    Preferred Shaft Flex

    Recommendations for players who CONSISTENTLY hit their 7-iron:

    • Ladies: Less than 120 yards.
    • Senior: 120-135 yards.
    • Regular: 135-155 yards. Most common flex.
    • Stiff: 155-175 yards.
    • Extra Stiff: 175 yards or more.

    Beginning golfers who are not in the Ladies or Senior shaft flex category should select Regular Flex Shafts.

    Preferred Shaft Material

    GRAPHITE shafts are vibration-dampening, lightweight options. They produce a softer feel, a higher launch, and more speed for improved distance.

    STEEL shafts are designed to maximize consistency and provide a stable feel for stronger players. Steel shafts are generally heavier than graphite and are available in a variety of weights and stiffness profiles to help optimize your launch conditions.

    Preferred Grip Size

    Measure your hand, crease to finger tip.

    • Undersize: less than 6.5"
    • Standard: 6.5" to 8"
    • Midsize: 8" to 9"
    • Oversize: more than 9"

    Wedge Loft & Bounce Selection

    BP-GRIND (High Bounce & Max Forgiveness)

    • Best for: Soft/lush conditions, bunkers, or steep swing paths.
    • Features: High toe profile, full-face grooves, and a wider sole.

    S-GRIND (Moderate Bounce & Versatility)

    • Best for: All-around playability across standard conditions.
    • Features: Classic shape and a traditional tapered sole for square or open shots.

    C-GRIND (Low Bounce & Shotmaking Control)

    • Best for: Firm turf, tight lies, and skilled players making creative greenside shots.
    • Features: Classic shape, narrow sole, and aggressive heel-to-toe taper.

    • Faster Ball Speeds
    • Four Versatile Models to Suit All Players

    Frequency Tuned Face

    Engineered to vibrate in sync with the precise moment of ball compression, amplifying energy transfer and producing faster ball speeds. The result — more efficient strikes, longer drives, and that unmistakable PXG sound.

    Adjustable Weights

    Dial In Your Flight: Each Lightning Driver features PXG’s advanced Precision Weighting Technology, allowing fitters to reposition mass for tailored launch, spin, and shot-shape bias. With interchangeable weights from 2.5 g to 20 g, golfers can fine-tune feel and direction with precision.

    Spined Sole Design

    Stability That Speeds Up: A reinforced Spined Sole stiffens unwanted frequencies through the base of the driver, optimizing energy return and keeping every gram working toward higher ball speed. The result is cleaner vibration, faster energy release, and PXG’s signature explosive feel. 

    More Carbon Where It Counts

    Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio: A thin-wall carbon fiber crown and sole enable precise mass placement for optimized CG and launch conditions. Up to 84% more carbon in the Lightning chassis produces higher MOI, improved stability, and maximum forgiveness across all four head designs. 

    Proprietary Face Structure

    Tuned for Precision and Power: Our proprietary face curvature fine-tunes directional performance to maintain optimal shot shape and control, even on off-center hits. 

    Engineered for Exceptional Adjustability

    Fine-Tune Your Trajectory: PXG Lightning Drivers feature a refined multi-port weight system for precise CG manipulation and shot bias tuning. By redistributing up to 20 grams of mass across heel, toe, and rear positions, fitters can optimize launch, spin, and direction – no tradeoffs.

    *Maximum back weight of 17.5g on Max 10K+

    Ride the Lightning

    "Picked up the Lightning Max 10K with the Denali Frost Red 50 in a 9-degree loft. I have the 20g weight in the rear, 17. 5g in the heel, and the 7. 5g weight in the toe. This works great for me and gives me a solid strike each time. Great driver with a tremendous sound. PXG for the win here."

    W. S. (5/5)

    Great driver

    "I’m getting back into golf after about 18 years of not play. Keep in mind I wasn’t very good when I did play. This driver is very forgiving and easy to hit. It actually gives me confidence in my drive for the most part. 100 percent I recommend this driver to everyone. I also shorten the shaft by 1” that I also believe helps."

    DAVID A. (5/5)

    This is my third set

    "This is my third set and I love this current version even better than the previous sets. The setup, the way the clubs lie and the feel is better. I went with steel shafts this time over the graphite and really like the weight and how they feel. I went with a hybrid 7 iron this time with the 11 wood, 7 wood and 4 wood. Also went with the new driver. Can’t be happier. This driver beats my TaylorMade driver hands down. My fitter (Craig) was spot on with his recommendations for the specs on these new clubs. People always ask me how I like PXG clubs and I tell them that they are the best clubs I have ever had. Keep up the good work."

    Dan J. (5/5)

    Love it. Took a bit

    "Love it. Took a bit of a leap with the shaft (I got fitted at PXG for the prior generation driver, so I had some idea). This club sounds better and is more forgiving. The former is important, but the latter is vital. I like to explore the entire club face when I tee it up. Great club. The price reduction is compelling."

    Paul F. (5/5)

    Hello everyone, I have had

    "Hello everyone, I have had three previous models of PXG drivers with no positive results. Was asked to give the Lightning a try and was immediately impressed. Since purchasing, distance improved by 15 yards and accuracy unbelievable! Thanks to Marcus in Detroit for the fitting. Michael"

    Great driver. Mark Lahnala my

    "Great driver. Mark Lahnala my PXG Professional matched the correct driver head with the perfect shaft for my swing. The results can not be denied. Longer distance with a tighter dispersion pattern. Even on an off center hit the results are remarkable. I have been an avid golfer for over 60 years. This Lightning driver is truly the best driver I have ever played with and being the club junkie that I am that is saying something!!!!!"

    Gary S. (5/5)

    I have hit the Krank

    "I have hit the Krank Driver with Newton shafts for the last two years. Absolutely love the setup. Went to PXG and bought the Lightning Driver. Just as accurate and even longer by 13 yards!"

    Mike H. (5/5)

    It’s taken a bit to

    "It’s taken a bit to get used to. I’m used to playing a smaller head shape but it’s very forgiving. I need that. I may need to switch shafts. This one seems too light at times."

    Eddie M. (4/5)

    initial thoughts

    "I haven't been able to play much with my new PXGs, but I have to say that I am impressed so far. The lightning Max driver has added 20-30 yards to my drives. That's a substantial improvement. Looking forward to being able to play more."

    CHRISTOPHER W. (5/5)

    Excellent addition

    "Added this club after purchasing my Gen 8 clubs 4-G. Fitting was nothing but exceptional, club arrived earlier than expected. Performance was better than anticipated on the course and it was extremely easy going from my former driver (Taylormade). Distance gained was better than the fitting showed and adjusting has been flawless. If anyone is thinking about a new driver, you must try this club. You will not be disappointed. Thank you PXG!"
