 You really cannot buy your golf game . . . |

Before you spend another $400 to $500 on your next driver or $800 to $1200 on your next set of irons, you should consider reading this book.
Tom Wishon addresses many myths:
Does the modern club hit farther than the older clubs?
How much does moment of inertia play a part in your game?
Does your driver have a larger sweet spot?
The lower loft, the farther the ball will travel.
The second longest club in your bag.
Do golf balls make a difference?
The book is organized into sections: Clubhead, shafts, the assembled club, Fitting, grips and golf balls, special populations, the golf industry and custom fitting of golf clubs.
Each topic is clearly and concisely written. It is an owner's guide to the industry of golf.
This book has really made me reconsider buying the 'latest and greatest' new club on the market. The knowledge has already saved me at least ten to twenty-fold (the price of last year's 'hot driver').
His emphasis is on getting the proper club fitted to your swing.
I highly recommend it to the beginner, seasoned golfer, clubfitter, and golf retailer. |

| Golf Digest just published their Hot List; clubs that you can't live without. Before plunking down $400 or more on a new dirver, invest in this book for an alternative look on purchasing new clubs. Tom Wishon, a master clubmaker, makes a great argument for true 'custom fitting' by contacting one of the clubmakers on his website. You'd not go into a deparment store for a suit without trying it on for fit. And you certainly wouldn't take it home without needed alterations, right? So why would you got to a retailer or online merchant and purchase a club without the same considerations? His point is you wouldn't so why would you do the same with a golf club? One size doesn't fit all in mens/womens wear so what makes you think one size fits all in selecting golf clubs? |

This book saves the unsuspecting golf consumer and blows the lid off of the golf equipment manurfacturing industry. Most golfers believe that custom-built equipment benefits professional golfers more than amateur golfers and Tom Wishon defuncts this myth, resoundingly.
Most amateur golfers either don't have the talent or more importantly the time to develop the skills necessary to get the game the pros have. Therefore, custom built clubs would benefit amateurs more than the pros. Ask yourself this question; If Tiger and I were to play a round of golf w/clubs off the rack. Who would win? Duh!!!
Now you know why custom built clubs would benefit you more than a pro golfer.
Also, as Tom points out in this book an amateur golfer can purchase a custom built set of clubs for slightly more than clubs off the rack. As a matter of fact, I purchased a custom built driver, from one of the best custom built golf club manufacturers in the industry for $325 and it was one of the best purchases I've ever made.
I highly recommend this book affirmed everything I already knew about golf equipment and taught me a few things I would have bet my life, I thought I knew.

A Book Every Golfer Should Buy

Tom Wishon is a highly respected club designer who has custom-built clubs for Payne Stewart, Scott Verplank, Ben Crenshaw and many other pro golfers.
If you really are serious about playing golf more consistently and better, then this is a book that you SHOULD/MUST read. It will help you understand why finding a good set of irons, a driver, putter, and wedges is such a costly, time-consuming trial-and-error process that is fraught with uncertainty and lots of marketing hype by the big name brand companies.
Golfers, especially those who suffer with a chronic slice from the tee, will find out why most "off the shelf" drivers are NOT made for distance AND/OR accuracy for the majority of golfers. THE RIGHT STICKS book will explain in clear, easy to understand terms what you can do to correct this and many other problems that result from most "standard" golf clubs.
I have been playing golf for many years and, after reading this book, was amazed (and enlightened) about so many aspects of hitting clubs consistently, accurately, and solidly for optimal distance and lower scoring. MOST of what is in this book you will NOT find in other golfing literature, at your pro shop, or at any of the large golf retail stores and web sites.
If you like this book and want to know more in-depth information about finding a set of clubs that is best suited to your swing, physique, athletic ability, and golf club likes and dislikes, then I highly recommend that you purchase Tom Wishon's book THE SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT GOLF CLUB. |
