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.

      It's a fucking review thread! I'm just posting my opinion! JAYSUS! I didn't claim it was the last driver I'll ever buy. Loosen your panties!

      Cobra looks legit. πŸ˜‰

        I've been demoing a Callaway Big Bertha B21 3w for a few weeks. This club has more offset than I've ever seen in a Callaway. I'm not much for 3 woods since I struggle to launch them off off tight turf, but I gave this a try on our long par 3s. It launches well for me off a tee and it's pretty easy to hit straight. The stock A flex shaft feels solid. I have used it off the fairway on a few par 5s and while I can't launch it high, the low running shots roll out much further than my Perfect Club.

          Typhoon Screw the 3 wood Steve. Go with a 5 wood. What you should try is go ask the proshop for the 5 wood and use the 3 wood shaft in the 5 wood head.

          Check the 5 first to see if it has an adjustable hosel if that is an issue. I have the Cally BB Epic driver and 3w. I ordered a 5 from CPO but it did not have an adjustable hosel like the driver and 3 and I returned it.

            I read somewhere a few years ago that most senior golfers shouldn't play with anything stronger than a 20*
            fairway wood. I decided to try it, so I found a 20* Orlimar Plus (deeper face than their ridiculously shallow
            original) on Ebay and reshafted it with a senior shaft. That club has been great for me....I hit it about 180,
            good trajectory, etc.
