Spotted: PXG’s new Darkness driver and black 0311T irons
(Updated: March 9, 3:50 p.m.)
New golf equipment company PXG has been telling its Twitter followers, “Don’t be afraid of the dark.” Maybe now we know why.

We spotted a photo of 0311T irons with a black finish at the Valspar Championship.
Also on the range this week, we spotted James Hahn testing a new driver from PXG that reads “Darkness” on its sole.
From our photos, it appears that the driver has fewer adjustable weights than the company’s 0811 driver, which was a Gold Medal winner in our 2016 Gear Trials: Best Driver Club Test.
Unlike the 0811, which has weights surrounding the perimeter of the sole, the Darkness’ weights are concentrated on the heel and the toe of the club. The driver is listed on the USGA’s Conforming Club List, which means Hahn could put it in play this week if he wished.
See more photos of the driver below, and click here for the full gallery.

Most forgiving Players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

I’m always amused as to how these articles get almost as many shanks as likes. What’s not to like about an article showing a driver?
