Expert consensus review

This review weighs the manufacturer specifications, independent testing from across the golf equipment world, and long-term owner feedback, then scores the product against its closest alternatives. It is not presented as a GolfTested lab measurement.

Quick answer

The XXIO 13 Fairway Wood brings the lightweight XXIO 13 approach to the fairway. XXIO designed it for golfers who swing about 90 mph or less to hit longer, straighter shots from the tee and fairway. It is now $319.99, reduced from $399.99.

Technology

  • ActivWing: aerodynamic forces help deliver the clubhead more consistently at impact.
  • BiFlex Face: differently shaped toe and heel edges expand the high-COR area for speed across the face.
  • Lightweight XXIO design: designed to improve speed and consistency without extra effort.

Who should play it?

If a 3-wood feels hard to launch or you lose distance as a round goes on, the XXIO 13 Fairway Wood is designed for you. Faster swingers should compare the adjustable Srixon ZXi Fairway Wood.

Verdict

An easy-launching, lightweight fairway wood that makes a lot of sense for moderate swing speeds, especially at its reduced price.
