In our forums, our members have been discussing 7-woods and 3-hybrids. WRXer ‘JMurdock81’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Trying to replace my 210-220 club in my bag right now and thinking of going to a 7 wood from my 3 hybrid. Anyone have experience with this or pick one over the other? I could go with another 3 hybrid, but wondering if the 7 wood might be a better fit. Thoughts?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts 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.

cpelli92: “Txg did a video on this you should look it up. Generally, fairway will go higher than a hybrid. Also, longer shaft, for what that’s worth. Other then yardage, is there anything particular you want it to do?”
DallasDan: “I tried the 7w experiment, and it didn’t go so well. I traded it back in for a 3h and 4h. Just couldn’t get a consistent height.”
TheDeanAbides: “I played a 7 wood back when it wasn’t cool because my dad had one. Man, that thing was great with a steel shaft. I’ve carried an ancient Nike CPR 21* hybrid for a decade now and really liked it, but I have the same issue as you. I remember how easy that 7 wood was to hit, and I plan to go back to one.”
LeoLeo99: “Love my 7 wood. Goes straight and high. Hybrid goes lower and often hooks left. You might have to search a bit to find a 7 wood in stiff flex.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
