I have recently switched to the TW 915 CFE (420 cc) High launch driver together with Aldida NV shaft. My coach (at the local pro shop) suggested that I drop my Taylor Made R580 10.5 driver with this due to my slower swing speed. I was earlier sceptical about it, especially when he told me that it is about 15 degrees in loft.

I have used it since Oct 2006 and have been averaging above 210 metres, sometime reaching 230 meters! Now, I am much longer that my playing partners - sometime by 30 meters! Best of all, the shot is long and straight (compare previosuly).

Recently, I have added the 915CFE 3+ wood into my golf bag. I have no problem hitting from the tee - with a distance of 180 meters. BUT with a 14 degree loft, I have difficulty and still adjusting of the fairway / off the deck.

I must congratulate you for such good equipment. If my pro did not introduce it to me, I will still be struggling off the tee. Good luck and keep it up :)

I have recently built a 919CCG (9.5 degree) fitted to an Interflexx HL R shaft. A 20 handicap has gone to 18. A long drive for me was 180 metres. I now regularly drive 220 metres. Thanks to Ludwig for his patience in answering my many questions. With the online istruction pages building clubs is easy and a source of great satisfaction. Keep up the great work.

I recently built myself the Nightfire 9.5 Degree Driver, I put the Wishon ZT series mid to high launch shaft. Tom I gotta tell you in over 30 years of playing golf, most of it in mid to low single figures, I have never hit a Driver with such a beautiful feel off the face and the launch angle is something to behold, I usually hit the driver around the 255 meteres mark but I have gained 20 to 30 meteres off the tee.

I am so impressed I am now going to build your 915 3+ and 5+ fairway wood's. I will use the same shaft as in the Driver. I have no doubt this will put me in good stead for our summer season just about to start.

So to cut a long story short, guys keep up the great work and Tom you are the greatest club designer I have had the pleasure of knowing."

"Right from my first enquiry Ludwig and the team at Clubmate Golf have been very professional and responsive. It is refreshing that someone is taking the time to bring in the premium quality components (such as the Wishon gear) into the Australian market at fair prices and is backing them up excellent service and support. Thanks again for allowing me to focus on what I do best, clubmaking, and not having to worry about customs and shipping problems on components I previously had to source overseas" -

Yesterday I completed my fifth round of golf and “umpteen” hours of range work with my new TW clubs (915 CFE 1,3,5,7 & 550C/550M). INCREDIBLE--CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE THE BEST!

"It has been great to follow your career and see you now, with your own company, away from the corporate b.s, where you can do what you do best—make the finest golf clubs in the game. It is good to see good things happen to good people.

"Every TW component I have is awesome and I have to add that the Series 5 Graphite Shaft is exceptional. I have hit them all and I can tell you that this stands out. TW clubs are superior to anything on the market. It is a shame consumers are so blind sided by the advertising, tour incentive money, etc. of the OEM’s that entice the public to buy these brands. It’s a joke. I am not saying that there are not innovative and quality products coming from some of the OEM’s, but nothing like your work. You should be very proud.

"Thank you for not going to Titleist, or anywhere else, and for starting Tom Wishon Golf Technology."

"Personally, I'm glad that you (Tom Wishon) stayed with the golf component side of the industry. I am a loyal believer in you and your proven abilities in providing clubmakers with the latest in clubhead designs, fitting principles and advice. I, as well as others, will buy, follow your advice and support you and TWGT now and in the future."

" I recently assembled a test/demo club using the 939H 3-iron head with a .335 Series 5 Steel shaft and wanted to compliment you. The first time I hit the club, my swing wasn't very good and I hit it way on the toe. The thing is, I had no idea I had hit it on the toe until I looked at the club and saw the impact mark. I lost NO distance, and the ball flew straight as an arrow.

" I'm very impressed. In addition, I used the V-Series cord grip, and it's by far the best feeling cord grip I've ever used. It doesn't feel rough and hard like most, rather, soft and smooth, but with the secure feel for which I use a cord grip. Products such as this certainly do their part to establish confidence in the quality and design of your products."

