Jen,
I'd pose your questions to Wishon's forum
http://www.wishongolf.com/twforum/default.asp
You'll get a quick and quality answer. My recollection is that the
position of the weight arm can have dramatic impact on the feel and
performance of the head. The overwhelming opinion is that this is a
great head.

Hi all,
I just bought one of Tom W's 715CLC intro specials... not as big as
some but 375cc is huge to me. My previous drivers are 230cc and 260cc
respectively.
My first attempt at it I built it 44" with the free ZT shaft (stiff)
and it's horrible. No feel. I can hit it a fair bit (not much more
than my other drivers though) but I have no idea when I hit it if it
was a good hit or not -- little shaft feedback. I attempted to FLO it
but don't think I did it properly so pulled it and am going to redo it
more carefully. I bought a clearance shaft from Golfquip's closing
sale (MFC Blue Crush) and may try that in it instead anyway at a
longer length. I like the head, it has promise for sure if I can find
the right shaft for it. Funny, I love the ZT shafts in my irons and
the specs on the wood shafts were very consistent with the specs on
the other wood shafts I like. A lot of possibilities here for why I
didn't like it - not FLO'd right, could be too stiff, could be too
heavy S/W... we'll see. Will try things one at a time and see what
sticks!
General question is - for anyone who has switched from "small" head to
big head, any tips to get used to it or differences in how you built
your driver? I went with 44" because I know that is a length that I
know I can keep accurate with my previous drivers. But, at that
length the club seems way too short because the head is so big (to
me). I feel like it's about 30" long!! Does it just take you a bit
extra time to get used to the big head??
Just curious, everyone's opinions will vary...
Jen
