The XXIO 13 doesn’t just go long — it goes long with confidence. For many of our customers, this is the perfect “classic XXIO” driver: easy to hit, easy to launch, and perfect for players whose swing speed isn’t screaming 120+ mph off the tee.
Who It Suits:
Mid-handicap golfers wanting height and distance
Seniors seeking easier launch and smooth feel
Anyone who values forgiveness over extreme workability
2. XXIO 12 Driver — High Launch & Effortless Distance

XXIO 12 stands out because it feels natural. You get ball speed not by swinging harder, but by letting the club’s design do the hard work. It’s a favourite among golfers who prioritise forgiveness and effortless carry distance.
Who It Suits:
Golfers upgrading from older lightweight drivers
Players who prefer a more forgiving but still performance-rich driver
Smooth swingers seeking consistency

Mid-handicap golfers seeking a mix of playability and forgiveness
Those who prefer a slightly more compact aesthetic
Players who still want that effortless speed without extreme height

Players replacing older XXIO drivers
Anyone wanting a slightly more modern look without sacrificing forgiveness
5. XXIO 9 Driver — The Classic Workhorse

Players moving off older game-improvement drivers
Anyone who wants effortless ball flight without complication
