One man, one club, one camera, one tripod, one take! That was a very good demonstration of the versatility of that 7 wood. So many interesting ways to use it. thank you
7 wood has become one of my favorite clubs in my bag this year. would be fun to try this out. I’m terrible from 50 yards in so the 7 wood bump and run is a shot i’ve been playing a lot lol
@ryanlindsay4246 I lofted my 5 wood up to 20° and put a 3 wood shaft on it to mimic the specs of a Heavenwood. It's a wildly accurate & easy to hit club. Even my mishits are decent. Definitely becoming one of my favorite clubs in the bag
I'm 60 years old and have been playing golf for 45 years. When I was a kid I worked as a caddy at a local country club. When we had our "caddy day", (yes it was pretty much like Caddyshack) they had a raffle and I won an old persimmon 7 wood. As I said, that was 45 years ago and I've ALWAYS carried a 7 wood. Call it a cheat club if you like. I also carry what many people call a cheat stick, a chipper. I use what makes the game easier and both a 7 wood and a chipper make the game easier.
@@MrYutbe57 It's basically a putter with the loft of a 7 or 8 iron. Very upright shaft angle & an extra Wide sole makes it very hard but not impossible to chunk.
@@MrYutbe57 I use it close around the greens or I can run something up from a little further. it's mostly 1 dimensional, but its a shot that a lot of people struggle with. I've gotten pretty deadly with mine and that is very confidence inspiring. That shot doesn't worry me anymore.
GREAT VIDEO Miles! Showed many ways that I'm going to try with my Taylor Made 7 W. Especially around the green. Have been mostly using it @ the Tee box. Thanks!
I thought I was about the only one who recognized the real value of these fairway clubs. I have the Ping G430 Max from driver to 9 wood. I can hit that Ping 7 235 yards with incredible height and accuracy , which I'm not able to pull off with an iron equivalent nearly as often. I'm so impressed with the ease of use and versatility. The 5 wood actually has enough distance to cover a 3 wood, but with so much better control. These are truly clubs that help lower scores.
This was one of those Ah Ha! Videos for me Miles. I’m reassessing my bag. Everything is coming out and the 7W and mallet putter are the first two clubs to go back in. Every other club will need to earn its place.
If anything Miles, this shows the value of being realistic, and getting the best out of any club you intend to use,as they all are versatile and definitely overlap in so many ways.cheers 😇
My 7 wood is pretty awesome but the 9 wood is an absolute weapon. After I get into trouble off the tee, it's a great feeling when I pure a towering baby draw into the green and they mishit irons and wedges, lol.
I like to find times when nobody is pressuring the course. I go out and play two balls, a white one and a yellow one. These rounds are for practice. I find practicing on the course is very informative feedback on how I am using / not using good strategy and if I am picking the correct clubs for particular shots. It helps my overall performance when I play with my regular group. The 7W? I love them. I play a 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 11W, 8, 9, PW, SW, LW. That is my way of dinking it into the short grass and getting a decent score.
I have a Callaway 7 wood I’ve been using for about 10 years. I usually hit it as long as most people I play with’s 3 or 5 wood from the fairway plus I can hit a high cut that stops on the green. May be my favorite club in the bag. Great video
I have been carrying a Ping 7 Wood for about 3 years now. It really is a great club. It will never leave my bag. That being said I do carry several woods. I have a 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 woods.
I bought a 7 wood about a month ago and love it. It's good for 185m or 200 yards when i hit it well. Use it off the tee or on long approach shots at the green lands with very little rollout, an absolute gem.
I just bought a 7 wood. Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed watching you. You seemed to be having fun. I'm going to try and use just a 7 wood and a putter next time I'm out. Looking forward to it.
I use the Callaway Epic 3,5, and 7 woods. My best move, although there are times I miss my 3 and 4 irons. The more I use the 7, the better I hit the 5 and 3 woods. The lie and distance tell me what wood to hit. Wonderful demonstration with the 7 W!
Lovely Vlog, made me smile lots. Brings back great memories of my time in the RN and spending time at HMS Dryad. Sent many an hour both on the golf course and fishing for carp on the lake. Thank you so much, a no brainier to subscribe and enjoy more like this as enjoyed the golf instruction too and yes I do have a 7 wood but need to use it more often !!
love all the comments on here about playing mainly woods instead of irons. I also love my 7 wood and have replaced most of my irons with Lazarus hybrid woods. they are so easy and fun to hit.
This was wonderful to watch. I love it's simplicity and straight forwardness. Thank you for demonstrating the versatility of the 7w. I am in the process of rebuilding the top end of my bag. My new driver (AI Smoke Max) is providing confidence and distance. I traded my 3w for a 3HL (as my "mini driver") and now looking to add the 7w. Can you share how your club is built?
I carry a 5 and 7 wood, both fantastic for long fairway and long par 3 tee shots, and the 7 great out of rough, went back to them as didn't get on with rescue clubs.
