The XXIO series, a popular favorite among a wide range of golfers, has been number one in annual sales for 14 consecutive years in Japan since it first debuted in 2000. Meanwhile, Sakura Yokomine, Rui Kitada, and other professional golfers have scored numerous tour victories playing with XXIO clubs.
Taking the evolution of high and strong trajectories to the maximum, the XXIO8 utility hybrid features a MP800 carbon shaft with a new rigidity design that allows the club tip to flex more fully for a higher launch angle. The CG distance on the club face is also shorter than the previous XXIO model, making the head to return square at impact. These improvements work synergistically for easier return of the head to square at impact.
The XXIO8 hybrid's sweet spot has been generously expanded to match golfer's hitting point and the new face thickness design is individually customed for each loft to match the golfer's hitting point, extending the thin portion to the upper toe and lower heel areas to create a larger sweet spot and higher ball speed than the previous model.
Key Features of the XXIO8 Utility Clubs
1. New Dual Speed Technology takes maximum advantage of the golfer's power Dunlop Sports' exclusive Dual Speed Technology featured in XXIO7 to take maximum advantage of the golfer's power has been further improved, to achieve both higher head speed and higher ball speed.
1.1 Higher head speed technology
Reduce swing MOI3 to increase head speed The grip has been made 3g lighter and the shaft 1g lighter than the previous model, resulting in a club that is 4g lighter overall. The shaft's center of gravity (CG) has also been moved 10mm closer to the grip to achieve a synergistic effect, decreasing swing MOI and increasing head speed. 3 Swing MOI = the moment of inertia on rotational motion centered at the shoulder
1.2 Higher ball speed technology
Thinner face for higher ball speeds Open-face construction allows the face to be made thinner, for a significant improvement in repulsion performance. This results in higher ball speeds.
Reduced power loss on miss-hits means higher average ball speeds The sweet spot has been expanded to match target golfers' strike points, resulting in higher average ball
2. XXIO technology
Meticulously formed to help you go for the green with the feel of an iron The face edge of the crown is raised to form a top blade, and a slight gooseneck incorporated, improving directional control to help you go for the green with the feel of an iron.
