I'm not a master club designer, but I know a thing or two about marketing and PR. SMT's product may indeed be every bit as good as Tait thinks it is (I've never used any SMT clubs beyond the durometer wedges, and I didn't care at all for them), but denigrating competitors and distributors does nothing to improve his image, nor the image of his product.
He projects insecurity alternated with smug superiority, and that shows me he's either not confident enough in his product to let it speak for itself or that he honestly believes he's built a better mousetrap and anyone who doesn't use it or speak 100% positive about it is a fool. Either way, mud thrown is ground lost.
I think you've nailed his aura....that's pretty much what I get. There was some other stuff but basically I called him out on his line of bull###t. I also called him Judge Judy with a smirk. It was really tame and not much of a personal attack but I don't blame the mod (RSV) for doing what he had to do. Sorry. The Nemesis story is more interesting to me now. |

I remember how protective the boss of FGI was of Tait that any who maligned the product was taken to task. I can't speak for what happened in the past, but I can say that this is most definitely NOT the case today. And that Nemesis thing WAS bull. What's the story behind the Nemesis? It must have been before my time. Werd....I missed the bannination of Nemesis. He once offered to fly from New Zealand to Canada to kick my ass. lol |

He actually made money from that scam. About 450 Figgers sent 10 bucks a piece to the kick dyno's ass fund to pay for the trip. |

And it all went tragically wrong when Neme slit the pilot's throat half way to Vancouver. The last thing captured on the black box before splash down was "*goshdarn* Yank/Pom/Mick/Frog/Kraut/Canuck/etc. flyboys must die!!!" |

More accurately, he started bitching about the "Jap" pilots, how they took forever to fly anywhere, and how they got in the way of his plane ... and they jettisoned him somewhere over the Atlantic. Which is weird, since they were nowhere near the Atlantic. |

Interesting, I never realized that Nemesis had been banned.

Okay, but seriously what is the deal with the Nemesis clubhead? My curiosity is more than piqued.

Ummm. I think I might be more confused on the topic than I was before, but here's what I gleaned from that thread: Mike Tait is smug and there's no shortage of people willing to line up to fondle his crank and eat his *feces* and tell him it's chocolate pudding. Then again, I could be totally mistaken.  |

I would, but as soon as I saw that Persimmon guy post in there, I stopped reading. Like always. |
