Zach:
I had purchased a 9.5 dg. SMT Mv2 head and liked it quite a
bit, I had no particular difficulty hitting this compared to
my other drivers. That is to say when my swing was
behaving I got good results in direction and distance. I
had the head on a Harrsion Pro 2.5 Ti shaft. I say had
since I sold it to a younger guy I work with who I would say
is in the 9-10 handicap range. Niether of us are long drive
guys, but we hit the ball far enough.
Since he is a better golfer than myself I will repeat his
comments to me. He found the head the quite forgiving on
mishits, still getting good distance and accurancy on
mishits. The other comment was that he was able to pretty
much work the ball however he wanted.
I will be building another one soon.
Hope that helps somehow,
Nick

Hi All,
I have recently purchased a SMT MV2, anyone have
any trouble hitting the club head. I am joining the
LDA and am in the process of building a long driver.
I know it is the largest but that doesn't always mean
it is easier to hit. Has anyone played with the
Carnoustie, is it as hard to hit as I have heard it
is?
