aimersbent Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I am curious how the Tourstage Viq, X-Drive, & XST compare in regards to appearance, ball flight & playabilty. Any thoughts are appreciated. Visually, from photos, it looks like the Viq is a low profile head. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 X-ST is the older FW model geared toward better players and that was just replaced with the X-Drive FW. ViQ is a series that is more forgiving with a higher launch. Ball flight and playability depends on your shaft, specs, and swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
languidcrane Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I too am interested in the differences between the x-st and new x-drive fairway. What changes did they make in the x-drive. I did notice the turbo rubber dampening is gone. I have the x-ut hybrid, and is one of my favorite clubs in the bag (by far the best utility I have ever hit) Which fairway wood will play most like the hybrid as far as the ball flight and feel assuming shafts are similar?

X-Drive FW is my guess, I have not hit it or compared them side by side with the X-ST. the X-UT is a new model designed along with the X-Drive FW so I would assume they play quite close.

aimersbent Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 From the photos that I have seen, it looks like the X-Drive fairway woods may be a little larger overall & deeper faced than say a Callaway X-Series. Is this true? Sometimes photos can be deceiving but I kind of favor the deeper face fairway woods as opposed to the super low profile design. Whatever the case may be the Tourstage X-Drive woods (Driver included) look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong about the size according to the post by zerohandy in the following thread: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.php?showtopic=23418 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever used titleist 904f fw, i am sure the head size of those two (X-Drive fw and 904f) are almost same. Also, in terms of playability i.e on the fareway, X-ST seems to be little bit harder than X-Drive fw. However, on the tee, the performance of X-St is incredible. So, I'm not thinking of throw my X-ST spoon (with Tour AD M65, Stiff), instead, I will add X-Drive fw #5 with Quattro Tech 65 stiff. After testing, I will follow it up again.
