775HS HYBRID IRONS

A Unique Hybrid Design with Thin Face, High COR Performance and a Unique Soft Stainless Steel Hosel for a Wide Range of Lie and Face Angle Fitting Options

Features:

  • Thin, High COR, High Strength HS350 Steel Alloy Face offers higher ball speed for more distance in a hybrid head design.  Few companies can offer a high COR design in a hybrid

  • Unique 304 Stainless Steel Hosel allows for much greater ease in bending lie and face angle to broaden custom fitting options (+/-4°)

  • Split Level, Narrowed Sole Width to reduce sole to turf contact for more solid shotmaking from fairway or rough conditions

  • 775HS Face Progression is in between that of an Iron and Fairway Wood to enable golfers to play the 775HS with the same ball position and swing motion as an iron of the same loft

  • Available in RH in #2, 3, 4, 5

Tom,

Will you be releasing a successor to this hybrid with a similar profile (e.g., no visible offset and a face height of 34 mm)?

These are perfect for hitting out of bermuda rough, where the ball may be sitting at different heights (the lower profile hybrids often go “under the ball”).

Thanks!

Hi Tom
Hope you are doing well!
I currently have a full set of Wishon clubs and I’m gaming your DI 2 iron, which I love. Great from the tee box.
Sometimes I feel like I need a club that goes higher and I’m thinking about rotating the 2 iron with a 3 hybrid. I like both the RS and 775 but I think you mentioned you are about to launch a new hybrid.
What kind of hybrid will it be? Closer to a wood or iron?
Would it be possible to get any news of upcoming hybrids?

Hi Tom,
I bought the 775 hybrid and its a great club to hit. I have always had a problem hooking hybrids. At set up I find the 775 looks very closed. My question is. can I adjust it to sit more open? Or will that change the loft? I have experience adjusting lofts and lies on irons but I have never adjusted a hybrid.

Seasons greetings Tom, Trust you are well. Am having a gapping review, and thought I would reach out to you. Apologies if this is not the right place for the questions in italics. I had 775HS hybrids built in 2010: 2H 18 degrees at 39.75″, 3H 21 degrees at 39.25″ and 4H 24 degrees at 38.75″ with S2S black graphite stiff shafts. I don’t know if they were weighted or tipped, and I guess not as I can’t recall mention during the fitting/build. Is there an easy check on whether this was tipped? And my 5-SW Sterlings Single Length (SSL) are dated September 2016 at 36.5″… Read more »

Hi, I have two of these in my bag and very pleased with them ( also have 318 s which I used previusoly for a while). However the paint seems to chip very easily on the 775s. (-they are kept in headcovers in the bag so well protected ), which tbh makes me think the paint finish wasnt up to scratch (excuse the pun) .This wasnt a problem with the 318s which look fine despite being used more . So, they look a bit beat up after only 6 months of use . Do you know where in the uk… Read more »

Thank you for the comment.

Its great you are happy with the 775’s performance but not so with the paint finish. The easiest option if you are unhappy with the clubs is to take them back to where you bought them from. They should then contact us in regard sorting out replacement heads.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I’ve been a devotee of your designs for several years going back to the Golfsmith / Golfworks days. As I’ve recently turned 70, I decided to go with a 6 775HS hybrid vs my 6 771CSI iron. I currently use a 3 and 5 775 hybrids at 22 and 27 degrees that perform well for me.
However I noticed that the 775HS 6 hybrid is not listed on the Diamond Golf website. Is it no longer being made? I don’t see any current Wishon alternatives at a 31 degree loft.

