XXIO 14 pushes lightweight technology, the first adjustable driver

The lightweight segment of golf clubs is one of the fastest growing spaces in golf clubs, with more and more OEMs offering lighter options to help players increase speed and launch.

XXIO has been a leader in that space for a long time, and today, they’re unveiling their latest XXIO 14 lineup, packed with innovations for players who don’t move fast (or not as fast as they used to).

“XXIO 14 represents a real shift in where we’re taking this brand,” XXIO vice president Chuck Thiry said in a release. “We’ve moved beyond incremental improvements to deliver something completely new, making it easier than ever for women and seniors to move faster, hit straighter and enjoy the game even more.”

What’s new with XXIO 14?

At the heart of the entire XXIO 14 line are the new Ultiflex faces. In the forest, it is centered around a new material, VR-Titanium.

XXIO says VR-Titanium is stronger, thinner and more durable than previous materials and increases ball speed with minimal effort.

The woods also feature ActivWing technology and a new milled pattern with high grip in the heel, which helps curb spin on off-center hits.

Finally, for the first time in XXIO history, the driver features a 1.5˚ adjustable sleeve, allowing players to adjust launch and spin characteristics and giving fitters another lever to find a player the best driver for their games.

Ultiflex is also present in the irons, using a titanium face to save weight and repositioning it lower with high-density tungsten that naturally launches the ball higher.

There’s also a newly designed L-Groove that sits lower on the face and increases flex for extra ball speed on low shots.

In addition to the men’s XXIO 14 line, there is a women’s XXIO, which has rounded shapes and is optimized for slower swing speeds.

Finally, there is also a new XXIO 14+ line, featuring the same technology as the standard XXIO 14 line, but optimized for faster travel speeds (90-100 mph). The XXIO 14+ woods have a matte finish and darker faces and the irons have a V heel for improved ground interaction.

Who is XXIO 14 for?

The entire XXIO brand is built around helping players with slower swing speeds or older players who have lost a bit of their fastball. For players looking for a little extra help with launch speed, the new XXIO 14 line will make a great fit.

XXIO clubs are also biased towards the draw to help players fight a piece.

The new XXIO 14+ line will appeal to players who don’t have a ton of speed, but maybe have trouble getting the ball in the air.

My thoughts

Too often, clubs in the lightweight space are afterthoughts and end up as watered-down versions of the best products. But with the XXIO, the whole brand identity is about helping players with slower swing speeds who need these lighter weight clubs.

This is evident with their latest line of clubs.

Finally, players looking for super lightweight hats have an adjustable tube driver option, making it easier than ever to find the perfect XXIO driver. This will only add to the number of players who will benefit from a premium focused ultralight club.
