Thanks for the report on the Callaway Hot X 3 wood (I have a hard time calling them a "metal."
"Straight and long" is a very good thing,regardless of the swing method used!
FYI, the guys at the local Pro Golf store are raving about the Tour Edge Exotics CB2 fairway wood. I got to hit the CB2 one the golf course and it definitely felt longer than my Cleveland 3 wood.
