NEW FOR 2024: Review of the XXIO 13 Driver

What XXIO says about the 12:

“Swing easy and strike it pure with our new premium Driver, the XXIO 12. This one’s in a class all its own. Experience the difference.

“Its remarkably ultralightweight feel and significant ball speed improvement let you send it off the 18th tee as well as you did on the 1st by avoiding swing fatigue caused by heavier Woods.

“XXIO 12 sits at the conflux of ease and power. Unlike any other equipment, these optimize your moderate swing speed, so you can enjoy easier distance, easier accuracy, and easier golf.”

XXIO 12 Driver Design & Features

XXIO have worked on reducing the overall weight of the new 12 model driver to allow easy swinging and turn it into maximum ball speed.

The 12 driver boasts enhanced aerodynamics with one of the key design elements the ActivWing feature for improved airflow around the crown to help increase ball speed.

The ActivWing and airfoil shape manipulates airflow similar to the wings of an aeroplane, providing stability through the downswing to ensure the clubface meets the ball square on impact.

XXIO believe the design tightens impact area on the face, makes finding the sweet spot easier and reduces the amount of slice imparted on the ball.

The driver also featured Rebound Frame technology with four alternating layers of stiff and flexible zones behind the face. The flex zones work like a spring to transfer energy into the ball for more speed and distance.

To face itself boasts Cup Face technology with varying degrees of thickness of Titanium to ensure ball speeds are not impacted by off-centre strikes.

The face is divided into six Bulge and Roll sections which correct the impact on high, low, toe or heel strikes to keep shots straight for longer and maximise carry distances.

The XXIO driver is available in 9.5 degrees, 10.5 degrees and 11.5 degrees loft options. It is non adjustable.
