I built my XP905 Pros to the same length and swingweights as my P2's. They swing pretty much the same and I didn't need any time to "get used to" the XP905s.

To compare the two I'd say they feel similar but the XP905s feel more solid to me. Definitely more forgiving. I can work the ball right or left with either but I have to stay on top of my swing with the P2's to make sure they go straight. My natural shot with the XP905's has been pretty much dead straight unless I try to draw or fade it.

Since I have the same shafts on both sets and the lofts are equal, I hit them about the same length and the same trajectory. I may hit the XP905's a bit higher and longer but not a lot. I really need to take them out and hit them side by side for a comparison.

As far as bending clubs, 431 Stainless is pretty soft and bends well. Harder stainless like 17-4 is tougher though. The P2's bend very easily, I suspect the XP905s would bend resasonably well too.
