Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel85
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice or have bigger mishit tendencies and want the most forgiving, straightest, easiest-to-align PXG driver with elite ball speed.
You want to work the ball, prefer a compact head, or chase the lowest spin - the more compact, lower-spinning standard 0311 Gen6 suits you better.
Pros
- The most forgiving PXG driver by a reasonable amount - MOI above 5,500, stable on both axes, with dispersion 25% smaller than the Gen5
- A genuine fairway-finding machine - even slight mishits that would drift into the rough hold their line
- Some of the best ball speeds in the industry, with ~150 rpm less spin and ~9 yards more than the XF Gen5
- A friendly, super-square address profile that's easy to align, with a pleasing Ti412 'zip'
Cons
- Built for stability and straightness over workability - the bigger, symmetrical head resists shaping
- Launches a touch higher and spins ~200 rpm more than the standard 0311 Gen6
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentPXG's most forgiving driver - with a stated MOI above 5,500, the most forgiving of PXG's offerings by a reasonable amount, and dispersion 25% smaller than the Gen5. More stable on both the horizontal and vertical axis than the standard, for a smaller dispersion pattern. A genuine fairway-finder.
Distance
StrongExcellent for a max-forgiveness head - spin down about 150 rpm and ball speed up, for a 9-yard distance gain over the XF Gen5 from the new Ti412 face, with some of the best ball speeds in the industry from the high-MOI head. Long and consistent, just behind the lower-spinning standard.
Workability
FairStability over shaping - designed for stability and straightness versus workability, with a bigger front-to-back, symmetrical footprint. The wider head resists working the ball more than the compact standard.
Feel
ExcellentLively and premium - the new Ti412 face gives a pleasing zip to the hit, with high-strength, flexible material for fast face deflection, an energetic, solid impact. A fast, satisfying sensation.
Sound
ExcellentSatisfying, shared with the Gen6 line - a satisfying staccato impact sound that's mid-pitch and robust, with perfect strikes adding a slight metallic overtone, plus a pleasing zip from the Ti412 face. A premium note.
Looks at address
ExcellentFriendly and clean - it sits up nicely at address and looks super friendly and forgiving, sitting super square to the target line, with a flatter, more symmetrical crown. Confidence-inspiring, if a touch larger than the standard's tear-drop.
