SMT

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. ☺

      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!

        ode he has one mishig after another

        Because the damn irons are not forgiving. WTH...how can you not know that?

        😆

        sdandrea1 if you go to WRX, he is seen as credible in the TS2 thread having reviewed the KE4 Max, TS1-IM, and many others with the aforementioned KSig (🤮); also Takomo, the ones from Giga Golf.....most of these are a comparison of the hollow body irons.....and the resulting suggestion that the SMT and KSig are the same/similar. This review would suggest that they are not as the top line, offset, and sole width appear different. Someone from WRX is sending him the Golfworks stuff to review.

        I watch a lot of his videos (being he’s local). ‘Terrible swing’ is subjective. How it looks on video means nothing. He can play. Usually plays a draw. Like many good golfers he has his own swing that he can repeat.

        Many of his videos are filmed at the Carrollwood course. He’ll play each hole and video all his shots. I like his club review videos. I normally wouldn’t watch this particular video because that type iron isn’t for me.

        He gave the iron I play a good review. lol

          pellmell To me, he looks like he lines up way right, and then pulls everything. I guess it works for him though, so more power to him.

          We know that feel and sound are basically relates. So he starts off his first iron shot by saying they felt great, then gets back in the cart to say they sounded terrible at the range. I shut it after that, he’s an idiot.

            No wonder he play a draw....to me he's really coming from the inside.

            pellmell These guys don’t claim to be pros so you’ll get crappy swings from a lot of them. You can have a shitty swing and do You tube reviews.

              SMT I just did.

              If you would like, I'll send you $12.00, you send me those irons. Sound good??

                OTOH if you have to have a tour swing to talk about golf clubs, we might as well shut this place down.

                I want what I’m about to say, come off as a compliment to @SMT . 😊

                When I see this design, along with some others that I feel are probably foundry models, it makes me feel like Mike is not really involved. I think Mike's time is focused where it needs to be.