I carry a 7 wood and a 9 wood in my bag, basically because I really never hit long irons very well. I find the 7w and 9w easy to hit well, and they fill the gap for 3i, 4i and 5i. I am a rightie, but I putt left handed with a cross grip. My bag usually has Driver, 5w, 7w 9w, 6i, 7i, 8i 9i PW, SW, 60°W and Putter, which is only 12 clubs, so I also carry a left-handed 6i which can come in handy for the occasional time I end up in the wrong side of a tree.
I have had a 7 wood for many years. I got a new one a few weeks ago which goes 180 - 200 yards. I am 78 and 5'6. My old one went 175 max so I am now planning to get a 9 wood.
my Cobra 5/6 W (13.5*)is my go to fairway finder. A great recovery club, great from the rough, and solid 225yd forgiving stick. It's great for shot shaping also.
Great video Miles hi to have played Southwick many times could you do a video on 40 yards from the Green 60 yards from the Green and 100 yards for the Green? I am trying to tidy this up to lower my handicap .regards Eddy
I thought you were going to putt with the 7 wood. I have driver, 3, 5 and 7 wood. I call my 7 wood the go to club when I want to put the ball in play, the fairway finder. But recently I have been hitting my 5 wood well and in play often. I also find with my 7 wood I tend to hit it and it goes a bit left. I am happy that I got the 7 wood, and now thinking of gettting a 9 wood, but they don't make that for my Mavrik set.
I built a 7, 9 and 11 wood when Callaway came out with them year's ago. Definitely can save you some strokes, just play around with different size shafts and flex until it's a money club.
used 7 wood ping 425 for quite a few years best club in the bag , struggle off tee at moment as going right. Not so good in the wetter months unless sat up a little . Don’t forget the 9 wood can be just as good .
Hi thanks for this video I am in my 80s and have a 7 wood that I use from after my driver for the rest of the hole, at my age it is a great go to club, but I do have trouble using it off the tee? What is the right position of the ball in that situation please as I think I am all over the place with that problem, I am in NZ and lucky enough to play all year round in most cases. Many thanks
went looking for a 7w after this, and a few other videos and articles. seems like a rare club, but our proshop had 1 demo in rotation, being played by one of the teaching pros. he loved it. gave it to me to try, then to game. i bought it after a few epic strokes. Ping g430. it's the bomb.
Great use of 7 wood I have an old big Berther 9 wood and use ion par 4s if I’m in rough on second shot . ... also for chipping on I push the ball to right, what set up for that shoot would you recommend .
Top vid Miles, +1 is class in those holes with 2 clubs! Noticed the speed of your pre-shot routine, perhaps part due to your hatred of editing, but can you do something on the different styles of pre-shot routine that players use and why they might choose them? Also something on pros/cons of 7W vs Hybrid would be cool
Massive difference ! 7 wood is a sweeping motion behind the ball, picking up at lowest point in swing Hybrid you get your hands forward and compress with a similar strike to a 4 iron
I got a 7 and a 9 wood - brilliant clubs. IMO all amateur golf should be preferred lies - we play on very average courses with some players who dont do the right thing - unlike Pros that play on perfect courses where caddies always do the right thing.
I can’t wait for you to come up a bit more and possibly get a bit better equipment because as I low handicap golfer I love watching someone knowledgeable about the dynamics of the game… you, my friend, I could listen to talk for hours about golf
What is the difference between the 3 hybrid versus the 7 wood? They both seem to give you the same distance. I have both but I removed my 7 wood in favor of my hybrid. Thanks!
Modern 7 woods are basically the same loft and length of 5 woods from the '70's and '80's. The 5 wood was the do-all utility wood of that era, good from all kinds of lies. You could even use it off the tee if you were wayward with your longer woods. Modern 7 woods do the same job.
I love my 7 wood and refer to it as a "cheat" club also...200-205 yards fairway every time....another shot I've worked on you all may want to try....I always carry a 2 iron and I have a shot where I basically hit a half swing low draw...goes about 180-200 yards and is a dream to use off the tee on short par 4's or as a second shot laying up on par 5's...you don't need a full swing to hit the ball 200 yards...I'm no young guy...53 years old and just trying to learn new shots because I know my time of a full hard swing is coming quickly to an end...hope this is helpful :)
It’s not a cheat. It’s a conscious decision to take some other less useful club out and replacing it with a 7 wood which is a great club for many situations.
and a day without sunshine is like...................................................................................................................................................... night !!!!!!

I don’t have a 7 but do love my 9. I don’t know how I managed so lag without it!
Yeah,a 9 wood is a great toy!!
I hit my Spalding 9 wood off the tee on tight holes, goes over 200 and so easy to control
Well done Miles. I use a 7 wood for a variety of distances by choking up and down but never chipped as you did….definitely worth a try!🇨🇦

It seems that 'cheat' is the new code in golf .. and playing gplf with friend is more fun ehh
Good chip and run. Not taught enough.
shame about the aerated/sandy greens.
Crappy greens!
Just means you cant hit your irons....
Hitting irons .why would you when woods make it easier it’s called progress mate
What a silly comment! The point of the game is to get the ball in the hole with the least amount of strokes, not hitting a certain club doing it...
Oh does it
