The XXIO 13 ladies driver forms part of the latest range of premium clubs from the Japanese manufacturer, which is aimed at mid to high handicappers with a slow to moderate swing swing speed. I tested XXIO 12 in 2022, and I absolutely loved it, so I was keen to find out how this new edition compares with its predecessor and if it will remain as one of the best drivers for women.
The colorway and styling of the large clubhead hasn’t changed a great deal. The crown remains a striking deep blue and it’s very shiny. Personally, I like it, but some women might be put off, as it reflects in bright sunlight. There’s a subtle alignment aid on the top of the crown that’s mixed in with tiny diamond-shaped accents, while the sole of this updated model has a more streamlined design in two-tone blue and silver.
