PXG are getting a reputation as a great players' club here in the UK, with great quality. I guess brand heritage means a lot to a lot of golfers, but if you have the quality you can break through - just look what TaylorMade did almost overnight around 1980. Love to see a dispersion test on these two clubs when your sim is up and running. Love the on-course tests!
I bought the XF version of this driver last summer and have been very impressed. My brother in law and I played a few rounds together after I bought it and it just so happens he was in the market for a driver also. He had been almost ready to pull the trigger on a Sim 2 because he said it was a good 20 yards better than his driver. He used my driver on several holes and was impressed. So much so he got fitted and ended up with the exact same club the next time we played. The only difference was the grip. I didn’t hit them both but he did and said the distance was pretty close but dispersion and price were what sold him on the PXG.
I just got fitted for the PXG 0811x this week. My Cobra SpeedZone was just as long, but the dispersion was night-and-day for me with the PXG. The fitting experience was also head-and-shoulders above my previous fittings. I will say the shaft and settings have to come into play, too. I tried 3 different shafts but honestly all 3 were far better than what I have gotten out of the Cobra, a Callaway Mavrik, and the older Titleist TS3 that I have owned or tried over the past 3 years. Nit-picky note, but I am pretty sure the PXG only changes 1 or 1.5* so I am going to guess you actually had the PXG at 10*. That probably doesn't make a HUGE difference, but could explain why you thought the PXG was going a little higher. Great review - especially since it makes me feel better about my purchase!
Having playing the PXG for my last two rounds I really love the feel and sound. Have been using Ping G425. And I feel my bad hits with the pxg are better then the ping so far.
I' be played my PXG 0811X for 4 rounds. Last 2 rounds, I shot 81 for 2nd low net (68) in my club tourney. Today, made 7 straight pars to start my round... First time ever. Luv my PXG.
Great video. Keep up the good work. Bought a Sim2 at TM fitting event early last summer. Started great then struggled. Bought a fitted XF at half the cost with higher loft 2 months later. For me the Sim2 is longer, but not as consistent. The XF is very forgiving for me, but not as long. Loft, shaft & bad swings so I carry both to see who shows up on a given day.
As a Lydia Ko fan, I have been thinking of the PXG but I have just bought the sim 2. Was fitted with the Titleist 2 and the Sim 2. Titleist was the more accurate but I lost 50 yards on my old R7 using it. With the Sim 2 gained another 60 yards ( and it was ahead of the R7) using Bridgestone soft feel balls. The pro pointed out my smash factor was only 1.44, so he got a Bridgestone E12 ( I think) and I used that, immediately the smash factor jumped up to 1.49 and stayed there. Maybe worthwhile testing a few balls out. Not the top of the range but the lesser quality balls. Good video again Ta muchly
I just got the pxg 0811 xf gen 4 and after getting fitted and everything dialed in I have to say I absolutely love it! I love the feel the sound everything about it!!!! Best thing is now that it’s been out for a while pxg had it on sale and I picked it up for $249 shipped. Worth every penny and then some. Great video keep up the good work I’m new to your channel but a new fan!!!
I had wanted to try PXG and when they went on sale for under $300 I had to give it a try. I've played the XF for almost a year and it's one of the best if not the best driver I've ever played. I know that's an overused statement but, it is really good. I'm 70 and went with the XF for a little bit of added forgiveness but, it's still plenty long. I had to do an online fitting since there is no PXG fitting near me but, the gentleman took over an hour to fit me the best he could. Ended up with 10.5 w/ the Diamana 60 Limited and it's working well. I am going to visit my local Pro shop over the winter to see if I can gain anything with a different shaft. Highly Recommended.
I game the same driver, PXG Gen4 0811X, but with the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue and I love it. It is plenty forgiving and super long. As a Marine veteran, I love the company and what Mr Parson does for the military, but it is great that they perform. I also game their Gen4 irons (just upgraded from Gen1 irons) and they are the best irons I ever played. My last set before the Gen1 were Mizuno and Ping before that. Maybe you can test the Gen4 irons next, you will love them. Keep up the good work and glad you are back on the course.
