New Wishon 365PF fairway metalwoods


NiftyNiblick

Recommended Posts

I seriously like the looks of the new Wishon 365PF fairway metals in 18,   21,  and   24.5º, even if I'd have to ignore the stupid club numbers stamped on them.

 

If anybody gets hands on with these things, any loft, give us a review.

 

Even if you  don't like them, it might not be in a way that would effect me...or it might.

 

I can usually rely on my eyes, but I'd love to see a first hand opinion,

All I can say is these look somewhat similar to my 929HS I play. Mine is a 4w and was custom fit. I hit it very well. I can't provide the specs at this time but my 929 also has a Wishon S2S green shaft in it. It's been an easy hitting and reliable club with great feel. I certainly like the look of these new 365's. I don't mind the numbers on the bottom (like mine) since I hardly every see or pay attention to them. But as far as my club goes it looks very good and classy at address.

As our kielbasa-eating buddy so aptly suggests, up front  adjustability for loft, lie, and face angle without silly moving parts [i'm sorry--I added that last part] should be a staple of the entire industry.  Tommy's definitely ahead of the pack, here.

I'm digging the low profile of the fairway head and the bendability of the hosel is a sweet touch. once I have the setting I want and like on my adjustable club, i just leave it there. i know there are a lot of tinkerers out there who like to play with the setting themselves to try to figure it.

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but

I came across another smaller club company called RedBird (not calling Wishon small in any type of negative way, but relative to what is mostly offered/ easily available), ran across them on instagram and they have some cool designs, but $275 for the fairway with my preferred Aldila Voodoo or RIP shaft is a a bit much for me. I don't know about the adjustability of their stuff, but their Avian series fairway head intrigues me.

There's only 2 loft offerings right now, but they custom build everything in their little shop in Seattle.

 

 

 

I know it's been mentioned before, but it'd be sweet if MGS could do a Most Wanted small company competition. If they're willing to invest to purchase a bunch of Titleist gear since they won't participate willingly, some of these smaller companies might jump at the chance to reach MGS's readers, and be able to donate, or if not due to finances, at least heavily discount.

365PF Fairway Woods

Progressive Fairway Wood Profile Design, Fit and Build as all Fairway Wood or as Combined Fairway and Hybrid Set Makeup.

Features:

  • The most versatile fairway wood design created. Head size and shape progresses gradually from traditional fairway wood in the #3 and 4 to slightly smaller fairway profile for the #5, to a slightly more narrow fairway to semi-broad hybrid in the #7 and 9.
  • Twin weight bores allows assembly from traditional fairways
    to hybrid lengths as desired for the golfer.
  • The highest smash factor found in a conventional investment cast steel head, achieved through TWGT's metallurgical experience and knowledge. 365PF offers the best combination of performance and value in a woodhead design.

I'm pretty sure the same machine used to bend irons is not the same for drivers and FW metals. Wishon has a video addressing this issue. It might also be a special clamping fixture device used to hold the heads properly is all that's necessary. Look on YouTube at Wishons vids. I think you'll find it.

I'm not sure Mr. Wishon likes people quoting the wholesale prices of the components as it hurts the custom clubmakers business. Not everyone can buy the components like you can at Golfworks, etc.

I was quite honest when I requested an account.....I only build for myself, family, and friends, NOT for profit. I'm also sure he probably wouldn't appreciate a custom clubmaker quoting me $250 for a $110 build (and that is including the price for grip tape and epoxy).

Fair enough but why is it OK for an OEM to charge $250 for a $110 build?  At least with the clubmaker you're supporting a local business and getting (hopefully) a correct custom fit and paying for his manual labor as opposed to paying a sweatshop in China to assemble the clubs.
