I have the Ashton MS-5 driver and the X-1 3 wood. I have had the three wood for about a year now (I got it just before they came out with the deep version).
What makes them better? Well, as Ben mentioned, they are less expensive to purchase. You aren't shelling out big bucks to have the TM logo on your club. Also, if you go into the R&D section of Ashton's website, they are leaders in the inovation of how the
clubs are made.
Snoop around their site, if you have any questions, post them up here or you can even email them at
info@ashtongolf.com and they will actually answer your questions quite quickly!!! I have sent them a few emails and I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they responded. Once you email them they will also automatically update you on new products that are coming out.