I have been going on a nice little binge watch of alot of your let's play through videos it has been alot of fun watching a good golfer that doesn't hit 350 plus drives or 208 7 irons like alot of another channels do on you tube. I don't mean this as disrespect in anyway if I wrote my tested gapping on my clubs I would feel like a fool so watching a player with skills that is not afraid to leave a 215 220 yard drive ! So thank you so much keep up all the great work I'm learning alot from you man!!!!
Pxg is definitely making a run, prices dropping, sleeker design changes and power and accuracy to boot. The big 4 better watch out and take notice! Great vid Gabe! 👍🏻
I see your point.. but realistically, newer players will play what the pros do which isn’t PXG yet. In the market for a new driver so I appreciate the video.
I purchased the PXG 0811 driver in January because I saw the price drop and all these reviews. I have the Ping G425. I could not get the numbers out of the PXG that I could from my Ping, not even close. PXG was great about it, they actually send me for free to a fitter in NJ to look at any other combo head and shaft they offer. Long story short send the driver back. I still have my Ping G425. I saw the price and went for it, but it did not work for me.
I bought my PXG nearly new for £220 and it is fantastic, forgiving, above all I can line up in line with the path I hope to drive. With my calloway and cobras I have always had to take a tight line to the right to achieve the straight line trajectory, and of course when I just mishit, the ball would be too far right for my liking. My chums have also tried the PXG Gen 4 0811x with same stiff shaft and it flies for them as well.
I purchased the PXG 3 wood. No chance yet to play outside but did hit it 235 indoors with Trackman numbers. Looking forward to Spring in Iowa and getting chance to try it out.
Has my PXG XT delivered today. Took it straight to the range and fell in love with it straight away. Changed the weight to the heel position for a draw and it was so consistent. Can’t wait to get it out on the course. The fact it was almost half the cost of drivers like the Stealth is an added bonus.
What generation did you go with? There's an incredible deal running for a full bag Gen4 setup right now that I'm strongly considering. Are you happy with your decision?
Hey Gabe. Great video. I just had my 0811X delivered yesterday. Was booked to play today but am now isolating due to COVID. Will post an update next weekend.
What a surprising result! I considered buying a Stealth but I ended up buying PXG Gen4 driver with a much discounted price. Mine is a XF driver with the same shaft you have. Thanks again!
Gen 4 drivers only $219 w/ free shipping on PXG site now (Sept 2022). Crazy deal. Shaft options include Tensei Blue, S+, PX Riptide, Cypher, or Smoke Black.
Haven't tried the PXG, but the Sim 2 is a good club. If I'm being honest the best driver I've tried is the Ping G425. Will try and give the PXG a go mind. Golfers in the West of Scotland, tend to be a bit fussy about brands I find, and PXG fits into this outside the box category. Keep up the good work.
Wow that was amazing Gabe, I had my money on the sim2. I have the 1st sim and only got to use it once late this past season. Put that PXG worked wonders for you. Great video my friend
i have tried the pxg and i could get over the sound and lack of it fitting my swing. I hit some pretty good drives with it but nothing compares to my sim2. i love the sound and feel and it just rockets off the face with lower spin as well.
Last year I bought the 0811XF and the 0211 irons, both the best clubs I’ve owned. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to play all the name brands and the PXG outperforms all of them.
I have used both the TM SIM2 MAX 10.5 ser at 9.75 and the PXG 0811X+ 10.5 set at 9.5 and sold off the Sim2 as the PXG just flat outperformed the TM SIM2
Another great review Gabe! Unbelievable, I thought the results were going to be completely opposite! You got that draw working very nicely! Thumbnail is 🔥!
Thanks Gabe! I love these kinds of videos. Will you be putting that PXG in the bag? Would love to see you compare your Sim 2 with the new Callaway Rogue and the new Cobra LTD. I played the Sim 2 Max D last year and really enjoyed the feel and forgiveness but I do love shiny new toys so I'm not sure if it will stay in the bag this season.
