XXIO has positioned itself as a leader in lightweight golf technology, creating designs that deliver impressive performance and aesthetics. Today, they are excited to announce their new XXIO 14 product lineup, which represents a significant advancement in both performance and design. This new series focuses on making the game more effortless to play, specifically designed […]

The concept with the technology changes and geared towards that lower swing speed sounds like it could keep some golfers playing longer. The price point is interesting with being at the very top in the driver and woods categories.
 
Great write up of the entire line up!!! Good to see them finally including an adjustable driver to their line up. I’ve never really spent any time hitting their equipment and they’ve always been on the higher priced side of things.

Does anyone know how well they do from a sales perspective?
 
Really good looking package across entire lineup. Will be interesting in reviews.
 
This might be my favorite XXIO line from the tech story ever.

I want to get some time with the fairway woods as they look great to me
 
As a slower swing speed player, I should pay more attention to xxio, but due to the lack of availability around me and the higher price point, I have never been inclined to try them. They look good, and the tech story is fun, so maybe this is the year I can give them I try if I find a demo day.
 
Great article @ddec. These are always interesting and serve a portion of the market that does get overlooked. The + models are an Interesting addition this cycle, and would fit a lot of golfers.

I wish these were more available to all in stores. I hardly ever see them.

What’s been an interesting watch long term has been how when they initially launched in NA they were definitely priced higher than other drivers. That price gap got closer for a bit and it wasn’t because XXIO lowered theirs. They are the premium lightweight brand…and they have other lines that cost more.

The gap has def closed in.
 
Great article @ddec. The Quick Tune system is a cool feature, nice to see more drivers getting the ability to fine tune the adjustments. ActivWing seems rather novel, and it looks like it would be less visually obtrusive at address than something like Ping's "Turbulators".

Given the demographic these clubs are designed for, I'd assume the shaft choices are pretty lightweight?
 
Fantastic write up of the entire line @ddec. XXIO moving to more adjustability can only be a good thing, and I love that a lot of the same tech is in all the top of the bag clubs.
 
I enjoy reading and learning about the tech behind the design especially in the driver.

they are. 41 in driver, 42 for woods, 43 for hybrids, 50 for irons. Shaft flex might alter weight a gram or two.
 
I really like the looks of the driver and woods! The irons not as much. Which is 180° shift from normal. I found some XXIO irons and hybrids for a steal. Looking forward to trying them out!
 
Adding an adapter was smart. Activwing is pretty cool looking too. For what these are supposed to be I think they are some of the best out there.
 
Nice write up! The face is "interesting" to me on the driver. Probably not for me but there's a lot to enjoy. I am very pleasantly surprised with the price. I expected it to be way more before opening the article
 
This seems like a really good release. I love that they are looking at some of the materials that have been around for a while in other industries and are tying to bring them to the golf world
 

High Grip Milled Pattern

Ultiflex face

A new laser-milled pattern, known as the High Grip Milled Pattern, has been implemented on the heel and toe sections of drivers, fairways, and hybrids. This face pattern is designed to help retain ball speed on mis-hits while also controlling the amount of gear effect.


This is cool. I can see more grip near the heel lowering spin (more friction). However I was actually thinking the opposite should be applied for the toe. What if the toe area increased spin instead? Then we would have a targeted "spin consistency," across the face. :unsure:
 
Interesting release for sure. ActivWing made me do a double take. The irons and fairways would be fun to try. I’d love to see my dad try the driver to see if he can get some distance back.
 
I like the profile off the 3w and the face milling.
Do we have a sense of what retail will be on the driver? (I’m assuming 8 bills is msrp and not what we will see at checkout).
 
Silicon in the driver face? That’s a really interesting application of technology.

The looks didn’t scream XXIO. Unsure if that’s plus or minus in my opinion, but the driver face looks sharp, especially with the tech built into that.
 
I hit the 14 Driver today and came away really impressed. Almost every drive was in the fairway. Demo a 10.5° and 36 gram Regular Flex. This was my longest drive:

I also had a drive with club head over 90mph.
Can’t remember the last time I had over 90CS and over 130BS. Unfortunately the driver had tape on the face and don’t know if I’ll ever find a tester head set up. My buddy who was with me was shocked how well I hit it and how almost every drive was “In Play”

Its got me thinking…
 
These look good and sound packed with tech. Would love to get a chance to swing one and see what it can do.
