7 Wood vs 9 Wood – Which one should you play?
#golf #golftips #golfswing
My Qi10 7 Wood has been my favorite club over the last 12 months, no questions asked!
But along the recent 9 wood journey you have to ask the question, how does the 7 wood get impacted by this other lofted option.
In this weekends upload we’re gonna address that subject & set up a little match up between the two.
Who’s each club for?
What does each club offer?
Can you consider playing them both?
Would another option take the place of either?

5:04 you said this video was coming last week; but I didn't expect to feel like you were directly referencing my question in relation to my bag. The amount of detail you go in to with equipment in your vids is why I subscribe and watch almost every one of these. The comparison between the 9 wood and 4 iron was great, I might consider getting rid of my hybrid and having 9 wood/4 iron in the squad. 3 fairway woods in the bag would still probably feel weird to me though.
11 wood next pls
Lefty availability wise and just preference I might try a 5 or 6 hybrid instead of a 4 iron since an actual 4 hybrid goes too far (4 iron is 24°s) but the club between my 3 wood and 4 iron rotates between a 3 iron, 5 wood and 3 hybrid
I have long since gotten rid of my 3 wood and go 5 wood 4 hybrid. I hit my 5 wood farther than my 3 and I can actually get it off the ground. I am strongly considering replacing my hybrid with either a 7 or 9 wood.
And now show us how they perform in the pishing rain and wind of Scotland..😂
Recently changed from a qi10 3w with my qi10 7w, to a qi10 3w HL and the 7w. I find it’s better gapping than my normal 3w
10.5 degree driver, 3 wood HL (aka 4 wood) and 7 wood in my full bag. If I’m carrying in the winter and taking fewer clubs I will swap out both the 3 and 7 for a 3 hybrid for versatility. And in the summer I might rotate a 2 P-DHY into the top end somewhere.
I have an oldie M4 HL 7 wood with a 5 wood shaft. It's 24 degrees which is esentially a 9 wood. It is my favorite club! 220 carry, nice & high for this mid-handicap golfer. I am now looking at getting an 11 wood for 200 yard carry to replace my 4 iron. To hell with hybrids! Ha!
Love my 7 wood but find it a pointless club hitting into wind. Perfect clubs for US golf .
The 7 wood played so well for me & I went out there to get the 9 wood ~ still waiting its arrival………
Can you fit a hybrid shaft in the Q10 7 wood – what tip size is it pls?
It is an either / or decision I think Trottie, you don’t need both in your bag, unless you carry. 5-wood which creeps towards your 3-wood distance. Either / or
Try cutting the 9 wood a bit shorter so it goes a bit shorter and not so high
i play both
Trottie crushing it as always. Enjoyed this one…. Def considering a 9 wood setup. Being able to softly land a ball at like 225-235 would be killer at my home course.
Wouldn’t using a P DHY 3 or 4 iron be the best of both worlds from someone who wants more height and slightly more distance out of their 4 iron compared to 9 wood?
I have carried a 7wood for 3years now. I am really considering a 9wood. Just sucks that hard to be fitted for. I do have the issue of low ball flight with my 4 iron and not striking it the best. Thanks for the video.
I go Driver, Mini, 5 wood, 9 wood.
Answer: both 🙂 plus an 11 wood
4:13 that could be due to FullSwing system.
My game/swing speed I switched last year to play a 7 wood in place of my 2 iron. If I really swing it off a small tee I can go 220. Off the deck I swing lighter and use it for 200 yard shots. So it actually takes the place of my 2 iron from the tee and my 4 iron from the fairway. I’ve been an iron lover for years and I still can not hit hybrids. But I can hit my 7 wood great. I have not tried a 9 wood as I don’t own one.
Love this. 7 & 9woods are part of our regular fitting routine. More and more players are open to comparing their long irons to these. We have plus handicaps to 20 handicaps playing their best golf after making the switch. Just have to tell me where I can get that Core 9 Wood!
Thanks for another amazing video Trottie! Love my Qi10 7 wood
Thank You for your expertise, and professionalism. I would like to make a memory with my son. I would like to have you do a fitting for both of us, and get him his first set of good clubs, and upgrade me from a plus 20 yr old set. I’m that person that needs to get a grasp of what I’m getting myself into. I want to make a moment with my kid. I live in Texas and he is in North Hollywood. Ball park figure to get fitted for two and two sets of clubs. How long does it take for the fitting with two of us. Look forward to your response. keep up the great work.
I love a 7-wood, as it is more versatile than a 5-wood. I also play a 4-wood instead of a 3-wood. I would have never thought about a higher loft wood till I tried one. They are awesome clubs.
Wish Taylormade would’ve done an in depth video with DJ on this.
Finally playing a 7 wood rather than a 3 hybrid. Slightly shorter but better desperation. Still longer than my 4 iron by about 20 yards.
You literally cannot buy a core model Qi35 9 wood anywhere. Lol not even on TM's own website yet it's in all the videos. All you can get is the MAX
You guys need to come out with an 11 wood, already got a 7 and 9 need that 11 when the fairways are super firm
What are the lofts on these fairway woods?
You sound like the singer from the Arctic Monkeys.
