There are so many gimmick products being shown on TV and most of them are complete junk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s priced at around&nbsp;<strong>$200<\/strong>&nbsp;which isn\u2019t all that bad if it actually works. Most drivers these days are quite a bit more than that so if it works as they say then it could be a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s a bit smaller than a standard driver and is the\u00a0<strong>same length as your 3 wood<\/strong>, you can actually hit it off the turf if you want. I do prefer my own 3 wood for this but it could be an option for someone who doesn\u2019t want to buy a driver and wood. Also, here\u2019s the commercial they made for it (classic golf infomercial).<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Brand New GX-7 X-Metal Will Have You Ditching Your Old Driver In No Time\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_fSrH2uuDskc\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FfSrH2uuDskc%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fSrH2uuDskc\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT31S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2017-05-05T15:01:46Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_fSrH2uuDskc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FfSrH2uuDskc%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Brand New GX-7 X-Metal Will Have You Ditching Your Old Driver In No Time<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fSrH2uuDskc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FfSrH2uuDskc%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Brand New GX-7 X-Metal Will Have You Ditching Your Old Driver In No Time\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Brand New GX-7 X-Metal Will Have You Ditching Your Old Driver In No Time https:\/\/go.gx7golf.com\/\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accuracy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason someone would get a club like this is to&nbsp;<strong>improve<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>their<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>accuracy<\/strong>&nbsp;off the tee. Most \u201caverage\u201d players struggle with the driver and tend to hook or slice it big time. If they can hit the fairway more often and still have the distance then they should be able to lower scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said the GX-7 is supposed to be just as accurate as your 3 wood and I was somewhat expecting that because they were the&nbsp;<strong>same<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>length<\/strong>&nbsp;and the loft is similar (the loft was a couple of degrees less). I wouldn\u2019t say the GX-7 is going to fix your hook or slice but I do think&nbsp;<strong>it\u2019ll help hit more fairways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of&nbsp;<strong>spin<\/strong>&nbsp;was between my driver and fairway wood. It gave me more spin compared to my driver but it was quite a bit less than my fairway wood. All in all, I\u2019ll have to agree with them that the GX is just as accurate as my wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have the fastest swing speed in the world so I can\u2019t comment on how it\u2019ll perform for everyone but if you have a low to mid swing speed then you might want to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Distance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though distance shouldn\u2019t be the main thing a mid to high handicap player should be looking for, it\u2019s still something you should expect from your driver. They said it\u2019ll go the same distance as your driver but I&nbsp;<strong>didn\u2019t find that to be the case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my experience, the GX was somewhere around&nbsp;<strong>10 yards shorter<\/strong>&nbsp;on average. It was still longer than my fairway wood but it was no driver. Compared to my 3 wood, it was around 5 yards longer than that. The launch angle was identical to my driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s designed more for&nbsp;<strong>higher<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>handicaps<\/strong>&nbsp;with lower swing speeds so if you have a faster swing speed then you\u2019ll most likely get less distance using the GX. I let my dad give it a try (who\u2019s getting older and can\u2019t swing as fast) and it seemed to work really well for him. I also gave it to my girlfriend and it worked surprisingly well for her as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re willing to sacrifice some distance to be&nbsp;<strong>in the fairway<\/strong>&nbsp;more often, I think you\u2019ll be able to lower scores. If this is something that could help with that I see no reason why you wouldn\u2019t give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GX-7 Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"tablepress-7\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Product<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>GX-7 Driver<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Length<\/td><td>43 Inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Loft<\/td><td>14 Degrees<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Clubhead<\/td><td>267cc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spin (Compared To Driver)<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Distance (Compared To Driver)<\/td><td>Lower<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dispersion (Compared To Driver)<\/td><td>Tighter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RCBWPBW?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07RCBWPBW\" data-aawp-product-title=\"14\u00b0 GX-7 \u201cX-Metal\u201d \u2013 Driver Distance Fairway Wood Accuracy \u2013 Mens &amp; Womens Models \u2013 Includes Head Cover \u2013 Long Accurate Tee Shots \u2013 Legal for Tournament Play  Right Hand Stiff Flex\">Check On Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The price point is pretty good.<\/li><li>It\u2019s more accurate than your driver.<\/li><li>It can work from the turf as well.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s not a game-changing club like the commercial suggests.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll probably get less distance out of it.<\/li><li>It\u2019s a little bit on the whippy side.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, if you\u2019re a higher handicap player or someone who doesn\u2019t have the fastest swing speeds, you might want to give the GX-7 a try. It\u2019s not something I\u2019d add to my bag but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the target market for something like this. It looks like it\u2019s more for\u00a0<strong>senior or female golfers<\/strong>. I\u2019m pretty sure you can try it out for 30 days to see how you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RCBWPBW?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check the current price on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07RCBWPBW\" data-aawp-product-title=\"14\u00b0 GX-7 \u201cX-Metal\u201d \u2013 Driver Distance Fairway Wood Accuracy \u2013 Mens &amp; Womens Models \u2013 Includes Head Cover \u2013 Long Accurate Tee Shots \u2013 Legal for Tournament Play  Right Hand Stiff Flex\"><strong>Check the current price on Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>price<\/strong>&nbsp;point is reasonable and it could be something you\u2019d use instead of your driver&nbsp;<strong>AND<\/strong>&nbsp;fairway wood. Yeah, it\u2019s not going to go as far as your driver but how often to you bomb it long and straight down the fairway with your driver? I think you\u2019ll be able to lower scores if you hit more fairways.
