I am about ready to pull the trigger on purchasing two clubs that I have never seen or hit. I have read tons of opinions and reviews and everyone I read is positive.

I am getting ready to buy an Exotics XCG 15* 3 Wood and an Exotics XCG 18* 3 Hybrid.

Here is my quandry. I swing my driver with an Aldila NV Stiff shaft and have no problems with it. I have been on a launch monitor before but never really paid any attention to my swing speed. These clubs come with an Aldila DVS shaft.

Anyone know the differences between the two?

Anyone have an opinion as to why I shouldnt purchase these in a stiff shaft?

Thanks

Well i pulled the driver on an iron set, 2 hybrids, and a driver I've never hit.

If you get confidence from it, it'll be fine. It's the indian not the arrow

Hey FlopShot... I played Windsor Park this past weekend. Not a bad track... pretty tight. Shot a 92 all things considered. I was pretty happy with it.

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
