My 7W is probably the best investment I’ve made to my game, especially as I got older. I had a 4 hybrid that goes about the same distance (200 yards), but I had an awful tendency pull-hook it. Admittedly that’s more me than the club’s fault, but I noticed the hybrid is easier to draw and exacerbates my hooks.
The 7W benefits (for me) are higher peak height and steeper descent angle to hold greens better, certainly higher than both my iron and hybrid. I use it everywhere - tee to fairway to rough.
I’m fortunate to have a Tom Wishon trained club fitter in Singapore, and I had him build my 3/5/7 woods using the Wishon 929HS head - the shallow face helps with the firmer fairway conditions here. The 7W is on a Fujikura Vista Pro 65S shaft, but I’m about to swap that out for a Motore X F3 6S as that allows me to swing a little more aggressively. The 929HS/Vista Pro combo was budget friendly, and allowed me to try out a 7W without breaking the bank.
