At my speed, I might as well play a 2 iron instead of a 4 iron. Neither will get enough launch to get enough distance. I use a 7 wood.
Do you get 10-15 yards consistently more than a 5 iron?
Will an approach shot with the 4 iron more likely to roll off the back of the green?
A 7 Wood should be more consistent with distance and launch higher to land softer on greens. When a tool doesn’t do the right job, time to consider a new tool. The right tool might be a driving iron, hybrid, or fairway. Depends on the task you want it to do.

Love the 7wood, I don't use a Hybrid, I carry both 7 wood and 5wood, and they cover my 200- 250 range

Easier to hit and is great in the rough players of all speeds can benefit from a seven wood IMO I’ve never seen anyone with one that hates it

I have been gaming a 7 wood for about 7 years and it is by far one of the most consistent clubs in my bag. It is perfect to hit from the fairway or the rough and is useful on short tight par 4 when you need to find the fairway. I suggest you demo one or get a fitting and see if it fits the gaps you are attempting to eliminate.
Good Luck

Wish I could hit my driver 250, taking my age into consideration. Will see how all the PT has paid off tomorrow. Think I am going to hold at 80 this year, only in my mind of course. Whew, be careful what I wish for. Hakuna matata.

It's in my thumbnail. My current is a GT2 21 with Bassara 55 x5ct R. Stock length with A2 Surefit. I have a red Bassara A flex for when the time comes. This shatt was attached to a TSR2 18 head and the GT2 actually hits farther.

I also have had a couple iterations of 910F 21 since about 2015 or so. My current one I've had since 2019. I played an Ilima 71 R until a year ago. 41" shaft. Currently has Bassara R with A flex available.

My first ever 7 wood from Titleist was a 975F from my Dad in 2007. I played it for 3 years.

My one two punch for some time has been a 910F 21 and 816H1 27.

Love my 7 wood!! I'm just mad at myself though, because somehow I put a little dent in the crown. It's my own fault for being so dang clumsy.

I bought a 7 wood in January as I was struggling with my 5 wood. It’s rapidly become my favourite club. Easy to hit from the fairway, goes a decent distance to be a safe tee shot on all but the longest holes.

Only issue I have now is my tsi2 4 wood doesn’t really go much further so may have to upgrade that as it isn’t getting used.

I play a TSR1 7 wood. Replaced a 4 hybrid. = ts my most consistent club.

Just put a GT2 7 wood in bag, looking forward to swinging it for the first time this weekend. Getting away from long irons, the we PNW conditions have wreaked havoc on my confidence and game this year.

Put a gt2 in the bag to replace my hybrid. So much better results for me! Definitely give it a try, it became my favourite club.
