Why this Good Good Pro loves a 7-wood (and why you might too)
Sean Walsh makes up half the Good Good Pros team (along with Brad Dalke), and a recent switch to a 7-wood has given him added control. Jake Morrow / GOLF Sean Walsh is one of two Good Good Golf members who make up the Good Good Pros team . Along with Brad Dalke, he takes on actual touring pros when creating content, and there’s one club in the bag Sean feels more confident with than others: his 7-wood.
I had a chance to film with Sean at The Yards in Jacksonville, Fla. , and he discussed why he uses the 7-wood off the tee (and why he loves it so much). Callaway Elyte vs.
Callaway Quantum I caught Sean during the transition period between the Elyte and Quantum series of clubs. He’s in love with the Elyte option, as it was his first 7-wood and he feels emotionally attached, but I had a feeling there was going to be some benefits to the Quantum. The only caveat was that the new Quantum 7-wood had a Velocore+ version of the Ventus Blue, and the Elyte had the older Velocore model.
On paper, not a huge deal, but in practice they feel very different and that was going to come into play. “I’ve hit some of the best shots of my life with that thing,” he said. “I’ve been able to hit this thing 260 to 265 yards when I really, absolutely smack it.
The thing I love about a 7-wood though is I can also hit it to a very practical 230 yards. ” He also loves that he can flight it down fairly easily, but if he’s on a course where height doesn’t matter, he’s happy to swap in a Callaway UT 2-iron. For what it’s worth, after posting an Instagram story about my disdain for high-lofted fairway woods, Sean replied, “You can take my 7-wood out of my cold dead hands.
