Hi Tom. Over the last couple years I’ve added 3-5-7-9 Wishon woods to my bag after falling in love with the s2s black and s2s red shafts. I play 3-5 in black and 7-9 in red. I have a forceful transition and late release and they changed my long game from weakness to strength. So thanks for that. Now I have a chance to buy a set of 565 MC irons with the s2s stiff smooth steel stepless shafts. Could I expect those shafts to perform similarly to the s2s black or red or somewhere in between? My miss is… Read more »

Thanks Tom. I found that I can work the ball left when needed with the S2S Black shaft and I like that option in my 3 and 5 wood.

My current irons are Nippon 950 stiff and I think you wrote somewhere that they are close to a flex softer than the s2s smooth steel. If that’s the case I should get along well with the S2S smooth steel.

I have a chance to buy a secondhand set with that shaft so I think I’ll pull the trigger!

Thanks again.

Hi Tom, I currently play the 565MCs and I heard through the grapevine not long ago that there might be a new design in this lineage coming out. I love these irons. Any truth to the rumor?

Tom, from about 2008-2020 I played about 30 rounds of golf a year with a combo set of the 550’s and averaged a hcp of 9. I tend to trap the ball with my irons and hit them low. Thinking I could lower my hcp with some game improvement clubs switched irons first to Maltby TS1’s and then Ping G425’s. I started playing 130 plus rounds a year and am still a 9 hcp :(. Neither really seemed more forgiving than the 550’s and Although the TS1 had some feel, the 425’s lack feel and lack any kind of predictable… Read more »

Hi Tom, I currently play the 550c irons, purchased a long time ago. Am looking to update my clubs and very much like the 565 MC profile. I used to do some club making in the past and still have my equipment. Do I have to be a certified club maker to purchase your equipment? Thanks Joel

Hi Tom – I’ve had my 565’s for 6 years now and they’ve just been fantastic. Some of irons are starting to rust around the sweet spot and some look a bit worn from so much usage. Does that affect spin/ball flight much and at what point is it best to replace them?

Hello Tom, congrats on the release of the new 585PC irons

I had no idea you had those in the pipeline

Curious to hear your thoughts behind them and the design

MOI will be less than 565’s? Forgiveness for off center hits I mean

Are the 585PC a hybrid of the 565 and 575 designs?

Thank you, Tom.

I now understand that the 585 is a refinement of the 575’s.

That wasn’t clear to me from the product description.

Maybe consider adding some language to the product info to more clearly state that?

I am a big fan of your designs and all that you have done for golfers with your fitting and design expertise

Tom, what’s the standard swingweight of the 565MC irons? Any thoughts on selecting this when buying irons?

Reply to  Tom Wishon

Thanks for the swift reply. If I can find the 3 iron somewhere online with some stock-shaft, I can get my clubbuilder to pull it and build the 3 iron to the same specs as the 3 iron I already have right? I am trying to get a second set of irons that matches the ones I already have. I bought them in 2019 with the stiff S2S Red 110 shaft. Did that one change in more than just looks since 2019?

The clubs today are 1″ longer and about 6* stronger than in1980. A 3 iron today is closer to what a 1 iron used to be.

If I may make a recommendation to get a Di595 in the 21 degree loft to meet your needs for a 3 iron, the offset is minimal, the feel is very good, as is the performance. You can have your clubfitter get the right shaft for you as well. A shaft to match your irons or a shaft designed for driving irons/ hybrids.

Hi Julian – I have a 3 iron in mint condition, as I swapped it out early on for a 4 rescue.

It has the wrong shaft for you, so would remove it for shipping and could send it (from Australia) if you are still chasing one.

I love my 565’s bought nearly 6 years ago.

Hi Tom

Would you ever consider making single length irons using a forging techniques?

This would be really cool.

565MC are great golf clubs; I’ve played AP2 from the beginning through 718. I absolutely love these 565s. They’re more forgiving and still a forged head. Best of both worlds (+0.2 HC)

Hello Tom, I have purchased the 565 irons 2 years ago, I have been very happy with the clubs however the grooves seem to be wearing off and some iron faces have bad nicks and the top line on some clubs are banged up( I take good care of my clubs) is this due to soft metal?

