  1. I have two 7 woods. One goes high (Taylormade) and goes 160-170; and one goes low (Titleist) and goes 180-190. I like them better than hybrids as hybrid hooks badly. I also carry a high launch 3 wood (17*)

  2. I've been playing a cobra 5 and 7 wood and they will have to pry them from my cold, dead hands! As an older, slower swing speed golfer forget the 3 wood and 5 iron. I'm not sure the brand makes much difference but the rails on the bottom of the cobra radspeed and speedzone give me some extra confidence.

  3. Glad I have an older 7 wood in my bag – one of my favourite clubs !! However, with the ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS price of even new fairway woods, I'll have to hope I am able to use mine for at least 3 more years, before looking at a 2023 Paradym or basically ANY 2023 clubs. Currently, in Canada they want $479 !!! for a Paradym fairway wood. I wont pay that for even a driver !! Have given up watching anymore reviews on 2023 clubs. The cost has become prohibitive!!!!! As I said, maybe in 3 – 5 years, I'll go back to your ( and all the other) 2023 reviews to get a sense of what to look for in used clubs. Sorry for the rant. It's not your fault that Club prices have SEVERELY limited the options for newer golfers, and many Senior golfers. Luckily I live near a store that sells a wide selection of used clubs.

  4. I’ve been waiting for this video – thank you 🙏 👍👌👏👏👏👏 I have the Paradym 7w but need 10 more yards for gap & was thinking HW but seems no need 🤷‍♂️

  5. i have a cobra f6 5/6 wood that I put at 20 degrees to be my 7 wood based upon loft. I have a PXG 5 wood that I put at 17.5 degrees and that is my 4 wood. I love 4 woods. I did this because my 3/4 hybrid is 22 degrees and I didnt want to take it out. I love the 4 hybrid a lot so I just adjusted the lofts to give me exactly what i wanted.

  6. Lol I have played a 7 wood Heaven wood from 20 years. It’s the Callaway Warbird version in steel shaft. It use to be my 220yds club but with old age it’s my 200yds. Love the club.

  7. Think Callaway have over complicated this. Surely a 7 wood is a Heaven wood in terms of forgiveness??
    Love Callaway, and they know what they are doing, but these 2 clubs are far too similar for me

  8. I use a Ping G400 9 wood (23.5 degrees std) because of the rear weight (which can be adjusted via available weight sets) and an adjustable hosel (for the loft). I also have the 5 wood which has the same features. Makes them more versatile to fit than the Paradym offerings. I think for the $$ Callaway could have done the same.

  9. Great vid. Have always played a Heaven Wood for a 225 club. Unbeatable off the tee, into par 5's, long par 4s over 450yds, into long par 3s over 200 with forced carries, long bump and runs off tight lies and most importantly the 175-yard fairway bunker shot if you choke down a bit. It's a weapon.

  10. I know everyone steals ideas, but the Heavenwood, just like the Warbird sole on some of Callaway's other clubs, is clearly based on Stan Thompson's Ginty utility wood. The Ginty had a 7 wood loft, which was 29 degrees back in the day, and a shaft the length of a four wood.

  11. The way that woods have trended lately has made most I've tried absolute rockets, my 3W nearly keeps up with driver distance at this point. More and more I think that my gapping should be driver, 4 wood, 7 wood, 4 iron.

  12. Callaway will always make the heaven wood. As it was the favorite of the creator of Calloway. It's a beautiful club. It's made how it was back in the day just with new technology of today's clubs. I like both but I'd run the heaven wood for nostalgic purposes. People who have used the heaven wood usually want a newer one that's "the same".

  13. Thank goodness, after 3 1/2 minutes in you finally mention the biggest difference – shaft length. 3/4” longer. It’s a rare case for Callaway, but it’s not marketing, as they have had versions of Heavenwoods for years. It really isn’t that confusing. Many Seniors and Ladies I have seen, use the Heavenwood as their lowest lifted fairway. It is not meant for a low handicap golfer such as yourself. I like your videos, but you totally miss the point of the Heavenwood. A slow swing speed will see a greater difference.

  14. Um, excuse me Mr. Robinson. I have a question if I may. You see, I have an original Callaway Big Bertha 7 wood with the JV60B shaft that I bought for about $5 from a used shop before Mark Zuckerberg even made Facebook, and I still hit it about 210 with a draw, straight or fade on command. So my question is this…
    Which do I have to sell, a kidney or a lung to afford the new Paradym 7 wood that does the exact same thing my lovely busted up Big Bertha does? I gotta be forthcoming, I just put a new Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize grip with 3 layers of tape on, which actually cost 4 times more than the club, so I gotta admit that I am a little frugal.

  15. Hi James love reviewing the 7 & Heaven Woods I’m guessing you’ll get an extra 10yds with the Heaven Wood (think it’s idea is great) and should be perfect for your Dad👍) ideal for us seniors, extra length of shaft & 1deg stronger loft & slightly larger head sounds perfect, you can always choke down on the grip & open the face a touch to get 7Wood distance👍, My thoughts (now let’s watch your video) 🤞, you’ll think the same, Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer

  16. I have the paradigm 7 wood in my bag – superb club. So versatile and consistent – my go to for 200 yards carry. Never thought I would replace my old Titleist 7 wood but the Paradym 7 wood is brilliant

  17. I wonder if you had Spriggsy or Foxy do the same comparison you did would they have had the same results as you. Given that these clubs are marketed towards higher handicap players with less consistent swings (generally, even though we know all players could see value) I'd imagine that the Heavenwood might offer more forgiveness with the larger head. Perhaps your swing speed (and above) is the great equalizer?

  18. I think the issue is with you, that is not a dig or insult, I’m 70 with a much slower swing speed than you. I’ve tested both clubs with a senior flex shaft. The Heavenwood was consistently 12 to 15 yards longer than the 7 wood off the deck, off a tee the difference was even greater, closer to 17 yards. Also you have the ascent shaft in the Heavenwood and not in the 7 wood. I can’t wait to see your dads test which I believe is a far more relevant test.
