Just got threeWishon's 785 HF hybrids -- #3, #4, and #5. I have three Mercury Performance Plus graphite wood shafts that I want to try in them.

What playing length would be ideal for each hybrid head -- should they be cut to the same length as a #3, #4, and #5 irons?

Also, when tip trimming, how much would I tip trim the #3, #4, and #5 hybrids?

Thanks for any input,

Lew

I hope someone will chime in here so I can ensure getting the proper length for each of these Wishon 785 hybrids.

Somebody out there must have assembled Wishon's 785 HF hybrids. Can you recommend a reasonably priced hybrid shaft to fit these hybrids and what playing length would you recommed for the #3, #4, and #5 hybrid heads?

Many thanks,

Lew

I'm not a clubfitter by any stretch, but you seem desperate for answers so I'll toss in my opinion anyway....

When I had my Wishons made I opted for the Matrix "Studio" shafts on my irons. My clubmaker recommended them as a reasonably priced product, and I'm glad I took his advice and went for them. For my "321" 24-degree hybrid he thought the MSF shaft was a little better option, and it was likewise not an expensive choice. So I can personally attest to both; neither have caused me any problems.

Having said that...

You should really go to a fitter to have these questions answered, particularly your concern about shaft length. My club fitter recommended the ones he did based on my swing shape, launch angle, body size, etc. I'll assume you're not a mirror image of me (7'9", 82 pounds), so you probably need different shaft lengths than me. Seriously, book a club fitting session. There is no "standard" length for these clubs. If you're going to the trouble of assembling custom clubs using quality components like those Wishons, do yourself the favor and make sure they fit you. It'll be 50 bucks well spent.

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

Agreed with what Sherpat said, but I know a lot people say that if you are replacing an iron with a hybrid then go with a shaft length equal to that of the iron you are replacing.

It seems that I heard that go with length of the iron you are replacing on another forum. That makes sense.

Thanks to all of you for your input.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
