First of all the change in color of the head from grey to black is a positive move and with the combination of the new shaft color the effect is stunning I know not all costumers will have it combination but like they say in the world of fashion "Black will go with anything". This combination gives you a club that benefits from a positive Hit! Still forgiving with off centre strikes but very easy to hit out of the middle I think the head shape encourages you to do that. There is definitely a difference in the noise when the ball comes off the club face, but thank God it sounds nothing like the some of the loud hollow noises you get from some of the clubs around like the cobra f series. This is much more of a solid crack/smack. I've never been one to try to impress people by the sound my club makes it's much more satisfying when your playing partners are saying "Great strike" Took it out in competition for the first time on sat gross 78 net 69 the course is a par 71 so not bad for the first time in difficult conditions those being wind and rain. Do I like it? YES, problem is what do I do with my FS2?? Haha.
Lots of people have asked me about my Geek clubs and I've told them to get in contact or go on your website which they have done, it's just a shame that they can't try before they buy.
Anyway all the best Rick
DCT 9 degree UST V2 75
Dear Geoff,
I really wanted to say how great a driver the Geek DCT is !! I took my time to practice it on a few different golf courses and it has made a huge difference on my game. I have not gained much distance (15 yards maybe, which is still very valuable !) but I have never hit so straight : 85% of hit fairways on average ! The shaft (Pro V2 75 gr) is great also, seems very flexible but my trajectory is definitely lower than before, which was what I was looking for.
What else can I say ? Just a great driver, great price ...
Regards,
Arnaud in France.

Yeah I've already been down the range and the club is good as I expected,
I already have a 59 degree SMT so knew it would be.
Your servicing, pricing, communication is absolutely exceptional.
I will definitely use you again, as I'm thinking of getting a SMT SW.
Feel free to use this as a testimonial if you do such things.
Thanks a lot

Geek Golf Dot Com This 10.5 degrees
Hi Geoff,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for this driver head.
I tipped a Tour Spec Fuji Speeder 757 stiff shaft 1/2 inch, FLO'd it and then used a tip weight and some lead to get the driver to D2 at 44".
It went head to head with my J33r yesterday and it was no contest! I don't think I will be looking at other drivers for years.
I haven't been this excited about a new club in years!
Thanks again,
Alex

10.5 degree Geek DCT Aldila NV65 stiff
Geoff
The new 10.5 degree DCT arrived yesterday and I took it straight out on the course last night in the midweek medal with a mate. No chance to try it out. He's just bought an TM R7 in a 9.5 degree loft, so, of course, we had to have a long drive comp on every hole!
Suffice it to say I whipped him. He really nailed one, and we thought they might be close - but when we walked up, I was a good 25 yards past him. The DCT just rolls and rolls. I did lose one drive into the trees, but the provisional off the tee was the longest I've ever hit on that hole.
So you could say I'm very pleased with my new driver. Thanks also for the great
service and communication. Will definitely be back for a fairway soon.

Geek DCT 9 degree with Aldila NV65 stiff shaft
Geoff.
Only two words to say about the DCT.
The second is "AMAZING!" - the first you can guess, but I don't think that you'd want to print it in your testimonials. ;)
However, two clubs less into the green is the kind of result I want from a new driver. Thanks very much for coming out to Pennard for us - I used the DCT for the rest of the trip and was v. glad I did. This thing cuts through the wind like no driver I have ever used and for the price is unbelievably good value.
What are the fairway woods like?
Cheers again - I think I owe you another Guinness or two for this.

Happy is not the word I would use. Over the moon might just describe the huge distances I am hitting the Geek and very straight. I can also bend it right or left and high or low at will!!

