What changed in the XXIO 14
XXIO gives the XXIO 14 the XXIO 12's lofts and lies, club for club (a 28° 7-iron), as it gave the XXIO 13 between them. The XXIO 14's graphite clubs are a quarter inch longer, its 5- to 7-iron have half a millimetre less face progression, and XXIO's store also sells it with steel shafts. XXIO does not say which forgiveness class the XXIO 12 belongs to, so we give it no score.
XXIO's own store still sells the XXIO 12 new on its sale page, in either hand and in regular or stiff flex, for far less than an XXIO 14 set of the same clubs, and used sets cost less again. Choose it for XXIO's light build for the least money; choose the XXIO 14 for the longer shaft or steel shafts.
