I owned the original exotics 3 wood and had to have the CB2. Bought it with GD stiff shaft....wow this club is everything as-advertised, long, sweet feeling, and ball just absolutely rockets off the face. It may be longer than some drivers, no kidding. The club is beautiful. I didn't think Tour Edge could make the exotics original any better, well they did. The combo brazing technology is just awesome and sets this fairway wood FAR apart from the others..believe it. You must try this fairway wood, its the best fairway wood on the market!
