I go 7 club all the time and I always go with driver, 5-wood, 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, 56 degree wedge and putter. I honestly dont miss my 14-club setup because if Im inbetween clubs I can simply grip down on it and get a little less distance.
I also find that a 56 degree works just fine as my only wedge because I can open or close the face to manipulate the loft. I can hood the face to make it a 52 degree or I can open it to turn it into a 60 degree. The only real limitation to this is if you are hitting off of a tight lie it can be difficult to open the face and still get under the ball. Ive skulled the ball a few times that way before I realized that sometime you need to just take your medicine and accept what the course will allow you to do.
