XLD represents the first Exotics-branded club to go beyond the better-player market and is built to help you hit it farther without swinging out of your shoes. It weighs less than most drivers (295 grams total), due in part to a long (46 inches), light (50 grams) shaft. The lively clubface varies in thickness — 3.3 mm in the center, gradually thinning to 2.8 mm along the edges — to bolster COR on off-center hits. Plus, a light titanium crown and pentagon-like shape lead to enhanced perimeter weighting.