Thanks for your time

Tom a couple of questions. I have a customer that wants to buy my older Golfsmith Professional Loft & Lie Machine with the stand. I also have had more than a few customers that would like to bend the hosel for hybrids, fairway woods, and possibly the driver. My machine is in excellent shape and I can pretty much get what I originally paid for the Golfsmith machine. Golf Mechanix has the machine that pretty much bends everything. Tom I am pretty much retired. What would be the best machine considering cost, functional qualities, and ease of use? I could… Read more »

Tom I have seen the video that you were referring to and I think I can make molds to work. I have a friend who can fabricate just about anything one can imagine so if I run into trouble (I Usually do) he will come up with a solution He kind of reminds me without the accent of the mad genius Mondher. I have the Mondher Golfsmith machine so now I have to rationalize a new loft and lie machine from Golf Mechanix Thanks Tom .

Hi Tom, Just trying to wrap my head around the altering of the Face angle. I have your 919 Driver, The 929hs 2, 3, and 4 Woods, and a 3, 4, 5, and 6 775hs Hybrids. I have everything bent 2 degrees flat to help calm down my hook a little, and from what I’m researching it sounds like also having the face angle bent open would also help settle things down a little. My question is the specs say that the clubs can be bent upwards of 4 degrees, is that 4 degrees total, or in a hypothetical scenario… Read more »

Hi Tom,
I’m planning to work with Bob Howe in Perth (Australia) on a minimalist golf set which will likely include a 3 hybrid as the ‘distance’ club after a driver.
My current thoughts are for this to go with the AW, 8, 6 from the 565MC set.
Is there a benefit of selecting the 775RS over the 318RS?
Thanks

Hi Tom–In conjunction with our conversation on your irons, is it safe to assume that if I go with a 4-iron in your set (either the 771s or the 979s) that a properly measured (read just slightly shorter than the 4-iron) 3-hybrid would provide a good gap (not too much–I shake my head at the companies that want to sell you their hybrid because it goes farther. I don’t want one that “goes far” I want one that will provide me with a one-club gap past my previous club!) from my 4-iron? After getting my irons made, the next step… Read more »

Hi Tom–As always, thanks for your help. After reading your other replies, I will definitely have my club maker (a man by the name of Dick Leach in Aiken, SC) be making me a set of 771s (I still await your recommendation regarding my suggested makeup before making the final decision) in the next couple of weeks. Then, the hybrid. After that all I will need are a couple of specialty wedges and my set is complete. (I already have your 919THI driver in my bag)
Thanks again.

Hi, Tom–Once again, my bad. I just saw your answer to my question regarding set makeup and lofts. Sorry for the confusion. I can’t wait for Dick to get going on my new set. Now I have to decide on what shaft I will use and we will proceed from there.
Thank you for all of your help. I will let you know the next time I shoot (or better!) my age. LOL

Hi Tom,
i have a client who is currently using SSL irons 5-LW at 8i length (36.5). He’s chosen to replace his current hybrids and 5/6 SSL irons with 2/3/4/5 775HS hybrids.
Should i make these to standard variable lengths (39.5/39/38.5/38 inches) a i assume they cannot be all the same lenght?

Tom, I’m going to have a meeting with Ed at Ed’s Custom Golf in next couple of days. Really looking forward to getting his help retooling my bag. During the last couple of months of practice I’ve really come to rely on my hybrids off the tee and with my 2nd shots. I simply find them more reliable with my swing. I have a question about developing a hybrid to complement my 7 iron, perhaps my smooth 6 iron swing. Monday night I hit 6 iron on a par 3 hole that requires careful distance control to avoid going into… Read more »

Hi Tom, I am curious as to why the hosel bores are .335 vs. .370 when the hybrids are replacing long and mid irons? Would not the .370 shaft be a more suitable match if exchanging out the iron for the hybrid at the same approximate playing length? Can these hosels be shimmed to take a .370 shaft or would that not be recommended? Thanks for all you have done to make golf more enjoyable for the masses.

Hi Tom, Have just bought a Wishon 979 SS six iron set (7i-SW) from Sr. Ronald Barret at http://www.rjgolfclubs.com and I consider to add in a 6-hybrid from the 775HS familiy to close the distance gaps in my bag. I (m, 52 years old and a high handicapper at HCP 34, ) have played golf for 3 years and the fitting measured me to a swingweight of approx C9 (my irons and clubs are MOI-matched too).

