Should I use a 7 Wood or a Hybrid? What's the difference?

Looking to upgrade your golf clubs? In this video, we discuss the differences between a hybrid and a seven wood. The seven wood offers a bigger head, providing a higher launch and more stability for those wobbly shots. On the other hand, the hybrid is more versatile and feels like an iron.

As always I enjoy your video's Mark, I use both 7 and 24 degree hybrid, now that i am getting up there in years my swing speed has really slowed down so i just can't hit the 3 and 4 irons.

I recently switched from a 3 and 4 hybrid into a 7 and 9 wood (PING). I’m still learning how far I hit each club, but both launch WAY higher, and are amazing from the rough. My club in Toronto is a Stanley Thomson with many of his signature elevated greens, and significant elevation changes generally. These new woods have changed many holes for the better.

Heck, throw in a 9 wood too while you are at it. They are super confidence-inspiring, and don't seem to be a draw biased as most hybrids.

I searched and found a brand new Cobra F9 7 wood never been hit, £130 best move I ever made, absolutely changed my game and handicap for the better ! 230-235 off the tee into wind and longer with wind behind and relatively straight. You can fade/draw shots flight shots lower, even use for chip shots around the green……… I concur with Mark, GET ONE!!

[randallpennington]

Great video! I prefer hybrid due to shorter shaft for more control. My driver and 3 wood are shorter than standard. Gained distance with them due to contact with better spots on the face.

Golfers tend to let tradition and manufacturers restrict them to golf club norms and not to think laterally. That is why it took many decades before hybrids were created and became mainstream. So there is nothing to stop one to take a seven wood and put in an appropriate four hybrid or other length shaft in it, or even vice versa with four hybrid and seven wood shaft! If it works for the correct gapping distance required and it gives consistently good results and suits your eye, that is all you want!

Strange to do a video comparing two clubs but only showing one of them

[ski]

Would love to see a comparison of the ZXII FW/Hybrids with the G430 line performance wise. Slower swing mid HC here and would welcome your thoughts…

The top end of my bag now consists of a BRNR mini driver (13.5), Ping 5, 7 and 9 fairways and Ping 6 and 7 Hybrids. My next longest iron is an 8. Many moons ago I used to carry 1, 2 and 3 irons. Modern fairways and hybrids are so much easier to hit for me in my 70s.

[paulcanting]

Quick question, a 5w and a 7w will substitute a 3 and a 4 iron and/or a 3 and a 4 hybrid?

[mwsports]

Can always rely on Mark to give the sensible angle

[johncho]

100%. For sure
Young player better hybrid
Senior for sure. 7 wood
Senior shaft much much better club 😊😊

[seanconnors]

I think it is a shame that the golf industry and the golf retailers really do not promote higher lofted fairway woods. At most of the golf retailers in the United States, you are lucky if you can find a higher lofted fairway wood (7W and above) on the shelf in even a regular flex shaft. You will have an easier time finding a unicorn than ever finding one with a stiff or extra stiff shaft.

Most of the demo carts or demo days won’t even have higher lofted fairway woods, or if they do, they will be 99.99% of the time be in senior or ladies flex.

I am signed up for a Callaway demo event this Saturday and I’m interested in higher lofted fairway woods. I will be shocked if they have any, and even more so if any of the ones they do have anything other than a senior or ladies flex.

4 hybrid for me. Prefer the shorter shaft and perceived increased control this gives me. Perception is everything 😂

[stephendibari]

Awesome breakdown but a sample comparison of 5 to 10 shots with each club and a chart showing typical ball & club data with dispersion would’ve made this much better.

[stone]

in the 23 degrees I stay with my hybrid. but my 18 degrees hybrid I took out of my bag and replaced it with a 5W and I am happy with that

[GOLFADDICT]

great video....I am leaning to the 7 wood....cheers from Canada

[mikes]

My bag make up is bunched up now :(. My 5 iron (23.5) goes the same distance as my hybrid (22) and my 7 wood (21)

[garylucas]

Can you please tell me if I have the 7 wood reduced by 1/2 inch when ordered do they add more weight elsewhere to keep the same swing weight …many thanks

[whiskeytangosierra]

7 wood hands down, never stood over a hybrid that I didn't think, "that's really ugly" and that effects ones' shot. Far more useful than the 3 and/or 4 iron the 7 replaces.
