Where it wins
- Feel84
- Sound84
- Looks82
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You miss the middle often and want the biggest, steadiest, easiest-launching head PXG made in 2021.
You want the lowest spin and most distance (the 0811 X) or a compact, workable shape.
Pros
- PXG's most forgiving driver of 2021 — a huge, high-MOI head
- An easy, high launch with real stability for a wayward striker
- A lovely damped feel and sound, plus full adjustability
Cons
- Gives up a few yards to the low-spin X — forgiveness over distance
- A big head and a divisive silver crown won't suit all
- Premium price and five seasons old
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe steadiest head PXG built that year — the biggest in the line, with an MOI pushing right up against the legal ceiling.
Distance
SolidFast, if not the longest — a high, easy flight that gives up a few yards to the low-spin X for more stability.
Workability
ModestA big, straight-flying head — the size and deep weighting favour stability, so it fights hard against a shaped shot.
Feel
ExcellentA really pleasant feel — a hidden core mutes the vibration for a clean, quality strike even off-centre.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, gratifying note at impact — that hidden core lends it a solid, refined edge.
Looks at address
ExcellentThe largest head in the range, topped by a polarising silver, metal-flecked crown — striking and out of the ordinary at address.
