But how was the thumb stir fry?

The XDB shaft has been fantastic in the JBEAM 535 head. I am getting great overall performance of distance and accuracy.

The XL shaft in the QUELOT LE is probably the longest setup I have for sheer distance.

I will probably get another XDB and try it in the RYOMA MAXIMA TYPE V.

...do you think the XL is geared toward a specific player? What was the kick like? I need to get a shaft for someone who is fairly new to the game.

Its geared for smooth tempo players that can handle lighter and longer shafts and the club length 46 to 47inches. It kicks big time, but is more stable than similar shafts like the Miyazaki KUA 49. It plays very similar to the Royal DECO, but launches lower. Quick tempo swings need not apply.
