PXG 0811X GEN 2 METAL WOODS REVIEW

What Makes the PXG 0811x Gen 2 Stand Out From The Crowd?

Our PXG 0811x Gen 2 driver review explores what makes it different from the rest. All the heads feature a Variable Face Technology to increase ball speed on miss hits, and also a honeycomb TPE insert. The lightweight material fine-tunes the sound and feel but does it without adding too much weight to the clubhead. There are two drivers in the line. The O811x is a low spin design, where the 0811XF is designed for extra forgiveness. Plus there are matching fairway woods and hybrids. Our review of the PXG 0811x Gen 2 showed that it has a deeper face, and is a slightly squatter model from front to back. The X features a weight-forward design for low spin and ball speed. There are 9 interchangeable weights so shot shape and trajectory can really be influenced, with weight ports in the front and back of the head, plus towards the heel to add some draw bias.

The XF is longer head front to back. The XF features weight further back and boasts the highest overall MOI on the market, right at the 5900 R&A limit, and over 10,000 MOI when you include the sole to crown MOI. The only driver comparable for forgiveness is the Ping G400 Max, but this features a lower centre of gravity. Super forgiving, and relatively low spin, who wouldn’t want that? Fairways and hybrids feature the same technology but use a steel construction rather than titanium. The fairway head is a touch on the small side, but is easy to hit, while PXG has hit a home run with their third hybrid in a row. In our opinion, we believe it has a great combination of head shape, size, ease of use, and adjustability.
