It not only sets up perfectly at address but the dispersion is unbelievable and long medium-high trajectory. I would like to purchase the burner fairway probably the 5 wood but do not want a what I call a hooked face like I see on many fairway woods for some reason. I have been using the Titleist 906f4 5 wood but struggle hitting it straight because of the hooked face. It has a great feel but I need something with a more neutral bulge. Has anyone used the Burner fairway or does anyone use a fairway without the hooked face that they would recommend. Thanks-the Rocket Gentlemen,

The Burner xds are unbelievable. I also find them easy to shape shots and given the xds are 4* stronger, I am hiting them 15 yards longer the the mb's. I managed to be a 7 handicap, and time will tell if I can hit more greens (average about 9) in regulation for lower scores. Has any one hit the aw, sand, & lob Burner xd's? I am considering them, but cant find any info about what the bounce angles are. After playing the last 2 years with one of the hardest irons to hit... 695 mb's. The Burner xds are unbelievable.

For me the differences in the feel, distance and accuracy were glaring. I am a Mid-teens handicapper that has been looking for more loft and distance, and after hitting the Burner XDs, there was simply no comparison. The technology must be what they are “hyping,” because the XDs are de-lofted, with many of the clubs 2-5 degrees less-lofted than traditional clubs. But every shot was high, long and accurate… go figure. I can’t wait to get my set in my hands!
