XXIO has unveiled its new X series of woods and irons aimed at accomplished players featuring the brand’s new Weight Plus technology with a lightweight and high balance point club design.

The Weight Plus technology is created through brass and rubber weights which have been placed in the butt-end of each club – substantially raising balance points in a bid to provide ultimate smoothness. According to the company, this technology also helps players consistently find the ideal top-of-swing position which provides added power.

Speaking on their new X series, Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development at XXIO stated

“X takes the same XXIO philosophy–lightweight and easy to swing–but is designed for better players. We’re targeting golfers who have typically played ‘players’ golf equipment, but are starting to see distance declines in their game. X allows a wider audience to experience the difference of XXIO. It’s easy distance and easy forgiveness, built without sacrifices.”

The new X driver uses a lightweight carbon fiber sole which redistributes weight in a bid to offer improved launch and forgiveness as well as a muted sound at impact. The driver, woods and hybrids all feature a redesigned cup face designed to be fastest on center strikes and miss-hits.

A redesigned weight pad in the X woods and hybrids creates space for a larger cup face which is designed for maximum speed and distance, while the X irons contain a milled speed groove on the backside of their faceplate. The channel on the perimeter of the speed groove flexes at impact which is designed to rebound the added energy back into the ball for ultimate distance.

The new X series officially launches in North America on January 21, 2020, at a MAP of $199.99 for a single steel iron, $299.99 for the X Hybrids, $399.99 for the X Fairway Woods and $699.99 for the new X Driver.

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”
