What changed in the XXIO 14
Both are XXIO's lightweight 460cc drivers for moderate swing speeds, in 9.5°, 10.5° and 11.5° with a 59° lie. The XXIO 14 is half an inch longer (46 inches against 45.5), its stock shaft is a gram heavier (36 g against 35 g), and it sells the 11.5° left-handed as well as the 10.5°; XXIO moves to a new titanium for the face and body and adds a weight system to fine-tune the flight. Dunlop names no forgiveness class for the XXIO 13, while XXIO says the XXIO 14 gives more forgiveness; neither is sold as XXIO's most forgiving head, so both score 3.0 here.
XXIO's own store still sells the XXIO 13 new, for $270 less than the XXIO 14, and used ones cost less again. Choose it for XXIO's light build for less; choose the XXIO 14 for the longer shaft or a left-handed 11.5°.

How the 3.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what XXIO publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 3 | A driver head XXIO named no forgiveness class for. |
| Forgiveness score | 3.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
