i like the setup with the callaway x hot with the fujikura motore F1 shaft, but the golf smiith that i had went to did not have that shaft when i demo'd the x hot pro, it what the matrix 7m3 black tie shaft. It was a nice feeling shaft, but the stiff feels more like a x-stiff shaft. i loved my old r11 with the white board shaft. that is the setup that i am going for if i get the pro. it is sleek and the looks bring confidence, atleast for me. i will not disagree with the fairway, it is a lot better in the x hot and not the pro version.
