Following the heritage of the 929HS, Wishon Golf’s newest high performance fairway wood design with thin, high strength steel, high COR face is the 927HS: designed with a slight pear-shape, the 32mm face height is “in-between” a semi-shallow and traditional face height to offer a low CG performance for ease in achieving a higher flight for maximum carry. 

Twin weight bores on the sole combine with the mainstay hosel weight bore to allow the addition of up to 27 grams of weight to the head to offer clubmakers the chance to custom build the 927HS woods to shorter lengths for more consistency and control. 

  • 30mm #3 wood face height helps lower the CG on the lowest loft wood for easier shot height, transitions to 31.5mm face height on the #4, 5 and 7 to slightly raise the CG when loft increases.  Lower CG help where it is needed with lower loft, normal CG position as loft increases in the 927HS design.
  • Twin sole weight bores are located on the toe, and center rear, to combine with the hosel weight bore to allow weight addition in a symmetrical manner about the CG.
  • C455 high strength steel thin face allows for a higher COR for increased ball speed.
  • Cast 431 stainless steel body includes a specially annealed hosel to allow bending the lie and/or face angle up to as much as 3°.
  • 927HS is available in RH in striking Black PVD finish in #3, 4, 5 and 7.

Hello. What are the main differences between this and the 949mc? Thanks.

MIKE The 927 is more of a pear shaped fwy wood, with its face to back dimension smaller than that of the 949, which we describe as more of a full round fwy wood shape. Overall you would see the 927 as a smaller size head than the 949. Also, the face height on the 927 is slightly shorter than that of the 949. Both models do have a thin high strength steel face for achieving a high COR and better ball speed than possible with a normal all standard stainless steel head. The 927 is also slightly bendable for… Read more »

Thanks Tom, you are simply the best.
Right now in the bag I’ve got your 919thi driver, 949mc 4 wood, and 775hs 2,3,4 and 5 hybrids.
My clubmaker, Jacques Lavack happened to have a 775hs 6 hybrid in the shop so I told him to build it up for me. I know you don’t make 6 hybrids anymore so I wanted to grab it for myself, you know, just in case. 🙂

My driver is maybe 10 years old now. Beyond the easier adjustability of the new driver model would I see any further advantage, everything else being equal?

MIKE Thank you so very much for your kind words and for your support! We appreciate that, and I appreciate that personally, so very much! In all honesty, beyond the bendable hosel to customize lie and face angle, I really don’t think you would see much difference in performance between the 919 you have and the new version we completed this past year. (Now what other company is going to be that transparent to tell you that??!!) Years ago I remember making the statement that I felt that if I ever did do a new driver design, performance wise I… Read more »

Hi Tom. I have a spare pulled MC Tensei White CK Series 60 gram stiff shaft. It measures 42.5″ to the end of the adaptor (The adaptor will need removing so it may end up a fraction shorter) I am hoping to have a 927HS 17° built with it to replace the 929HS 16.5° which I used to have (That was a fantastic club!) I am curious though; could the shaft instead be built into a 919THI (13° or 15°) as a mini driver? If so, which would be a better option? I am looking for a single fairway wood/driver… Read more »

Matthew There are NO stupid questions!!!! As my father taught me MANY years ago, the only stupid questions are the ones that the person is too scared or too intimidated to ask in the first place!! You did not say how much was tipped off this Tensei shaft but with a cut length around 42.5″, it would be a reasonable guess to assume it came from a 3 wood. Or rather that would be my guess. In which case the shaft most likely may have had 1 inch tipped before installation into the previous wood. With you having an 89mph… Read more »

I’ve found a 919 Fairway wood, a 5 wood 18 degrees, in my recently passed Father’s garage.
Looks great, very low profile.

I can’t find any info on this FW model – nothing in Legacy.

Any info on this club as it looks very usable!

Reply to  Garry

Garry The 919 fwy woods were an attempt in the design to combine a more shallow face height with a very broad head shape from front to back so both elements of the center of gravity, low and rear located, could work together to make it a little easier to get the ball up to fly and carry. They ended up being one of the few head models that did not last more than two years in the product line, I think mainly because the extended shape of the heads from front to back, was a little bit too different… Read more »

Thanks Tom.
I’m still using a 929 Fairway wood.

The 919 looks great – if I reshafted it with my preferred S2S White reg (my dear Dad had green senior I think) how would it compare with the 929? Just a pity to have such a fine club sitting around getting cobwebs!

How many cc’s for 3 and 4 wood heads?

Admin
7 months ago
Reply to  ap

AP I hardly ever use CC volume to describe the size of fairway woods or hybrid heads. CC volume is the product of the combination of face to back breadth, toe to outer heel length, and face height. You can come up with the same cc volume number with a very wide variety of these three dimensions such that you could put two woods down on the ground that have the same cc volume but you would swear they are very different in size. The 927 woods are a little more compact than many fwy wood models of today but… Read more »

Hey Tom what would you say would be the best options for creating a draw bias fairway wood? Load up weight in the heel, face angle change, shaft change, etc?

Admin

Reply to  Kourtney

Kourt Hey, how have you been? Haven’t “seen” you around for a while! If the goal of a draw bias head is to reduce an actual slice, hands down the best way to reduce a slice is with a more closed face angle. Face angle is a degree for degree change in the position of the face at impact that causes the curving slice shot. Adding a substantial weight in the heel cannot do that as assuredly as a face angle change because draw bias weighting requires the golfer to hit the ball dead center every time to get the… Read more »

Reply to  Kourt

Kourt The only way one can achieve any form of draw bias without making the face angle closed is by a LARGE amount of weight as far on the heel side of the head as possible. There are no other magic ways or secret ways that only a famous club company would know about to do that because the science of influencing horizontal shot shape is pretty finite. And getting a lot of the head’s mass into the heel side can be done in many ways other than a visible weight piece. A much thicker sole in the heel side… Read more »

Thank you!

