PXG was founded eight years ago and made its mark by developing irons that looked like a better-player’s muscleback blade but performed like a game-improvement club. To make that happen, the company’s designers hid technologies inside the hollow-bodied heads to increase ball speed while adding the company’s now-signature weight screws around the head to boost forgiveness.
Drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges and putters soon followed the irons, and then PXG started developing different types of clubs to address the needs of different players.
Last February, PXG launched the 0811 GEN4 family of drivers, which includes three models: the low-spin GEN4 X, the tour-inspired GEN4 XT and the ultra-forgiving GEN4 XF. At the time, fairway woods and hybrids were also released that matched the GEN4 X. They were ideally suited for golfers who wanted a lower, more-piercing ball flight.
Now, PXG is releasing the GEN4 XF 0341 fairway woods and GEN4 XF 0317 hybrids for golfers who want more forgiveness. While the clubs are designed to do different things, they share several technologies and features.
