“It's tough to find anything better than the seven wood.”
Head-to-head against the 5-wood, the 7-wood wins as the more versatile scoring club and even puts his own long-time gamer in jeopardy.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Much higher apex and steeper descent so it holds firm greens
- +Easiest club to shape, he could genuinely cut one up and take distance off
- +Bigger head and extra loft make it far better out of rough and bad lies
- −Low-face strikes lose more distance than with the 5-wood, one dropped to 232
- −Hard to get extra yardage out of it when you need to reach a long par 5
- −Needs to be built shorter than traditional and with a heavier tip-cut shaft to control spin
For: Almost everyone as a utility club bridging irons and woods, especially players facing 220-yard approaches over trouble who lack confidence with a long iron
