NiftyNiblick Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskanski Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The good news is that they all have bendable hosels - which means custom fitting for lie and face angle are a doddle. It's a great pity some of the other OEM's don't embrace this simple yet effective option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaidJacket Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 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.

NiftyNiblick Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McaseyM Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 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.

PlaidJacket Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 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 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).

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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.

NiftyNiblick Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 If major OEM clubheads were sold as such, I could envision a lot of gearhead players buying them that way. This is actually the case with some Major OEM clubs on the Japanese market from what I see on Tour Spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
