And the industry is sooo concerned that the numbers of golfers is dropping precipitously… hmm,
No, I wouldn't pay $1000 for a driver. I bought a $199 PXG 0211 driver, because I didn't want to pay $500 to $600 for a Ping, TM or Callaway driver.
Only way I would pay that price is to win the lotto. That's not going to happen. So, no $1000 club for me.
I’m 69 year old golfer who has lost distance through the years due to a slower swing speed. Natural progression of aging.
I stopped using 3 woods and 5 woods due to lack of swing speed to get the ball up. I’d hit low line drives that could not carry much.
I tried a friend’s Xxio prime 5 wood and it felt terrific. Lite, easy to swing and square up and it went like my woods back in the day.
The ball seems to fly off the club face. Went on line Amazon Prime day and bought one that was about 3 years old but new for $229. New this went for $599. So far I am enjoying it and hitting it well. It’s only been three rounds but it’s a keeper.
I agree a new driver for $1,000+ is somewhat extreme but I’m looking for a similar deal for one that is 2 or 3 years old.
Personally no I don’t think I can justify it with SWMBO 😂. However (and hopefully you don’t take offence) but it seemed to produce a lot straighter ball flight for you, (who by shot tracer observation over many videos) seem to have a consistent fade but a predictable one and that you can play to.
Yep
To answer your question, nope, never, absolutly not, no chance, you got to be kidding, the wife would kill me, daft price.
It’s a no from me.
I will stick with my limited edition white SLDR i got from the used bin for 69.00.
£1000? is crazy money for a driver. saying that, people pay 5 figures for collectible scotty cameron putters so who knows..
Yes…in fact, I may replace mt Callaway Rogue 3, 5 and 7 with these clubs.
No way Im paying that much.
I would say NO for now…BUT if I was a Pro and though it would give me a edge I needed, then possible…
The clubhead is not for me, especially since the only adjustment you have is a single rear weight; the loft does not appear to be adjustable. Very similar to the Wilson Dynapower clubhead, highly rated for less than half the price. However, I can see a trend towards lighter and stronger shafts, and I will be very interested in seeing if other clubmakers start offering them as standard equipment.
nope
No
Nope!!!!😂😂
No!
no
Buy it next year for more than half the price.
No way.
That weight system was in the Cleveland XL hybrids, which are point and shoot
No
Well I have that exact XX10 9 degree Prime Driver and I can say this…… once you’ve played 4 rounds you’ll want to put it next to you in bed cause it’s incredible how much longer you’ll hit straight and longer bringing back the old days you could go 250 plus yards in the middle of the fairway❤️🏌️
NO
not much change out of $1300 in Australia if your lucky
No
I would take it off your hands ,if your giving it away 😊😊😊
I have the Prime. awesome!!!!! But there is another club–the Prime Royal-1199 US. Don't want to try it on the off chance that I like it.
$ 1000 ? Not in a million years
$1000? No way.
But I did recently counter balance my 40 gram driver shaft with my Rogue ST Max head and it went from great to WOW great for my driving game.
I mean, I have $1k into my Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond with the head, weight, and shaft combo. First round I didn’t get any longer than my PXG Gen 5 XF but I did get more consistency.
No
No. Heck, I won't pay for a new Paradym.. Still swinging my M2 till something breaks! 😂
No, not with my game at the moment Andy😂😂
Greetings from Canada. 🇨🇦 Have played a full set of XXIO Prime 9 for several years. (Bought used) My age is 71 and I currently have a 7.2 handicap index. Love the clubs. Keep up the good videos. 👍👍👍
No. I'd never dream of spending that much on a club. There again, I'd never dream of spending over £500 on the latest new release. I just treated myself to a driver, but it's second-hand. I spent £240 on a used Callaway Rougue ST Max, and I love it. You never know, maybe in another 18 months, I may sell it on and buy a used Paradym! Hopefully, It will be in my price range by then. I would love to try that driver to discover if the counterbalance system would work for me! If I win the lotto I will buy one and see. 😂
The International Flex Code used by Miyazaki divides the shaft into four sections and assigns a number corresponding to the flex of each. The first number is for the butt, the second for upper middle, the third for lower middle, and the fourth for the tip section. The IFC consists of numbers 0 through 9. Number 1 corresponds to A or senior flex, 3 is R, 5 is S, 7 is X and 9 is XX. You have the latest version, the Prime 12. The first three numbers on the SP-1200 Miyazaki shaft in your XXIO prime driver are 222. I cannot see the last one, but it by default is a 1. Thus, while they indicate the shaft is a Regular flex, in fact it is between an A flex and an R flex, with an A flex tip, so quite whippy. It is also ultra light at 35 grams. However, the materials and manufacturing technology used in these shafts are top quality, the same as used in the Graphite Design shafts that cost US $350, so their movement during the swing is consistent and well controlled. The titanium they use is aerospace grade. I totally agree with you not to dismiss the XXIO range, but on the other hand I also would never pay $1000 for a driver. I recently did buy a XXIO X black driver, the 2019 version with the orange trim, not the newer one with the green trim that you tried. Just happened to find one at a nationwide reputable major reseller of used clubs in absolute mint condition for only $252. At that price, I had to try it. The head was made in China, the shaft in Japan and it was assembled in the US. The X black versions are made with slightly stiffer and heavier Miyazaki shafts for players with somewhat faster swing speeds. The Miyazaki A-1 shaft with mine weighs 47 grams and is a stiff flex, 4333 on the IFC. As you can see, that would actually make it between R and S in the upper butt section, and R in the lower three sections.
I’ve got a Paradym with a custom shaft & grip so not far off 🤣
Yes
No question it’s expensive so for golfers that play often it comes down to performance . If it is really superior on accuracy and distance to other drivers it might be worth it.
