TG8 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Hey guys, what is your favorite 7 fairway wood and why? Wanting something super easy to hit. I love my Frankenstein cobra f8 5/6 wood head with a 7 wood shaft. Myself and two buddies swear the cobra rails on the bottom make it effortless to hit.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Cobra Aerojet Max. Easy to hit. Drops and stops. Good distance and a straight shooter. It is just so reliable.

johngschulz Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I actually got a circa 2000ish Big Bertha Steelhead III 4+ wood and a 7 wood in great shape from Callaway Pre/owned late last year.

Willie T Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Don’t have one “at the moment” - but all the love being shown this club has made me think about changing it up a little.

Wheelieb Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I've got the PXG 0311 proto 5 and 7 woods from like 2 years ago. That 7 wood is a game changer for me as it fits nicely between my 5 iron and 5 wood. may try and see if I can try some new ones out, but getting those two out of the bag will be a chore for any 7 or 5 wood.

BobBC78 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I am beginning this season with a 5W as my only fairway wood, then I go to 5H.
