I usually do not say a non forged iron feels like butter but the Super TIX face felt awesome.
An effortless swing launched the ball in the air higher and further than my equivalent lofted ONOFF 7 Iron AND the feel was like butter. I love my ONOFF and believe that they are one of the easiest irons to hit with a very nice feeling Maraging face but my first shot with the XXIO Iron had me in a bit of shock. When I took the XXIO iron out for testing, I also had my 2008 ONOFF irons and Honma MG613 and R9 Max test irons with me.
This design with all the weight in the sole create a high launch max carry iron. The new face coupled with a Power Dumbbell weighting system (yes they actually call it that) which is a 55g tungsten weight sole create XXIO’s highest MOI iron ever and a 5% larger sweet spot that last years XXIO iron.

This years Z-TX driver also uses the Super TIX face and XXIO has decided to use this same face (albeit thicker) for the new 2010 iron matched with the soft SUS630 body.

XXIO drivers have always stood out for a soft feel and hot ball speeds thanks to the proprietary Super-TIX faces they use, a special titanium developed by Sri Sports.

However unlike the most common materials we see in mid sized CB’s from Japan, like Titanium faces, ASRolled Steel, Stainless Steel and Maraging faces, the XXIO is a one of a kind using the same Super-TIX PLUS material found in its best selling drivers. Many average golfer irons focus on forgiveness and distance and the XXIO 2010 is no different. The new 2010 XXIO iron is a mid sized cavity back and like the previous 2 generations features a pocket cavity. So the new XXIO 2010 irons are right up my alley and I was very excited to get a chance to test them. All my clubs are playable clubs for the average golfer especially my current irons the ONOFF 2008 Red irons. Even my swing speed and my distances are so average with a driver distance of 225y and a 7 iron distance of 150y (strong lofted average golfer irons). After spending a week with the new XXIO clubs in the bag, I have to say XXIO continues to move in the right direction.Īs a mid capper who shoots around 90 give or take a few shots (best round 88), I fit right smack dab in the middle of Japan’s average golfer group. Designs are always well thought out to maximize performance and ease of use for the average golfer or mid to high handicapper. XXIO is a performance brand based on cutting edge technology and materials. XXIO is also a leading brand on the JLPGA where many top Srixon lady pros are playing the XXIO brand.
Their primary focus is the average golfer which also happens to be the largest segment of golfers in Japan. XXIO produces drivers, fairway woods, utilities and irons that have always been on the best selling charts for both men and women year in and year out. However, those who are in Japan or know Japanese golf equipment, know that XXIO, a wing of Sri Sports/Dunlop has long been the number one selling average golfer brand in Japan. There are many people outside of Japan who have probably never heard of the brand XXIO (pronounced ze-ku-shi-oh, say that quickly…).
