The Search for the Perfect Golf Club ADD TO CART
By Tom Wishon, with Tom Grundner
 Selected as the 2005-06 Book of the Year by the International Network of Golf
Look what Tom's done for you lately... He wrote a book. Not just any book, but one that emphasizes what you have to offer the millions of golfers currently buying OEM clubs that don't fit them, and won't help them play to the best of their ability.

Endorsements from golf's luminaries...
"A few years ago, Tom Wishon, with his experience as a designer, helped me understand more about a particular aspect of golf club performance.
"With this book, Tom will help you understand the entire field, make good buying decisions and get the most from your game."
- Arnold Palmer (Member, World Golf Hall of Fame)
"If you are a woman golfer, you MUST get this book! It's the best club information for women golfers I've seen. Tom covers everything we need to know (but maybe were afraid to ask). Do not buy a club from the rack before you learn how much better off you could be with custom fitting."
- Carol Mann (Member, World Golf Hall of Fame)
"In the course of my career I don't know how many pro-am rounds I have played. In all those rounds, rarely have I seen amateurs with clubs that genuinely fit their game. For me, Tom Wishon stripped away the mystery of club fitting, which I believe helped me to become a Top 20 player on the PGA Tour.
"I am convinced this book will allow average golfers to get on the right track with their equipment as well. It is a ‘must read' whether you are a scratch player or a beginner."
- Scott Verplank (PGA Touring Pro)
"Tom Wishon's knowledge of golf equipment isn't theoretical. It's practical. He understands not just the theory of why and how golf equipment works, but how all golfers can make technology work for them.
" Even more importantly, he makes that knowledge easily understood whether you're a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or a CPA trying to break 90."
- Mike Stachura (Equipment Editor Golf Digest magazine)
"Anyone interested in golf equipment needs to encounter Tom Wishon—whether in person or in print. His passion for sharing his knowledge of the equipment we play with borders on the maniacal, yet he always provides clearly mapped out answers to the most complex equipment questions. Tom has always been an indispensable source and I've picked his brain for years. What's left of it is in inside these pages."
- Mike Johnson (Equipment Editor, Golf World magazine)
"I have written about golf equipment and golf technology for a very long time. I can assure you than nobody in the game today knows more about golf clubs than Tom Wishon. Furthermore, he has a passion for golf that is really fun to behold. If the great mystery is understanding how clubs function in the hands of real golfers, Wishon gets my vote as the Sherlock Holmes of golf."
- James Achenbach (Senior Writer and Equipment Editor Golfweek Magazine)
"You can be sure that any project in which Tom is involved will be top notch and I highly recommend any book he writes for any golfer interested in maximizing their performance."
- Chuck Cook (1996 PGA Teacher of the year and coach to four U.S. Open Champions)
And others...
"I told one of my brothers to buy [this] book a few weeks ago. I called him yesterday to touch base and asked how he liked the book. He said 'I don't know.' It turns out his wife started reading it and won't give it to him until she is done with it! My brother said she has never had the slightest interest in a golf book before."
- Ed California
"THANK YOU... for reigniting [my] passion for golf and club making THE RIGHT WAY by writing your book. I had forgotten that I need to have my irons 2 degrees flat and now I know that the shafts in my irons and even in my new woods are probably too stiff and the 9.5 degree driver is not enough loft and at 45” is one inch too long. I rushed out to a local golf shop and had the irons bent correctly since I sold my loft and lie machine when I moved here. I have now found my radar gun (95 mph with driver, 75 with 5 iron), my grip jigs, and swingweight scale and when I finish this letter, I am going to the range to work on my game. The passion is back. Again, THANK YOU!"
- Loy Seal New Orleans, LA
"Just about anyone who reads this HAS to be convinced that he's been doing things all wrong all these years...getting fitted is a no-brainer. At least that's the conclusion I would come to if I had never been exposed to an explanation of the 'facts' before.
"While there is valuable, and clearly explained info in every chapter, I was particularly drawn to those on fitting the Ladies, Seniors, and that terrific Chapter 12 for those of us who are not up to speed with the latest technological gizmos. Of course, the real value is a better informed customer who can, at least, give you his basic requirements...or who knows that they exist when he first comes in."
- Roger Lebel Mission Viejo, CA
"Tom, as I mentioned earlier I decided to give FREE copies of your book to a select group of customers as a way to say 'Thank You' for your business. It will also educate them and help them to sell my products.
"I have a lot more to give out, but here is an interim report:
It works. Giving away the book is as good as you can get for advertising and it's a cheap way to get our message out. So far I've given away nearly a dozen books. I gave away 4 of them Thursday and Friday of last week so they haven't had time to work yet, but the others have produced in either direct sales or indirect sales close to $3,000 so far.
"One of my good customers who buys the latest and greatest on a monthly basis from everybody in town, but has refused to get fitted or buy fitted product or show an interest in anything other then OEMs, got fitted last week and bought a set of irons. He even helped me with the set make-up while quoting the book about long irons to show me he read it."
- Roy Nix Columbus,GA