" I am playing the 919CCG, 13° driver, with the InterFLEXX shaft. I'm hitting it farther than any driver I've hit before, and I can honestly say that I've never had that happen before. Tom's stuff is top quality, second to none, not even the OEM's. I am personally convinced that you cannot find better heads and shafts than Tom's company and the service is superb, even to the way they pack their orders.

"At least that's my opinion! :-)"

"I make custom putters, and have used many many component putter heads over the years. Brand recognition is a huge selling factor for most golfers, too bad the brand name doesn't put the ball in the hole.
"Wishon is a name most serious golfers recognize, and lends us builders some of that brand recognition we need in order to sell higher end products.

"The Smoooth series, especially the 6 and 7, have a feel unlike most I've ever used. And they have a look that really works.

"I work in a small area that requires art as well as function, and these heads are the perfect compliment to that.

"Thanks Tom for a great product!!!"

"I'm the club fitter/maker for the Dr. Jim Suttie Golf Academy at Green Garden Country Club in Frankfort, IL. Dr. Suttie has been ranked as the #1 teacher in Illinois and the 11th in the nation. Unfortunately he does not have the "PR" that lesser teachers seem to have.

"I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the 915 CFE driver heads that you offer. I continually see ball speeds increase by at least 20 MPH on our launch monitor. I had a lady who used her Callaway driver and your 915 CFE and she increased her down range yardage by 40 yards!! I am finally getting golfers in my shop who realize that they need more loft and your 915 CFE drivers are a welcome addition to my arsenal. I also have golfers waiting with bated breath for the release of the 949 driver.

"Thank you for turning down the position with Titleist and going into business for yourself. I also appreciate the options you offer with the INTERFLEX shafts. They are GREAT!! I look forward to more innovations by Tom Wishon Golf Technology."

"These 752TC irons are staying in my bag for a long-time. I hit them straight, particularly the long irons. Feel was very good and mishits (especially those on the toe) kept on line with good distance. Overall, I couldn't be a happier camper."

"I’m 62-years-old and have been playing golf with big brand-name clubs for nearly 30 years. Currently, I’m a 16-handicap and unhappy with my Callaway Big Bertha irons, so I began searching for the best component, forged cavity clubs and a quality clubmaker. I soon learned about Tom Wishon Golf Technology — the leading name in component club products — and his newly designed Wishon 550 (C)avity and (M)uscle-back forged irons. Luckily, I was also directed to a clubmaker for purchase and assembly.

"I received my new set of Wishon 550C’s forged irons (4-PW+GW) and was very impressed with their look, feel and craftsmanship. I’d put them up against any big name irons for looks, quality, feel and playability, and I know new prospective buyers will agree with me. These clubs were built with the new Wishon Series 5 steel shafts. I was advised that every shaft in the set had the same 5cpm (cycles per minute) slope, a perfect frequency-matched set which you could never buy off the Pro Shop shelf from a big name company.

"When I hit these new irons, they are soft feeling for a forged club and very forgiving, and I think the 550s would be excellent clubs for players of any handicap level. I was typically hitting my Big Bertha 5-iron about 170 yards, but I consistently hit the 550c 5-iron a consistent 180-185 yards straight and true! Then, an assistant pro at the club hit the 5-, 7- and 9-iron and all he could say was, 'These are Pure!' Of course, I will never buy the so-called big name clubs again!"

"Just an unsolicited testimonial - I had to write! I'm an experienced clubmaker, passed my PCS Class A over ten years ago and have ranged since from basement work to having a full retail storefront operation. A clubmaking buddy of mine tipped me off about your product just last month, so I ordered up a 3 and 4 TW 321LI with the 335 graphite shafts. Living in northern Wyoming, I didn't expect to be able to hit them until I go back to my job with the Futures Golf Tour next month - but we had a break in the weather this week, and out I went. I absolutely am in love! I'm a 2 hdcp, playing Cleveland TA3's right now, and these two irons completely outperformed anything I've ever hit in a long iron. First hit with the three iron was on a par 3 - 213 to the middle, which is about 4 yards beyond the reach of my old 3 iron. This ball took off with a launch angle of about a 6 iron, flew about 7 yards past the middle, and stuck within 7 feet of that. Great design, great club, and I'm totally sold on the .335 shafts in a long iron now!"

