The '''7 wood''' is a [[melee]] [[weapon]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.''<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=116482340 '''Bungie.net:''' ''"Forge 014"'']</ref>
The '''7 wood''' is a [[melee]] [[weapon]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' exclusive to the map [[Sandbox]]. It also appears in ''Halo: Reach.''

==Summary==
It is a remodeled version of the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] with no change in attack power or speed. It is the same size, but has the shape of a standard, real-life, golf club.  
It is a remodeled version of the [[Gravity Hammer]] with no noticeable change in attack power or speed. It is the same size, but the shape of a standard, real-life, golf club. It has the icon of a [[Grunt]] on its head. Its reticule is circular and perforated like a golf ball.


In ''Halo 3'', it has the icon of a [[Grunt]] on its head. Its reticule is circular and perforated like a golf ball. [[Bungie]] likely remodeled the Gravity Hammer design for the 7 wood for novelty purposes, as no other use for the 7 wood (or the other golf items, such as the [[Golf Ball]] and the Cup) has been found. The 7 wood was a new addition to the Forge scenery selection, with the arrival of the [[Mythic Map Pack]]. It only appears on Sandbox, a large open terrain map with three levels. Sandbox is considered a very Forge-intensive map. Due to the expansive forge abilities of Sandbox, this is likely the reason the 7 wood is only available on that map. The 7 wood is also found in Forge mode in ''Halo: Reach'' and also in [[Firefight]].

In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the 7 wood was added as part of the [[Warzone Firefight]] update to Forge. It lacks the icon of the grunt on its head, instead replacing it with a [[UNSC]] icon; on the bar of the club is the word [[Misriah]].

==Usage==
==Usage==
In ''Halo 3'', ''Halo Reach'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the 7 wood is available in [[Forge]].
The 7 wood is only available in [[Forge]], more specifically, only on the [[Mythic Map Pack|Mythic Map]] [[Sandbox]]. It can be found under the "Scenery" section, as opposed to the "Weapons" section. It can be used as a melee weapon in a similar way to the Gravity Hammer.


For ''Halo 3'' specifically, it is in the [[Mythic Map Pack|Mythic Map]] [[Sandbox]]. It can be found under the "Scenery" section, as opposed to the "Weapons" section. It can be used as a melee weapon in a similar way to the Gravity Hammer.
[[Bungie]] added two other golf objects to go with the 7 wood - a "cup" and a [[Golf Ball]], most likely as a novelty object for Forgers and custom gamers to mess around with while playing Halo 3 with friends. Players who use the 7 wood for combat would use Gravity Hammer tactics, as they have the same effects, but as a novelty item, it was likely that players using the 7 wood will only be messing around in Forge.

However, recently, 7 woods have appeared in [[matchmaking]] in the [[Grifball]] court Chichén Itzá, where teams starting in the lower court can grab a 7 wood right away as soon as they spawn. So far, this is the only appearance of the 7 wood in Matchmaking.
 
The 7 woods have also appeared in [[matchmaking]] in the [[Grifball]] court Chichén Itzá, where teams starting in the lower court can grab a 7 wood right after spawning. ''Halo: Reach'''s Grifball variant, ''Hand Egg'', also features the 7 wood as its primary weapon. They also appear in ''Halo: Reach'' in the [[Action Sack]] playlist, and in the [[HaloBall]] and HaloBall Xtreme gametypes.

*Many gamers believed that using the 7 wood to hit the golf ball into the cup would unlock the location of the [[Halo 3 skulls|Sandbox Skull]], but this was later denied by Bungie, who then confirmed that players would have to search for the skull, as with the other ''Halo 3'' skulls.

*The head of the 7 wood bears the seal of the PGGA, which pays homage to the modern-day PGA, or Professional Golf Association. Within the Halo Universe, PGGA likely stands for 'Professional Grunt Golf Association' or another derivative of similar appearance, due to the presence of an [[Unggoy]] head in the seal.

*The 7 wood (and the other golf items) were likely added for the same reasons as the [[soccer ball]] Forge item in ''Halo 3'', though the golf items seem to be more novelty-oriented, compared to the soccer ball which was presumably used as a physics testing item during the game's development.
*The 7 wood and the other golf items were likely added for the same reasons as the soccer ball forge item in ''Halo 3'', though the golf items seem to be more novelty items instead of a physics item used in the games development like the soccer ball was.
*When the player walks over the 7 wood, the message prompting them to pick it up does not show an icon of the weapon like any other weapon would. Rather, it displays the words "7 Wood" in its place. However, when the weapon is wielded, an image of the weapon appears in the player's heads-up display like it would with any other weapon. Why this image was not used in the prompt is unknown.

*In Firefight, while playing as an Elite, it is possible to give a 7 wood to Brutes, who will wield it exactly as if they were holding Gravity Hammers. However, the "Hold RB to take" message will not appear once they are holding one.{{Citation needed}}

*It is also possible to give 7 woods to Grunts. The 7 wood will become miniature in proportion to the the grunt's size, and it will just walk up to enemies and not attack.
