Can't wait to try it out.It will be in the THP Tour Van all year long for trials for those that want to test it out.
Well is it the shaft or the head that you love?Goodnight my love
So....i think we have some believers.
Heres a few quotes
"Oh my god"
"Wow this is stupid easy"
"Take this from me i dont have the money to buy one "
I saw some bombs hit thats for sure
Exactly what I expected to hear, and what will be a trend the more people that hit it. Its just stupidly good.So....i think we have some believers.

This is a company (Dunlop Sports) that has existed a quite a while and very well at that price point. As such, the move to make them more available/seen stateside doesn't mean they have to drop the price when they've been existing in that range prior.I haven't hit one but if it performs so well its a shame the cost is so high.
Seems like if it was priced more in line with other US oem drivers they could have a winner here.
Sure one could argue if something works it's worth the $600-700 price tag but that is a lot of Chedda.
I'm curious. What about it makes it so expensive to produce? Or are they justifying the price, taking a higher profit margin based on providing a superior product proposition for the customer?

I wouldn't say that. To me that's discounting the tech in the clubs, and there is a ton of it.So essentially the pricing is based on brand. Similar to a luxury item? Like a BMW, Rolex etc?

People forget, just because it's a newish name over here, doesn't mean it's that way everywhere. XXIO is a BIG deal overseas.Couldn't have said it better.

Jman. I'm not discounting their tech either. I feel though that other oems have great tech as well. With that being said I'm just trying to figure out why the $200+ premium over the other brands and their Tech. If it's a more luxury brand then I get it the premium
Maybe another way of putting it.
You game a GBB which to me is pretty up there in terms of tech. Would you pay the premium for the XXIO over the Callaway?
Well said not to mention it is my opinion that oems have held the price back on new clubs for a long long time. It would not shock me to see the price start rising on others. That said lets not forget big oems have released extremely expensive drivers in the past the Taylor Made superdeep comes to mind and there have been others.The two drivers are VERY different beasts in how/where their tech is aimed, if that makes sense. The XXIO driver put a premium on high and ultra-forgiving for the average swinger whereas the GBB is different focal point (with some overlapping similarities of course).
You have to remember though, this is essentially a JDM driver from a company who has ALWAYS existed at that price point and done well there. But, as we are seeing in this XXIO thread and the others, stateside many focus on the price because its different than what we are seeing from the "normal" OEM's. Reality is XXIO would be nuts to drop the price when they don't need to.