Hosel bore depth means very little without the hosel length so the hosel length of the 927 woods is 60mm and the bore depth is 30mm for a bottom of bore to GROUND measurement of 1.5″ (38mm). Hope this helps,

Hi Tom, I’m 29 years old french golfer. First and foremost, thank you for making all these innovative products available to us. I’ve been using a 4-wood EQ1NX (17 degrees) for about a year now. It’s set at 41 inches with a UST Mamiya Pro Force V2 85g X Stiff shaft. I’m satisfied with the club’s performance, especially the risk-to-distance ratio it provides. The only drawback is that the head design generates a lot of spin, which can make the club less effective for tee shots when there’s a bit of headwind (however the high launch and spin design can… Read more »

Reply to  Clement B

Clement B Thanks very much for your very good question. I’m very happy to try to help you with some more information. The biggest difference in the CG position between the EQ1 and 927 fwy wood designs is in the distance the CG is back from the face. The face to back dimension of the EQ is 78mm while the same dimension on the 927 3w is 71mm. That most certainly will put the CG closer to the shaft centerline and to the face than for the EQ head. As to the vertical CG, you may be surprised that the… Read more »

Tom, Thanks very much for your detail response. While carefully browsing through your website, I noticed that there is also a third model of fairway wood, the 370CLA. The dimensions and mass of this model are very close to the 927HS. Furthermore, the port system for adding additional weights is present once again. Hence, my question is, what are the factors that led to creating two such similar designs? Or did I miss something? Now I have a doubt about which model to choose.

Reply to  Clement B

Clement Before all of these new models were developed, our fairway wood lineup was the 929HS with its high COR face, and the 365PF which was the more economical model with a normal cast stainless face. WHen I was designing the 927 woods, they were intended to be the high COR face follow up to the 929. Which meant the 370 woods were the all cast stainless model to follow on the 365 for a little more economical model for those who wanted that. But because I am so convinced that shorter length woods are so much better for many… Read more »

Can the red paint inlay on the top/back of the head be removed? Just a visual preference thing and I am not sure the level of customization with your clubs. I have just come across your site and appreciate your philosophy toward club fitting. Thanks.

Very sorry but we cannot alter the cosmetic finish scheme on any of our driver, wood or hybrid head designs. All of the cosmetic finishing is done at the foundries that do the full manufacture of our head designs and it is just not feasible to ask them to alter this production work for a custom finish here or there. The other companies that may do this are FAR larger and as such can have their own individual finishing operation to accommodate that service. We can’t.

I am sorry but we cannot alter the cosmetic finishing scheme of any of our driver, wood or hybrid heads that are painted. All that work is done as part of the full production process at our partner factories as part of each order for each model. It just is not feasible within the production environment at the factories to alter this or that on a production run. I am sorry.

Hey Tom, So I was going to get Paul Larson to build me a #4wood and #7wood in the EQ1-NX or the older 929HS fairways. He winters down south so while he was gone, you’ve since introduced the new 927HS fairways and I instantly changed my mind. Not only do I like them more aesthetically, but the concept of the 3 weight bores should mean that Paul can dial it in even more precisely for my swing (typically a bit of a slice). Would you say these are your most advanced fairway woods so far? Also, I know you’re probably… Read more »

Claire Thanks very much for your post and for your support of what we do. Much appreciated, for sure. The 929s are discontinued, mainly because after so many years in the line, the tooling dies just plain wore out. It’s never worth investing in new tooling for an old model that has been around as long as the 929s, so it gave me the opportunity to design a follow on model to the 929s. I’m not sure I call the 927s the most advanced wood model I have designed as much as I would say over the past several years… Read more »

Tom, I always appreciate your honest feedback to the questions posed on this site. You recently mentioned that the new look of the 919THI driver was just that – a purely cosmetic upgrade. I was curious if the same statement applies to the 927HS fairways. I currently have a 365PF 7 wood in my bag (which I love!), and was curious whether it would be worth switching. Thanks!

Brian The 919 retains the same shape, same cup face, same variable thickness face, almost the same bendable hosel so the driver is really the same as before but with a new cosmetic look. The 927 is a totally new design, new head shape, new high COR face material, new everything. Compared to the 365, the 365 is not a high COR face model so the distance would be ever so slightly more with the 927. But probably not enough to go WOW. Enough to go, “hmm, how about that?” There is a difference in shape with the 927 being… Read more »

Tom since the specs from the single length and the 927 are very similar, I can build a 4-7 woods of the 927at 40″ using the 27 gram available weights S2S white regular shaft ?. I also have 25 gram midsized grips to help if needed.

Reply to  Scott Benson

Scott Based on the 4w starting at 213g and using the White shaft + a 50g grip, filling all three weight bores with 9g weights, the swingweight would be around C9 at 40″ length. For the 5w and 7w at 40″ you could get into the low D range of swingweight with all three weight bores filled with 9g weights. So if C9 with the White shaft is too light in the 4w, you could always use a tip weight on top of the three weight bore weights to get up into the D range. That or increase the length… Read more »
