Im looking to replace my callaway big bertha titanium 7 wood(my dad kind of stole it from me lol) It had a regular shaft in it so my dad decided he would take it and get me a new one with a stiff shaft(he had been playing a warbird that was far past its prime). I used to just play a driver and a 7 wood but recently got a 3 wood so it replaced the 7 wood as the "hit is as far as you can you cant reach the green in two on this par 5" club. With the addition of the 3 wood i needed to take out my 3 iron because i carry a gap wedge so i needed the 7 wood to be more of an approach club than a bomb it out there club. So im wondering if I should go with a 7 wood with a graphite shaft, 7 wood with a steel shaft for more control or a 2/3 hybrid to cover the loss of my 3 iron.

if it's for approach, i say go for a #2 hybrid less than 20deg loft.
it will replace your 7 wood and 3 iron.

It plays like a 3 iron, distance like a 5/7 wood,
most important , it can add a new dimension to your approach - flexibility.
i get 130 yards out of fairway bunker using my #4 hybrid.

Try graphite shaft .... unless you have a real fast swing.
If you wanna more control, go #3.

It would depend on how far you hit your 7 wood, and how far you would hit each of the hybrids you are thinking of getting. Why not just replace the 7 wood with another 7 wood, which you are familar with?

Id say go for something like a 17* 2i hybrid its long high and yet not too long. I did this and it covers me from 4i down to 2w and I couldnt be happier.

Personally I find higher lofted hybrids above 20* much more versatile. So here's what I would do: Also drop your 4 iron and add a 5/7 wood AND a ~23* hybrid combination to your bag ... I did it and couldn't be happier.

If you check my sig: the 5 Wood shaft is cut to 40.75", so it's kind of a 7 wood distance wise.

I am for the hybrids, but I also agree that you should check your yardages and make sure your makeup doesn't have distance gaps...IMO there is not an easier club to hit straight than a hybrid...workability is another issue...

You might be surprised how many golfers can't hit a hybrid to save their life, much less par. It has more to do with the golfer, than the design of the club.

I've been hitting a 7-wood for three years now and I'm definitely going to a hybrid before next year. Probably replacing my 5-wood as well. You can do so much more with a hybrid. Unless you're a real mow handicapper, try a hybrid at least.

i had the same problem and put a titleist 20.5* wood in my bag. i love it!
