New PXG prototype driver

[snagy2000]

Mustang with double bend (face balanced). I normally play the Ping Cadence TR Tomcat C and they are similar in design. I almost went with Mini-Gunboat, it's a very stable and great putter for a mid-mallet, but I just like the look of smaller profile putters.

First round review of the driver I was fit for at PXG HQ in Scottsdale.

 

PXG 0811x 10.5 Tensei Pro White 60S 45” D1. Wow! What a difference on my local course and know where I hit it. Coming from a self fit TM M6 GD AD DI 6s 45” D2.

 

This driver just feels so dang good using a Kirkland 4 piece and Snell MTB-X. It’s better than any hotmelted head I have ever used. My wife rode with me and kept saying how different it sounds. With the Pro White shaft, and the X head, it is so low spin it just ran out 20 plus yards of my normal drives. Hit about about 10% more fairways and gained serious distance. At least 1-2 clubs less into greens.

 

Yes, I was properly fit, but man this driver is money! Great purchase through the Hero’s program and I have found a big stick that made an impact on my scores. Shot 72 mostly because this new driver and partly because the new Gen2 Gunboat putter I got also.

 

Did I say this driver feels crazy good...

Heading out for my first round with my 0811XF in the morning. Hit it on the range the other day-still need to dial it in. Surprisingly I also have a Gunboat on the way. The $95 heroes price was impossible to pass up, especially after watching Johnny’s latest interview w BP. I have even more respect for him than I did before.

Does anyone know what swing weight the 3w’s are?

Have a review after taking it out a few weeks?

[Morry]

any comments on spin with XF

finding it 'too low' on spin for me - even with 12* loft

I’m testing again on 8 August, looking forward to this as I have been fit into the 10.5 X but this test will be outside so I can really see the flight - if it is similar to the TS3 with the stock Tensei blue then I’m keen to put this in the bag with my gen1 0311Ts

[Deuce78]

I recently got a gen 2 driver, 0811x. Its definitely longer on average than my LST. Wondering if others are having success with the 0811x?

[Big Ben]

I have the Gen 2 0811 paired with a VA Composites Drago and it’s excellent. Nice high launch with mid spin. It’s the best feeling/sounding driver around. Definitely spins more than the 0811x.

I am 4 rounds into my fitted Gen2 0811x 9* Tensei Pro White. Jacked it up 1.5 degree because the X is so low spin and the Pro White is low launch and that helped. All I see is a nice fade that knuckles out there. Very low spin and just the best feeling driver on the market. Came from a TM M6 driver BTW.

 

Hands down it is the best feeling driver on the market (if you like a hotmelted thud feel).

 

My bag is slowly filling up with PXG due to the Hero’s program.

I’m loving the Gen 2 0811XF. Consistent fade, longer than my M1 and feels and sounds great. The Tensei Pro Blue shaft works well for me. Couldn’t be more happy.

[Deuce78]

The 0811x on the range is an entire green longer than my gamer. Not sure if it's the head or shaft difference. For the first time in forever, I can hit the ball low enough for some run out...and I play it at minus 1.5. Tensei white 70tx in pxg. T1100 in my other driver....

[Big Ben]

I think this driver range is excellent. For the peeps who like a nice hot thud these are just the ticket.

[snagy2000]

Any playing the 2W? If so, what shaft are you playing?

[cma8516]

im extremely happy with my 0811X....i've been playing with an AD VR 7S from my fitting, i was between S and X but for some reason the upcharge was even more for the X. The feeling off the head is amazing and i havent come close to finding that with any other head out there. I recently was able to get a deal on a 7X and the performance is even better so i can stress enough how important it is to make sure your fit into the best shaft for you, with the S i felt like i was getting a little higher ball flight then what i like and a little more spin. Going into the X i immediately noticed my ball flight down where i wanted it giving me more roll and more distance.

[golfboy123]

Looks good 2 me!

[Morry]

Ball speed just isn’t there yet

Great otherwise

[Deuce78]

I've heard that but I actually found mine longer than my g410 LST and m5 on the course. Same shaft and loft. I never jumped on a trackman or anything but the 0811x is 100% longer testing on course in my experience.

[snagy2000]

False! There was a very good test run earlier this year which showed the X was .5 mph and the XF was .7 slower than the Epic Sub Zero, which was rated as the top driver by this testing company. Overall, most drivers today are + -1 mile per hour. There's so many other factors that go into ball speed that you can't just single out a drivers head as the reason for less yardage.

[Morry]

It just isn't

That's why it is never claimed to be super fast and why it struggles for adoption or fitting recommendations

Watch for them to tweak it I would say. Much better than last one. Lowered spin to get performance more than speed though.

Bet next iteration will be very competitive. We'll see

[TheMoneyShot]

Bump. Does anyone know if the deal is still going on?

[Patrik1982]

Reviving this thread.

 

I've been between std and low spin driver, recently played both m3 and m4 (and many, many others). For me the x is too low while xf is perfect. Performance as good as anything. Looks and sound superb! Best looking driver ever imo. Think I found the last piece in my forever (3 y) set.

[Jungleland]

Fantastic deal at $295 as well. It’s a solid driver, last 10 rounds my worst FIR with it was 71%. The Sim Max and Mavrik I’ve hit were slightly longer but the 0811xf is automatic when it comes to accuracy.
