You're probably
wondering "I thought this was a website for only putters?"
For the most part it is. However, I also custom fit golfers
with full set's of clubs (in my local area). I don't
take custom orders for full sets of clubs over the internet,
because I believe in order to fit someone properly to a full set
of clubs, it needs to be done in person. There are simply
too many factors and variables that need to be personally
addressed in order to fit someone properly to a custom fit, full
set of golf clubs.
However, I do want to bring your
attention to a new technology developed by a very talented man
by the name of "Tom Wishon." I have done an in depth
research study on this man, and what he's done for the golfing
world, and it 's simply amazing! Tom has been highlighted
and/or published 100s of times in many of the better known golf
publications (like Golf Digest), around the globe, he has written and published many
books on golf club technology. He has fitted many PGA pros
for their clubs, including the late Payne Stewart's last set.
There are people out there that
know a lot more about custom fitting than I do, Tom Wishon is
one of those people, and I believe that Tom Wishon is the #1
Club Fitter in the world, and is probably as good a club
designer as has ever lived.
The Club Heads and components Tom
has created, I believe to be the best in the world.
Titleist, Ping, Cleveland, Callaway, Taylormade etc... you name
it, he's beat it! The big companies pay billions of
dollars to advertise their product, and that is exactly why they
are so expensive. Wishon has a better product, and by the
time you are custom fit with his product, you've probably saved
some money to boot, and you definitely have a better set of clubs.
Besides his product being better
than the popular brands, his fitting method is new, but mark my
words, "will revolutionize the industry" and over time,
and in my opinion, will replace
the "Swing Weight Balancing" method that has been used for the
past 80 years. Toms method is not to balance a set of
clubs by "Swing Weight" but by MOI balancing them (MOI: Moment
Of Inertia). For the past 10 years or so, the term MOI has
been talked about often in clubhead design, but Tom has applied
the term and found the scientific door to MOI matching each club
within a set to the same MOI. In reality, and the way I
see it, when swing weight balancing was invented, it was really
MOI balancing they were after.
Without getting into technical
data (I'll let Tom explain that to you), I would compare the
term "Swing Weight Balancing" a set of clubs to the term "Carbon
Dating". Now, if you're any kind of a scientist, you'll
know that Carbon Dating is not and exact science. and therefore
leaves room for guessing, but it's the best we have in our
feeble attempt at estimating the age of rocks, bones, etc...
And that is exactly how I see "Swing Balancing" club to club to
club... It's the best method found so far, to balance golf
clubs.
I still Swing Weight balance full
sets of clubs for my clients who either don't want to pay the
extra cost for the MOI balancing, or whom simply are set in
their ways, and don't like change. You be the judge, visit

and most accurate method of balancing a set of golf clubs.
Enjoy!
