New TWGT 959OL Driver

Filed under: Equipment — Joey @ 7:38 pm

I built a new driver late last week, a Tom Wishon Golf Technology 959OL driver. I had the clubhead hand-picked for 10.5° loft with a square clubface. I used the S2S Swing to Shaft fitting system to select the shaft; for me, that turned out to be the S2S Black 65 shaft in S-flex. I used a V Series Oversize grip with 3 wraps of tape, and swingweighted the club to D-1 to match my fairway woods.

This club has a 0.90 coefficient of restitution, thus does not meet USGA regulations. I’ll only use this club for recreational rounds; it won’t be in my bag for tournaments. As you can see in the photo below, this clubhead is designed for swing speeds that don’t exceed 100 mph.

I’m playing Cowboys Golf Club tomorrow with my usual golf buddies. A full report to follow. I’ve not yet stuck golf balls with the club.
