The Fitting Process
Bert's Babblin' on "Stuff"

Simply put, you shouldn't have to change your swing to fit your off-the-rack clubs.  You'll buy 'em, take 'em home, and HOPE they work for you - if they don't you'll constantly be changing your swing to try and make them work.  You may end up having to use 8 (or more) different swings to try and hit every club in your bag - how's that for consistency?  Properly fit and matched clubs (matched to your unique swing) will enable you to make the SAME swing with every club..... YOUR swing, time after time - consistent and repeatable.  Golf is a game of consistency, if your swing is consistent, and your clubs properly fit/consistently matched - you have established a very solid foundation.  Once you have your solid foundation, it is much easier to improve your skills and sense of feel with purposeful practice.

There are numerous variables (more than 20 of 'em) that a good clubfitter can address - all of these can/will influence how a set of golf clubs will work for you.  You just will NOT get this kind of attention when buying off-the-rack.  If you were un-aware that a difference really does exist between custom fit and off-the-rack clubs, I encourage you to take some time and read more of the information I have at this site - primarily the "Custom Clubs & FAQ's" page, the "Bert's Babblin' on Stuff" page, and for real-life user results read the "Testimonials" page.  The Babblin' page is kinda like my FLOG (yes I said FLOG --- GolF + Log = FLOG, everybody on the 'net has a blog, I have a FLOG.  Blog, schmog!!).  Hopefully I'll help you better understand how and why your clubs perform the way they do.

At Gooder Golf, I offer what I truly believe are the very best components in the golf industry - components that I would buy or use myself (and yes I do use what I sell).  These components will be fit to YOU and YOUR swing, and assembled with great pride, care, attention, and above all integrity.  The very best definition I have ever heard for the word integrity is "doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching".  Your clubs will be fit and made to the absolute best of my knowledge, skill and ability - you have my word on that!  Please have a look around the site and check out our products and services.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me - I can be reached by email at gooder@goodergolf.com.  Thanks for stopping by.

Who is Tom Wishon?

Tom Wishon Golf Technology is recognized as the highest quality designer of high performance original clubheads, shafts, grips and fitting technology products used by independent professional custom clubmakers around the world.

Having begun his career in clubmaking in 1972, Tom has worked exclusively since 1980 to develop a truly “high-end” segment within the custom clubmaking side of the golf equipment industry.  In 2001, tired of the emphasis on sales and profit, Tom left the corporate side of the golf equipment industry to move back to his home state of Colorado and build his own company.  Tom Wishon Golf Technology is committed only to developing the highest quality designs and increasing awareness among golfers of the true game improvement benefits of real custom fitting.

From the thousands of hours of research he has performed over the course of his career, Tom Wishon has established himself as the leading authority on clubmaking and clubfitting technology in the golf equipment industry.  He is the author of 7 books on different technical areas within clubmaking, and has written hundreds of equipment related articles for virtually every golf publication in the industry.  As Terry McSweeney, Director of Communications for the PGA of America states, “Tom has the unique ability to communicate technical issues about golf equipment so non-technically minded people can easily understand and follow the subject."

Tom Wishon is also an 11-year member of the Golf Digest magazine Technical Advisory Panel, and has been the Technical Advisor to the PGA of America’s web site, PGA.com since 2004.  He is considered the ‘go-to guy’ by the equipment editors for virtually all of the major consumer golf publications in their search for honest, marketing-free, technical explanations about the technical performance of golf clubs.

Tom is the only designer from the custom clubmaking segment of the golf industry whose clubhead designs have been used to win on the PGA Tour and in Ryder Cup competition.  He has designed and custom built the golf clubs used in competition by Scott Verplank, Bruce Lietzke, Ben Crenshaw, as well as the last set of clubs played by Payne Stewart before his tragic departure from the game in 1999.

As Tom stated in making his decision to establish his own company, “I completely respect the work that the large golf equipment companies pursue in their quality and R&D, but my 30 plus years in golf club research has proven that the best set of golf clubs any golfer will ever buy will be a set of true custom made clubs, fit and built by a professional clubmaker using the very best quality and performing clubhead, shaft and grip designs.”
