wow... someone else looking at going the same route as me.  I currently have a SIM 2 max D, well until tomorrow at least when the buyer picks it up.  I am going to be picking my new to me mint XB up from a local seller early next week.

Exciting times! I found an LTDx Im picking up tomorrow. From the information I got in the thread the xb and LTDx should be very similar, high straight and with manageable spin. I just found a better price on the LTDx and I think I like the color better. So out to the range tomorrow to see if it works. Im planning on digging deep into Howards fitting advices to get it as optimized as possible. Went with a red profile, softer tip, since I need a touch more help getting it up.

I went from F8+ to F9 (same shaft) and felt that forgiveness was better

recently went from F9 to LDx (same shaft), a bit higher ball flight, incrementally more forgiveness.

Not noticing any length improvements - however I had worse results with previous gen mishits...I'll take that.

So the seller ended up flaking out on me and didn't contact me.  My friend had a regular Radspeed in the blue so I grabbed that from him.  I have not actually hit it yet and likely wont until next season

      Early in hand photos of the new GT2 models t the truck.  As soon as they show up on the range in player's bags we'll get some better from the top photos and hopefully some comparison photos against the last model.
