I get Urethane cover balls only, due to the higher spin I can get with the softer cover on my Tour quality balls. And if you think those XL5000's are hard, just be glad you don't have to play with the older XL2000 balls. I haven't played the XL5000's but I know the XL3000 was MUCH softer feeling than the older XL2000 rocks.

As for Maiden and Metal in general....

Well, I'm new but I would think the woods would be better. My 5w is 18d. And I'm looking at those very high degree woods that Bang makes. I'm also looking at hybrids but it just makes sense that a larger head would give you more. It's interesting that each company has different degrees for each club. You have to watch that. One companies 3 wood will be different than another companies 3 wood.

Thanks for the info :)

Angel, what is the grip called that feels exactly like the DD2?

I'd like to throw something out for discussion if I may. I have a 17* hybrid which I like. I also have a 5 and 7 wood which are also good friends. So, what difference, if any would a 3 wood be related to the 17* hybrid? Thinking about a 3 wood....why, I dunno... Man thanks to all for your replies. Have a good round.

Actually it can last for theoretically 27 holes

From my experience the 3 and 5 woods will give you more distance than the hybrid. I believe the hybrid would match your 7 wood in distance. But if you are happy with your fairway woods, why stick a hybrid in there?

Give that 3 wood a try, it can't hurt. I seem to hit my 21* hybrid a little more consistently than my 3W and 5W, so I leave the FW woods at home. When I go to the range I take all the clubs and check to see if something has changed with respect to consistency, I think everyone should have both hybrids and FWs. But just keep the ones you hit best in your bag. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a 7 wood. I'll try anything.
