The golf equipment market is a crowded place, dominated by established giants with decades of R&D behind them. So, when a new name like Oximity Golf emerges with a driver promising to tackle one of golf’s most persistent frustrations – the slice – it certainly grabs my attention.
I approached the Oximity driver with a healthy dose of skepticism, eager to see if this newcomer could genuinely deliver on its bold claims and compete with the best drivers in the game…

Some of the best drivers for slicers feature a closed face angle, some feature an upright lie angle, and some rely heavily on a heel-bias CG location.

Where the Oximity driver truly shines, and where its unconventional looks find their purpose, is in its performance, particularly its anti-slice properties. Oximity Golf highlights its “Extreme Draw Bias” and “Unique…
