New SMT Hollow Body Irons
YouTube review of the 579 irons. He did not like them. Sound, feel, distance, forgiveness, tolerances not as good as all the other budget irons he’s tested recently.
Don’t shoot me, I’m only the messenger. It’s surprising to see a YouTube review that isn’t gushing over the product being reviewed. Especially from this guy.

DonM 1 of the derogatory remarks he made had me thinking what an idiot...can't read/understand. But when I checked the SMT website, I see why he made the comment, and was correct in doing so. The comment was about the specs being off as much as 2. But, anyone using components already knows/should know, they are going to be off, normally with a +/- of 2-3, but almost always stated in the specs chart.
The fault lies in the specs chart on the website.....no +/-, so I'd 'kinda' be pissed if my heads came and were 2* off what is shown, and didn't already they are going to be off.
And I've made up my mind...I never want "Adam" building any clubs for me. Don't know shit from shinola.
He is an idiot though, if he thinks sets of clubs in stores are true to specs!! I've found some off even more than the +/- 2-3*.
I've looked at these heads a few times, just this week. At some point this season, I will get them. Just not right now, and the review does not change my mind.
hahahahaha...
At 7:17 - he says : I have 150 on the button here and that is a perfect 8 iron...
At 8:58, next hole he has 173 yards and goes 7 iron. - A 23 yard variance between his 8 iron and 7 iron shot.
So, makeshift par 3..
At 10:48 he says that he hit the ball too high
At 10;52 he hits a really bad chip and says... :good thing I have this putter to save the SMT irons. hahahahaha

He’s from my neck of the woods. His channel is called Let’s Play Thru. He shoots his videos at Carrollwood Country Club in Tampa I believe.
Played there once. Nice private club that you need to know someone to get you on.
He used to test clubs at the Edwin Watts on Dale Mabry in Tampa. But that’s closed now and he uses the newer PGA Store also on Dale Mabry.
hahaha at 16:36 he mentions that he is not thrilled with the stopping power.
at 16:38 he says... "That's probably why we missed a couple greens that he claims he hit the green... but it rolled off. Except, his own video shows that he was short on other attempts from the rough and fairway. Good to know that even though he has a Youtube page, he can still blame "stopping power" on missing 7 holes of greens.
Sneakylong But on Hole #7 that was closed, he mentioned that "the city...." I have never seen a city worked get involved at a private club.
I enjoyed watching him play and I appreciate the review.

I didn’t watch the video. I assume he’s still at Carrollwood in Tampa, which is private. The reason I think he’s still there is a recent video was shot at The PGA Store in Tampa.
Edit: Found this. His name is Gabriel Aluisy.
“Well I’m from Tampa via Baltimore and Washington DC. My home course is Carrollwood Country Club.
I’ve been playing since I was 3 years old, which makes me feel pretty bad that I’m not much better than I am. 
My handicap index just slipped up a bit, now it’s 5.1. I still have an elusive goal of getting to scratch someday, but I feel like I better do it soon or time may run out. In order for me to reach that goal I’m going to need to get my long irons dialed in and putt just a little better. I have my days with the flat stick, but I need more consistency.”
I watched most of the video. Pretty quickly I knew what his opinion was going to be. I take ALL of these videos with a grain of salt, but I like to hear what they think of the sound, turf interaction, etc. I don’t mind hearing if the come out a little lower or higher than they are used to and if an off center hit carries close to what was expected but I could care less what the tester shoots on a hole.
YouTubers are about creating content. I believe the majority of G'Buzzers don't put much belief in what YouTubers do or say. It's for entertainment's sake. 
Always YMMV! LOL
Sneakylong playing since I was 3 years old,
That's hard to believe, he has a terrible swing. I've tried watching his videos but can't get past the first 2 minutes.
The top click guys/gals on YouTube are called influencer's for a reason. We, G'Buzzers are an intelligent group and YouTubers surely don't influence our purchasing decisions. 
Has anyone sent him a message saying, simply....
"$12 shipped"?

I put no stock into what he says.....a.m. dew and the clown putts through 7 paces (I counted) of fwy. No, that's an easy up and down via a chip and then a putt. No dew it might be different......and he has one mishit after another I don't know how he could give an honest review!
