I have a 7 wood that needs replacing, but you don’t offer one. Without knowing the clubs specs, would your 4 hybrid be an adequate replacement?

Most #7 woods have had in the past had 21 degrees of loft and were around 228 grams in head weight. So the KE4 Tour TC Hybrid #4 has 22 degrees loft and is 240 grams. Our new KE4 TC HYWAY Utility wood, which is kind of a cross between an hybrid and and a fairway wood, comes in a 21 degree loft 225 gram head weight option and a 23 degree 230 gram head weight option. I mention the head weight because it determines, to some degree, what the club length should be for the club. The HYWAY 21 degree would be the most similar in loft and head weight specs to the former #7 woods we carried. The TC Tour #4 Hybrid (22 deg. loft) and the STiH Hybrid (21 deg. loft) are both options, but just be aware at the 240 gram head weight they would most likely be played at a shorter playing length than the #7 woods or the HYWAY Utility at 225-228 grams. Side note, in our testing of the HYWAY, comments were made that the ball flight reminded players of #7 woods.
Hope this helps.
