Spotted: PXG 0811XF Driver
This story was updated February 14 with in-hand photos of PXG’s 0811XF driver we captured at the Genesis Open, where Charles Howell III was testing the driver on the range.
—
There’s a new PXG driver on the USGA’s Conforming Club List called the 0811XF. While the driver is said to be just a prototype for now, it may indicate the direction the company is headed with its next line of metal woods.
Here’s why: In September PXG launched its 0311XF irons, which target the needs of higher-handicap golfers as the largest and most forgiving set in the company’s 0311 iron line. The 0811XF driver not only shares a similar name, but seems to target a similar audience.
The black-and-white USGA photo of the 0811XF driver shows a head equipped with just six screws, the fewest we’ve seen in a PXG driver. The screws are positioned on the rear and heel portions of its sole, a placement that indicates a forgiveness-first design that can add draw bias.
0811X
The USGA’s Conforming Club List also includes several other unreleased drivers from PXG, including the 0811X that’s said to be lower spinning than the original 0811 and used by several PGA Tour players. There’s also the 0811LX. Both drivers offer forward, rearward, toe-ward and heel-ward weight placement options.
0811LX
PXG last released a new driver to the public two years ago with its 0811, which received a Gold Medal in our 2016 Gear Trials: Best Driver Club List and is currently the only PXG driver on the market.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.
From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored. One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs. They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done. This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did. But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world. I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.
Full set $1,600, or…
…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…
Driver: $70
Fairway: $250
Irons: $1,100
Wedges: $100
Putter: $350″
To check out the full listing in our BST forum, head through the link: Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs
This is the most impressive current listing from the GolfWRX BST, and if you are curious about the rules to participate in the BST Forum you can check them out here: GolfWRX BST Rules

Save your money and buy a used 983K or 510TP….as the stats show, no distance gain since 2003.

A well struck drive with my Grafalloy X Prolite and 983
used to go 350 yds when smashed, I don’t get that with the new M1.

I agree- long and low spinning and a 75 gram cool shaft.

They might well be worth the price and perform well but because they are out of my price range I will never even try them. Kinda like I will not be test driving a Ferrari anytime soon either.

For the low price of $800 you too can have mediocre ball speed and high spin rates!

Yeah, I wasn’t impressed with the alleged star studded PXG hybrid line. I had the opportunity to hit a 19 degree version up against my Titleist 915H 2hy, and my club absolutely outperformed it. Both clubs had the Aldila Black 85H 2.8 shafts and the 915 felt noticeably more solid, whereas the PXG had a “ting” hollow feel with very little “thump” at impact. PXG’s face stands a little taller and that did not appeal to me either. Of the PXG shots hit well, they did not compare to the well struck shots of my 915.
Thanks, but no thanks!

PXG has some fantastic irons with their unique polymer filling. They might be onto something there. But with drivers? Not so much, same stuff as other brands. Anyway great company!
