Wishon 785 Hybrids

[neonlew]

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.

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.
