Available in 9.5-degree and 10.5-degree versions, the XXIO X driver shares many features and technologies with the new XXIO 12 driver (another recent release from XXIO), including ActivWing. It is a lifted section of the crown toward the heel that breaks up air currents around the clubhead on the downswing and creates lift. However, unlike when lift pushes an airplane wing upward, the lifting force helps square the club’s face so golfers can make better contact, XXIO said.
While the XXIO 12 comes standard at 46.75 inches long to promote maximum speed, the X arrives at 45.5 inches, which should provide better players more control.
The Rebound Frame head includes a large hitting area designed to flex at impact. A rigid leading edge and topline support it. Behind the topline is another flexible area in the crown, which has another rigid area behind it. XXIO said these alternating flexible and stiff sections activate more of the hitting area and broaden the sweet spot to protect ball speed on mis-hits.
Unlike the XXIO 12, the X driver has an adjustable hosel that allows players and fitters to change loft and face angle.
The lightweight titanium crown helps reduce weight and lower the center of gravity to encourage higher-flying tee shots that maximize carry distance, and internal sound ribs improve what golfers hear at impact.
