The clubs have a great feel to them even on mishits

I had a TaylorMade Burner which has a closed face and draw bias. The closed face (2deg?) helped with the slice but if I came over the stop, strong, I snap it in the trees.
The Str8-Fit has a nice visual set up when set to N or even 1 degree closed. Visually, the Str8-Fit can suit the person who likes a square/open/closed looking club.
The technology does work. Fighting a slice at the range with a neutral set up, I changed the club head to closed 1 degree/1 flat. This changed the ball flight to a slight fade. By the end of the range session, the ball was going straight, even a trailing draw (my swing plane definitely improved).
And the club is long. The TaylorMade is very long also but the Str8-fit is as long and more consistent. I was fitted at a local golf shop for shaft flex and loft. And also shaft weight. Each shaft weight has a different kick point. The store employee recommended a 9.5 and mid-weight/medium ball flight shaft, because my ball flight is slightly high in the neutral position and will get higher when set to closed. Getting fitted is definitely worth it.
The sound may be the only drawback. And this is nitpicking. It's on the loud side but not as load as a Cobra. The Burner has a nicer "smack" in my opinion.
All in all, I couldn't be happier with the Str8-Fit.
