PXG Black Ops 0311 Tour-1

Elite for a low-spin head, and the defining trait - what really separates the Tour-1 is not the low spin but the forgiveness, with better left-right dispersion at 100 mph than all but two drivers, both among the most forgiving in golf. Slightly less all-round forgiving than the larger standard model, but exceptional for its low-spin class.

A low-spin distance machine - the lowest-spinning driver PXG has ever made, spinning about 20% less than the standard Black Ops (around 400 rpm less at 100 mph), with a low-launch, low-spin penetrating flight and strong ball speed for high-speed players. Maximum distance for the fast swinger.

A genuine players' tool - more focused on control, explosiveness and steerability than the standard, in a compact head, with three Precision Weighting ports for anti-slice or anti-hook bias. Workable for a good ball-striker.

Solid and precise - the feel of impact is as solid as the sound, with the incredibly thin face feeling very stout and clear, precise feedback through the hands. Among the best of 2024.

A highlight, shared with the standard - a really satisfying audio in that lovely middle ground of lively without being harsh, a strong, mid-pitch, staccato, punchy crack. One of 2024's best-sounding drivers.

Compact and aggressive - a much smaller footprint and a more rounded, less stretched shape, a tour-inspired pear shape with a taller face and curved crown for an aggressive look. A sharp players' profile, if the compact shape divides opinion.
