Tom Wishon 919THI fairway wood constructed

Filed under: Equipment — Joey @ 6:35 pm

I’ve been having some difficulty hitting my 4-wood reliably, as I can generally hit my 7-wood just as far, and straighter, unless I really swing well. As a result, I’ve built a new 5-wood (18° loft vs 4-wood 16.5° loft) using the new Tom Wishon Golf Technology 919THI fairway clubhead. I’ve decided in the short term to put the 525FD “Thriver” in my bag to hit off the tee only on holes where the driver is too long, and to take out the 4-wood and 7-wood, and replace those clubs with the new 5-wood.

That’s my plan and I’m sticking with it, at least through the weekend. 🙂

Specs: I built the 5-wood (hand selected 18° loft with square clubface) to a length of 41.5 inches long using a TWGT 7-B2P fairway shaft, tipped 1.5 inches, with a TWGT V-series oversize grip. I built it to a swingweight of D-1, like the rest of my fairway metals.
