Seven-Wood: The Golf Wood of Choice

By: Eric Slarkowski

If you are overlooking the potential of your seven-wood, you may want to take a closer look at the collection of clubs in your golf bag. Many golfers believe the seven-wood to be the best field wood in a golf bag.

However, this is not a universally accepted statement since it is ultimately a matter of the golfer�s opinion. But, many golfers believe that the seven-wood is as close to the perfect golf club as he or she can have. The seven wood swings as smoothly and easily as the six-iron but is also more accurate and gives more distance to the ball.

The seven-wood can be a great golf club from about 225 years in depending on the golfer�s physical strength. The seven-wood makes it fairly easy to get under the ball and get good elevation to move the ball in toward the green with very few strokes, the ultimate golfing goal. If a golfer has a seven-wood with a graphite shaft, he or she will have a greater feel of the ball as opposed to a seven-wood with a metal shaft. The graphite shaft causes the club to be more flexible and gives the ball slightly more lift upon contact.

The seven-wood is also a great club for a long par 3 or short par 4 hole. Let�s imagine the golfer is looking at a 180 yard par 3. Now, he or she could choose to make the drive with a three or four iron club and probably make a fairly good drive. However, choosing a golf wood like the seven-wood, gives golfer a slight edge as he or she can tee the ball slightly higher and in the direction of the green. This is especially true if the drive is made with the ball near the back of his or her stance, thus reducing the power of the swing and preventing the drive from flying the green.

If the golfer were to make a slight alteration in his or her stance, the seven-wood could also help the golfer get past an obstacle. Let�s say a golfer is approximately 180 years out on the green with a tree about ten years directly in front of him or her. By altering his or her stance by opening it up slightly and changing the hips� position, the golfer can more easily hook or slice the ball around the tree yet without causing the ball to become out of play. The golfer can get the shot he or she needs, with adequate elevation, but without the negative repercussions such tough shots often carry with them.

However, it is always a good idea to spend some time practicing this shot on the driving range with the seven-wood before attempting it out on the course and in an actual game.

Neutral = Straight
There are two key alignments to strive for at the top of the swing that will make hitting fairways much easier. The most important of the two is the clubface position, which should be square (the leading edge basically is parallel to the left arm). Learning this position will remove the need to compensate on the downswing with the hands. Positioning the club parallel to the target line is also extremely important.
