What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 10 is 29° and the Eleven is 28°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Eleven should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 10. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the Eleven averages 0.9° stronger, with the largest gap at the 5-iron (23° vs 22°). The pitching wedges are 43° and 42°; the stronger one leaves a 8° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the 10 runs 4-iron to SW (9 clubs), the Eleven 5-iron to SW (8 clubs).
Both are super game improvement irons, built for high handicaps, beginners and slower swing speeds. The most forgiving category — very wide soles, maximum perimeter weighting and the strongest lofts. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The 10 is listed as cast body with a titanium face and tungsten-nickel sole weighting and the Eleven as four-piece cast body with a hot-forged titanium face plate and double undercut cavity. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.
The Eleven arrived 2 years after the 10, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 29° to 28°.
Which should you choose?
The Eleven is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 10 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the XXIO 10 stronger lofted than the Eleven?
No. The Eleven is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 28° against 29° for the XXIO 10, 1° stronger and worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the XXIO 10 and Eleven?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (29° vs 28°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 5-iron, and 7 of the 8 shared clubs differ.
Are the XXIO 10 and Eleven aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are super game improvement irons, built for high handicaps, beginners and slower swing speeds. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the XXIO 10 and Eleven have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37.25 inches long.
