Went to the golf dome and hit my 7 wood for the first time this weekend, and it is stupid easy to hit! Very nice, square set up and cool clink sound at impact. This Wednesday, I will get an idea how far I hit it when I use the simulator. I'm still hoping for that 210-220 range, so we shall see.

one day i went to the driving range i could take my clubs i got a callaway ft-3 hybrid to hit i preffered it to my own hybrid which has a bigger head so i would go small headed hybrid much more versatile

I'm not confident I understood your post - other than small hybrid heads are better.

first of all... i am not an old man... lolz

i have driver/4w/7w/3h/4h on down and i love the combo... i also have a 3w i swap out every now and then depending on the course...

my 7w and my 3h are both 21° but i can hit my 7w about 15-20yrds farther...
the reason i looked into 4w/7w combos was i had serious distance gap issues and felt this was a workable solution for me...

i love my 4w and 7w
RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

I love my 7wood....I use it for my go to/safety club, I can hit high or low left or right. It is just comfortable to me.

For me, 7W is more like 3H (19*). I love my 3H for it's utility from any lie.

I'm actually thinking of yanking my 2 iron for a 7-wood... It's more versatile... and I'll be able to throw a 64 in the bag

That's what I did. I loved my 2 iron off the tee on tight holes or very long par 3s, but in all honesty, it was about 60% solid off the deck. This 7 wood with the steel shaft seems fail proof.

*EDIT Better make that a 61* Eye 2 bent to a 64. LOL

Looking at the Cobra Baffler Rail 2H to fill gap between 3 wood and 3 hybrid. Liked hitting at simulator yesterday. Other option is Ping 4 wood.

Did you ever get he Callaway Steelhead 4 and 7 wood? I have a Callaway Steelhead iii 4 and 7 wood with uniflex steel shafts for sale. $ 75 for the pair plus shipping. PM me if interested. .

The 7 wd will typically go higher and farther than the 2h, depending on fit.

I like a 21 7 wood over a 19-20 hybrid - more forgiving, easier to get up.

+1   I went to a 7W (and 5W) this year and benched my low-lofted hybrids with absolutely no regrets.  I have an average swing speed.

I have a steelhead 7w with the stock Callaway graphit  shaft (firm) I love it. I can hit high or low plus work it both ways. I never could find a hybrid that feels as good.

I am not a long hitter (Driver 200-225), but I had a 5W(175 yds) and a 4H(170 yds) in my bag and both had similar distance with different trajectories.  The 5W was a much higher launch... I didn't think that I needed two clubs with similar distances so I pulled the 5W and replaced it with a 2H(200 yds).

I needed a club to get out from under the trees and I can punch a 2H 150 - 200 yds. with a low trajectory.....

IMHO, the 2H does not replace the 5W for yardage, but it does provide another tool to enhance your game.

    • Day 6: lighter session today after a long day. Just some mirror work and slow swings to try to get my feels down. 
    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
