Wishon Confidence (The Eagle has landed)

[Nessism]

Just finished building up the 755PC's. The build itself was uneventful and without issue. The heads are beautifully finished and came well packed.


I'll post up a review as soon as I get a chance to play them.

Edit: typed 775 instead of 755. Sorry Tom.

What shafts did you choose? I'm interested to hear how they compare to Ping's G25. I feel like the cavity is somewhat similar in appearance.

Original Royal Precision Rifles. 6.0 flex. I ordered two 8-iron heads by mistake so going to shaft one with a Dynamic Gold Pro to compare against though.

These 755's are a smig smaller than G25's, with less offset. The offset numbers are low in the short irons but to my eye though, the offset is quite noticeable.

Great thread PD. I have a 919 driver, 949 4 wood, 3, 4 and 5 775hs hybrids, and the black limited edition wedges. All the clubs are amazing. I don't think I'll be replacing my i20's anytime soon but if I did it would be for the 771's.

Sorry for the skim but why did you switch out 771 scoring clubs for the 560's?

WpgMike,

l decided to create a 560/771 combo set because I wanted to experiment with a bit less offset in the short irons. I was turning the ball over and was missing greens long and left.

Some context: At the time that I was beginning my Wishon journey I was undergoing a series of swing changes. I had played a weak fade for nearly 15 years. I took my first lessons and the instructor(s) changed my grip, ball position, posture, and angle of attack. In the past year I've gone from an upright swing to a flat swing. The result . . . I struggle to hit a fade and now produce a fairly repeatable draw. I've gained yardage and have essentially eliminated the right side, but I'm prone to the occasional hook/flier.

The 771s sit closed at address and as a result of the swing changes I was struggling to square the face. I'd turn my hands over and *poof* . . . left and long.

Since I've added the 560s in the short irons I'm hitting more greens as the amount of right to left curvature has been reduced. The ball-flight is a tad lower and the irons are about 5 yards shorter on well struck shots (could be related to slightly weaker lofts), but this isn't a concern given their function.

It should be interesting because I will be sending the 560s back to Kadin so that he can install graphite shafts as I've been dealing with an awful case of tendonitis in my elbows. The 771 short irons will enter the rotation again and I'll get to compare.

Ya, PD has a flat swing ala Matt Kucher. Nice draw with his driver.

G64,

I wish you could have seen my swing prior to the lessons. I couldn't hit a draw if you paid me to a few years back.

I've been fortunate to work with a few exceptional instructors and my wife affords me the opportunity to continue to refine my game.

Life's good.

Now you just have to get her on the course and we have a new 4 some!?
