What is your 7-wood setup and why? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

4 years ago

Feb 8, 2022

In our forums, our members have been discussing their 7-wood setups. WRXer ‘Mackepa’ is currently testing a couple of 7-woods and kicks off the thread saying:

“I’m tinkering with a couple 7-woods in hopes of having something I can hit high and soft from 220+. I think by far I’ve liked the Ping G425 7 wood the best. The lowest loft setting really opens the face and gives me a great look at address.

Biggest issue I’ve found is that most manufacturers are going to produce 7-woods with a little more upright lie angle and shut face, which makes sense for the masses. Have you played around with higher lofted fairway woods, and what did you go with?”

And our members have been sharing their experiences with their 7-woods in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

glm: “Mine had been in the bag for about 10 years. It’s not going anywhere. Ping G20, 21 degrees.”
SC-TX 88: “I just moved into a 7-wood to try and better fill the spot between 3 wood and 4 iron. I had been playing a P770 3 iron built as more of a driving iron with a Nippon GOST shaft. I went with the TSI2 7 wood, turn down to 20.75 with the Tensei AV Raw White 85 TX 2.0 (tipped at 1.5” and just playing standard Titleist length). It’s been the easiest to hit club I’ve ever owned. I bought it for a 240 shot, and it does exactly that; I can throw it up in the air and land and hold a green.”
matt70296: “TaylorMade SIM Max 7 wood with a Diamana BF 70X. Absolutely love it. High launching 235-yard club for me. Driver SS is around 113-115 when it’s not Chicago winter.”
dmeeksDC: “I only play adjustable 7-woods due to so many being set up to hook in stock configurations. Mine is a 215-220 club. The key for me was getting a stiff, lower torque shaft since I did not want to boost launch. Currently have two, a Cobra F9 with an Aldila RIP Phenom 80 stiff and a Callaway Epic Flash with a Diamana Kai’li 80 stiff (the OG Kai’li). I can play them interchangeably. The Cobra is better on ragged golf courses. Any lie, and it’s fine.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
