Hi JP My son built 4 demo drivers this spring (identical shaft, grip, spec's) and he would be in total agreement that the 7* SMT Baltusrol LH has a big fade/slice tendency. In fact he can't hit a straight shot with it at all, and he has a 1 hcp. Anyone have a customer with a big draw/hook tendency who wants to hit a straight ball? After a bucket of balls this one is retired. The 4 clubs tested were; KZG RBT/325, KZG PFT/300, Integra L1, and SMT Baltusrol. The Bang SRV-2 has recently been getting good press for both distance & accuracy. Too bad they didn't make this LH. The SMT Baltusrol performed so poorly from an accuracy standpoint that it was the first driver he couldn't hit, although it sports the most impressive paint job we have seen, changing to 4 different colours with light deflection. Thanks HarryS

The Shinnecock has a high draw ball flight and the Baltisrol has a lower fade ball flight (both 10° heads) when compared head to head. I don't have and have not hit a Carnoustie or Mv2 so I can't tell you about those clubs. Good luck JP LaChance ccugolf.com Madison, WI
