Testing the Titleist GTS3 and TaylorMade Qi4D 7 woods against my Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke 3 hybrid to see whether a higher lofted fairway wood could be the better long club option.
To be fair I’ve gone down the persimmon and blades route this summer and absolutely love it! I have a 1,3 and 7 wood in persimmon and what a difference!!
I just bought a 7-Wood. Cobra Ds-Adapt with Denali Red shaft (Regular) (21.5°). My other clubs have a stiff shaft. Love it, reliable, probably for now the best club in my bag.
Glad this is working for you, Keith. I personally play a Wishon 7 wood and 9 wood in my bag actually converting the 9 wood to single length same as the 7 wood.
I also have a lovely Alpha Golf 11 wood that I play. A 7 iron replacement for me.
A friend of mine plays the Taylormade 9 wood - beautiful club!!
The object of this test was to compare these 7 woods with my 3 hybrid. The 7 wood performed better (for me) from a variety of different lies. The Qi4D 7 wood has been in the bag for 6 weeks or so now, and I have no regrets about making the switch. A super-versatile club. Your own experiences will undoubtedly be different.
A 7 wood just seems to exude confidence and I certainly would change….
It sounds like you're trying to make up your mind - is something holding you back?
As simple as cost
I was fortunate to find mine second-hand and in the right specification. Buying new clubs is an expensive business these days.
I hear you there!

Ditch all your fairway woods. Get a 16-19-22 hybrid instead.

It's become the favourite club in my bag. Even on windy days in St Andrews!
