We review the latest driver on the market from Yonex
 

5 SIX REASONS WHY THE XP DRIVER IMPRESSES

1 Fast off the face

Thanks to the weighting system, this really feels like a responsive driver. It’s quick off the face and helps you get the ball flying. And Yonex drivers have always been among the easiest to use on the market.

2 It’s multi-material        

As you can see from this X-ray view above, the XP is a multi-material driver featuring a carbon composite crown and a chunky tungsten screw in the back.  Beacuse the crown saves so much weight, it allows for advanced levels of weight re-distribution to optimise performance in all areas.


3 Loft adjustability

You get a total range of 3˚ of adjustability in the XP driver. So in the 9˚ model you can go as far down as 7.5˚ and up to 10.5. Do bear in mind that decreasing the loft will open the face and increasing loft will close it.

4 Composite crown

Yonex are leaders in carbon graphite technology and this super-light structure reduces crown weight, allowing for the tungsten weight to be positioned in the rear of the sole and further weight to be placed inside the head. Composite crowns are much more expensive to manufacture than one-piece heads.

5 Highly forgiving

There is a difference of opinion in the engineering world at the moment as to whether as much weight as possible should be positioned low and back or low and forward. Yonex go for the former and that certainly makes the XP a forgiving driver on mishits.


6 Advanced shaft

This shaft is made by Yonex, who have specialist expertise in the area, and counterbalanced to move the balance point nearer the butt (grip end) of the club than would normally be the case. It matches the head perfectly.
