I'm 60 years old and have been playing golf for 45 years. When I was a kid I worked as a caddy at a local country club. When we had our "caddy day", (yes it was pretty much like Caddyshack) they had a raffle and I won an old persimmon 7 wood. As I said, that was 45 years ago and I've ALWAYS carried a 7 wood. Call it a cheat club if you like. I also carry what many people call a cheat stick, a chipper. I use what makes the game easier and both a 7 wood and a chipper make the game easier.

One man, one club, one camera, one tripod, one take! That was a very good demonstration of the versatility of that 7 wood. So many interesting ways to use it. thank you

He also used the 7 wood as a selfie stick. The most versatile club I've ever seen😳

7 wood has become one of my favorite clubs in my bag this year. would be fun to try this out. I’m terrible from 50 yards in so the 7 wood bump and run is a shot i’ve been playing a lot lol

@ryanlindsay4246 I lofted my 5 wood up to 20° and put a 3 wood shaft on it to mimic the specs of a Heavenwood. It's a wildly accurate & easy to hit club. Even my mishits are decent. Definitely becoming one of my favorite clubs in the bag

And two Trumpesque gimme putts.

My 7 wood is pretty awesome but the 9 wood is an absolute weapon. After I get into trouble off the tee, it's a great feeling when I pure a towering baby draw into the green and they mishit irons and wedges, lol.

I don’t have a 7 but do love my 9. I don’t know how I managed so lag without it!

I thought I was about the only one who recognized the real value of these fairway clubs. I have the Ping G430 Max from driver to 9 wood. I can hit that Ping 7 235 yards with incredible height and accuracy , which I'm not able to pull off with an iron equivalent nearly as often. I'm so impressed with the ease of use and versatility. The 5 wood actually has enough distance to cover a 3 wood, but with so much better control. These are truly clubs that help lower scores.

I bought a 7 wood about a month ago and love it. It's good for 185m or 200 yards when i hit it well. Use it off the tee or on long approach shots at the green lands with very little rollout, an absolute gem.

Great video. I’ve just bought a 7 wood and junked my 3 wood - watching this has given me CONFIDENCE. Many thanks.

Well done Miles. I use a 7 wood for a variety of distances by choking up and down but never chipped as you did….definitely worth a try!🇨🇦

Lovely Vlog, made me smile lots. Brings back great memories of my time in the RN and spending time at HMS Dryad. Sent many an hour both on the golf course and fishing for carp on the lake. Thank you so much, a no brainier to subscribe and enjoy more like this as enjoyed the golf instruction too and yes I do have a 7 wood but need to use it more often !!

I’ve been playing the same 7 wood for 20 years , unless it breaks I don’t need a replacement.

@@chrisstephens6194they are becoming popular again, 9 woods too! Mine 3,5, 7 are Adam’s redline tightlie titanium’s the hit like a sledgehammer.

I love your pace of play. Fast but not hurried. No time to overthink anything. No time wasted

I have been carrying a Ping 7 Wood for about 3 years now. It really is a great club. It will never leave my bag. That being said I do carry several woods. I have a 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 woods.

I use the Callaway Epic 3,5, and 7 woods. My best move, although there are times I miss my 3 and 4 irons. The more I use the 7, the better I hit the 5 and 3 woods. The lie and distance tell me what wood to hit. Wonderful demonstration with the 7 W!

I carry a 7 wood and a 9 wood in my bag, basically because I really never hit long irons very well. I find the 7w and 9w easy to hit well, and they fill the gap for 3i, 4i and 5i. I am a rightie, but I putt left handed with a cross grip. My bag usually has Driver, 5w, 7w 9w, 6i, 7i, 8i 9i PW, SW, 60°W and Putter, which is only 12 clubs, so I also carry a left-handed 6i which can come in handy for the occasional time I end up in the wrong side of a tree.

Your excitement comes through so well. Very infections! New sub well earned.

Great content miles, that's this month's beer money gone on a new wood.😂

I thought you were going to putt with the 7 wood. I have driver, 3, 5 and 7 wood. I call my 7 wood the go to club when I want to put the ball in play, the fairway finder. But recently I have been hitting my 5 wood well and in play often. I also find with my 7 wood I tend to hit it and it goes a bit left. I am happy that I got the 7 wood, and now thinking of gettting a 9 wood, but they don't make that for my Mavrik set.

