How would you decide or describe the attributes associated with the DVS v the GD shafts? They are of considerable different weigh and, torque and kick.

I think the distance results between the two heads will be negligible. They are very similar distance wise, with the correct shaft. Forgiveness wise you will see some benefits from the newer model XCG as it is designed to be a little more forgiving than the previous models from the Exotics line. I would say if you like the cb2 and hit it well, your results will not be that different. If you are looking for a little more forgiveness and a little bit easier launch of the deck the XCG might be the way to go. Either way they are both very good three woods.

Hope that helps

Like Scott’s June 23rd comment, I would also like to hear how this compares to the CB2. I just bought a CB2 from Edwin Watts and did not realize there was a new model out in the CZG. I have only played one round with the CB2 so far and will play twice more this weekend. The price of the CB2 and CZG are the same and I get a 30 day play/return policy so wondering if I should switch to the CZG. I am sure I will not always make sweet spot connection and maybe the forgiveness will be good. However, I do not necessarily want a high launch club but suppose the shaft can take care of that (I got it with teh UST V2 stiff). I like height but not too much, is all. I play to an 8.2 index right now. Thoughts?

How would you compare the XCG with the CB2? I’ve been hitting both trying to decide which to purchase. Results have been almost identical for both clubs. So far, neither one is a clear winner.
Thanks

This is indeed the best 3 wood out there. I hardly use my drive anymore

the review is excellent, it truly describes the club. I work in a golf store and i hit this wood almost everyday. the feeback is sharp and feel is solid, it sounds nice too. its a great buy, and most people who buy it from us, already know how good the exotics range is, so they have no problem splashing out a little extra. as for me, i’m sticking with my original exotics fairway wood, as i still havn’t found a better choice!

These fwys are very solid and extremely forgiving off the fairway too. I am staffed by tour edge and carry the 13 and 16 degree woods. best fwys i have ever hit

It is a very solid 3 wood in my opinion. But it is a little pricey. In my article I made sure to mention that if you are going to buy this club, make sure you get the correct setup for you and your golf swing. It has a higher MOI than previous models from TEE, and that helps on miss hits, etc. I would think with the correct shaft and loft this fairway wood would be a good choice for many golfers of almost all ability levels. Get fit up correctly and you will be good to go with any club, but this fairway wood is as good as I have ever played, and that is saying a lot as I have played quite a few.

I appreciate the comments on the review.

I have not yet read the Golf Mag Club Test but will soon. In the meantime, is this 3 wood one that a mid capper would enjoy? I have a tendency to fade off the deck with my Cleveland TI Launcher but it goes the distance when hit well.
Thanks for the great review!
