The XXIO Prime is a super game improvement iron released in 2021, designed for high handicappers and beginners (typically 20+ HCP) who need maximum forgiveness, the highest possible launch, and the widest possible sweet spot. These irons prioritise ease of use above all else. The 2021 model's 7-iron is lofted at 31°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

The XXIO Prime features an oversized head with maximum offset, the widest possible sole, and a deep undercut that makes it nearly impossible to mishit. The CG is positioned as low and as deep as technology allows. At impact it delivers light and high-launching with a cushioned impact feel, optimised to build confidence rather than deliver precise feedback.
The XXIO Prime's 7-iron is lofted at 31° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 147-157 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 46° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.
The XXIO Prime (2021) 7-iron has a loft of 31°. This sits in a moderate range that provides a good balance of distance and traditional gapping.
The XXIO Prime is a super game improvement iron, designed for high handicappers and beginners (typically 20+ HCP). Handicaps roughly in the 20 and up range benefit most from this design.
The XXIO Prime pitching wedge is 46°. A standard 52° gap wedge pairs naturally, with a 56° or 58° sand wedge completing the short game set.
The XXIO Prime is designed to feel light and high-launching with a cushioned impact feel, optimised to build confidence rather than deliver precise feedback. The consistent feel across the face is intentional - it builds confidence by making solid and slightly off-centre strikes feel similar.
