XXIO launches new XXIO 13 drivers, fairways, hybrids, irons and Rebound Drive II balls for 2024
XXIO has today introduced the all-new XXIO 13 and XXIO 13 Ladies family of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons, as well as the brand’s new Rebound Drive II balls.
Designed specifically for the moderate swing speed golfer, XXIO 13 is a collection of woods and irons designed to provide players with greater distance, straighter shots, and better control. Packed with specialized technologies to amplify performance on the course, this lightweight offering is tailored for golfers with swing speeds of 90mph or less.


The clubs feature an all-new Bi FlexFace. The BiFlex Face creates a 125% higher COR area compared to the previous generation. Acting as a strong frame around the clubface, BiFlex strategically reinforces precise locations in a bid to optimize ball speeds across the entire face.To further enhance COR, XXIO 13’s Flat Cup Face made from special Super-TIX 51 AF Titanium allows for an even thinner, faster face in design for increased ball speed even on mishits.


“XXIO iscontinuing to up the ante in lightweight technology, by making these world class golf clubs even easier to swing. Golfers with moderate swing speeds looking to gain back distance and consistency will find it with XXIO 13. Our engineers have refined each new technology feature to better aid golfers’ performance from tee to green, so players can have the utmost confidence that their best golf is ahead of them.” – XXIO General Manager Ryan Polanco


Like the previous generation, XXIO’s proprietary Weight Plus Technology is placed under the grip, promoting an easier takeaway and release in the downswing. Additionally, all-new ActivWing aims to guide the club face into an ideal position during the downswing for more consistent results.


Another featured technology across XXIO 13 is Rebound Frame. Consisting of four alternating layers of flexible and rigid zones, Rebound Frame injects more energy into the golf ball in design for increased ball speeds and distance.
XXIO 13 Ladies

XXIO 13 Ladies is a lightweight set of woods and irons individually crafted to suit a woman’s swing or style. A key feature of XXIO 13 Ladies is ActivWing technology featured on the Driver,Fairway Woods, and Hybrids. This new technology guides the club face into an optimal striking position, in a bid to make it easier for female golfers to hit the sweet spot consistently and improve their ball speed.
The new clubs are designed to launch higher and go farther, thanks to their 4-piece construction and thin, lightweight titanium face. Each iron is optimized by loft, ensuring that long-irons provide enhanced ball speed and a lower Center of Gravity for maximum carry, while short-irons emphasize control with a higher CG for improved high-low MOI.
Rebound Drive II Balls
In addition, XXIO has today unveiled their new Rebound Drive II golf balls for 2024.

The new Rebound Drive II golf balls feature XXIO’s proprietary Rebound Frame Technology. ReboundFrame uses a 3-layer structure of alternating high and low rigidity areas in design to produce the right amount of flex for each shot. This setup aims to promote higher ball speeds and softer feel at impact.

Rebound Drive II comes in four different color options, including Premium White, LimeYellow, Premium Pink, and a 4-color assorted pack guaranteeing a ball for every player and style preference.

Odyssey extends Damascus Milled lineup with 3 new putters
Odyssey Golf announced Tuesday that the already popular Damascus Milled putter lineup is getting more options.
Initially launched back in April, only in a Damascus Milled #7 head (in plumbers or double bend configurations), the family grows to four with a One Wide, Two and Rossie S shape, all available in the second limited-edition drop at retail on June 6th.
“Damascus Steel is a beautiful material, and the patterns tell the story, because every one is different” said Odyssey General Manager, Jacob Davidson. “But what stands out is that as beautiful as these putters are, the feedback from Tour has been the exceptional feel of these putters. We wanted to deliver the most premium performance-driven putter we’ve ever done at Odyssey. When you look at this product, we have so much confidence because there is not one thing we’d do different. On this one we really took our time over the last couple years to try to perfect the design.”
Created from a layered construction of multiple steel alloys, this Damascus Steel insert is forged, folded and pressed to create a unique, striking pattern in every piece. Think of it like a fingerprint. Each Damascus construction comes with its own 1-of-1 style pattern. No offerings will ever look the same.
The layered structure, combined with a specialized heat treatment, delivers a finely tuned, highly responsive feel different from other insert materials. The Damascus steel is audibly different compared to other inserts, potentially with slightly more feedback. Odyssey also uses AI-designed back contours to maintain consistent ball speed across the face, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern tech.
Each head in the line is precision-milled from stainless steel and features a blasted silver finish to complement the Damascus insert and sole plates.
With Tour feedback, Odyssey has also developed, in collaboration with Golf Pride, a grip featuring meticulously crafted edges, pistol shaping and a classic modern tour feel.

