Summary:
I have for ALWAYS struggled with a hook and been after the holy grail of drivers.
This may not be the the holy grail but I hit nice draws and not the destructive hooks and beacause the centre of gravity is not low and deep I do not hit the current fad for high driver flights but what I would call the perfect trajectory with run.
I also wanted a driver that wasn't like a plate on a stick ( this is 402CC )and a driver that I could feel the head at the top of the swing.I bought it from ebay for £57.00 in nearly new condition and with an SK Fiber pure energy shaft which is not an expensive shaft but as good and responsive as any I have played.
The more expensive shafts sometimes are no better than this, and I have hit most of them.
I am om the lookout for another SMT 02 as a back up as I am extremely impressed by this solid clubhead.

Summary:
Have your club maker put this together for you. Skip paying for fancy commercials staring athletes who make gobs of money. You'll thank yourself.

I'm 5'10" 190lbs. moderate to fast swing speed (95-100mph). Average 290 off the tee and straight as can be.

Summary:
This is a nice lump of Titanium. I play it with a Grafalloy Blue Stiff shaft.
It's a nice traditional shaped head which sets up very nicely behind the ball. The 400cc size is plenty enough and avoids that 'swinging a football' feeling some 450cc+ heads give.

I could crap on about how you can work it left or right, high or low. But we all know it's the mug on the end of the club that does that and not the stick itself, right?
It provides a lovely solid feel and a pleasing crisp sound - unlike my last driver which sounded like an AK47 going off in a tin can.
The only dislike I have which is endemic in golf is the 1 degree closed clubface. It disappoints me that manufacturers cater to the lowest common denominator - i.e the perennial slicer. I have to adjust the clubhead at address, no big drama but annoying.
Oh, the smokey finish on the top of the head is distintive and well funky, as is the lack of grooves. So many people ask "why the grooveless face?" Why?! 'Who needs backspin on a driver! Do Motorcycle racers use treaded tyres? Of course not!
Unless you swing it the same over and over again, forget weight adjustments screws - they're a gimick.
The O2 is nice price too. May all the worlds Gods bless China and it's cheap quality manufacturing.

Mint. Life time warranty - cool. My last driver cracked along the sole / clubface line. So these thin walled things do pack a sad occasionally.
