Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel85
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You swing above 105mph, strike it well, and want the fastest, lowest-spin, most workable PXG of its year.
Your speed or strike is inconsistent, or you slice it — the X or XF forgives far more.
Pros
- The fastest, lowest-spinning driver of PXG's 2021 line for a strong swing
- A compact, workable tour head with a lovely damped feel
- Fully adjustable — three weight ports, loft and length
Cons
- The least forgiving PXG — a miss is punished, and it wants 105mph-plus
- A slightly open, tour look that suits better players only
- Premium price and five seasons old
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairThe least forgiving PXG of its year — a small, tour-shaped head that punishes a strike away from the centre.
Distance
StrongThe fastest of the Gen4 line — a compact, aerodynamic, ultra-low-spin head that bombs it for a strong swing.
Workability
StrongA genuine better-player's driver — the compact, low-profile head bends shots easily and suits someone who can flight it at will.
Feel
ExcellentA really nice, muted strike — a hidden insert kills the vibration for a clean, dense hit off the middle.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, refined note at impact — that hidden insert lending a solid, upmarket character.
Looks at address
ExcellentAs tour as a head comes to look at — a small, teardrop profile with a silver alignment mark, set fractionally open to the line.
