Tom Wishon Golf Technology is recognized as the highest quality
designer of high performance original clubheads, shafts, grips and
fitting technology products used by independent professional custom
clubmakers around the world.
Having begun his career in clubmaking in 1972, Tom has worked
exclusively since 1980 to develop a truly “high-end” segment within
the custom clubmaking side of the golf equipment industry. In 2001,
tired of the emphasis on sales and profit, Tom left the corporate
side of the golf equipment industry to move back to his home state
of Colorado and build his own company. Tom Wishon Golf Technology is
committed only to developing the highest quality designs and
increasing awareness among golfers of the true game improvement
benefits of real custom fitting.
From the thousands of hours of research he has performed over the
course of his career, Tom Wishon has established himself as the
leading authority on clubmaking and clubfitting technology in the
golf equipment industry. He is the author of 7 books on different
technical areas within clubmaking, and has written hundreds of
equipment related articles for virtually every golf publication in
the industry. As Terry McSweeney, Director of Communications for the
PGA of America states, “Tom has the unique ability to communicate
technical issues about golf equipment so non-technically minded
people can easily understand and follow the subject."
Tom Wishon is also an 11-year member of the Golf Digest magazine
Technical Advisory Panel, and has been the Technical Advisor to the
PGA of America’s web site, PGA.com since 2004. He is considered the
‘go-to guy’ by the equipment editors for virtually all of the major
consumer golf publications in their search for honest,
marketing-free, technical explanations about the technical
performance of golf clubs.
Tom is the only designer from the custom clubmaking segment of
the golf industry whose clubhead designs have been used to win on
the PGA Tour and in Ryder Cup competition. He has designed and
custom built the golf clubs used in competition by Scott Verplank,
Bruce Lietzke, Ben Crenshaw, as well as the last set of clubs played
by Payne Stewart before his tragic departure from the game in 1999.
As Tom stated in making his decision to establish his own
company, “I completely respect the work that the large golf
equipment companies pursue in their quality and R&D, but my 30 plus
years in golf club research has proven that the best set of golf
clubs any golfer will ever buy will be a set of true custom made
clubs, fit and built by a professional clubmaker using the very best
quality and performing clubhead, shaft and grip |
