with alignment.
Various lofts are available (7.5°, 9°, 10.5°, 12° and 13.5° which is virtually a 2 wood), I opted for the 9 which gives a good flight, high enough to clear trees etc but still some penetration. The weights in the head are distributed to increase stability, forgivness and control and given the loft on mine I would agree, of course a bad swing is always going to give a bad result but the head is forgiving.

Advantages: Really not many, interesting idea for a product though Disadvantages: Poor graphics, poor sound, and not as good as the free Pictochat
