Hi, anyone yet playing transfers in the following stituation (instead of XYZ?)

1♦ 1♥
1♠ ?

2♣ -> 2♦
2♦ -> 2♥
2♥ 4th suit GF

Maybe you mean relays, rather than transfers? Most of the suits have already been bid, afterall. As for a "transfer" type relay system instead of the XYZ relays, I'm not sure I see the advantage. Maybe with transfers you can contrive to get 2/3NT played by partner if you want to, but it seems that might be a decision best left to partner's discretion.

Oh, and in your example, what if I want to naturally raise partner to 2♠? Do I have to bid 2♣ to get there, allowing the opponents a chance to double it to suggest competiting in clubs?

Ah maybe even better to make 2♥ a transfer too then. We have 3 suits and I rebid one of the suits by bidding the suit below it, i.e. to support ♦ I bid 2♣, to support ♠ I bid 2♥.

2♠ would ask for a ♣ stopper then.

I play x-fer checkback here in a big club context:
1D-1H-1S:
2C-Puppet to 2D, to play 2D or an INV hand
2D-Hearts, weak or GFing
2H-Spades, weak or GFing
2S- GFing no extra major length
2N-Nat
3C- to play
3D-4H, 5+D, slammish
3H-6+H, strong suit, slammish
3S-4 spades, GFing, Balanced