Thank you Tom for your feedback as it is greatly appreciated…Along the same lines, I just purchased your 5 hybrid to match the 3 and 4 I already have. By the way, I love the way they feel…With that said, I built it to 37 inches because I played my 5 iron at 37” and could not find a way to get the head weight back nor the feel. I used a tip weight and also added weight to the port and could only achieve C4 SW. I have also ordered a 25g grip so hopefully I can get back… Read more »

Eric, I would consider playing the 775 # 5 hybrid at 37.5 i.e. -1/2 inch from Tom’s intended length for this Hybrid’s spec head weight. Taking full advantage of the added 18 grams total to the weight ports this should achieve a D0.8 swing weight. While going to a 25 gram grip is certainly a viable part of the solution it will restrict your choices of grips.

Reply to  Tom Wishon

Tom, with the advancement of shaft technology and the ability to adjust shaft profile to suit different player/swing types I would think .370 shafts could be designed to match any characteristics designed into .335 shafts. Looking at shafts available through Golfworks there are no listings for .335 hybrid shafts thus limiting options to your shaft offerings. Would .335 fairway shafts generally be a viable option for your hybrids? If one were to bore out your hybrids to .370 what weight loss should one expect? Thanks.

Tom, thanks for your reply detailing your experience in designing your shafts and reasoning for not pivoting to .370 hosel sizing for your hybrids. My question on possible hybrids in future being designed with a .370 hosel was my experience with a particular .370 shaft which I would like to use in your 775HS hybrid. If I were to convert this hybrid to .370 what should I expect for weight loss? Thanks.

I am building a set of 575mmc irons with the PCF Micro Pro wedges. The FC 80 Steel Fiber .370 shafts tipping chart recommends that the PW be tipped at 4 7/8 ” I believe, But no tipping for the 52,56 60 wedges. Could you please advise me on how much the wedges should be tipped?

Reply to  Bobby Marson

Bobby
I have never seen a situation where the gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge tip trims for a shaft are zero when the PW is more normal at 4+ inches. Only if the shafts for the wedges were specifically DIFFERENT and made ONLY for the wedges would that possibly be true. 99% of the time all the wedges for the same shaft would be tip trimmed the same. Best to double check with the maker of the shafts to get this clarified before you start cutting.

I have a set of these hybrids. I remember back in the day that you could tip a wood steel shaft to match the irons. I currently play Nippon 950GH S and would like to put the same shaft in them. Any ideas to tip these to match my irons.

Reply to  Bill Ramos

BILL: As long as the tip diameter of the wood shaft matched the bore diameter of the hybrid it is possible to use a wood shaft in a hybrid. Now that being said, it is no small challenge to try to figure out how much to tip the wood shaft because factors like the shafts actual stiffness progression and tip parallel length come into the picture to cloud things. In the end it really is much better to find a hybrid shaft that fits your swing than to be working in the clouds trying to guess how to trim a… Read more »

Hi Tom,
I currently play the Sterling Irons including the Sterling 5h.
I’m thinking of having some 775’s built as single length clubs at 39.5 or 40 inches in length.
My swing speed with my irons is approximately 80-85 mph.
If I have the 4h 775 built to this length is it likely to generate more distance than the Sterling 5h.
Would I have enough swing speed to generate good distance with the 2/3 775h at this length.

Peter: There is a custom clubmaker in Canada who has done very well making a single length hybrid set from the 775 hybrid heads. The fact that the heads have two weight bores helps tremendously for achieving matched swingweights when the hybrids are all made to one length. He tells us he has good success with this. There is absolutely no question that a 775-4 hybrid made to 39, 39.5, 40 inches would hit the ball longer than the Sterling #5 hybrid. The reason is because of the big length difference between 39-40 and back down to the 36.5 or… Read more »
