We are seeing a lot of new equipment this week at the RSM Classic, and PXG is deep into the mix with four new driver heads.
We talked to Eric Cole, who was testing one of the drivers. He mentioned each head spins a little differently and he was playing a mid-spin model.
“It’s a lot more forgiving, and faster than the one I was using. There’s 4 different heads for us out here, but I’m playing the one that’s middle of the road (spin wise). They all have glossy crowns, and I think carbon fiber. The head profile is large at address, and it’s really forgiving.”
PXG 0311 Black Ops “Tour-1”
Each one of the heads looks to have different carbon fiber panels as well as removable weight combinations. The driver labeled “Tour-1” on the hosel looks to have two moveable weights closer to the face as well as a carbon fiber panel in the middle of the sole. There is also a carbon fiber crown and a moveable weight at the very back of the driver.
Triple weights will allow a golfer to dial in some spin, flight bias, and launch I would think. Move two heavier weights to the front sole and you should have ultra-low spin and launch, while moving a heavy weight back should offer more forgiveness. This model looks to have a slightly more compact shape and is shorter from face to back.
PXG 0311 Black Ops “Tour-3”
The overall shape of the “Tour-3” looks pretty similar; the head might be slightly longer from face to back than the “Tour-1.” This model could have a slightly deeper face as well, but the biggest difference is the lack of visible carbon fiber on the head. The sole looks to have a seamless titanium back, but still has the rear weight, and the crown is solid gloss black as well. Now there could be carbon under that paint, but the other three models show off the carbon panels.
PXG isn’t giving us the details on any of these drivers yet, but it will be interesting to hear how this head performs differently than the one with carbon.
PXG 0311 Black Ops “B Serial” & “C Serial”
The final two driver heads don’t have any markings on the hosel, other than the 9 degrees of loft, but they have similar serial numbers that just end with different letters. Both heads look to have a larger footprint from address and are much more stretched from face to back.
PXG is sticking with the three movable weights but has moved the front weights out towards the edge of the driver and the rear down to the sole. Pushing these weights to the perimeter usually means they are upping the MOI and stability for straighter ball flight while still offering fitters a lot of adjustability. The faces look to be shallower and PXG brought the carbon panels back to the sole and the crown.
Looking at these two heads, I can’t really see any cosmetic differences, but under the hood could be where the secret sauce is.

Three Swing Challenge: Testing the Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks A+ grind
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Blank-1014-x-768.png)
The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”

Just a suggestion to tap into the senior market. I use a Ping HL G430 since it has a lighter shaft and head. It gives me a faster swing speed and produces “higher launch “ I have gen 6 irons but won’t make the switch to woods until I see comparable wood options. My guess is that other seniors are of the same mindset
