    Indeed it was. I had a nice , long love affair with my 455/ Blue Velvet combo....

    I've gone back a few times and while I still like the head IMO, today's heads are definitely more forgiving and longer. Specifically, the G30, G, G25 by Ping are perhaps the best heads I have ever hit , Cobra as well.

    The wine red head and satin, smooth face was sure purdy though

      The SMT db455 and the Geek DCT are the only two non-OEM heads I keep. I can't get the same distance with the shafts I used in the past, so one of these days I will reshaft them with a shaft suit my current condition.

      PITA to pull shaft from these deep bored heads. Patience and eventually toast paint around the neck if heat it up too many times. DCT is better with the two since it has an area with no paint around the neck.

        Yes DCT, is/was almost an equal to the 455, just not quite as pretty.

          Dct might be next on my list.....maybe a integra solong 450...but that blue, ugh🙂 def miss the db455....one sweet head.

          Got an Indio from Diamond Tour a couple of months ago. Very impressed with it so far. Distance and control are as good as any driver I've tried and it is nice and quiet at impact - more so than any driver I've had since I started golfing (when drivers were transitioning from persimmon to steel).

            Par4QC Better grab another....only $9.99!!!

            Where did you see that ?
            DTG only has 455V2 listed and it's $99.9

            K,
            Additional search come up, it did not when I select the SMT driver head from the main menu.

                You have to look under their 'golf sale' heading...... or if you just type in "SMT" in their search bar, they come up.

                I grabbed a couple low lofts, and 1 high(for when I become old and weak-er). They launch higher than designated lofts, btw. I'm using a 7.5 now and it is just great.

                    It do look yummy!! Woulda already been gone at my house.

                    How long ago did you order the heads ?
                    I'm having trouble clearing the shopping cart and could not check out with some old items in it.

                        Recently got a DTG El Matador with a FGS shaft but it's reg flex and I need a stiff. Nice club, though.

                        I'm down with the 455 being my go-to driver when the shit would hit the fan. Used the club for years and there's not a Mark on it...amazing.

                        Paired up with the vs339 it was pretty and a performer. Just put another vs339 in a Ping adapter to try in my G30 lst.

                        I have a DCT still in plastic, that 455 and an Alpha C830.2.... The 3 best component heads ever made IMHO.

                          Release

                          Ordered Thurs. evening.

                          I checked out with 'standard shipping'..............HUGE mistake, for someone that lives in the same state(110 mi. away)! They used Priority Mail, not FedEx. With FedEx, I would have had them built. With Priority, they've gone to Chicago. Gone to Cedar Rapids, IA.. Gone to Des Moines. Went back to Des Moines. They are now here locally, but delivery is showing for Mon.! They've made well over a 500 mi. trip so far. Just as well they see the countryside as they are going to be set aside for a few months anyway. Got 2 damn nice drivers to use now, when I can get out/if I can get out.

                          Quit loading up the cart with so many toys. Then you won't have to clear it!
