I'm indifferent at the 7 wood loft. A 5 hybrid is going to have a lower, flatter flight than a 7 wood but it will produce more roll. Hybrids of about the same loft are better for bad lies in the rough, slightly more control with the shorter shaft, etc.

A hybrid is better from the rough and its also more forgiving.
