Dennis,

I recently bought a full set of XPC Plus woods and irons and I'm
happy with them. The woods don't look much like the BB Warbird. If
anything, I think they intended to copy the sole design of the TM
Burner Bubble woods.

I use them for driver and 5 wood and like them very much, as do friends for
whom I've built driver.

Sole plate does help scuffed shots straight, and help is forgiving. Set up
I find attractive.

I put them on Stratus shaft

Dennis,
I just completed my 1,3,5 XPC Plus using the bulge shaft. My
unrepairable slice has been corrected by using the 2deg hook head. They
go straight and far( for me ). I have let friends hit them and they say
that they are every bit as good as their "BUBBLES" and at $50 for the
components you can afford to expermient with shafts to get the one for
you.
Good luck
Bob

I also just completed a set of XPC Plus woods 1 - 3 - 5 using GRAFFALLOY
graphites - Attach Lite. I used the graphite weighted heads for max
swingweight.
They hit straighter than my previous woods (from a fade/slice to
straight/fade).
I am pleased.

Bob... I have the XPC Plus 3 & 5-W with Aldila Low Torque 4.0 shafts,
standard length, and 2-LW with Brunswick Rifle 5.5 shafts. Have the
driver too, but built a 45" Ti-230 with Grafalloy ProLight shaft.
I've been trying to look for an excuse to build another set of irons,
but I honestly don't have an one! Really like the clubs...

Dennis,

I have a 3 wood XPC Plus with the Carbon Stick shaft. I have been using
it for over a year and it is my favorite club in the bag. I ordered the
XPC Plus driver today. I am going to try the ultra lite carbon stick
shaft with the graphite weighted head. I went from having a fade to the
nicest slight draw.
I really like my XPC Plus irons also.

I have used the XPC Plus 1-3-5 woods for about 50 rounds and I really like
them. I use a 45" Grafalloy Pro M54-S shaft on the driver and 6.5 Rifle
shafts 1" over standard on the fairway woods. I feel no desire to change
any time soon. I am a 5.3 handicap and the clubs are better than I am.

I use the XPC metal woods, which I assembled from a kit, and find them
to work great!! Much more forgiving on bad shots, than my previous
clubs.
