In our forums, our members have been responding to a post giving a glowing reference for 7-woods. WRXer ‘Tee1Up4’ recently picked up a Ping G425 7-wood to replace his hybrid and has been blown away by the results, saying:
“Picked up a G425 7 wood to replace my 3 hybrid. My hybrid used to be my go-to club. I had such confidence with it. It’s almost like as I got to be a better player, I just got worse and worse with it. Finally picked up a 7 wood and WOW! Wish I’d done it way sooner. Point of this post is for anyone wondering if they should try the 7 wood… the answer is yes!”

- Flyer712: “I actually just placed an order for a g425 7 wood yesterday with Ventus blue. Pretty pumped, but the 5-6 week wait is going to be torture…”
- blkjazz: “Yep. I figured it out two years ago when I bought my 917 7 wood. It is now my favorite club.”
- wchahn: “I just added a PXG Proto 7 wood to replace my 3 hybrid. The 3 hybrid was just too close to the 4 hybrid to be useful. I’m using a heavenwood shaft length, and it fits the gap between my 3 wood and 4 hybrid perfectly. After 3 rounds, it’s working well. I was worried about hitting out of iffy lies, where I used to use my hybrid but so far so good.”
- JohnKHawk: “I’ve had a 7 wood in the bag until 2017 when the Cobra OS 3-4 hybrid was released. It never really got much love here, but I liked it so much I have a backup in case it breaks. It blurs the line between a hybrid & fairway. Really fits my eye. There is just a nice natural looking size progression between my Cobra 5 wood, the Cobra OS & my Cobra 5 hybrid.”
