September bag
I don't know why the XT FW doesn't get any mention, while the XV is beloved. The XT for me feels, looks, and performs great.
Yes, I love the XT as well. I'm playing the 7wd with the stock Tour AD R1 flex (feels equivalent to a US senior flex) and that thing has a got a permanent spot in the bag, not even a thought about switching it in/out. Not sure what it is but I can hit it ultra high, long, and lands so soft. I can carry it as long as I do a 3wd. The shaft is really weak, but I can control it and hit it very straight, even if I go after it. I have no clue how a senior flex shaft would perform so great for me, but it just works. I give all the credit to that stock shaft...for me it blows away the Crazy FW80. I have been looking for a 3wd or 5wd with the R1 shaft for a long time.
I've had the XV 3wd and 5wd and found the feel to be surprisingly very thin and cheap actually, felt more like a cast Walmart club than a premium forged Endo club, so I moved them on. I wanted to bag the XV bad as there are so many great reviews and they look incredible, but the feel was a deal breaker for me. Not saying the XT is the greatest feel either though, but it does feel a lot more solid than the XV. Again, the XT is all about that stock shaft for me.