Many thanks for the assistance and progress reporting. All arrived on time and has been a great success. Drives are longer and straighter with draw if required. This could be described as a wonder club. You should see the wonder on people's faces when its hit. Just let me know when the FS2 comes in, although it's hard to see how you're going to improve on this.
Many many thanks Andy
Geek Failsafe 10.5 degree UST Proforce XL regular shaft
Hi Geoff,
What a club, it has completely exceded my expectations! I had it at the range today and I didnt think I was a big hitter but out at 300 yards and straight, phenomenal is all I can say. Also service has been excellent, felt well informed and the club arrived at the time you said.
Thanks
Paul
Geek Failsafe 12 degree UST Proforce XL regular shaft
The Geek driver arrived on time yesterday morning. Great looking club, fantastic looking shaft. Immediately rushed up the sheep field (this is how golf started, right?). First drive long with a nice little draw. First ten the same. First fifty similar. About 20yards on average longer that the 9 degree Big Bertha and that's using reject Dunlop balls from the shag bag! Felt like I was 30 again (I'm 60).
Thanks for the advice on club, loft selection and the speedy service. Ten out of ten.
Last night the Geek slept by my bed. After all it was love at first sight. Big Bertha sleeps with the fish.
Gotta go and consult you web site on fairway woods!
Thanks and best wishes

FailSafe 9 degree with extra stiff Accuflex Assassin2 shaft
Hi Geoff,
Just thought I would drop you a line with some feedback on the 9 degree Failsafe with the Accuflex Assassin X flex shaft.
Firstly the regular updates regarding its progress over from the States and the quality of the assembly was first class - I wish all golf companies would take a leaf from your book !!
Having had plenty of opportunity now to give it a full evaluation, all I can say is 'Oh my God !!'
This club/shaft combination goes for miles (OK - well not exactly miles but I am averaging 300 - 330 yards), which is a full 20 - 25 yards further than my old Spectrum. The noise took a little getting used to as this thing is loud but who cares when the drives are going these kind of distances !! - and even strikes off the heel or toe are very forgiving keeping the ball straight without losing too much distance compared to ones from the sweet spot.
It brings a smile to my face when other players start asking which Taylor Made / Callaway / Titleist etc it is as Geek is not exactly a household name here in the UK but I will never use equipment from the so called 'major' brands just to line the pockets of the top 100 PGA tour pros especially when this thing out hits them all. Fantastic club and service - thank you very much for bringing the fun back to my game off the tee.
Let me know if they bring out wedges and putters next though as this part of my game is next on the list to be addressed. Keep up the good work and I hope Geek become a great success in the UK.
Regards,
Andy

