Wishon 719/919 Drivers

[TKS]

Just hit the conforming list.

Color pic of the 719.  Will have a carbon crown, adjustable hosel and raw head weight around 180g with no weights so a lot of versatility for fitting.

719  looks  great

 

will keep posted for availability and have one sent to my Uk address for my next home visit!

Looks very nice. Actually looks quite small in profile.

No 919 lefty version? 😞 Shoot, I really wanted a bonded 2020s era driver that’s bendable.

The updated 919THI is also going to be available in the new year as I recall.

[Chip Duffer]

I am definitely going to build one of these when they are available. I’ll also be building one for a friend who keeps having me build new Wishon clubs for him every couple of months. He’s seen the pics and is waiting for the release. 

[TKS]

Seven different weights have been created to fit into any of the four weight cavities on the sole of the 719MW driver.  The 2g, 4g, 6g, 8g and 10g weights can be used in any of the sole weight cavities for final swing weighting or final MOI assembly of the driver.  
 

The 20g and 30g weights are offered to change the COG of the head and promote different shot shapes - draw bias (heel-side weight position), fade bias (toe-side weight position), lower flight (front-center weight position), and higher flight (rear-center weight position). 
 

20g weight will change shot shape ONLY for golfers with a higher level of center face impact consistency, and with a clubhead speed over 100mph. The 30g weight will help to change shot shape for golfers with a less consistent center impact tendency, and any golfer with a clubhead speed under 100mph.  
 

With the driver SOLED in the address position, the hosel sleeve will allow a change in face angle from 2° closed to 3° open or lie position from 57° to 61°.   
 

By holding the club with the face square to the target in the address position, the hosel sleeve will allow a change in loft of the 719MW-9° model from 7.5° to 11°; For the 719MW-11° model, by holding the club with the face square to the target in the address position, the hosel sleeve will allow a change in loft from 9.5° to 13°.  A printed sheet explaining each hosel setting and result will be included with each 719MW driver head. 
 

Use of two 10g weights, one in the toe and one in the heel side weight cavities, will increase the MOI by approximately 500g-cm2 to further enhance off-center hit performance.

I wish every players driver had quad weighting. Head looks very good

Real sharp from the top, reminds me of Tour Edge, and that’s not a bad thing

Just got an email from Diamond Golf that the new Wishon 719MW driver is finally available. But I had a bit of sticker shock when I pulled it up on the website - over $200 for the head, and that doesn't include the required 4 weights which range from $3-$10/ea and it needs 4 weights totaling about 30g (raw weight is 169g). Is it just me or is that an insane price for a component head?! 😲💰

There is a lefty, but only in the 11° I'm afraid......

Which you can have hand-picked to +/-1° of that spec, and then also have bent another +/-4°, which gives it potential a range of 6° to 16°. I think that should cover just about any golfer on the planet.

L-R:

Previous gen 919THI, 519SHPR, New 919THI, 719MW 

Initial use of the 719MW is really good. I'll try to find time to do some course testing over the next few days

[AZGolfNut2]

I'll be looking forward to your feedback on the 719 vs 919, since the 919 has been one of my go-to gamers for the past 7 years! 

[TKS]

Yeah, this thing is a low spin speed machine. I played a league today, had it set at neutral. I'll get back out there with a click or two of added loft. Good fidget factor with the system.

its not a component head!

How is it not a component head? It's certainly not a fully assembled club. 🤔

That's good news! I tend to have a high spin rate with my driver due to my AoA, so I need to stick to primarily low-spinning heads. That's one reason why I've always preferred deep-faced drivers which have a higher COG. And my 919 gamer has 20g of lead tape on the sole right below the edge of the face to move the COG forward to lower the spin, and it works beautifully.

Is it low spin due to having more weight forward or just low spinning in general? Curious on your weight setup.

[TKS]

Low spin in general very penetrating flight. Very neutral weights to start with: 8x8x8x8.

I'll begin serious tinkering tommorow and try to post observations. This is going to be a fun head to fit.

Really, you are posting the price? Complaining that the driver with the most movable weight on the market by a pioneer in design and fitting tech is a component? All clubs are a sum of their components.

I went with 2x4x6x20 to give me some moving around options to play with. It should be here tomorrow.

Directed at  custom club guys

 

Acer etc are components  to me anyway

I should have mentioned that I had a bunch of heads sent, folks have been waiting for them to become available. So, I have a bunch of the various weights to monkey with.

I have moved to the high launch model of the new version for my first look at it. It's simply a tough head to beat - can't be done when it gets fit properly

I didn't post the price, just said it's "over $200" - which anyone would be able to reasonably deduce when they start seeing assembled driver prices which I imagine will be in the $500-$600 range depending on the shaft. And I wasn't complaining that it is a "component", everything from Wishon is a component since they don't sell assembled clubs. I was just shocked that the price is so much more than the 919. But, after reading some comments from Tom about how difficult it was to design and find a factory that could produce it, I get it. I even ordered one for myself, after the initial sticker shock wore off.

A component is anything other than a fully assembled club. Individual non-assembled heads, shafts and grips are all "components" no matter what brand they are.
