I'm very interested in all the new PXG stuff, heard the driver is solid.

[avgjoe]

[Yosef]

First and foremost ch3 could hit anything.... period. I don't like the bits and pieces... or is it the price? Hmmmm....money talks...BS walks

[johnstitch]

Why all the holes? Really not sure of the benefits and bound to massively increase costs and reject rates....

This. Gimmicky as gimmicky can get.

[SoCalTitleist]

Is that supposed to be a compression channel like titleist and Nike?

[dfreshley]

the understanding I have is that the PXG Driver comes with multiple weight screws to allow the player to re-position the CG and launch characteristics, much like AWT in TM drivers like R7 or R1, pre SLDR or pick your manufacturer- think of it like M1 with a wrench and a bunch of screws in various weights!

In using the PXG FW & Hybrids 19* & 22* .
I think they're fantastic . With the right shaft and the appropriate fitting and use of the weight screws they really are great performers .
Try em before you knock em fellas .

It's the Wrx way to knock clubs because of their initial looks...

I don't think so. Too far from the face.

If you cats are just hearing about these clubs from parson the go daddy founder your kind of late to the party there are plenty of articles floating around to fill you in so you can stop posting corn ball comments .

The weights on these bad boys really make a difference and once you get them set you can take your mind off of that stuff and just swing! Much more effective weight program than other manufacturers, just takes some time to get them exactly in the correct spot.

I absolutely love PXG equipment, unfortunately I'm broke as a joke and most of my equipment comes off the used/clearance rack. I can't even to begin to afford the investment.

If I could though, this would be my choice of "high end" equipment.

[vwgolfer]

if Charles Howell wins a tournament with PXG equipment then I will be a believer, until then I will just purchase the PXG wrench for $100!

No equipment is going to help CH3, he needs a sports psychologist.

nobody said they've never heard of these... no cornball comments?? this is golfwrx, man...

I had a chance to hit this driver a few times and it was pretty solid. I wish it was a bit more in my price range, but I guess if I could make monthly installments on it, it would be in my bag.

But as others have mentioned, once you get fitted and dialed in with the weight screws and right shaft, there is no need to worry about anything. Most average golfers never adjust their drivers or clubs once they get them.

PXG is making some serious moves this off season signing some great players to their staff.

I wish we could get the full tech story on these clubs.

Stuff that's 5 years old is still good. Don't feel bad. You can have a full pxg bag in 5 years!

If the dark and silver screws are different weights and the dark are the heavy ones
then it looks like he likes weight back and a touch more on the toe.

Is my thinking correct?
