PXG 0211 Z
Our take: The 0211 Z driver is built for the weekend warrior — they might not play a ton, but when they do, they want the reliability that PXG offers. This driver is sold in conjunction with the 0211 Z 10-piece set and will have you sending missiles down the fairways, no matter how infrequently you play.
PXG 0811 X
Our take: The 0811 X driver offers the optimal balance between power and forgiveness, and the look is as sleek as they come. “A clean look at address is what I’m going for with my driver, and this delivers,” one tester said.
PXG 0811 XF
Our take: If hitting the center of the clubface isn’t your forte, worry not — the 0811 XF is built with less-than-perfect strikes in mind. The larger head at address will build your confidence as you address the ball, and that bravado will continue to soar when you see how far you can smash this driver down the fairways.
PXG 0811 XT
Our take: The 0811 XT is PXG’s tour-inspired model of their Gen4 line and is built for players with high swing speeds who find the center of the face often. This driver is made with low handicappers in mind, and for those who want to maximize performance without worrying about repeated mishits.
