WTB/T for Honma XP-1 3 Wood Regular

Hammer4413

Have the Honma XP-1 five wood and five hybrid in factory regular flex shafts and love them. Would love to see how I'd hit the 3 wood.
Have the driver also but don't care for it. The irons are awesome as well (5-11) and are helping me get back into golf. I have tons of stuff available to trade as well.

I haven't had any luck with Honma. I've got an XP-1 driver that I just can't hit. Oh well, it sounded like everyone here was hitting the heck out of them and I tried one. Maybe someday I'll come across someone who wants to buy it for $80 or so.

I've got the Honma driver in 10.5*, 43 gram factory shaft, regular flex and it's whippier than my Fujikura Speeder Senior flex shaft in my Sim Max 2 D driver. I just can't hit the Honma driver. The other Honma clubs knocked my Callaway Mavrik Max irons out of my bag. Using the Honma 5 wood and 5 hybrid in regular flex, 5-11 irons all in regular flex graphite. My driver is the Taylormade Sim Max 2 D driver, wedges and putter are Mizuno.
Just wondering how the Honma 3 wood would be.

Hammer4413 What adjustments did you make with the XP-1 driver?

I moved the loft from 10.5* to 11.5.
My Ping G400 Max is set at that loft and my Sim Max 2 D at 12.5. Problem I'm having is that the 43 gram shaft in the Honma, even though regular, flex feels so much whipper than my other 2 drivers with senior shafts....one a HOF and the other a Fujikura. I hit the 5 wood and the 5 hybrid great. I attribute that to a shorter club and heavier shafts in those compared to the driver.
Love the irons too!!!

Hammer4413 The XP-1 driver head design is as good as anything out there. Try a heavier/stiffer flex profile in it to compare apples to apples vs other brands.

Hailey's is using off the rack "R" Vizard 43 and I kinda doubt she's as slow as most seniors but is smoother in transition than most that is what the "R" Vizard 43 is deigned for. The same fitting parameters of the frwy woods and hybrids.
