Here is a testimonial from a very happy customer who has just been custom fitted for a full set of Tom Wishon golf clubs. He was very pleased with the fitting experience and particularly with his new clubs. As a professional I can see that the Tom Wishon Your Fit Programme benefits players of all ages and abilities.
David's new Wishon clubs have improved his game in a number of ways. I would say the benefits to David are:
His distances have increased
His accuracy has improved
His clubs are more suited to him and therefore they feel easier to use
He is enjoying his game more.

A Golfing Problem Solved
I wonder how many older players are finding the last few holes of each round hard work! Osteo-arthritis of neck, stiff shoulder joints and a jerky swing result in a feeling that one is swinging lead weights by the end of the round. In my case, a condition of the hands called Dupuytren’s syndrome is gradually stiffening the finger joints. It is painful, though for others this is not always so. I felt in simple terms, I needed clubs that were lighter in weight and which transmitted less “reaction” through the Regular shaft to my painful hands, forearms and shoulders.
I went to discuss these problems with Carla White, WPGA professional at the Sycamore Golf Centre at Golborne. She recommended that I study the Tom Wishon Golf technology web site to gain some knowledge of golf club design and technology. Impressed I returned to Carla to be “measured” using the latest technology. This includes swing speed, ball flight and direction and spin. As important, the professional can assess or in my case knows after a number of years, the type of game I play.
The details were sent to Tom Wishon and his recommendations were received within a week. In my case these were for a driver, two fairway woods (5 & 7), two hybrids (5 & 6) and 8& 9 irons and three wedges. I was able to choose and try three of these clubs on the course before purchase. The whole process took about four weeks from start to finish.
Was it worth it? The significant reduction in club weight and the almost zero reaction to my painful hands and shoulders is very real. I have no doubt that that my playing lifetime will be increased! Of greater interest to all golfers are the greater distances that I am achieving with all clubs and with greater “feel” with the wedges.
Why buy clubs “off the peg” when you can be” fitted” by a professional who will assess your game and use modern technology to design a set of clubs especially for you. These clubs will be designed to suit the characteristics of your physique and game. A little more expensive probably: it may not turn you into the club champion but it will help the development of your golfing skills and certainly increase your enjoyment of this wonderful game.