Wow Ty so much for the review!!! Playn the M6 now,love it,Krushn it,250-300@55 yo.. looking for a little more distance, heard the stealth would ad 10-15yards, but the price is beyond ridiculous and like you said in the video is it worth the upgrade? The one good thing about the Taylor Made’s is that miss hits r still bombs that’s a fact.I’m looking at as many reviews as possible because PXG is not sold in stores and cannot swing it, hence have to go by the reviews. What would you suggest the prototype or the new GEN four? For distance and forgiveness?
I played the Sim1 & Sim 2 for the last two seasons and at the end of the year was fitted for the PXG & found the distance to be about the same but much better accuracy with PXG
Gabe i know you did this review a few years ago but i just ordered the 0811 X Gen 4 with a PX Cypher 40 5.0 Got it for $199 with shipping and tax it was $259. Can’t wait to see how it compares to my Cleveland Launcher XL 2. Keep putting out the great reviews.
Really interesting results. Swing is looking good! Love my Sim2 with Smoke 60g Stiff. Like throwing darts. Not much longer than my M2 but more accurate. I like the results of the PXG. I too am in Central Florida btw.
I was using an R9 that I've had since 2010! It worked and nothing I tested in the last decade was better......then I bought a PXG gen 4 0811 XT. Consistently 15yds longer. Well worth it.
This pleases me lol! I just bought a pxg 0811x for $190 brand new from pxg with free shipping. Also, bought a new 0211 for $129 with free shipping! Two high end drivers for $200 less than a stealth or a bnib sim2.
Gabe, hoping you’re able to get that Japanese driver you hit at the PGA show and compare it to the PXG driver to compare distance and lateral dispersion. Great video!
I just hit the buy button about half hour ago. I can’t to get it in. I hope it still Jerod up with all the other new stuff that’s going around. Love the review. My friend I golf with has the sim2 good feel on that one too
Wow! Surprised by the outcome. I'm in the market for a new driver for sure. I have the original M1 driver and the Ping G20. I know I need a little more juice. I can't wait for your Callaway video.
Purchased the gen4 x driver still haven’t hit it yet but watching and reading other videos and reviews I went ahead and got the 0211 3 wood and 5 wood as it was only $185.00 a club here in Ontario, Canada couldn’t pass that up. Can’t wait to get out and hit them. Currently switching from the Sim2 driver 3 wood and 5 wood. Hoping the PXG come out on top.
I am looking for a new driver this year, having tested the Mizuno ST-X and the Rogue ST Max LS so far and looking to test out a few more at Golfest this Friday and Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs. I have not considered PXG, but I think they are worth researching.
Just got the PXG 0211 and it is much better than my Taylormade M2. A little longer but much more forgiving. I’m thinking I will now get the 0211 3 and 5 wood too.
You better use that PXG those results are significant enough to warrant it. Anyone would be happy with the distance increase and playability it displayed. Have fun!
Grabbed the 0811 X at a great sales price late last year, and agree with you on the forgiveness and the "tinny" sound, but with the gains against my old driver, I am not concerned with getting used to it. Waiting for spring, as I'm not out and playing until April at the earliest, but looking forward to a great golfing year with it.
I’ve had the Gen4 since the spring. I just bought a Sim2 about 2 weeks ago. Feeling now that maybe I shouldn’t of bought the Sim2. I can’t wait for the snow to melt to take them both out and test them against each other.
Always wondered how good/bad these drivers are? Don’t know anything about them. Not sure if I have seen them at my nearest golf shop here in Western Canada. Maybe they are there just never paid attention. I’m assuming it is cheaper than the big brand names? If so, nice to see they are just as good as them. Have to have a look see if I can find one and put it against my 425 Max. Thx for the review Happy golfing 🏌️♀️
For a long time they were WAY more expensive then the big brand names. A set of irons for $3,500+, etc. Lately they’ve become much more reasonable, and especially this driver.
I switched to PXG from the Sim2. Sim was to light had a hard time telling where the head was in my swing. If I swung hard with the Sim sprayed the ball. First time I have switched from Taylor Made.
