[Music] Hello, everyone. My name is Alex Riggs
and I'm at Scottsdale National. I've got the new lineup of PXG GEN4 Drivers.
Let's get into them. The first head in the 0811 GEN4 lineup
is the XT. XT stands for "Xtreme Tour" and that's exactly what this head brings you.
That teardrop shape with a slightly lower profile from top to bottom,
this allows them to reduce the drag, increase the aerodynamics,
and increase the club head speed. As we know, faster club head speeds mean faster ball speeds.
So, if you're looking for pure distance, this is the driver for you.
The next head in the lineup is the 0811x. Now, this head brings you a deeper face.
That deeper face allows them to position the center of gravity
in a way to reduce spin. So this will be the lowest spinning head in the lineup and
really a very nice blend between the three options. The third head in the lineup
is the 0811xf. XF stands for "Xtreme Forgiveness" and
that's exactly what this head brings you. A larger profile, a much bigger sweet spot,
it gives you an opportunity to miss the center of face and still
optimize the ball flight. This head design is all about forgiveness, with the COG – center of gravity –
slightly further back in the head, giving you a little bit of a higher
launch profile, a higher MOI – so that's moment of inertia –
which is the resistance to twisting. This head really is going to be the most
forgiving head in the PXG lineup. So, the major visual difference
with the new GEN4 is this crown design. This crown is
showing off the aluminum vapor carbon fiber technology. Now what that is, I know
it's a mouthful, but this allows them to stiffen up the crown. Now, the importance
of that is that stiffening the crown makes the total golf club play more stable,
which means more forgiving. Also the visual that it gives you and how
that surrounds the golf ball is a really nice touch to the eye. I first had a
chance to look at this yesterday, and I tell you what – it screams that it wants
to be smashed. With the GEN4, PXG has taken the feedback and used a similar
weight port design to what they had in the Prototype Driver. This weight
design allows them to manipulate launch and spin. If you want, you can put further
weight into the back to shift the center of gravity further back just to get that
golf ball up into the air more. If you want more weight near the face,
that's going to give you lower spin. And if you want to change that weight near the heel
side of the golf club, that's how we can adjust whether it wants to play more
fade bias or draw bias. So, I've just finished testing the new
GEN4s and it's fascinating how they do exactly what they're supposed to do.
The XF – the "Xtreme Forgiveness" – this is the one that I just finished up testing.
Really, really forgiving off the tee. Slightly higher spin rate but we need
that to keep the golf ball in the fairway. We don't want the spin rate
dropping too low while looking for extreme forgiveness. The x – that's the second one –
we call that the best of both worlds. That gives us that lower spin rate
but still great forgiveness. That gave me the lowest spin overall and I've played that
driver before and love the way the GEN4 feels. The XT was a new one for me
because that's a new part of the lineup. The "Xtreme Tour" – that teardrop shape –
now, this is the one that I'm going with this season. I love that tour-inspired shape
and the club head speed that I was able to pick up. Getting up over 115 is
exactly what I'm looking for now. I'd love to know what you guys get fit for
so come try the new GEN4s and let me know what you end up with.