Tom,

Could you comment on the difference (if any) between the sole grind of the 560mc and 565mc. I am a bit steep and can take some decent divots. I really liked the 560mc’s, found them quite forgiving…they were ok through the turf for me. Wondering if the 565’s might offer a little more relief on the leading edge? It’s hard to tell from the pics.

Thanks – Chad

Hi Tom and others, I’m currently playing minimalist golf and plan to have Bob make me three irons to go with a hybrid, driver and putter. I have some ideas on my ‘perfect’ set makeup, but would appreciate experienced input. I’ve been experimenting with clubs and since I fairly regularly use my 8 iron for punch shots I am thinking of AW, 8, 6, (775) 3H to join a driver and putter. I play my driver up and down the shaft to be able to (roughly) drive to a distance/ green and plan to use the hybrid the same way.… Read more »

Thanks Tom.
I’ll take you comments on board. I have been tossing up between a #2 and #3 hybrid for some time, currently playing #1 and #2 hybrids rather than woods.

Hi Tom I have recently been fitted for the 565 irons. I am a 17 year old and I’m also 6’6’’ my average 5 iron swing speed in 90-95 mph. I was using mizuno jpx ez cast iron before with regular length shafts which I can keep up and play with anyone I want but I made the decision to invest in your irons fitted by Rick McKinney. With my current bag I am a 12-14 handicap being new to the game (I started playing serious 2 months ago when I started working at craigowan golf club). I got a… Read more »

Tom, I had my 1st set of Wishon clubs fitted for me almost 2 years ago using the 755pc irons. I had a golf index of 22 at the time. With lots of time on the range and course I am now down to a 14. I was wondering if my golf game would see more improvement if I went to the 565MC forged irons. Sometimes I feel like I struggle coming out of the rough more than I should be with the 755pc. But since I am new to the game I wanted to bring the question to you.… Read more »

Hi Tom, My bags consists of all Wishon products and I would guess they are at least 10 years old. Driver 919 THI, 4 wood 949mc, 550 MB/CB 4-pw, pfc tour wedges and Smooth Series 6 putter. MY HCP is 8.6 and I feel like I still give away a lot of strokes around the green and by not being consistent with my 4 wood or 4 iron on long par 4 or par 5S. What are your thoughts on how much technology has changed/improved clubs over the past 10 years? Should I consider upgrading some or all my clubs?… Read more »

Thanks Tom! That was very helpful. I will be looking for a new Wishon fitter soon!

last question, I forgot to mention I have a 3 and 5 wood (Wishon 515 fairway) as I adjust my bag for gaps I was thinking I might add one or both back. Can you share your comments on those and if you think I would benefit on upgrading or if I should just keep playing them and pick up a couple of utility clubs to replace my 4\5 irons.

Hi Tom , Hope you are well and enjoying life.
I have been studying your books and videos for a while now , absolutely fascinating.
I am interested in getting all my clubs checked and then either altered or being fitted for a complete new set of Wishon clubs . some club fitters are saying no point in measuring MOI unless I have them BioMatched as well what is your opinion on the BioMatch system that puts weight in the butt end ….seems counter productive to me ?

Thank you Tom for your reply. much appreciated , I have been talking a lot with Richard Kemp on the telephone, he is on the South coast of England and I am in the North of England spoke for several hours on the phone , he made many references to your work on club fitting etc . He recommended I try and find the MOI on my own first by hitting clubs and using markers and adding weight etc till sweet spot every time…till I get a tighter dispersion of shots..I will let you know how I get on.

I have a set of Taylormade RSI1 which I got 5 years ago and since I have reduced my handicap from 28 to 17. Would have been lower but an addition to household can take up ones time.

Hi Tom, some more advise please. Would the playing characteristics of a White 610-IR-S with a tip trim of 1″ be similar to a TT Dynalite 105 gm steel shaft? And of a Blue 607-WD-S with a tip trim of 1″ with a Aldila NV Green 65? (Except for their respective weights, of course). Thanks and with best regards. Pavan

Hi Tom, I’m considering buying a set of irons and have a couple of questions – (1) what is the major difference between 565 and 575 irons and why would one choose one over the other (2) most wedges have little or no offset but your wedges have a 2mm offset..any advantages or reason (3) some forged irons are made of DT-4 steel…what would the difference be between clubs made of this material and say 1035 or 1025 carbon steel. Thanks. Pavan.