Great Video Gabe. I really enjoy these shootouts. I’m surprised at the results but it is what it is. Do u think this PXG driver competes with that Haraken Japanese driver you were hitting? I’m also hearing this pxg is on par with the forgiveness of the G425. I just bought a Sim2 max at a heavy discount but I might need to look at the PGX! Dang you!
They are both solid as can be. So definitely don’t be regretting your Sim 2 purchase. The Haraken is on the way, so we will see you very soon which comes out on top 😁
Gabe, I've been looking forward to this review since seeing you at the show. I'm starting to hit a good groove with my PXG. Yesterday, had one of my best drives in years. Curious, did you adjust the weights at all?
I have not hit either. I have an M2 with a Project X 76g Hzrdus and and am killing it if I really try. So far longest ball is 321. So I’m happy for a while. Haha
I outdrive my buddy who uses the sim 2 by a long shot with my M2(longest drive 344) Overall he scores better than me but I outdrive him 90% of the time. I switched to a PXG 0211 which doesn’t get as much distance as my m2 but it’s more consistent on the fairways. My PXG also outdrives his sim2, I foresee myself attaining PXG 0811 gen4.
Did you ever hit the 0811 x/x+ proto? Curious how it stacks up to the 0811 gen4 as it’s currently $100 less with all the same adjustability and better color scheme imo. Thanks
Hey Gabe, I tested stealth, sim2, pxg, rogue St and stealth came out on top due to spin numbers, 20 yards extra for me on the others, and I badly need it 🤣🤣
Looks like you're probably gaining a lot of distance with the big draw spin of the pxg... if you can control it then cool! But the taylormade was peppering the fairway and won't bounce into trouble
Hey Gabe ! Great stuff I do like a bit of PXG ! FYI you have used Gen 3 Proto in the thumbnail not the Gen4 👍 don’t know if you are aware ? That you have done this ?
This is not about the PXG driver but I have been looking for an app that tells me how far my shots have gone and I noticed you have one on your phone. Would you mind letting me know what it is?

PXG are getting a reputation as a great players' club here in the UK, with great quality. I guess brand heritage means a lot to a lot of golfers, but if you have the quality you can break through - just look what TaylorMade did almost overnight around 1980.
Love to see a dispersion test on these two clubs when your sim is up and running.
Love the on-course tests!
Yeah I love doing the on-course tests as well. I think the offer more value, and believe it or not they’re easier for me to produce and edit
I bought the XF version of this driver last summer and have been very impressed. My brother in law and I played a few rounds together after I bought it and it just so happens he was in the market for a driver also. He had been almost ready to pull the trigger on a Sim 2 because he said it was a good 20 yards better than his driver. He used my driver on several holes and was impressed. So much so he got fitted and ended up with the exact same club the next time we played. The only difference was the grip. I didn’t hit them both but he did and said the distance was pretty close but dispersion and price were what sold him on the PXG.
Yeah, the proof is in the pudding it seems. Hope you guys enjoy those clubs!
I just got fitted for the PXG 0811x this week. My Cobra SpeedZone was just as long, but the dispersion was night-and-day for me with the PXG. The fitting experience was also head-and-shoulders above my previous fittings. I will say the shaft and settings have to come into play, too. I tried 3 different shafts but honestly all 3 were far better than what I have gotten out of the Cobra, a Callaway Mavrik, and the older Titleist TS3 that I have owned or tried over the past 3 years.

That’s pretty amazing. I know the PING is super forgiving
Great PXG works for people.. it’s good brand
I' be played my PXG 0811X for 4 rounds. Last 2 rounds, I shot 81 for 2nd low net (68) in my club tourney. Today, made 7 straight pars to start my round... First time ever. Luv my PXG.
People lie, but numbers don’t. Thank you so much for doing this review. Best review in UA-cam and that’s saying a lot. About to get a new PXG driver
My pleasure! Glad I could help
Great video. Keep up the good work. Bought a Sim2 at TM fitting event early last summer. Started great then struggled. Bought a fitted XF at half the cost with higher loft 2 months later. For me the Sim2 is longer, but not as consistent. The XF is very forgiving for me, but not as long. Loft, shaft & bad swings so I carry both to see who shows up on a given day.

