The XXIO 9 Series Driver Review

After dominating the Japanese market for so many years, the XXIO brand has entered the US to replicate its performance. It seems they are on their way to achieving the target. The impressive performance of their previous series has prompted XXIO to introduce the XXIO 9 Driver.

Design

A mere glance at the XXIO 9 Driver would reveal that the club doesn’t have an overly stretched frame. Like any other driver in the market, the XXIO9 comes with a head size of 460cc. The XXIO9 Driver is a shallow club with an elongated face, which makes the club easily recognizable at the golf pro shop. The unique design and technology used in XXIO 9 Driver allow more lateral forgiveness.

We said that the XXIO9 can be easily recognized. Most driver clubs that are available in the market offer matte finish, but the XXIO9 is an exception. The crown of the XXIO 9 Series has a navy blue color that turns into a light purple color when exposed to the sunlight. Depending on the time of the day and the intensity of the sunlight, you might see the crown color change from dark to light purple. The light silver face complements the crown color very well.

Technology

XXIO is a popular brand in both Asia and the United States. The brand uses technology in all its products to deliver superior performance. If you have the basic golf driving skills covered, then the XXIO9 is there to take care of the rest. It can exponentially magnify your success, hitting off the tee.

Lightweight, Low-Density Titanium Crown

The current trend adopted by most brands is to reduce the weight of the driver to make the swing faster and easier. Even in the case of XXIO9 Driver, the makers have opted for lightweight, low-density titanium crown for the club.

What does reducing the weight of the crown achieve? This single move achieves many objectives. A lightweight crown means, the weight can be added to the base. This will lower the center of gravity, and help the player drive the ball better, higher, and faster. Furthermore, making the crown lighter will allows the makers to push 7 grams into the sole of the driver. Making the lower and back end of the sole slightly heavier will help the ball climb higher and travel longer off the tee.

Club Face Technology

Most brands are well aware of Club Face Technology, but they rarely use it in their products. XXIO has slightly modified the technology and incorporated in the XXIO9 Driver. The toe and heel sections of the driver have been made wider. The minor modifications will allow the players to hit the ball higher without compromising on the direction, accuracy, and stability. The updated club face technology also increases the forgiveness of the driver.

Dual Speed Technology

XXIO has cleverly used the dual speed technology to aid the speed and acceleration in the swing. A combination of lightweight shaft and grip and heavy club head generates more lag, rotational speed in the arms, and acceleration through the impact zone. These elements of the swing help the golfer with the swing path, direction, height, and distance.

XXIO Prime Driver Review

Even though your golfing skills play a vital role in your success on the course, there is no harm in taking help from golf clubs to improve your game. With the right club in hand, even an average player can swing like a pro. Golf brands are investing huge sums in technology to design clubs that are more efficient and more effective.

The XXIO Prime Driver can improve the distance, direction, and flight of the ball with no or very little extra effort. Since its launch, some three years ago, XXIO has managed to win the hearts and minds of serious golfers.

The brand name, XXIO, is enough to attract golfers. It’s the biggest and most famous golf club brands in Japan. With new releases, the brand has also managed to extend its dominance in the US market as well. So, apart from the brand name and the loyalty that XXIO has created, what makes the XXIO Driver special? Let’s find out.

Lightweight SP-800 Shaft

One of the main features that gained the most attention from the golfers is the lightweight SP-800 Shaft. The faulty notion that heavy shaft translates to powerful swing is debunked by the XXIO Prime. The lightweight shaft ensures fast and powerful swing from the tee. Keep in mind, there is no give and take here, XXIO uses the stretch-fill material to make the shaft tip. The new material is both lightweight and strong. The strong and lightweight shaft is designed to deliver the result you want.

Not just the shaft, the makers have ensured the grip is equally strong and lightweight. As the saying goes, ‘it’s the sum of the parts that make up the whole’. By using lightweight parts, XXIO has ensured the overall weight of the driver is reduced.

A fast and rhythmic swing is every golfer’s dream. The Srixon XXIO Driver ensures you have the first part covered. Furthermore, fast drive results in lower swing moment of inertia. With the XXIO Prime in your hand, there is a higher chance of the golf ball hitting the sweet spot of the driver regularly. XXIO has used the same lightweight shaft technology in its utility clubs, irons, and fairway woods.

Deeper Center of Gravity 

XXIO has made all the necessary design changes to improve the launch angle of the driver. The driver’s head comes with a deeper center of gravity, but no change has been made to the height. Small changes such as a deeper center of gravity and shallow-back head shape help the players to hit the ball in the right direction, distance, and trajectory.

Better Repulsion Performance 

To ensure the driver has better repulsion performance, XXIO has increased the repulsion over the face and also made the area around the face thinner. To accommodate golfers of all skill levels, the makers have upped the sweet spot by 8%.

All these features make the Srixon Prime Driver a must have for every golfer.