I like to find times when nobody is pressuring the course. I go out and play two balls, a white one and a yellow one. These rounds are for practice. I find practicing on the course is very informative feedback on how I am using / not using good strategy and if I am picking the correct clubs for particular shots. It helps my overall performance when I play with my regular group. The 7W? I love them. I play a 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 11W, 8, 9, PW, SW, LW. That is my way of dinking it into the short grass and getting a decent score.

Great video Miles hi to have played Southwick many times could you do a video on 40 yards from the Green 60 yards from the Green and 100 yards for the Green? I am trying to tidy this up to lower my handicap .regards Eddy

I carry a 5 and 7 wood, both fantastic for long fairway and long par 3 tee shots, and the 7 great out of rough, went back to them as didn't get on with rescue clubs.

Great video Miles!

New subscriber…That was fun to watch. Been watching some of your past videos good stuff.

Very kind thanks

Golf club reviews on course would be great

Top vid Miles, +1 is class in those holes with 2 clubs! Noticed the speed of your pre-shot routine, perhaps part due to your hatred of editing, but can you do something on the different styles of pre-shot routine that players use and why they might choose them? Also something on pros/cons of 7W vs Hybrid would be cool

Great looks like a good option must give it a try 👍

Modern 7 woods are basically the same loft and length of 5 woods from the '70's and '80's. The 5 wood was the do-all utility wood of that era, good from all kinds of lies. You could even use it off the tee if you were wayward with your longer woods. Modern 7 woods do the same job.

my Cobra 5/6 W (13.5*)is my go to fairway finder. A great recovery club, great from the rough, and solid 225yd forgiving stick. It's great for shot shaping also.

Carry Nike ignite 7 wood, it replaces any need for a chipper and rules out the chunk around the greens for the higher handicaps too

Love Callaway heavenwoods. 7 wood head on a 4 wood shaft.

Very nice swing pal.

I play the 5 and 7 G425 woods and they are dream to use,

Great video.

I ❤ my four and five hybrids too much. But I really want to try one.

Bought a demo taylormade stealth 7W, best fairway wood ive used!

used 7 wood ping 425 for quite a few years best club in the bag , struggle off tee at moment as going right. Not so good in the wetter months unless sat up a little . Don’t forget the 9 wood can be just as good .

I built a 7, 9 and 11 wood when Callaway came out with them year's ago. Definitely can save you some strokes, just play around with different size shafts and flex until it's a money club.

Wow! Prefered lies. What ia gentleman's game. My friend makes me play it in a fairway divot with the beaver's tail on top in February

Great video I think a seven wood can be a game changer

Great video. Is there any difference in using a 7 wood vs a hybrid of similar loft?

@jasonveale8560

Massive difference ! 7 wood is a sweeping motion behind the ball, picking up at lowest point in swing Hybrid you get your hands forward and compress with a similar strike to a 4 iron

@@jasonveale8560 think I'll get one. I've always struggled with hybrids, hooking them.

If you had a ŚW you could play 18. Wonderful perspective!

Great demo mate. Been thinking about adding a 7 wood to the bag. Think I’m sold.

What is the difference between the 3 hybrid versus the 7 wood? They both seem to give you the same distance. I have both but I removed my 7 wood in favor of my hybrid. Thanks!

Your right you probably don’t need both similar loft 7wood longer shaft and the obvious head shape. Do what’s right for you 👍

Looking at getting a 5 and 7 wood and ditching 2 irons

Got a g430 hl 7 wood coming any day now

Nice ! shot tracer would improve our experience !

7 woods and 9 woods.

What is a seven wood? My wife's old set has a 21degree, I used to have a 24 degree and I've seen 27 degrees, all with 7 stamped on the head.

I love my Big Bertha 7 wood :-)

I’ve gotten my ass kicked by old guys that only use 7 wood

I love my 7 wood and refer to it as a "cheat" club also...200-205 yards fairway every time....another shot I've worked on you all may want to try....I always carry a 2 iron and I have a shot where I basically hit a half swing low draw...goes about 180-200 yards and is a dream to use off the tee on short par 4's or as a second shot laying up on par 5's...you don't need a full swing to hit the ball 200 yards...I'm no young guy...53 years old and just trying to learn new shots because I know my time of a full hard swing is coming quickly to an end...hope this is helpful :)

Anyone know the loft he's using ??