I just got the pxg 0811 xf gen 4 and after getting fitted and everything dialed in I have to say I absolutely love it! I love the feel the sound everything about it!!!! Best thing is now that it’s been out for a while pxg had it on sale and I picked it up for $249 shipped. Worth every penny and then some.

I would love to

Glad I can provide a relatable perspective. Thank for watching and the kind words. Hope it’s a great golf year for you.
Love your videos, well produced and your game represents more golfers than some of the other youtube makers
Thank you Brett

Yes indeed!
Pittsburgh?

Or they’re just getting desperate

Can’t wait to get it out on the course. The fact it was almost half the cost of drivers like the Stealth is an added bonus.
Big congrats 🍾
I have both drivers and I had the same results. I changed from the SIM2 to the Gen4 PXG 0811X and love it!
Still prefer the 0811? How forgiving is it?
Incredibly consistent swings!! Nice job!! I’ve just switched to PXG, full bag. Only played on simulators so far, but very happy.
What generation did you go with? There's an incredible deal running for a full bag Gen4 setup right now that I'm strongly considering. Are you happy with your decision?
@@iantaylor917 I got gen 3. Mostly happy. Sold the driver. I fade it off the tee and I couldn’t hit it straight.
@@williambernett2539 cool thanks for the reply. Sounds like every driver I’ve owned!
Great Stuff Gabe! I purchased a New Sim2 mid-year and love it, but I just may have to go give this club a test ride.
Fantastic review - most of us can relate to your club head speeds and distances off the tee. Very relatable.
Hey Gabe. Great video. I just had my 0811X delivered yesterday. Was booked to play today but am now isolating due to COVID. Will post an update next weekend.
Oh sorry to hear, but congrats on the new addition. Lmk what you think of it when you get back out there.
@@LetsPlayThru will do and thanks. Luckily, not serious symptoms. Watching your video, I’m even more excited to play!
I just switched from the Sim Max to 0811 XF. I got fitted for the PXG and so far I love it. Specially the price they are going for online now.
If they were similar prices which would you prefer? I could get a barely used sim 2 max for a similar price as the 0811
I've had my PXG Gen 4 0811X for about a month now... LOVE IT!!!
What a surprising result! I considered buying a Stealth but I ended up buying PXG Gen4 driver with a much discounted price. Mine is a XF driver with the same shaft you have. Thanks again!
Sounds like you made a good move to me. Hope it serves you well.
The only club that was able to take the Ping G425 Max out of my bag. Loving your stuff. Keep up the great content.
Gen 4 drivers only $219 w/ free shipping on PXG site now (Sept 2022). Crazy deal. Shaft options include Tensei Blue, S+, PX Riptide, Cypher, or Smoke Black.
I like the course comparison club test. Feel like a non bias test..
I have a gen4 0811 and absolutely love this driver. Ile-des-chenes manitoba canada Can't wait for opening day woo hoo Excellent review
Haven't tried the PXG, but the Sim 2 is a good club. If I'm being honest the best driver I've tried is the Ping G425. Will try and give the PXG a go mind. Golfers in the West of Scotland, tend to be a bit fussy about brands I find, and PXG fits into this outside the box category. Keep up the good work.
For dispersion, I do think that G425 is tops. You guys get so much roll, that’s a great choice.
Wow that was amazing Gabe, I had my money on the sim2. I have the 1st sim and only got to use it once late this past season. Put that PXG worked wonders for you. Great video my friend
Gotta admit Ron. I was either going to return it or sell it on eBay. Now I’ve got to keep it! 🤣
I had a SIM2 for a month but couldn’t get comfortable with it and not super consistent. Ended up with the Callaway Epic Speed and it’s been awesome.
i have tried the pxg and i could get over the sound and lack of it fitting my swing. I hit some pretty good drives with it but nothing compares to my sim2. i love the sound and feel and it just rockets off the face with lower spin as well.
i had the same experience i kept my sim2
What app/launch monitor are you using to allow you to determine the exact distance of your drives?
