I use a Maltby 7 wood and have used it since last year and it is my go-to club in tight situations. I also use it in place of hybrids as I don't carry any and plus I can hit it out of deep rough with the same ease as a hybrid, for me. I get a very high ball flight with mine as I put a shaft on it for that reason and can get around 220 out of it on average. For me it is one of those clubs I know on very tight tee shots 9 times out of 10 I am putting it just about where I want it to go, big confidence booster club.

I use a 7w and no hybrids, long end is driver 10.5, 4w 16, 7w 20. My well struck ball range with the 7w is 215-230. Basically I use it for anything out of 4i range, tight tee shots, recoveries and approaches on short par 5's. Home course has a sub 500 yd par 5. Also have a 3-4h but where I play the fairways work through long grass better with less risk of popups.


What a difference a few months make. I've swallowed even more pride and went to a 43" driver 12, 3w 15, 5w 18 and 7w 21. Took out the 4i even though I hit it well, but I am at 14 clubs with 5-PW 50 54 58.

I am absolutely amazed by this Adams Tight Lies 7w thus far.  So easy to launch with a high draw.  I usually feel I have to set up way open and hit a fade to get any height at all with a fairway wood.  I can just take my normal set up and swing with this thing.  I can hit it out of just about any lie.  It is easier to hit than a 3h for me and I launch it higher and a bit farther.  I will continue to test and write up a review on this thing next week.

So how does the 7w fit in your set up?

I needed something I could advance the ball from longer distances from the thick stuff.

Other than that here the are distances off the deck :

3W: 220-235(depending if I can hit anything higher than a stinger, right now it is only 220-225.  I need a little blue pill for this club at the moment)

7W: 215ish maybe 220 on a warm day.

4H: 200

I heard McDowell interviewed after his -2 round at the US Open today. He hit a 3 hybrid from the rough to the 18th green, so I'm guessing he's not a 7-wood man. All a matter of personal preferences, of course, but it's interesting to see how these "easier" clubs are making their way into top players' bags.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
