Backed by our industry-leading engineering and presented with a sleek new look,\u00a0GEN5 Drivers<\/a>\u00a0are available in two action-packed models. Complete with revolutionary technology, these drivers are designed for\u00a0ultra-high MOI (Moment of Inertia)<\/a>\u00a0which makes them our most forgiving drivers – ever. Thanks to unrelenting research, GEN5 Drivers are primed and ready for you to smoke it straight down the middle and right past your buddies. So, do you make a move on the latest and greatest GEN5 Driver technology, or swing into the\u00a0tried-and-true GEN4<\/a>? Read on to find out\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT GEN5 DRIVER TECHNOLOGY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

INTRODUCING A NEW SUPPORTED WEIGHT STRUCTURE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Through rigorous modal analysis testing, PXG designed an innovative supported weight structure that delivers unbelievable sound and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FEATURING VARIABLE FACE DESIGN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The variable face thickness features topographic geometries that help reduce mass and support maximum ball speeds and increase durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEBUTING A FULL AV CARBON FIBER CROWN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This lightweight material saves mass in the crown, allowing it to be redistributed low and to the perimeter of the clubhead for optimal CG and added forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DO GEN5 DRIVERS STACK UP AGAINST GEN4 DRIVERS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you swing a PXG Driver, rest assuredrest assured that no corners were cut in the development of our proprietary technology, nothing held back in design, and no materials left untested. This is quite simply engineering at its finest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we say we won\u2019t launch a club unless it significantly outperforms<\/a> what\u2019s out there in the market, we mean it \u2013 but oh boy, do we make it hard to beat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf laboratories verified that PXG GEN4 X & XF Drivers are longer and more forgiving than Taylormade\u00ae Sim2 and Sim2 Max Drivers. Based on third-party tests comparing 0811 X GEN4 and Sim2 Drivers, and 0811 XF GEN4 and Sim2 Max Drivers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MULTIPLE MODELS TO SUITE YOUR SWING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both GEN5 and GEN4 Drivers offer multiple head types \u2013 each designed to enhance your performance where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GEN5 OR GEN4, WHICH DRIVER IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to selecting a driver there are a few considerations for you to weigh in order to figure out what\u2019s most important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a PXG fitting, your fitter will track your swing data to showcase your performance as you test various models, loft, shaft, and more. And, while your swing data will show your ball flight, distance, and dispersion, our PXG Fitting Specialists also note that two other key aspects often play into the final buying decision \u2026 price and the overall look of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s talk about price*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
