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.

A 2 hybrid is more like 17*, at least that's what mine is and I rip that baby long right into the wind piercing.

+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.


Posted

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.

I replaced my 16.5° 4 Wood with a 16° 2 Hybrid.  I just simply make better contact with the hybrid, and therefor I get better distance out of it.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
