaft out for you. I actually bought my Epic Heavenwood as a ladies club as it's the same head and bought a separate shaft. At the time the ladies clubs were way cheaper and I saved overall vs buying a mens club straight up. They have since closed that loophole! BTW, the shaft problem is the same for right and left handers. Tough to find a 7 wood with stiff shaft unless ordered new.

Golf2Much Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 One might say I carry two 7 wood-ish clubs in my bag. My normal 7 wood is a Ping G with a senior shaft. For me, it's my 150-155 yard club. I also carry a Callaway GBB Epic Heavenwood delofted 2 degreed (20 to 18 degrees) to make it like a five wood. I like the slightly bigger head and slightly longer shaft the Heavenwood offers. My Heavenwood is my "go to" fairway wood. Today I didn't play my best, except for two par threes. My Ping G 7 wood performed well on our 13th hole which was playing 148 yards into a 20+ mph constant wind. With the back pin placement, I was pin high 12 feet away. I missed the birdie but more importantly collected $10 for closest to the pin! unccross, Michael.Sandoval33, G-Ram and 1 other 4 Quote Ping G430 Max driver 10.5 degrees with an Alta Quick45 gram senior shaft Callaway Epic 3 wood, Project X Evenflow Green 45 gram senior shaft Callaway GBB Epic Heavenwood, with a Mitsubishi Diamana 50 gram senior shaft Ping G 20.5 degree 7 wood, with a stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Ping G 26 degree hybrid, stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Callaway Paradym X irons, 7-AW with Aldila Ascent Blue 50 graphite shafts Edison wedges: 50, 55 and 60 degree, KBS Tour Graphite A flex shafts Putters: L.A.B.

Nick804 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 One of my favorite clubs is a 7 wood I pulled out of a pond on a course 20 years ago as a child. It is nothing special.

SloadieGolf40 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I've been looking for a 7 wood for a few months now and I finally bought an Epic Flash Heavenwood off of ebay, but didn't realize how big the heavenwood head is; It looked too similar to my TS2 3wood head and shaft was too heavy and stiff for me. So, returned that and now waiting on a used Paradym 7W coming in a few days. I really like the shallow faces of the Callaway, Cobra and Ping fairways. Feels/looks really easy to hit off the ground.

unccross Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Really impressed with my new 7 wood so far! First shot on the course was 215 out, 2nd shot on a par 5, and put it on the green! Unfortunately 3 putted for a par. Also used it off the tee a couple of times. One on a short dogleg hole that give me a fit. 230 or so in the fairway. The other I pulled into the trees. I’m really happy so far. I’ve really struggled with fairway woods and had completely taken them out of my bag. Quote Jnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
