I have the 17 degree XTD and when I hit it well it just flies. I agree that the shaft is very long for a hybrid, the same as my 5 wood, so I also find that gripping down gives a much better contact. Since I've had this the driver rarely gets used as this I find more fairways with this club and the difference in distance is minimal. However as per the previous poster I do battle off the deck more than the tee but slowing the swing down seems to help along with more of a wood type sweep.
It is a superb club with a great shaft and whilst, when it came out, I wouldn't have paid the high price (+-£200) after using one for a couple of months now it's worth every penny they ask.
