Been testing again, this time it was SMT Nemesis and Shinnecock.
The Nemesis has the distinction of having no scoring lines on the face. This is definately a long drive club. The model I tested had a Assasin II shaft and 7* of loft. Smooth, good looks but took a little to get used to. I would say this is the hottest driver I've used in a while. This club is a not for a beginner. The extra 10-20 yards to me wasn't worth the inconsistant flight and handling. This one is for the long drive comps. A lot of roll after it lands.
The Shinnecock was a better match for a regular course. Also 7* and Assasin II shaft. Hot face but not as much roll due to the scoring lines. Great look. Can't say enough about this one, large sweet spot, sound was not a thunk like a bang club and not a tink of a
Callaway somewhere in between. 280 was nothing for this club. Stepped on one and knocked it 310 with a little reserve. This is a players club.
If I had to pick between the two, I'd take the Shinnecock. I thought it might replace my
Callaway Biggest Big Bertha 9*. Haven't decided yet.
