New PXG Driver release soon???


Recommended Posts

I have a set of Gen2"s sitting in the cart that is quoting 4 to 6 week build time. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, and not 100% sure if I will. I have a set of Forged Tec on the way, I'll probably wait and see how they do.

In other news my proto has moved on to the Final Inspection stage! So I've got that gong for me

Thanks, I hope you're right! I'm sure I would not be let down and each time I see that cart I give it deep thought. Maybe a 6 week build would be enough time for the honeymoon period to wear off the Forged Tec!!

I ordered on the 8th. Was given a May 23rd build date. 3 hours later it went to June 7th and it’s still June 7th. I was told on the phone it would be before the 23rd. Not sure how PXG runs their business but it’s not sounding like first in first out

I've played 3 rounds with my Proto X and I'm very encouraged by the early results. 2 rounds over the weekend were after 6 inches of rain on Friday and today's round was on a much drier course. I actually got to spend some time today on the range prior to playing dialing it in unlike my first 2 rounds where I just pulled it out of the bag and played. The sound of the Proto is great, you'll know when you miss, but seems to be launching higher then my Gen 2 X. Gen 2 is 10.5 opened to 9, both have identical shafts in them. On a couple holes, I was 15 to 20 yards further down then I normally am with my Gen 2. Although, the Proto X doesn't seem to be as forgiving on mishits resulting in shorter shots than the Gen 2 produces on mishits. I'm playing 5 more times through Monday so I should be able to adjust the hosel, 8 different setting choices is wonderful, and dial it in exactly where I want it. Will update next week sometime.

Yeah I will never understand their orders and how it works. I just got the email that my Driver shipped and should be here Friday by the end of the day. I was wrong and I ordered it Wednesday the 13th (not the 11th) so it's in line with the 7-10 buisness days they're quoting. But not sure how mine is coming in before others who ordered sooner. Maybe they got a custom shaft upgrade or something that wasn't in stock. I made sure to ask when I ordered over the phone if they had the pieces I wanted in stock.

If it comes in Friday I should be able to use it over the weekend and will let people know my thoughts. Really hoping it performs better than the Gen 2 and similar to what people are finding. If it launches higher and farther while keeping the tight dispersion it may be in the bag for a long time. If not it may be back in Scottsdale soon...

Finally got to hit the Proto driver today. Our PXG rep was onsite with the full compliment of products. He knows my swing pretty well and had it ready when I got there. 10.5 head (15 grams in the rear position) with the real Ventus Blue shaft. For me, the proto driver fits me much better than the Gen 2. As much as I wanted to, I never could pull the trigger on the gen 2. One example of my brain winning over my heart.

Dispersion was noticeably tighter than my current Sim Max. Trajectory was very similar. The Sim might be a few yards longer on my top 5% of swings. The PXG was much better on the less than perfect swings.

Needless to say, it was an expensive afternoon. To add insult to injury, I threw in a 22deg hybrid.

the rep did say build times are 7 to 10 day. Due to social distancing, they had to reduce their number of build stations.

So this was the Proto +. I guess that is comparable to the Sim Max. Good stuff. I have a Gen2, for the second time, and I got the same results as last time. Need more forgiveness and just doesn’t seem to get out there.

Looking forward to these reviews.

My Proto X+ showed up today. Unfortunately has a small paint chip in the crown where the carbon fiber transitions to the matte paint. Small but it’s on the crown so it’s noticeable at address. Was happy it came fairly quickly but bummed about the chip. Will it affect playability? Nah. But a bummer when you spend good money on a club

I did ask my PXG rep today about the possibility of gen 3 / proto fairway and hybrids. He didn’t really have any information. Sounds like the original plan was for a 2021 release. However, it sounds like they are really impressed with the proto sales.

 

Are the tour guys playing gen 3 / proto fairways? One the clubs make it that far, I would guess retail isn’t that far away.

So I ordered my Proto X+ on May 3rd. Shipping label was created last Thursaday on May 14th and departed Phoenix on Friday the 15th. I live in Albuquerque so I was figuring either Monday the 18th or yesterday for delivery.

FedEx didn’t update the tracking history until yesterday and the club was in Georgia. It is now in Missouri making the slow trek across the country again. In theory it will be at my door Friday one week after leaving Phoenix on what should have been a 6-7 hour drive to New Mexico. First world problems but I was looking forward to using it tomorrow.

Except it was never scanned in Memphis. Phoenix to the Atlanta area and now outside Columbia, MO. My irons I ordered showed up in three days from the label being printed. Phoenix straight to Albuquerque. Obviously this is a FedEx issue, not PXG.

Like I said, first world problems. At least I am playing golf tomorrow and I have a Sim to use.

trying to figure out the Proto. One is for descending or level strokes and the other is for a positive attack angle. The positive attack angle is higher lofted and mid spin. Shouldn't it be lower lofted and lower spin? Asking because i do not know.
