Description

How much do you really know about your golf clubs? Did you know that: The lower the loft on your driver, the farther you'll hit it? Your new driver has a larger "sweetspot?" You are playing a stiff shaft, because it says so on it. Women's clubs are designed for women? Fine, but the problem is... NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE Tom Wishon, one of the world's leading club designers, takes you on a guided tour of the golf club, explaining in lay language how and why golf clubs work the way they do. Perhaps of even greater importance, he explains what to look for-and what to look out for-when you buy your next club. "...the average golfer knows little more about golf clubs than what he or she reads in advertising or sees in Golf Channel infomercials. This lack of golf equipment knowledge results in millions of golfers attempting to play an already difficult game with equipment that not only won't, but CAN'T POSSIBLY allow them to play to the best of their ability." It turns out the latest cutting-edge frontier in golf... is plain old-fashioned custom club fitting. Do you think: That clubheads made from harder metal will hit the ball farther? The faster you swing, the stiffer your shaft should be? That your clubs are "just like the ones the pros use?" Find out WHY those things are not true and learn the things they do NOT tell you in the golf club ads! Read more

  • Easy read on the hardware of golf.
What really got to me is how Wishon shows that the hardware suppliers have gradually strengthened the lofts of golf clubs and the lengths of the shafts to the point where the average or below average golf hacker will find it more difficult to improve his game. Wishon shows how to take charge of your game. He points out simple things that you can do to improve your golf equipment as well as advising you to get to the nearest clubmaking professional who will measure you for a set of clubs that will help you to improve your game. Wishon feels that it is the average golfer who can benefit for custom clubs built to the individual measurements made by a clubmaking professional. ... show more

  • The NEW Search for the Perfect Golf Club
Tom Wishon gives us more than enough data and explanation to figure out how to fit our golf clubs. Or, at least why we should find a good club fitter. I've been fighting with my instructor/ club builder for years. With this book as a guide , I built a new driver to size and I started hitting fairways. I Sold the club to a friend ( for what it cost me ) I cut my own driver cut down and had it re-swing-weighted and it's great. I shaved off about 7 strokes by having a driver I can consistently hit on the sweet spot. It is an easy read and I think it gave me the big picture more than any other golf book. ... show more

  • Great read!
A must read if you are serious about improving your game!

  • A must read for anyone purchasing golf clubs
This is probably the single most valuable book you could read prior to purchasing any golf clubs. It is clearly written and contains an absolute wealth of knowledge. If you're buying a dryer, I recommend his search for the perfect driver as well.

  • The New search for the perfect golf club
Let's get this straight. In terms of informational value, this is a very good book. The three stars are due to the faulty printing. It is annoying to have pages printed much much lighter than other pages throughout the book. I initially thought this was a problem with a single page, but no it is going on throughout the book. Great material, poor printing. ... show more

  • It All Makes Sense!
My dad has read and re-read the book three times. He is delighted to find the same information in print he has known personally for years and has conveyed to his golf students. Says this author knows what he is talking about!!

  • Just what I needed to read
This was the answer to my nagging questions regarding club fitting. I knew it! There just had to be more than what we are presented with off the rack. Thank you Tom for this information!
