I know its not a fitting cart, and that's the problem. Mike ripped the
whole concept of OEM interchangeable shafts, and the big box fitting
experience, and then he turns around and offers the "no fit experience".
At least with the OEM systems, you get to try before you buy.

It's not a fitting cart - not designed to be.
It's a simple bundling of heads and shafts that will appeal to a
segment of the market that will NOT get custom fit today or tomorrow.
This is a direct response to companies like Sonartec who are
selling these "bundles" for $499.

Anybody care to comment on how this is better than an
OEM fitting cart fit? Looks like you just fit yourself, since everyone
knows their own needs better than any old club fitter does.

What Is Going On?
You have probably heard or read the news...
The USGA has changed their position and is now allowing
the use of adjustable clubs for play in USGA sanctioned events.
The Buzz At The 2008 PGA Show
The talk in Orlando Florida clearly was all about this
new trend. But the big name OEM's are all pushing it solely from a
clubfitting angle, one where they expect you, the golfer to step up to a
fitting cart with dozens and dozens of head and shaft combinations in
hopes of finding something that "fits" your swing, for that particular
moment in time.
SMT Golf's Position
Is really quite different.
We believe that each of you know your game pretty well.
We believe that each of you know the courses that you play on a regular
basis quite intimately, and we also believe that if we were to ask you a
couple of very simple questions, that you could answer them without a
moment's hesitation.
Question #1 Do you want to hit the ball higher or lower
than you do now?
Question #2 Do you want to hit the ball longer or
straighter?
You see, we are very much of the opinion that there
really is no one single driver for each player all year long or even
round to round.
Conditions change at your favorite course. Month to
month, week to week and certainly even day to day. Windy conditions, dry
fairways, too much rain, humidity, overseeding, etc. all weigh heavily
on how you attack the course and your scores reflect the days
conditions, not necessarily your ability to hit the proper shots. Why go
at it each day with the same bag of clubs?
What about when you travel or play a different local
course? One where there are plenty of elevated tees, tighter fairways,
links style courses, wide open layouts, etc. ? It only makes sense that
you have a driver that you can use to tackle the course as opposed to
trying to adapt your game to your one piece of equipment. ( loft, flex,
length, weight )
With our FAZ-FIT connector system and one of these
packages, you have the ability to use a higher lofted, heavier or
shorter shafted driver for the tight courses and a lighter weight longer
shaft for the wide open fairways that you might be playing. Imagine a
softer flex for the cold weather when you are bundled up and a stronger
shaft for when you are in your summertime groove. Pop on a lower lofted
"summertime loft" when the fairways are dry and enjoy the fun. You can
surely see that the one driver that you have in the bag is clearly not
enough for all of the situations that you face. Imagine how your game
will change immediately by working with the course and the conditions as
opposed to working against them.
We are huge fans of having equipment that will fit your
game, and by now, you can see that it certainly takes more than one
driver to "fit" the conditions that you are faced with. As you can see
from the SMT Playability Chart below, it is quite simple to find the
head and shaft combination that is just right for your particular needs
based on your own desires and the features of courses you tend to play
most often. If you need help, we are always here to discuss this with
you, and look forward to helping you to choose what is best for you.
Just give us a call. Your handicap card will show that you did.
Each SMT head and SMT shaft chosen will come
professionally assembled with our new FAZ-FIT club connector system and
SMT grip, to a length and grip size of your desire. All you have to do
is open the box, attach a head to a shaft and hit some balls.
____________________
The FAZ-FIT connectors are also available individually
from SMT Golf and are the only product on the market that actually will
allow you to use a .350 shaft in a .335 head or a .335 shaft in a .350
head. Iron connectors will soon be available as well.
