Each driver also features a hybrid crown constructions with Honeycomb TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) sole inserts and anti-glare finishes at address.

The adjustable hosel can change the loft by +/- 1 ½ degrees to optimize the trajectory further.

There is also an 0811 X+ driver, which features a mid CG for mid spin characteristics.

“The PXG 0811 X and X+ Proto drivers appear to check all of the boxes for PXG’s tour pros – distance, dispersion, sound, feel, looks, and forgiveness,” PXG reportedly said in a US press release.

“By making a limited number of both models available to the most important golfers it serves, PXG’s customers, the company will further expand its opportunity for performance feedback – PXG’s only measure of success.”
