PXG

There is no one consistent miss with a driver for all players. Similarly, plenty of golfers fight the lefts and the rights with their fairway woods. That’s why this model uses a trio of sole weights from 2½ to 20 grams to counteract the weak fade or the hard hook. Position the heavy weight in the heel for a draw or in the toe to rein in your snapperdoodle or in the front position to flight the ball lower with less spin. Of course, these heads aren’t just about mitigating weaknesses in launch, direction or spin. They get the basics right, too, including plenty of firepower in the face and plenty of assistance in the sole. The fast-flexing, high-strength steel-alloy face features a variable-thickness pattern for increased ball speeds. On the bottom, a centre ridge running from front to back helps lower the centre of gravity for easier launch with less spin. It also neatly smooths the club’s ride through the turf across rough, hardpan and sand, as well as fairway downslopes and sidehills. On top, a carbon-fibre central panel reduces weight where it’s not needed. The surrounding steel reinforces the crown to make the face flex better while adding stability on heel and toe mis-hits.
