New PXG prototype driver

[snagy2000]

Guy nitpicks about the alignment X, and he's a Pinger...um, turbulators anyone, and effort in moving weight which are both non-issues IMO.

Thought I would be fine with the F9 but this thread has got the ho in me interested. Will be getting fit @ PXG last week of Jan.

They are great looking drivers!

I just hope you get better balls to hit than the old, cold, dog chewed range rocks that I got for my fitting...haha, looking back on that part, for a company claiming to be the best in the biz should use better balls for their fittings!

 

Were you at Scottsdale? Kind of strange they’d have folks hit off of banged up range balls at HQ... at least it was outdoors or hit into a range?

 

All the PXG fitters around he use top level golf balls.

287 seems pretty good off of 104 (that’s around my speed)

 

Oh boy this is going to turn out to be an expensive spring. The driver has my attention as I’m not loving the shape of the epic flash SZ as much as my original epic SZ. May be moving closer and closer to an all PXG bag...

Was your fitting at PXG headquarters?

Not at HQ, but with a PXG Rep. It is on their map of places to be fit on the PXG website. So it's not some make shift spot, it's the spot in a 100 mile radius....just struck me as odd given their premium stance in the market place...

 

For comparison purposes, I did a fitting with a golf course retail shop for a titleist ts3 driver, they had nice range balls or new range balls to hit for fittings, he actually had me hit my gamer for a base line. Then we actually started hitting pro v 1s with both clubs. When we could not beat my gamer, he said maybe with a stiffer shaft we could beat it, but he did not have those shafts in stock. But he was honest and the numbers did not support switching.

PXG has no say over the golf balls used at any of their fitting facilities outside of headquarters. Neither does any other OEM.

Do you work for PXG? I'm just not sure how you could say that unless you do. Anyway it's an issue I'd address if I worked for pxg. Every fitting site should be up to par. I've been to other places that have a range and they use a different color premium ball that the range boys sort out that are for fitting use. I've hit balls many many places and I've done fittings all over, these were the worst shape balls I've ever hit on a trackman. Dude is trying to sell the most expensive gear and using cheap dirty chewed up garbage range balls...That's all I'm saying. Rant over...

Unless PXG gives their fitters balks they are subject to what provided by the hosting facility as was mentioned earlier applies to every other brand. I’ve been to several fitting days at various locations from private courses including one for a pxg fitting at a course that hosts pga event to some local ranges and none of the brands used anything but what the course provided. Titleist reps during titleist Thursday will sometimes use prov balls but that’s not a guarantee and I’ve done two different ones

I was hoping to do a little testing this past weekend between the X and the XF but it was 40 degrees and raining out. I mean come on, PXG should know that when people pay a premium they want it to be sunny and 70's out when they go to try the product...

Haha I knows I texted our local/regional rep about placing a call to Mother Nature so I can get on a fitting. I’m sure the regional fitter wants a break from NJ and to travel a few hours south

Gen 2 hybrid and fairway on order!

 

FYI - it is about a 2 week build time right now for anyone looking to order anything directly from PXG.

No Gen 2 driver?

[mmaloney23]

I’ll take the ts3 over this 900 piece

 

Read and listen to the below link to a video on the tech in this driver and at $575, it not far off from the TS3, M5 and EPIC Flash. Engineering it this is nice and weight options are nice as well. this is on par with rest of top shelf drivers, may 5% more. Just IMO

Also as a veteran I had no idea till recently PXG gives military both active and veteran great deals on his clubs.

 

For Veterans the clubs are:

- 1st Gen Driver 0811X, 0811LX & 0811XF- $295

- 1st Gen Fairway 0341 - $250

- 1st Gen Hybrid 0317- $200

- All putters - $150 YES THAT'S CORRECT, $150 for any of the $550 putters for veterans.

- Lastly Gen 1 irons are just $125 a piece making them the same price as any players Taylormade, Callaway, Ping or Titleist iron.

 

That's a great deal. Taylormade also gives 15% off using the same TroopID.com system

Does anyone have performance numbers compared to other recent drivers they could provide?

Raving PXG review, wow!!

No Gen 2 driver?

 

Was totally gassed by the end of my fitting, hit a few drivers just for fun but need to go back and do a real driver fitting. Honestly contemplating buying it blind but we will see.

 

I’m not a TM guy and the flash SZ isn’t doing it for me so far. I hit the F9 today at lunch at GG and honestly like that the best so far. Also hit TS3 which wasn’t bad. I’m currently fighting a nasty hook for whatever reason when I usually play a fade off the tee. So long story short, to be continued ...

[sfdoddsy]

Does anyone actually have numbers for the old XF versus the new one?

[mmaloney23]

what the stock headcover that comes wiht the gen 2 driver and gen 2 3 wood. is it the black and white striped on or the nice looking all black one called "lifted" prob cause letters are lifted of the cover in stitched leather? or something new for Gen 2

[mmaloney23]

Well, got some numbers from my Builder on the PXG GEN2, 0811X...…..

 

Trackman...….

Swing Speed: 106 - 108

Model: 9*

Launch: 12* (hits up 3 - 5*)

Spin: 1950

S.F. - 1.51

 

Says they are seeing better ball speed, lower spin and better launch than M5.

Says great look and sound/feel....driver of the year!

 

Ordered my PXG 0811X, 10.5* head for testing! :D

 

 

 

the shape is perfect

[jcg132]

It is a slightly different lifted one I believe. With more of a brownish color and maybe some red stitching? Someone correct me if I’m wrong

That is what I have seen too. More of a reddish brown color.

That's a good description. I don't like the color at all, the original all black stitched looks much better to me. I'm using my old one for sure, the new one is on the garage shelf.

How flat is the flat setting on the neck?

 

Found the answer - Can be up to 3* flat, and has 8 positions.

Never look at the total distance number.

[MizunoMade]

I cant decide if I should go PXG or Mizuno st190. Both look so god but the pxg edges the looks with the matt color and with the shape that reminds me of Nika vapor fly pro and that is my favourite driver shape ever. But I am a Mizuno fanboy since the 90’s when I started. So difficult!

 

How are you guys getting along with the x and xf regarding to spin? I am a 105-108 mph ss at avereage.

[kylesilk]

How does an XF 9 degree with EF white sound? Winder how this would compare to a G400 max setup

[Deuce78]

Birdie Bob, what are you getting?

 

MizunoMade, mizuno will be there, pxg is better looking, and we know feel is top notch. If you need forgiveness and low spin, with a more squashed round profile, XF with lower loft.

If you want very low spin and workability in a sexy pear shape, X.
