I played with the X Hot today and was impressed.

This club is at least 10 yards longer than any 3 wood I have ever played. I also found the trajectory of the ball pleasing to me. I would say I was within 10 yards of my driver with this 15 degree 3W.

As for difficulty to hit off the fairway, I would say that you must take a nice swing with these in the fairway. Don't try to kill it. The one thing that takes some adjustment is that the club length is 44 inches, where most 3 woods are at least 1 inch less. This may take some adjustment for some people. I felt comfortable right away.
