here us the review from Todd Poston that was emailed to me last night.

Club: Hot Shot xs 26* with Icon FH shaft
Demo Day: 6/4/06
Average Score: 88 – 92
Review: I currently play the Icon FH shaft in a TM VSteel 4 wood, so I was looking forward to testing out this hybrid. I am unsure if this is supposed to replace a 4 or 5 iron, but am under the assumption it is a 5 iron replacement. I actually hit my 5 iron very well, so it would take a lot to knock it out of the bag. From address, the club head looks big and closed. I had a hard time feeling comfortable with the set up. I hit about 10 shots with the club. Half of them were straight and the other half hooked badly on me. I hit the ball plenty high, but my distance control was not very good. I had no idea how far the ball would go. One shot in particular ballooned on me (Started on a good trajectory and halfway into its flight took off straight up). I think I could get used to hitting this hybrid, but overall I do not think it is the club for me. While I am nitpicking, I did not care for the cord / no cord grip. I found it distracting as the logo was up and I did not like the color. I am a tour velvet full cord kind of guy.
I appreciate the chance to demo this club and would like to thank Christian for the chance to do so.