I have the PXG 0311 Driver with stiff shaft and a SIM2 5W and love them both. I have not used the SIM2 Driver.
Last year I bought the 0811XF and the 0211 irons, both the best clubs I’ve owned. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to play all the name brands and the PXG outperforms all of them.
I have used both the TM SIM2 MAX 10.5 ser at 9.75 and the PXG 0811X+ 10.5 set at 9.5 and sold off the Sim2 as the PXG just flat outperformed the TM SIM2
Another great review Gabe! Unbelievable, I thought the results were going to be completely opposite! You got that draw working very nicely! Thumbnail is 🔥!
Dude, you and me both! I DID NOT expect this at all
Thanks Gabe! I love these kinds of videos. Will you be putting that PXG in the bag? Would love to see you compare your Sim 2 with the new Callaway Rogue and the new Cobra LTD. I played the Sim 2 Max D last year and really enjoyed the feel and forgiveness but I do love shiny new toys so I'm not sure if it will stay in the bag this season.
I think it will definitely go in the bag at least for a while. And yes I’m hoping to get my hands on that rogue and Cobra very soon
Great practical review. Dry ball data is not as meaningful to a lot of us. Will be waiting for the Cobra LTD x and Rogue on course shootout.
Would seem your dispersion is quite a bit less with the Taylormade...?.. distance is great...if you are in play...
Wow Ty so much for the review!!!
Playn the M6 now,love it,Krushn it,250-300@55 yo.. looking for a little more distance, heard the stealth would ad 10-15yards, but the price is beyond ridiculous and like you said in the video is it worth the upgrade? The one good thing about the Taylor Made’s is that miss hits r still bombs that’s a fact.I’m looking at as many reviews as possible because PXG is not sold in stores and cannot swing it, hence have to go by the reviews. What would you suggest the prototype or the new GEN four? For distance and forgiveness?
Good stuff. The most impressive thing is your consistency. You must be nightmare in the club match play😁
Would live to see the club/ball data on the bushnell launch pro for sim2 vs PXG Gen4. Great video as always. Thanks Gabe.
Me too, will do next week for sure
I played the Sim1 & Sim 2 for the last two seasons and at the end of the year was fitted for the PXG & found the distance to be about the same but much better accuracy with PXG
We’re you fitted for the Sim 1 and 2? If not that’s comparing apples and oranges
Gabe i know you did this review a few years ago but i just ordered the 0811 X Gen 4 with a PX Cypher 40 5.0
Got it for $199 with shipping and tax it was $259. Can’t wait to see how it compares to my Cleveland Launcher XL 2. Keep putting out the great reviews.
Congrats Norman!
Really interesting results. Swing is looking good! Love my Sim2 with Smoke 60g Stiff. Like throwing darts. Not much longer than my M2 but more accurate. I like the results of the PXG. I too am in Central Florida btw.
I was using an R9 that I've had since 2010! It worked and nothing I tested in the last decade was better......then I bought a PXG gen 4 0811 XT. Consistently 15yds longer. Well worth it.
Great review! But what I wanted to know: which is better, Edwin Watts or PGA Superstore in Carrollwood?
Like my children, that’s hard to pick a fave. I like them both for different reasons.
GREAT comparison. I currently play the Cobra F9. I hit my friend's new PXG driver and loved the forgiveness and feel. Perhaps it's time to upgrade.
This pleases me lol! I just bought a pxg 0811x for $190 brand new from pxg with free shipping. Also, bought a new 0211 for $129 with free shipping! Two high end drivers for $200 less than a stealth or a bnib sim2.
Gabe, hoping you’re able to get that Japanese driver you hit at the PGA show and compare it to the PXG driver to compare distance and lateral dispersion. Great video!
Yes the Docus Design driver is on its way. Will def compare.
Very helpful thanks! Gonna pick up this driver on clearance!!
I’ve ordered the PXG 0811 xf, so looking forward to it arriving, should be another 3-4 weeks
Congrats, hope it serves you well 🍾
Awesome video...yes!!!’ I carry a Gen 4 Driver too...crazy distance...
