Thomas Golf recently introduced the Thomas SightLine woods and people are taking notice. Consistent results are the reward.

The prime reason is that Thomas Golf recognizes and responds to the principle ailment of the average golfer, alignment. Research in visual perception shows that traditional Woods with curved tops are hard to align to the target, but the level TOP-PLANE and ALIGNMENT INDICATOR of the Thomas Golf Woods, make for easy alignment of the club to the target line. The golfer's feet, hips, and shoulders can then be easily set up parallel to the indicator and target line. Professional instructors around the world emphasize these factors as the essential elements to achieving a successful swing and ball flight.

Golf Club Review and Golf Equipment Journal recently tested the Thomas SightLine and the overall comments were very positive. Testers witnessed consistently good results and alignment features were outstanding. Trajectory of the SightLine 4-wood for example, was more consistent to that of a 3-wood and the balls launched hot and low with a flat, penetrating trajectory.

Distances were very good as well. Aided by a 43" shaft with a swingweight of D6 delivered by their standard Aldila TGw 60 graphite shaft, the results were consistent and satisfying to golfers of all levels.

Overall ratings in five categories were either average or above average (3 being average).

  • Accuracy was 5/5
  • Distance was 3/5
  • Trajectory was 4/5
  • Feel was 3/5
  • Forgiveness was 4/5
