Tom Wishon never sold clubs the way TaylorMade or Callaway did. His company designed heads and sold them through independent clubfitters, which means the 771 CSI was never something you grabbed off a rack at a big box store. You got fit for it, and it was built for you. That distribution model kept Wishon obscure to most golfers, but the people who knew, knew.
The 771 CSI arrived in 2014 as Wishon's answer to a question the big brands were solving with loft tricks: how do you make an iron that flies farther without turning a 7 iron into a 5 iron? His approach was a thin, high-strength steel face plate mated to a carbon steel body, pushing the face closer to driver-like spring effect than a normal one-piece casting could manage. More ball speed from the face itself, not from cranking lofts two clubs strong.
A decade on, this is a used-market and clubfitter find rather than a current model. If you come across a set, it will almost certainly have been custom built, so check the specs before assuming anything about length, lie, or shafts.
简而言之
The Wishon Golf 771 CSI (2014) is a players-distance iron that blends ball speed with a clean shape.

About the Wishon Golf 771 CSI
The head is a cavity back with a compact, fairly traditional profile. Wishon designed for golfers who wanted a players look at address, so you get a cleaner topline and less offset than the game improvement shovels of that era. The distance comes from the face construction. A thin high-COR face insert flexes at impact and gives back more energy to the ball, which was genuinely uncommon in irons in 2014 and is the whole reason the CSI exists. Because these were sold as component heads, the finished club depends heavily on who built it. Two sets of 771 CSIs can play completely differently based on shaft choice, swingweight, and length. That was the point. Wishon believed fitting mattered more than the head stamp, and this iron was a vehicle for that philosophy.
Who Should Play the Wishon Golf 771 CSI?
- ✓Mid to low handicap players who want extra ball speed without the chunky look of a distance iron.
- ✓Golfers who work with an independent clubfitter and want a set built to spec rather than off the rack.
- ✓Anyone hunting the used market for underrated irons, since Wishon heads often sell for less than their build quality suggests.
常见问题
What does CSI stand for in the Wishon 771 CSI?
It refers to the high-strength steel insert face construction. The thin face plate is the distance feature, flexing at impact to produce more ball speed than a conventional cast iron face.
Is the Wishon 771 CSI forgiving enough for a mid handicapper?
Reasonably, yes. It is a cavity back with perimeter weighting, so it is more forgiving than a blade. The head is compact though, so a golfer who struggles with contact would be better served by a wider-soled, larger iron.
Where can I still buy Wishon 771 CSI irons?
Your realistic options are the used market, eBay, and independent clubfitters who may still have old component stock. Tom Wishon's designs later moved under the Diamond Golf umbrella, so retail availability of this 2014 model is thin.
Do the 771 CSI irons have strong lofts?
No, and that was deliberate. Wishon was openly critical of brands adding distance by strengthening lofts. The 771 CSI gains its yardage from face flex, so the lofts stay close to traditional and the gapping through the set holds up.
How does the 771 CSI compare to a modern players distance iron?
It was ahead of its time in concept. The thin-face, high-COR construction it used in 2014 is now standard in irons like the TaylorMade P790 and Titleist T200. Modern versions add internal foam and tungsten weighting, so they are more refined, but the core idea is the same.