"These Irons [550 C and M] are the best forged Irons I have ever hit. I am 75 years old and depend on a club going the exact distance I need. With tipping them a little weaker than Regular the ZT shaft is perfect. I hit every club, including the 3 Iron, very straight. The V grip has kept me from pulling the ball when I jump on one. I am completely satisfied and will play these while I have sets of Hogans, Nike and Cleveland Irons collecting dust."

"Thanks for all the information, the personal response, and designing and producing a fantastic product. Took me a while to get the clubs built, but I just finished hitting the set of 550C's that I had built with a set of Project X 5.5 shafts. I was stunned; absolutely the best feeling, most accurate clubs I have ever hit. A beautiful clubhead design, and functionality that even surpasses the astounding looks. In my opinion the 550's easily exceed the other OEM (Mizuno and Hogan) and component forgings that I have tried. I am certain that these will be my go to set for many years to come. Now, just need to get the wedges and kick those Hogans out of my bag..........

"If more people knew of these forgings, many OEM's would be running for their lives. All that has been written about the C & M forgings doesn't even come close to the actual performance and feel!

"BTW - I ran into someone in Calgary with a TWGT baseball cap. How can I get hold of one. I would be proud to wear one out on the course, and be an advocate for what I feel are the best clubheads on the market."

Thanks again for all the assistance, and for such an outstanding product,

- Dave Iredale (a happy TWGT convert!!!!!)l

"Long, longer,longest driver I have ever hit. I recently made a 725 CrMoly 11 degree with an Interflex(s) low-mid launch. The 310 cm head looks and sets up much smaller than it is. If you are uncomfortable to use large heads this one is the answer especially with the distance it carries."

"I thought I would give you some feedback on the Interflexx. I hit a snake eyes 600t with a aldila nv stiff in the tent. the readings although somewhat inaccurate showed an average of 245 with a 210 carry. then I hit the 600t with the Interflexx high launch stiff. I averaged 268 with a 230 carry. At first the shaft felt stiff. Then it dawned on me that the butt stiffness and the tip stiffness can be independent with this shaft unlike the usual shaft properties. The result was a firm but friendly feel, like nothing I have ever felt before. I think I'm getting it!!!

"I cant wait for the iron to compare your head and shaft to an Infinity with an Apache 58+. I think I know what the results will be."

"Since you asked for comments, I want you to know how Impressed and Happy I am that I found your company! By nature I am an 'analytical' and willing to check out new ideas. I first learned about you in a Chat-room on The Golf Channel Internet Site. Once I saw some of the favorable comments about your products I decided to try and locate your Home Page. Once I did I read through EVERYTHING I could find and then asked you to send me one of your catalogs. After reading through it from cover to cover, trying to understand your various products ... I decided to order one of your 550M and 550C Forged heads, so I called your customer service number, and was EXTREMELY Happy to reach a REAL PERSON, named Kim, and not have to deal with a voice prompt system! After talking with Kim and listening to her suggestions I changed my thinking and ordered a 550M, 7 iron and a 550C, 5 iron; plus a couple of your Series 5 steel shafts... Kim did a GREAT job in answering ALL my questions and addressing my concerns! Once I placed the order I realized that I should have ordered some "Brass Hosel weights", the 550 iron ferrules and even decided to give your epoxy a try... so I called back and talked to a man (didn't get his name) who was very helpful and able to add those items to my order and by sundown the same day I received a shipping confirmation number! That's GREAT SERVICE to say the least... Thank YOU for some GREAT products and I want to encourage you to keep offering products which I think are THE BEST that TECHNOLOGY has to offer! It was your Technology that first attracted my interest in your products."
