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.

I may be able to justify the outlandish price with all of the post drive one-liners.

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?

People love to pat themselves on the back for being too cool to like something.

Darkness is the closet I’ll be sleeping in under my coat rack when she sees the PXG BILL. The only acceptable golf related Bill in my house is Bill Murray, and mostly for The Life Aquatic!!!
