Which one suits you

Pick the Hack 05 if

You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.

Pick the Xplo if

You want to spend less: it is £18 cheaper delivered today (£288 against £305.99).
You want a bit more give: the core is medium rather than hard, so it is less harsh on off-centre hits.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: shape (both diamond), balance (both high), weight, level (both professional).
