Same here. Rocking it at 10.5°, and just killing it. Middle of the face just sounds and feels so good. Such a stable, tremendous driver!

I am really happy with this club. Shocked how well I hit it to be perfectly honest.
Was talking to JB about this one yesterday as I play last year's model. Did you game it at all, seeing any big differences if so?
Yes I gamed that one for a small while. I think the shaft is making a big difference for me. But in the FW's for example I added 8 yards per club vs my current Xhots.
Yeah I'd like to try the drivers side by side out of curiosity and see what kind of differences I see.
I got an XHot 4 wood about to go in the bag, will be interesting to see side by side numbers. I will say that, off the deck, the X2Hot might be one of the easiest long clubs I've ever worked with in terms of getting it up in the air.Yes I gamed that one for a small while.

Well, I've gotten my X2 Hot out on the course a few times now. All I can say is, wow. I don't know what it is, if it's the technology, the material, or just psychological, but this is the first time in a while where changing a club has completely transformed my game. I have it set at +1 Draw and I hit long, straight drives nearly every time. When I screw up, it's things like snap hooks because I am still used to over compensating for a slice plane. I am so glad that the guy at Golfsmith had me try this one out. It is definitely my gamer for this year...and maybe many more to come!
Any lefties out there pondering this driver, I'll move mine cheap! Really enjoyed my time with this driver.
Experiment or from hitting it prior?
I went going in to hit the 2 Deep & 13.5 FW wood. Just for giggles I grabbed the 13.5 driver. It was 20-25 yards further than the 2 deep and seemed more accurate. I have to get it on the course now to see.
Interesting info. The larger club head should in fact offer more forgiveness if all other things are equal. It is similar to what I was speaking of in the SLDR Mini thread.
What loft and shaft?
Looks good Nate. Aldila Tour Blue?
Yes, I went Stiff Blue over the Green. Looking to for a bit more help with the launch (even though it's a 13.5).
Should have no issues with launch there Nate! Curious to see how it goes for you. I've got mine cranked up to 11.5 and I hit some high ones from time to time, but I could probably roll with 12.5.
