PXG

What it does: The three drivers in the family accommodate a range of player types. The shallow-face XT maximises clubhead speed with an aerodynamically sleeker shape. The large-face XF helps mis-hits with a deep front-to-back frame. The X’s sloping crown lowers the centre of gravity for less spin. All benefit from a fast-flexing, weight-saving titanium alloy in the face that makes room for adjustable weight ports in the sole. Two are centred – one forward and one back – and a third is towards the heel. Moving the heaviest weight to the back adds forgiveness, moving it up the front reduces spin and in the heel enhances draw spin and makes it easier to square the face.

Why we like it: You might not be into Las Vegas Raiders colours,
but that silver patch on the crown is a special aluminium-
injected carbon composite that adds stiffness to the top while reducing weight. This helps push the CG lower so that golfers can launch the ball higher. Sandwiching the composite between the titanium heel and toe sections of the crown also stiffens the crown so that more areas propel the ball more efficiently.
