sdandrea1 Understand, I keep telling myself they are all unlike what I have, luckily, no wife to say otherwise. You buying new though does cause me to take a harder look. Doubt you buy new and walk it over to PIAS on Thursday.

      If I didn't already own a XXIO Prime 9 driver I'd try this one. I did look at the fairway woods and hybrids. They only go to 5 hybrid (no 6 or 7) so I guess that will keep me from buying them (thank God). I did look at the irons but without a full set 3-7 hybrids, they won't do it for me either. Looks like I'm set for the year (so far) with what I used the year before last.

          sdandrea1 Using Rockbottom's 25% coupon, I recently ordered the Honma driver and 3 wood for $300 shipped. I thought it was great value for 2 nice Japanese clubs. My only minor complaint so far is the adjustment mechanism, which must have been designed by engineers who don't play golf.

              After 18 holes I'd move the Honma XP-1 into OMG Holy Grail status. It's basically a XXIO. Lightweight, light shaft, high torque, draw-biased club. Sounds and feels soft. Ball jumps out there and goes! Mine is a 10.5.

              The adjustable hosel is weird. The translated instructions are even worse. I'm not touching the settings anyway. It's a striper.

                Bullshit!
                This is just your own way of self-subliminal thinking, in order to build up the $$ stash that will buy the next Holy Grail.
                It is futile. You tried it, it was great, sell it now!! Move along....'while we're young'. Dammit.
