The Curated Take
4.0/5
The XXIO 13 Hybrid is a lightweight and forgiving club, ideal for players with mid to more moderate swing speeds who need assistance with mishits. It features a large sweet spot, ensuring consistency and distance even on off-center strikes. The hybrid provides a high launch off the clubface, filling the gap between irons and fairway woods effectively. However, it lacks workability for players who prefer shaping shots. The club's design prioritizes distance on mishits and swing speed for seniors or high-handicap players, making it suitable for those seeking reliability and ease of use on the course.

Expert Reviews of the XXIO 13 Hybrid
Jacob Wetzel For players who need a reliable option to fill the gap between their irons and fairway woods, the XXIO 13 Hybrid is highly forgiving and consistent from a variety of ground conditions. This hybrid provides high launch off the clubface and maximum distance and is designed for mid to more moderate swing speeds.
Top ball strikers looking for the ability to shape shots will be better off finding a more workable hybrid; however, this is one of the best for those needing assistance on mishits.

Workability
3/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 3 of 5 stars. The XXIO 13 Hybrid is all about distance on mishits and picking up swing speed for seniors or high-handicap players. Its workability level is low on this one, and top ball strikers who like to move the ball left and right should look elsewhere for a more tour-ready hybrid.
Distance
4/5
Jacob Wetzel gave 4 of 5 stars. For a hybrid designed for more moderate golfers with swing speeds of 90mph or less, I was still able to crank out my normal hybrid distances and similar ball speeds with my swing. This hybrid performs exceptionally well on shots that are struck on the toe or heel of the club, providing much-needed distance for when players miss the center of the club.
