XXIO launches premium, lightweight 2021 Prime and Prime Royal lines
XXIO and its Prime line of premium clubs are one of the leaders in the world of lightweight golf equipment. With the introduction of its newest 2021 Prime line, XXIO looks to continue to offer some of the fastest and most forgiving clubs on the market for those golfers in the moderate-to-slow speed category.
The biggest key to the XXIO Prime line of clubs is in strategic weighting and mass saving at every possible step without sacrificing forgiveness. From a practical and club fitting perspective, lighter weight clubs offer golfers the ability to stay in balance and route the club properly, which leads to more consistent results along with clubs that are just overall easier to swing and swing faster.
“From the exotic materials and construction to the ultra-lightweight shafts featuring our Weight Plus counter-weighting technology, every detail in the new XXIO Prime has been engineered to add distance and accuracy – specifically for players who have lost some yards over the years. XXIO Prime is truly different and special.”
– Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development.
A key component to the lightweight designs are the Prime SP-1100 shafts, which use T1100 carbon fiber and nanoalloy resin. T1100 is well known for being used in the ultra-stiff Project X HZRDUS T1100 shaft, but it can also be used to stabilize extremely lightweight designs to add strength and offer tip stability without losing feel.
2021 XXIO Prime driver
Since engineers are working with light target head weights, internal optimization is crucial in keeping MOI as high as possible. The 2021 XXIO Prime driver uses what they are calling the “Star Frame” rib structure to save every last gram around the head—specifically in the midsection of the sole to push more mass low and deep.
This works alongside the “Rebound Frame” to optimizes the stiff and flexible areas around the driver’s head to focus energy towards the face to create extra ball speed.
Another cool design feature found in the driver and the rest of the 2021 Prime metal woods and hybrids is a draw bias bulge to more efficiently promote a draw-biased ball flight thanks to gear-effect.

Technology
The new XXIO Prime fairway woods and hybrids feature where their engineers have dubbed “Cannon Sole”, which is a floating sole weight positioned in the rear of the head and allows the cup face to more area to flex for additional ball speed and forgiveness—especially for shots hit lower on the face.

XXIO Prime irons
Behind the face of each iron, which is made of Super-Tix Plus titanium, is a structure intended to flex more to increase ball speed.
According to XXIO, the combination of technologies in the new iron offers a 110% larger sweet spot than the previous generation Prime irons.
