7 Woods

 

Versatility Meets Forgiveness

The 7 wood is a highly versatile fairway wood, perfect for golfers seeking higher launch, softer landings, and consistent distance from a variety of lies. Typically featuring around 21 degrees of loft, the 7 wood bridges the gap between long irons and hybrids, offering more forgiveness and an easier swing path than a 3 or 5 wood. With a higher trajectory and added control, the 7 wood is an ideal choice for reaching long par 3s or setting up birdie chances on par 5s.

About 7-Woods (and Heavenwoods)

What Makes 7-Woods (and Heavenwoods) Special?

A 7-wood is a fairway wood with a higher loft (usually around 21 degrees) designed to launch the ball high and land it softly, making long approach shots much less intimidating. It’s like the friendly, easygoing cousin of the long iron. They are super forgiving and confidence-boosting, whether you’re in the fairway or light rough. If you want a club that makes long shots feel almost effortless, the 7-wood can be your new best friend!

What About the Heavenwood?

While similar in purpose, a Heavenwood is its own unique club. It typically features:
  • A slightly higher loft than a standard 7-wood (usually around 22 degrees),
  • A slightly longer shaft than a 5-wood, giving you extra clubhead speed and distance.

This combo makes the Heavenwood even easier to launch high with soft landings, while offering just a bit more power than a 7-wood. It's still in the high-launch, high-forgiveness category, but with a little more reach.

Who Might Benefit from a 7-wood?

A 7-wood can be a game-changer for golfers who:

  • Struggle with long irons or hybrids and want an easier, higher-launching club.
  • Need more forgiveness and confidence on longer approach shots from the fairway or light rough.
  • Prefer a club that lands softly on greens, making it easier to hold tricky pin positions.

What are the advantages of using a 7-wood over a hybrid?

A 7-wood flies higher, lands softer, and is generally easier to hit consistently, especially when attacking greens, while hybrids are more versatile from tricky lies and rough.

What are the main benefits and trade-offs?

The 7-wood is super easy to launch high with soft landings and is very forgiving, but it’s less versatile from tough lies and can spin more, meaning less rollout compared to a hybrid.
