Matrix and Order of Merit
 
Noticed that Justin Rose recently won the Volvo Masters and the Order of Merit. He used Matrix in every event this year, switching from a TP7X to the F7M2 in his driver. Also plays Ozik 8M2 in his 3 wood and Ozik Altus in his hybrid
New SMT Fairway Wood
  SMT 3390 Fairway
Here's the information from SMT on their excellent new fairway wood: The saying goes, "good things come to those who wait". The much anticipated successor in our fairway wood lineup of award winning SMT Golf clubheads, the 3390 Series, is upon us and we are sure that you will agree that the wait, was indeed well worth it. With its highly modified shallow face design, and a beautifully sculpted sole which is unlike anything else on the market, the 3390 Series fairway woods mysteriously retain their classic good looks in a timeless pear shaped design, which is quite pleasing to the eye at address and promotes rather easy alignment from all lies. The unique sole design assures square address and contact position from each clubhead in the set, while at the same time reducing the drag created by turf impact commonly found on all fairway woods on the market today, and virtually eliminating any clubhead twisting caused by inconsistent turf conditions or user error. The multi level design moves the center of gravity much deeper into the head for stability, solid feel and soaring trajectory where there was none before. The sense of confidence that you will have with these fairway clubs is something that you have to experience to believe. The focus on this head design was spin profile, and player confidence, rather than the old "longer and straighter" that we have all been sold on for decades in this industry, but don't think for a moment that we would sacrifice any distance with this offering, for we did not, as there is not a hotter fairway wood face in the industry today. We found that by focusing on the balls descent to the ground and its relation to design and spin characteristics we were able to squeeze more out of a clubhead than we ever thought possible. We weren't happy until we got this one where we wanted it to be, and it took 14 different mock ups, and one calendar year to get the new 3390 Series exactly right! Clubhead size, center of gravity, hosel depth, hosel length, loft choices and clubhead material all presented their own gremlins for us at times, especially relating each to the other during design changes. It never ceases to amaze how a small change in one feature can throw something else totally off balance. But this, the final result, is something truly spectacular and one that has achieved the exact goals intended for this rather exciting line of SMT fairway woods. By utilizing the highest quality #420 Maraging Steel throughout, were able to capture the nuances in ball spin profile, distance, manufacturing tolerances and manufacturing capabilities without a single sacrifice along the way. Try one for yourself and see what you have been missing all these years. We know we have done it right, and we know that we have produced something that will promote confidence in your game. Of course your new 3390 Series fairway wood will come to you complete with matching headcover, SMT ferrule and SMT logo grip, and will continue with SMT Golf's legacy of 100% Lifetime Warranty. After all, it is an SMT product, and you deserve the very best.

Just added the House of Forged "Whup-n-Shaft to my catalog. They won the 2007 RE/MAX Longdrive Open division champion in their first year competing with the 50" model.