Geek DotComThis driver
----------------------------------
If you can live with a club that bears the brand name 'Geek' you just have to give this driver a try. It looks and feels right and the 450cc beta-titanium head sits like a keg of dynamite waiting to explode.
Geek Golf (I still choke on those words!) has incorporated a proprietary weighting system that adds weight directly behind the ball and claims to impart extra momentum. They also say its 'integrated energy power slot on both sides of the head compliments the power bulge' at the back of the head.
Furthermore Geek (still swallowing hard!) says the face has been designed to reduce spin and that's why they recommend using a loft that is higher than you might be used to because the ball automatically has a lower launch angle.
Apparently an advantage of reduced ball flight spin is a tendency for it to roll further when it hits the ground. But you'll need to make sure that the loft you choose will give you sufficient height and carry through the air because if you don't get it right you will find it a struggle to achieve distance when the fairways are wet and soggy.
The makers also claim that golfers with slower swing speeds should try a driver with 14 degrees of loft.
For me, 10.5 degrees seems ideal and after spending years trying to identify the best shaft for my swing, I've hit the jackpot with the Grafalloy Prologic Tour 75 fitted to this club. Suit you, Sir!
This driver also allows me to hit a moderate trajectory with a draw with the ball exploding off the clubface. My drives are travelling an average of 10 yards further through the air and with a forgiving feel, too.
Bang-o-matic driver
----------------------------------
There's no such animal as the golfer who doesn't want to hit the ball further. We all long for that elusive extra distance and it's hardly surprising because, it seems, every time we tune in to a tournament we hear commentators droning on about how far today's Tour pros hit the ball.
On the PGA Tour, 15 players currently average more than 300 yards, with Bubba Watson leading the way at 319.3 yards. In Europe, South African Titch Moore leads the stats with an astonishing average of 313.1 yards.
As for the REALLY big hitters, they tend to inhabit the dark, weird and wonderful world of the ReMax Long Drivers circuit, where Scott Smith recently smashed all records with a hit of (wait for it . . . . ) 539 yards!
So what equipment do these guys use to achieve such prolific distances? It may surprise you to learn that the equipment that propels their golf balls into the next county is not supplied by the popular brands and furthermore you can put a similar weapon in your bag for less than �130
When the likes of TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist or Cleveland introduce a new model - research and development, advertising, marketing and endorsement contracts for the top players cost a small fortune, much of which is inevitably passed on to the customer.
The quality of their products is without question, but someone has to pay for it and if �350 is the recommended retail price (RRP) rate for the latest driver then that's often what we hand over.
But there's another way.
Like everyone who ever picked up a club, I get my biggest kicks from striking that perfect tee-shot the one that makes contact with the centre of the club (you can almost NOT feel it), the ball soars through the air with a slight draw, lands in the middle of the fairway and rolls on and on. Pinch me, I'm dreaming!
So it was with no small measure of anticipation that I took delivery of the Bangomatic, the same brand of driver that Mr Smith used to set his record, though mine came with 12 degrees of loft and a regular flex shaft, compared with the extra-stiff graphite he wields, with a low single-figure loft.
Throughout my golfing career, I have consistently opted for a nine degree loft driver, ('surely 12 degrees is for wimps?') but the distributors at Big Hit Golf assured me that Bangomatic's launch angle was lower than standard and that I needn't worry about hitting high, ballooning drives.
And immediately I knew the two of us - the driver and me - were going to become friends. The gleaming black head measures 450cc but doesn't feel or look that big. It features a flow alignment system that claims to direct more energy from clubhead to ball with less dispersion. Most modern drivers deliver 78% of the proper directional energy toward the ball with 22% dispersion of energy, while the makers of this baby claim an energy transfer of 94%!
I found the shaft a trifle too soft for my liking but a friend with whom I have played for 20 years loves it. He has always hit the ball with a pronounced slice, but quickly discovered that the Bangomatic turned this into a power fade and produced a glorious ball flight and says he's consistently hitting his drives 15-20 yards further than he has ever done before.
DotComThis 6 degree with X flex Grafalloy Prolite 35 at 47.25 inches
----------------------------------------------------------
Hi Geoff, hit it well, with a mid flight and a soft fade.
Drove dogleg par 4 of 370 yards, and only 20 yards short of 380 yard par 4 straight into a 20mph wind. My playing partner was a bit upset because he had 105 yards left.
I'll hopefully get the long drive prize tomorrow in a charity event i've been invited to play in.
Thanks again,

SMT Encore 9 degree x stiff with Accuflex Assasin
---------------------------------------------------------------
Geoff
SMT Encore Club arrived fit and well on Saturday at 9:30 am, Thank you
It looks the business and the shaft is defiantly stiff, which is what I
ordered.
I took it for its first outing on Sunday, I actually shot my best score of
the year so far (5 over gross, from our white tees, 1 under for the front
9), conditions were good with only a light breeze.
I felt that I did not actually swing the driver to the height of my ability,
but it still worked out really well as the score shows, I have since used it
on the range and with a solid full swing it worked excellently, I feel it
may take a few more rounds on the course to fully work out how to get the
most out of the club but it is a positive move and I hope my good form
continues (mainly depends on the putting as you know)
I will be I touch soon for a progress report and hope to see my details on
the testimonials

SMT Golf 10 degree Spectrum 44inch AssassinII S flex
---------------------------------------------------------
Well the club has been through the trial period now and I have to say it is
performing very well. The shorter shaft theory definitely works and I would
say
my distance with the driver has increased as a result. It's interesting that
the
average driver shaft length used by professionals on the US Tour is 44.5
inches.
Greg Norman is currently using a 44 inch driver so if it's good for him .....
I've been trying to spread the word amongst friends at the golf club for a
couple of years now but most just give me a bewildered look. If it's not
Taylor Made and �300+ then they can't see that it can be any good.