I just hit the buy button about half hour ago. I can’t to get it in. I hope it still Jerod up with all the other new stuff that’s going around. Love the review. My friend I golf with has the sim2 good feel on that one too
Wow! Surprised by the outcome. I'm in the market for a new driver for sure. I have the original M1 driver and the Ping G20. I know I need a little more juice. I can't wait for your Callaway video.
I couldn’t believe it. You can prob see it on my face.
@@LetsPlayThru Yep I did see it lol
Purchased the gen4 x driver still haven’t hit it yet but watching and reading other videos and reviews I went ahead and got the 0211 3 wood and 5 wood as it was only $185.00 a club here in Ontario, Canada couldn’t pass that up. Can’t wait to get out and hit them. Currently switching from the Sim2 driver 3 wood and 5 wood. Hoping the PXG come out on top.
Good luck, hope they serve you well
I am looking for a new driver this year, having tested the Mizuno ST-X and the Rogue ST Max LS so far and looking to test out a few more at Golfest this Friday and Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs. I have not considered PXG, but I think they are worth researching.
Very honest test. Refreshing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
what is the devce you are usng for the ball speed smash factor etc. Thanks
Just upgraded from gen 2 the gen 4 this week can’t wait for delivery!
Congrats! Would be interested to hear about the difference you see from Gen 2 to 4
Purchased the 0211 driver last year than upgraded to the gen 4 . Absolutely a beast. PXG throughout the bad except odyssey putter.
The 0811x driver line is $220 plus tax shipped @ PXG right now with quite a few grip and shaft options up charge or no up charge😵
Would love to try a PXG, but no fitting centers here in Vegas!
That’s only a day trip to the factory in Scottsdale though 😉
Just got the PXG 0211 and it is much better than my Taylormade M2. A little longer but much more forgiving. I’m thinking I will now get the 0211 3 and 5 wood too.
You better use that PXG those results are significant enough to warrant it. Anyone would be happy with the distance increase and playability it displayed. Have fun!
Wes, you’re right…I think I have to. Was hoping to sell it or return it after the review😂
Great review. Price just dropped to $189.99 now. Thanks again. Might consider buying this driver
I picked up on Military discount for $289. If you can get for $100 less than that it’s an incredible steal
The $189.99 is for the 0211 driver and not the Gen4
I gamed both of them last season. PXG has definitely more pop. Sim2 was a little straighter but floated in the wind more.
I just placed my order for the Gen 4 0811 XT and cannot wait. They have then on sale now for $189.
Grabbed the 0811 X at a great sales price late last year, and agree with you on the forgiveness and the "tinny" sound, but with the gains against my old driver, I am not concerned with getting used to it. Waiting for spring, as I'm not out and playing until April at the earliest, but looking forward to a great golfing year with it.
My old R9 SuperTri was awesome and hurt your ears when I smashed it, but luv my PXG and sounds good when you flush it.
How do you like it?
What is the measurement device you are using? Thank you
I’ve had the Gen4 since the spring. I just bought a Sim2 about 2 weeks ago. Feeling now that maybe I shouldn’t of bought the Sim2. I can’t wait for the snow to melt to take them both out and test them against each other.
Def report back and let us know your results. I’d be interested to hear if you have the same experience
Always wondered how good/bad these drivers are? Don’t know anything about them. Not sure if I have seen them at my nearest golf shop here in Western Canada.
Maybe they are there just never paid attention. I’m assuming it is cheaper than the big brand names?
If so, nice to see they are just as good as them. Have to have a look see if I can find one and put it against my 425 Max.
Thx for the review
Happy golfing 🏌️♀️
For a long time they were WAY more expensive then the big brand names. A set of irons for $3,500+, etc. Lately they’ve become much more reasonable, and especially this driver.
I switched to PXG from the Sim2. Sim was to light had a hard time telling where the head was in my swing. If I swung hard with the Sim sprayed the ball. First time I have switched from Taylor Made.
It is super light for sure
What is the handheld gps he is using in the video to track distance?
