The Search for the Perfect Golf Club

[MaxPower]

I have seen a lot of posts on here asking about what types of golf clubs one should buy or what clubs you should have in your bag. It is interesting to hear peoples opinions, but I think ultimately this is personal decision and the opinions of people on a message board are not too relevant.

If you are interested in learning about golf clubs, the physics behind how they work, how to see through the marketing the club manufacturers use, and how to make smart decisions about buying clubs, I would recommend this book


The Search for The Perfect Golf Club by Tom Wishon and Tom Grundner

The author is a golf club designer who has his own equipment company and is responsible for many advances in golf club design. If you are really serious about buying clubs that are right for you, then this book will give you the information you need to make buying decisions.

This may be too much information for you if you are just a casual golfer, but if you are a serious golf geek, then you will enjoy this.

There is also a new book by the same authors, that I haven't read yet:

The Search for The Perfect Driver by Tom Wishon and Tom Grundner

The perfect golf club is an Orlimar Trimetal+, 18 degree with a stiff EI-70 shaft that's been shortned 1/2 inch with a lamkin crossline grip. They're so cheap, everybody should go out and buy one.

At least that's what I've come to believe.

I've recommended "The Search" book several times in the past, but it deserves to be repeated now that we have a golf forum. It's a great book.

Tom Wishon Golf Technology also has a forum on their site. Tom posts there very frequently.

I hit a Trimetal once and hated it. It's too shallow. I've hit the EI-70 in 3 different fairway woods and hated it each time.

I was never really a fan. If this thread were about the perfect infomercial though, right on.

Is that the one where Roger Maltby says something like, "People ask what's so great about this club. And I say, it's the best club you're ever gonna hit. That's what." ???
