DonM KCee If Golfworks would just make a Tour TC 7w head I'd be all set. They are coming out with a 7 wood in the Tour something, but I think it is a new line.
bad9 KCee I was holding out for a Tour YC 7w head but they announced it was going to be different and adjustable (ie too expensive) so I sold my Tour TC 5w and am going with Callaway Rogue ST Max Heavenwood and 9 woods this year. I don't think I paid much more than what I think the GW's will cost and they will have some resale value if I don't like them. I began asking for a matching 7w head since the KE4 ST-f but GW never did a matching one. They almost, sort of did with the HyWay clubs but the head shape was too different from the noral TC head and not in a good way.
KCee bad9 I was hoping for a Tour TC 7w as well. If I knew when the the new adjustable model was coming I might have waited, but I traded a Mavrik 5w in for a Rogue ST Max 7w. Haven't been able to play yet, but it looks nice!
bad9 KCee I played my Rogue HW very late in the season last year and really like it. Over the winter I picked up the 9w to battle with my 3hy which will likely end up in my short set.
DonM I think GW doesn't get that in a business, there are some SKUs that you have to provide for the big picture, even if they are not profitable on their own. 7 woods are maybe the most glaring example. Also 5-6-7 hybrids.
KCee DonM I'm really surprised GW didn't make a 7w as they have always favored Game Improvement clubs and to me that means high lofted fairways for slower swingers. They do offer the Hyway, but that club looks odd to me; sort of a super hybrid type that should have a .370 hosel.
d5n03 KCee Don’t knock the Maltby HyWay. I have the 21* as my 7W. Stupid easy to hit good shots with it. I’ll admit that is pretty odd looking though.
KCee d5n03 I may order a head at some point. I was close to pulling the trigger, but then I realized I could trade the Mavrik 5w for the Rogue ST 7w and pay less than the Hyway cost so I went that route. If it doesn't work that well I have a few shafts for the Hyway laying around.
d5n03 KCee I initially shafted my HyWay with an SK Fiber TT80 - a shaft that had worked well for me in fairway clubs in the past. I wasn’t happy with it. I switched to another shaft (don’t remember which one) - still not satisfactory. I finally installed a Maltby Pro Series shaft in the HyWay and now this club really performs well for me. I have the Pro Series shafts in my irons & hybrids also. They seem to work well with my swing.
colej DonM Just came in and it’s not a bad looking head. Little bit more offset then I was hoping for but I’ll probably live.
ode Ugh why did they do that goofy transition on the hosel, gives a semi-offset look...no bueno. GW has done that on some of theirs as well.
colej Hoss7504 Just a bit taller than my maltby Ke4 TC Tour. I’ll try to get a comparison picture tomorrow.
customgolfcenter colej Yeah I'm not a fan of the offset, nor the oddly shaped face. IMHO the face should be a tad bit shallower and longer from toe to heel.
colej Played today and overall I’d say it’s good club. Only bad thing I’d say; I’d like to see a little less offset/goofy transition when looking down. Nice solid feel and slightly metallic sound (not bad by any means).
Jelopster colej My Geek 7w has been pretty good for me. Even when I don’t catch it great it still gets up there pretty good. And the good strikes are majestic moonshots. Very versatile. Good off the tee, great out of the rough, and my go to for just punching it out from under trees.