I added the PXG 0811x and the 0211 irons and I'm sold on PXG.
I just ordered the PXG driver direct from them for $249 !! The real selling point is they have a 60 money back guarantee no questions ask.
Great Video Gabe. I really enjoy these shootouts. I’m surprised at the results but it is what it is. Do u think this PXG driver competes with that Haraken Japanese driver you were hitting? I’m also hearing this pxg is on par with the forgiveness of the G425. I just bought a Sim2 max at a heavy discount but I might need to look at the PGX! Dang you!
They are both solid as can be. So definitely don’t be regretting your Sim 2 purchase. The Haraken is on the way, so we will see you very soon which comes out on top 😁
Fun watch. Never tried anything pxg. May now!
Got my PXG 0811X yesterday. Added 20 yards to my drives and the weather in Brooksville was cold and wet
Sweet congrats!
I've been looking for this video. Wonderful on course review
The numbers speak for themselves! I’ll have to have a crack at one of those!
Indeed. I was amazed
Gabe,
I've been looking forward to this review since seeing you at the show.
I'm starting to hit a good groove with my PXG.
Yesterday, had one of my best drives in years.
Curious, did you adjust the weights at all?
Great seeing you there. Nope I didn’t do anything with the weights. Just as it came other than I turned it up a degree to 9.5°.
Get the weight kit and/or play with the lie settings to straighten out those left shots
Not tried them but I’d take Sim purely for dispersion looking at the shot tracer. Yes distance is a bonus but can’t beat straighter shots to fairways.
It feels like that's probably more down to it being his preferred daily gamer v a brand new club
I have not hit either. I have an M2 with a Project X 76g Hzrdus and and am killing it if I really try. So far longest ball is 321. So I’m happy for a while. Haha
Wilson has a new ball coming out this month called the Triad I'm hoping you give it a try! 🐊🦅🇵🇷
Oh awesome, thanks for the heads up!
Always sounds like your under attack. Is that roofers in the background nailing the shingles?
Haha, for real! Playing in the morning I have all things to contend with, mowers, dogs, and roofers. Yes they must have been installing a roof nearby.
Do you have the same shaft in each?
I outdrive my buddy who uses the sim 2 by a long shot with my M2(longest drive 344) Overall he scores better than me but I outdrive him 90% of the time. I switched to a PXG 0211 which doesn’t get as much distance as my m2 but it’s more consistent on the fairways. My PXG also outdrives his sim2, I foresee myself attaining PXG 0811 gen4.
Did you ever hit the 0811 x/x+ proto? Curious how it stacks up to the 0811 gen4 as it’s currently $100 less with all the same adjustability and better color scheme imo. Thanks
No haven’t tried that one
I have the Gen 4 0811 XF 12* w/riptide Senior shaft….great performance
Hey Gabe, I tested stealth, sim2, pxg, rogue St and stealth came out on top due to spin numbers, 20 yards extra for me on the others, and I badly need it 🤣🤣
Sweet! Glad you found a winner
Playing the SIM2, had the PXG Proto but shaft didn’t really fit my game even though I was fit for it. Was the shaft in the PXG fit to you?
Not professionally, but I took my best guess based on what I normally play and what the stock options are.
Looks like you're probably gaining a lot of distance with the big draw spin of the pxg... if you can control it then cool! But the taylormade was peppering the fairway and won't bounce into trouble
I got fitted for a sim2 in Oct. This vid soiled my purchase lol. Damn it!
Hey Gabe ! Great stuff I do like a bit of PXG ! FYI you have used Gen 3 Proto in the thumbnail not the Gen4 👍 don’t know if you are aware ? That you have done this ?
Ah good catch, I’ll change it. Thank you
@@LetsPlayThru no problem! Always happy to help ! 👊
This is not about the PXG driver but I have been looking for an app that tells me how far my shots have gone and I noticed you have one on your phone. Would you mind letting me know what it is?
Great vid Gabe and awesome to see you out on the course driving the ball well again.
Thanks Simon, it felt so good to be back
Is this a regular shaft and 60 grams?
Which shaft are you using in the PXG?
