7 wood fever anyone?

[StateOfMyArt]

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.

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).

Currently have a Callaway Rogue ST Max 7W (21*). It's a stiff shaft and I could do with XS, so I'll replace it when funds allow. Not sure what I'd go for, but the TSR2 is high on the list.

I love my rogue st drivers.  If you go to sell that rogue 7 wood send me a message please.

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.

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?

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.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

I appreciate it! I've been keeping my eye on callaway preowned, 2ndswing and global golf. I do have a paradym 7w in my cart right now in "average" condition. I'm hoping if i pull the trigger on this one it won't show up with tone of scratches/sky marks on it. I want that canvas all to myself to scratch up

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!

Absolutely! There's a good chance I'll replace it fairly soon.

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. Steel shaft, steel head, and is my go to club off the tee box on a dog leg right. 

[gkcapers]

Just ordered a Taylormade Q10 7 wood to add to my bag.  The club was excellent in the Trackman simulator and hoping it will carry over to the course.

I highly recommend the Ping G430 7 Wood.  Ball flight and distance are $$$$.

I’ve been looking for a used g430 for a while with a stiff shaft. Hard to find. I was hoping to find one down here at the beach but haven’t had a chance to go club shopping. 

[TylorJudd]

Trying to find a TSr2 7 wood has also been a difficult task. Really don’t want to buy new, especially with a DI shaft

[unccross]

Finally got a chance to hit a 7 wood and hit it well in the bay. Bought me a tsr2 21 stiff. Hopefully I will hit it just as good on the course 

[gkcapers]

Put my Taylormade Qi10 7 wood into play for my first round of  the season and I love it!  The ball jumps off the face with a great ball flight!  Definitely worth the investment.

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. 

[Swood1994]

I'm sure after everyone watching Max Homa striping his 7-wood around Augusta people will have the fever more than ever!

[MN_Hacker]

Sunday will be my first real round with my Paradym 7w, and I'm hoping it's as awesome on the course as it's been on the range and in the simulator.

If you're looking to try out a 7 wood but don't want to pay a lot for something new, might I suggest this MaltbyKE4 TC Pro FW Pak - https://www.golfworks.com/maltby-ke4-tc-pro-ist-fairway-wood-paks/p/pma0346/. For the money, you can't beat it. I'm giving it a go when it arrives soon.

I wanted to try that, but CPO got me with a new Paradym 7w.  

I have the HyWay 21* from Maltby that is a go-to at my lake place when I carry 6-7 clubs.

These are like unicorns trying to find one on the used market

[unccross]

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.
