GolfSpy_APH Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/first-look/declassifying-pxg-black-ops/ I am actually a bit of a sucker for their drivers and believe they make a really solid product, even if they don't top some of the performance charts all the time. Do you have a PXG driver? Have you tried one? Would you be interested in this one?

Kenny B Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I didn't get along with PXG drivers and neither did my wife when the 0211 came out. She bought the 0211 but lost yardage vs her TM Burner (she doesn't change drivers much). I think she will be staying with her Callaway Epic Speed for quite awhile. I like my Epic Max LS, but I'll try anything!!!

Shrek74 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 My dad has a Gen5 driver, gen5 hybrid, and 0211XCOR2 irons. He hasn't hit a driver this long in a very VERY long time (he's 82 and hits it 190-200). Luckily, being a hero he gets the really nice discount. I'll be doing a fitting this spring at a PXG somewhere to check out the new Black Ops woods as well as the Gen6 and 0211XCOR2 irons. I get the discount being a son of a hero, so that's a nice benefit. Their products have gotten better and better each generation. So these will be a lot of fun to hit, since I haven't hit any since Gen4. cnosil and Rob Person 2 Quote In My Sun Mountain C-130 'merica Cart Bag: Driver: Stealth+ Rocket 3W, 13.5* turned down to 12.75*, Stiff HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX, 75g Fairway: 949x 3w, 15*, Stiff HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX, 70g Fairway: 949x 5w, 18*, Stiff HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX, 60g Hybrid: 939x 4H (21*), Stiff HZRDUS Smoke Black, 90g Irons: 101's, 5-PW, DG120 S300 Wedges: 286 @ 50*, JBFG @ 54* & 60*, DG120 S300 Putter: 002 Mid-Mallet @ 35", Super Stroke Pistol GT 2.0, Desert Camo Ball: Tour & Testing Vero X1 Technology: H4 w/ Tags, Pro L2 Rangefinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbern Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I have a Gen 4 driver and agree with @Preeway that it's good, not great. The looks of the Gen 4 driver were also a little polarizing (see photo below). I actually like the looks of it, and especially like the matte finish. It appears the new Gen 7 will have a shiny carbon top, so I'm disappointed they went away from the matte look, but I'm very interested in trying one out.

Javs Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I had a 0811x proto and loved it. I have a Gen 4 and Gen 5. However, I am playing the Callaway TD. I also currently have PXG Gen 5 3 wood and PXG 2, 4 and 5 hybrids. Also a PXG putter. I am planning on getting one of the Black Ops if it really lives up to the hype.

russtopherb Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That looks pretty darn good I'll admit. My uncle has a full bag of PXG and just loves his driver (unsure of model). Claims they're the best he's ever hit, and he's had more than a few drivers over the last 55+ years he's been golfing.

I'm 64 yrs old and I've had a bunch of drivers over the years and this one by far is the straighest I've ever hit. I normally get a new driver every 4 yrs so I will definately hit the new one...

joncoke86 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I am currently gaming the Gen 5 and really like it. I tried it next to the Stealth plus and Rogue ST LS and honestly I have been more consistent with the PXG. I really want to try the GEN6 but its hard to find places to hit these before purchase. There is a PXG retail shop in Charlotte, NC about 2ish hrs from me. I may have to go try the new ones down there soon.

vandyland Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have always been a bit against PXG because of their ads (mostly Dr. Bob yelling at me) but their irons seem to be well received by most people that play them. On the driver front, I just remember when Patrick Reed got into a PXG driver a while back and his off the tee numbers plummeted. Could have been for any number of reasons but I seemed to assume it was somewhat related to the driver. I always felt like most of the PXG-sponsored players were never playing the drivers. Luke List doesn't (Taylormade), Joel Dahmen doesn't (Ping), Henrik Norlander doesn't (Taylormade) but I think Zach Johnson does (not really my favorite driver of the golf ball). That seems odd to me and suggested maybe the drivers weren't quite up to snuff.

Hang out a little with the fitters asking questions and stuff. Grab a nice lunch. Head home. They may even waive the fitting fee for you driving down so far. With Black Ops out now, you're 2 generations back. So it might be worth a look.

I'm basically going to tell them everything down to the wedges is open for change. Let's work the best setup for my game, speed, quality of strike, etc. Whether it's a D, 3w, 5w, hybrid, 5-G or maybe a D, 4w, 7w, hybrid, 6-G. Whatever it is, I'm going to be open to whatever fits my game best from what the fitter thinks based on my hitting results. I'll take those results and figure out the clubs themselves after.

Go to the PXG site. In the menu drop down click on hero’s. That will take you to ID.ME and then verify yourself. If you qualify ID.ME will verify and then you will be directed back to the PXG site under the hero’s program. If you do order, set up an account.
