The Oximity Driver: A Bold Return to Offset Technology That Actually Works
An Unexpected Discovery at the 2025 PGA Show
Walking the halls of the 2025 PGA Show in Orlando, Florida, I stumbled upon a brand I'd never heard of before: Oximity. After chatting with the two company owners, they kindly sent me a 9-degree driver with an extra-stiff 50-gramme shaft. What arrived was something distinctly different – a glued hosel design in an era of adjustable everything.
Old School Approach, Modern Results
The Oximity driver deliberately abandons adjustability for a focused mission: helping golfers who struggle with a slice. While most manufacturers have moved to weight-bias systems – shifting weight toward the heel to theoretically close the face – my testing over recent years shows these solutions don't always deliver the promised slice correction.
The Oximity driver does exactly what it promises through genuine offset technology.
Understanding the Offset Design
Offset means the shaft sits slightly ahead of the clubface's leading edge, similar to game improvement irons. This gives the clubhead extra time to square up through impact, allowing the face to close down quicker before striking the ball. It's a proven concept that most modern manufacturers have abandoned in favour of more marketable adjustable features.
My Testing Goal: Eliminating One Side of the Course
As someone whose natural ball flight tends toward a draw, I approached this driver with a specific objective. Under pressure, I occasionally push drives right, missing my intended draw and finding trouble. I wanted to test whether the Oximity could eliminate the right side of the golf course entirely.
The results were immediately apparent and documented in my accompanying YouTube video testing.
Real-World Performance
Drawing the ball – or even hitting a hook – became remarkably easy. If anything, hitting a fade required significant effort, demanding an exaggerated out-to-in swing with a deliberately open clubface. For most golfers fighting a slice, this represents exactly the medicine they need.
The Oximity driver eliminates the right side of the golf course. For slicers, this means game-changing confidence off the tee.
The Ball Speed Advantage
Beyond directional control, I discovered an unexpected bonus: increased ball speed. When your clubface is slightly open at impact and you brush across the ball, you lose energy through deflection. The Oximity's design helps square the face more efficiently, reducing deflection and maximising energy transfer.
This showed up clearly in my testing data – when the clubface squares up more consistently, ball speed increases and distance follows.
Design Philosophy and Specifications
Oximity pairs their offset design with lighter-weight shaft options specifically chosen to help increase clubhead speed. The 50-gramme extra-stiff shaft I tested represents their philosophy of generating maximum force whilst maintaining directional benefits.
The glued hosel means fitting options are more limited than adjustable alternatives, but for golfers primarily concerned with eliminating a slice, this trade-off makes sense.
The Trade-Offs
The non-adjustable design does come with limitations. You can't adjust loft, lie angle, or easily change shafts without professional intervention. Fitting sessions are more constrained, and customisation happens at ordering rather than after delivery.
Currently, Oximity operates as a direct-to-consumer brand based primarily in the US, though they're expanding globally as the company grows.
Who Needs This Driver?
This driver serves a specific audience exceptionally well. If you consistently slice the ball, hit persistent fades you'd like to reduce, want to eliminate the right side of the golf course, or struggle with inconsistent ball speed due to open-face contact, the Oximity deserves serious consideration.
For golfers prioritising directional control over adjustability, this represents a focused solution to a specific problem.
The Bottom Line
In a market saturated with adjustable, high-tech solutions, the Oximity succeeds by focussing on one problem and solving it completely. Whilst weight-bias systems from major manufacturers often fall short of their slice-correcting promises, the Oximity's offset design delivers exactly what it advertises.
For golfers who've struggled with persistent slicing, this driver offers something invaluable: confidence to swing freely without worrying about the right side of the golf course. The most effective solutions are often the most straightforward.
The Oximity driver proves that innovation doesn't always mean more complexity – sometimes it means perfecting a proven concept that actually works.