L.A.B. Golf launches new VZN.1i putter
L.A.B. Golf has been the pioneer when it comes to Lie Angle Balanced putters for years now. When you talk to another golfer and zero torque putters comes up, as it will since it is the hottest thing in golf, the first brand out of their mouthes is L.A.B. Golf. Currently their putter line up has something for every golfer, wether your like blades or mallets. But the company has a new creation for golfers that we saw out on tour just a few weeks ago and is now available to us, the VZN.1i putter.

One of the big stories with the new VZN.1i putter is alignment in the form of the shape. L.A.B. has always given us plenty of alignment options in their putters with different line formations and shapes that can be laser etched onto the top of the putter. With this new design they used the shape of the head and the open cavity in the middle to help enhance the alignment for players. These shapes help players lock into their intended line to improve accuracy and concistency.
“VZN.1i was approached formulaically by combining everything we’ve learned from the success of previous L.A.B. Golf models into a familiar mallet shape that’s easy on the eyes and even easier to putt with,” said Cameron Day, Senior Vice President of Product at L.A.B. Golf. “Every L.A.B. putter is engineered to roll the ball on its intended line through Lie Angle Balance technology. With VZN.1i, we took things a step further by simplifying another critical aspect of putting: alignment.”

Like most of the other L.A.B. mallet putters the VZN.1i is machined from a solid block of aluminum and features a 303 stainless steel face insert. Steel face inserts on all L.A.B. putters not only enhance the sound and feel but they improve ball speed for better distance control. The new shaping also offers two ways of picking up your ball, using the sole or the rear flange can scoop up the ball. The company is offering the VZN.1i with a 1.5 degree forward shaft lean or a vertical shaft option in order to fit more golfers. Each VZN.1i is hand balanced and 10 other stages before it is complete and ready to ship. L.A.B. has its custom program where the golfer can select their length and lie but also head color, shaft upgrades, and grips to make their VZN.1i fit them perfectly.

The VZN.1i is available now starting at $499 for stock models and $599 for custom.

2026 Edition: Most comfortable walking shoe? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, one user has asked a question sure to interest all sorts of golfers. What’s the most comfortable walking shoe of 2026?
@RobDMB posed the following question:
“Looking for suggestions/recommendations on the currently available most comfortable walking shoes – preferably waterproof. Essentially looking for something comfortable like a running shoe, but with some stability and waterproof for golf. Decent room in toe box as well. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!”
Our members in the forum have been sharing their own recommendations on the best walking shoes that can also survive a number of golf rounds. 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.
- SheriffBooth: “To check all your boxes I’d vote for whichever of the current Nike lineup fits your feet the best. Obviously the Victory Pro 4 and Victory Tour 4 are good enough for the two best players in the world, but the new Pegasus, Next% Tour 3, and Tempo all look really good too.”
- i*windows: “when I had issues with my feet I played in Asics running shoes they were a little bit like the hoka’s above, very comfortable, now I’m back to Ecco shoes which are great.”
- mshills: “Everyone’s feet are different so this will be a long list of lots of different shoes. For me, anything from Ecco’s Biom lineup. Nothing else comes close.”
