5 stars (Everyone should read this book) - Mr. Wishon knows more about club design and function than just about anyone in the world, and it shows in this book. But what could be an arid, dense subject is treated here with humor, clarity and above all, independence. There are no hidden agendas here. His ONLY objective is for the reader to learn how he or she can obtain the maximum benefit of having the right type of clubs that are made to fit adequately, considering size, ability, swing speed, type of swing, etc.

We who love the game of golf, are always on the lookout for something that will help us play just a little better than before. Reading this book, and applying its wisdom, can do that.



It necessarily has charts and some technical stuff, but I assure you, a book with this subject matter cannot be written more clearly than this one.

If you're even remotely interested in this subject matter, do yourself a favor with this book!
4 stars (As valuable as any golf instructions you will ever have) - This book covers club specifications and club fitting without being too technical. The books real value however is in the information on the type of equipment you should be using. If you are thinking of purchasing new clubs or are wondering why you're not golfing very consistently with the set you have, it is well worth the money to purchase this book.



Tom Wishon is one of the first big name club fitter/makers. He was instrumental in developing the tests used to certify club fitters, so the information he lays out in the book is priceless.



The information is easily understood and applies to the rank ameteur as well as the low handicapper. He also gives a couple of websites for addresses of certified clubfittersthroughout the US.
5 stars (The Best Layman's Equipment Book - ever) - I'll keep it short. This book is full of the most common sense approaches to thinking that I've ever seen associated with golf equipment.



It not only corrects misconceptions for the everyday golfer (read: not as good as s/he wants to believe) with sound advice about more loft, shorted shafts, etc., but also delves into worlds not considered by most: fitting handicapped golfers, fitting women properly, and fitting seniors and super seniors.



A must read, and it is very readable. Chapters can be skipped around or ignored entirely, depending on your needs. Anyone needing a quick way to get educated on the ins and outs of equipment should be all over this book.
