So following on from my Wedges question - I’m just getting into golf, and have been playing a couple of years, shooting 110 on average, sub 100 a few times with 96 at Rickmonswoth a PB.

I’m not a fast, powerful swinger, following neck surgery years back, and I’ve read a few articles stating that 7 Woods are great for shorter hitters.

Based on this, what ‘used’ 7 Wood should I start looking for online? Are any of them more forgiving, for someone with a tendency to slice?

I appreciate a fitting would be best, but for now I’m looking to just buy used, and get more time on the course before I start spending too much ££££!

£100 - £160 seems to provide plenty of used options across well know brands. Any favourites out there?

I have hybrid, a used Callaway X2 Hot 3 (19) which I enjoy and get on well with.

The I’m looking for something to use for that 2nd or 3rd fairway shot, when I’m still 150 - 200 out from the green, but want a little more height on the ball.

I have a Cobra F9 fairway wood, extremely forgiving and easy to hit. They're a few years old now. Honestly I think most 7 woods will be fairly easy to hit anyway. Ping are always a good place to look at for easy-launching fairway woods. I'm liking my G425 3 wood that I got recently for £170 - that's the SFT tech for anti-slice. You might be able to find a 7-wood version of that.
