We tested: 3+ (13°), 3 (15°) and 5 (18°) in Aldila DVS 75, Graphite Design X-Quad, UST Proforce V2 graphite shaft. Shaft length (3-wood): 43", graphite

Company line: "XCG boasts the longest distance and greatest forgiveness of any Exotics fairway wood. Its lower face height, deeper front-to-back dimension and 50-percent larger titanium cup face allows for a heavy sole, our highest MOI and lowest CG."

Voted Best for Distance

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Longest woods tested by five yards; great off a short tee; they score very high for accuracy; shots fly on a low, piercing trajectory; easily workable either left or right; plenty of forgiveness to handle your worst swings; slightly oversize, unassuming heads; deliver the goods from any lie; balls jump off the lively clubface.

CONS: Launches shots lower than others and may not be the easiest for high handicappers to get off the ground; feel can be a little flat on mis-hits; low ball flight out of the rough.
