The TaylorMade V Steel 7-Wood (~21°) is a versatile fairway wood built with the signature “V-Steel” sole design (which reduces turf drag and improves play from a variety of lies) and a compact head (~127 cc per the spec sheet) for players who want easier launch, better turf interaction and clog-through-rough capability.
If fitted with a graphite shaft in Stiff flex, it is aimed at players with somewhat higher swing speeds wanting the higher loft (21°) to fill a gap between fairway wood and long iron/hybrid.
Key Features
-
Loft: ~21° (for the 7-Wood version) with a lie around ~59.5° in the stock specs.
-
Head Volume: ~127 cubic centimetres for the 7-Wood version in the 2006 specification of V Steel.
-
Length: Graphite length listed as ~42” (for the 7-Wood version) in the spec sheet.
-
Signature V-Steel Sole: The “V” shaped sole is designed to minimize turf resistance—particularly beneficial from rough, fairway or awkward lies.
-
Graphite Stock Shaft Weight: The spec sheet lists the stock graphite shaft as ~74 g (for S or TS flex) for V Steel fairway woods.
-
Playability: Because of the smaller head volume, shorter length and the sole design, this club tends to offer more versatility (tee, fairway, rough) compared to larger fairway woods. (User-forums reflect this)
