PXG 0811 X & XF GEN 2 Driver Thread

Recommended Posts

Not much to add from what was already said but I’m with everyone in terms of being excited to try it out. Not far off from what I spent on my g400...but can’t beat the price of it compared to previous years models.

After seeing an Instagram post yesterday by the MGS guys on these, they moved to the top of my list for fitting.

Best performing irons for me in all three fittings last year. They’re no joke..... Well, except for the price. They’re not that much better to warrant 2-3 times what I’ve paid in the past.

So, 10 yards longer carry vs 0811X Gen1. 400 revs less spin.

109 swing speed, 1.46-1.51 smash factor (a lil under the weather!) ~9 degree launch, 1900-2100 spin, longest carry was 265 with 15 yards rollout.

Funnily enough with the  TPT swing speed went down to 106 (tho they use the changable shaft adapters, and it put the SW to D7, then had to tinker with the head weight). And the ball speeds stayed the same.

AND Its the same story with Gen1 vs Gen2 - the 109 swing is ~3/4mph slower than my Gen1 and i’ve not lost any ball speed.

Good info and I’ve heard the txg guys say that slower ss doesn’t always equate to slower ball speed or less distance if everything is optimizefoptimized

No doubt that hitting the center of the club face is a great factor!

It’s probably going to cost a fitting fee if going to one of their authorized facility like any other brand you would get fit by, but if you go on their site and schedule a fitting that is normally done with their local rep. Mine was done at TPC Potomac and they actually had their rep who covers DC area, Delaware and parts of PA and iirc NJ come down just for my fitting as they had no other one booked. The did one at the beginning of August and scheduled a second at a couple weeks later and I was only one booked and instead of canceling/rescheduling the rep came down and did the fitting and in between my booking and the fitting day they did get two other fittings(one was for a client who did an indoor fitting and wanted to double cb em his fitting outdoors). Was charged for the clubs, grips and shipping only.
their reps have a ton of shafts with them too so yeah it’s a deal 

I just had to cancel my fitting in Houston because they’re charging $150 for fittings with their reps. One does get to use the $150 toward the cost of the club, but you have to decide right after the fitting, you can’t use it later.
So, fittings are not free....

The Woodlands. Rep said if I’m a member of a club, they can do them free there. Well, not a member anywhere. Not sure why it couldn’t be done at a public driving range as all we were doing was using a CC range.

I talked to the rep here and there is no fitting fee when pxg reps do fittings. There’s a $159 fee if getting fit at PXG HQ.  It sounds like the course was charging.

The PXG reps tend to do fittings at courses that have accounts and/or big accounts.  There atenmy many public ranges that have accounts and they also tend to use mats and pxg prefers places that have grass. When I did my fitting last year at TPC Potomac with them I had a long conversation with the local rep and the regional fitter about all that. I had to drive nearly an hour to the fitting and then fight DC rush hour traffic to get home which would have been 90+ mins. The rep invited me to stay at the range and hit balls as long as I wanted to avoid having to sit in traffic.

I can reach out to PXG and see if I can help? I bought so much stuff from them that I believe they would make an exception... 🙂 PM me if you want.

Thanks. I’ve emailed the rep and he said that they have to do them where there is an account, and that the club in Houston charges them $150, so they pass it on to me. There is a club here in Louisiana, 30 miles from here, that has an account with them, so I’ve emailed the rep that members there would vouch for me and get me in for the day. Worse comes to worst, my buddy will be running the new Club Champion in New Orleans and he’ll have them, along with everything else to try.

Not sure if it’s per person, as I was the only one being fitted, but he said the club charges him $150....

Until we start seeing actual performance-testing numbers, the conversation here is about the price drop, right? An early hunch: there are some execs at Wilson that aren't thrilled right now.

They must’ve removed the space age materials from the screws to cut it down that much. 🤣

Well, I finally set-up a fitting and it won’t cost me anything. Got connected with the rep in Orlando, and she’ll fit me at Celebration on 2/6.

Your welcome. Only thing I would recommend is verify that wherever the fitting is they don’t charge pxg who then transfers the cost to the golfer as was mentioned by pmookie

I called their customer service line, and they looked-up the rep for the areas I was going be for work. I then called the rep and set everything up through her. PXG is VERY helpful.