Thanks Geoff & Tom. The GEEK Dot Com This head is the longest head I've
ever hit! It's perfect at setup and the head gives the ball one hell of a

regular golf too! This baby hits the ground running!
Thanks again. Chris Roberts (Pro Longdriver)
have a good one

gained 20+ yards carry no roll (still getting used to it) because the ground
is soft. fantastic. we measured the swing speed and he was hitting 115mph
and should be getting bigger shortly.
I carried mat's geek 360 yards!!

Recieved my spectum driver on tuesday as promised by yourself, tried it at the range [not my favorite place] hit it nicely all the same, used it in anger for the first time on Saturday, the lighter,softer shaft you advised me to have feels great. 10 degree still flies a little high for my liking but this club feels fantastic and the price is just a bonus.
No more premium priced kit for me from now on.
Thanks for your help
I'll be spreading the word

The 17 wood was great!
Bang Golf Bangomatic 3 Wood with prolite stiff shaft - Alan Andrews
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Received the BOM 3 Wood this morning at 7:30 !! Thanks for the
fantastic service guys. It certainly looks and feels great, can't
wait to get to the range.
Once again thank you for the fantastic service but most of all thanks
for producing an amazing club.
I currently use a Taylormade Burner 860 Driver (Set to be illegal in 2008) and the Bang-o-matic 3 wood easily matches it for distance at the range off the mat !!.
It's extremely forgiving (even miss hits seem to travel well beyond
the two hundred yard mark) and very easy to hit.
Kind regards

SMT Spectrum 11 degrees Prolite Elite Firm
--------------------------------------------------
After how many separate occasions does a testimonial become valid? Yesterday, my son and I played in a foursomes comp - a dangerous occasion on which to use a new driver, but it had gone ok in the warm up so I took a chance.
I was pleasantly surprised, a normal swing - no need to be too careful about swing speed ( because this shaft is slightly heavier than I have been used to?) - and I had great success. This is a good looking club with a great feel and if yesterday is anything to go by, I have found a real friend. Solid, consistent and long enough to matter - I should have had this club years ago. Add to this the value for money and the SMT puts its more expensive famous brand competitors well in the shade.
On a smaller point but nevertheless important, the head cover is much more sensible than others I have used. It looks as if it will keep its shape because of the design which ensures protection for the head and is very smart.
I have to say that our exchange of information was a big help in producing the right club for me, so I advise other intending buyers to find out something about swing speed , shape of shot etc.
Thanks SMT, you may pass this on to any one interested.
Alan.
SMT Spectrum 9 degrees Prolite extra stiff shaft 46.5 long
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All I can say is - WOW!. I got the driver yesterday and took it down the range
last night.
I was slightly put off initially by the closed profile of the face but I was
impressed by the way the club looked. Nice size head, not too massive but big
enough to increase confidence at address. After warming up and taking a couple
of practice shots with my old driver I pulled out the SMT Spectrum. 2 swings
later I had flown the ball over 280 yards with each shot, with a really
impressive flat ball flight. These shots ended up in the bank at the far end of
the range.
The shaft is purrrrfect - a tad more flexible than my Vista X Flex but that is
nice - it encourages me to swing the club rather than hit the ball which in turn
makes the shots better anyway. The increased length of the club means that all
I have to do is concentrate on putting a good swing together and the ball just
seems to explode off the clubface and go incredible distance.
Consistent...? Wow again. I concentrated on hitting balls out of the heel and
toe area, high and low out of the clubface - and found that they all went easily
over 250 yards and the club is pretty forgiving. You know when you have hit a
bad shot which is always good, but even the bad shots were pretty damned good!
I started to play with the club, hitting high/low fades and draws - and the ball
seemed to be consistently pitching at around the 280 yards mark with every
combination of shot I put on it. When I paused for breath for a moment, the
range seemed eerily quiet, and I looked around to find everyone on the range
watching me!!! At least 5 people wanted to know what the heck I was hitting to
get such distance!
Don't be surprised if you get some orders from the Lincoln area in the very near
future!
Thank you both for your help and advice in putting the club together and for
your service in getting it to me. Rest assured, the Spectrum will be a
permanent resident in my bag from now on.
Duncan :-)
p.s. I'll be putting some feedback / posts up on websites about the driver
giving it rave reviews!
All the best, and thank you for such a great club.
