Exactly! Meanwhile Taylormade Sim2 are still 499! PXG is so underrated and great clubs! I got the Gen 5 driver when they released the Gen 6 for 249 and free shipping! Best driver I’ve ever owned owned and the cheapest driver I’ve bought since the 90s maybe?
I got one of the PXG bargain line drivers and its so good I replaced my Taylormade M5 with it. The standard shaft a strong regular is superb and the head has a nice weight too it. The M5 was too light for me. I did put on De Chambeau supersize grips and this makes a big difference. So easy to swing with these grips and I highly recommend them. I even put them on my irons which are also PXG bargain line. They are hollow with a nice insert to help rebound and again I recommend them too. They go at least a half club length longer than my old irons as they are hollow and have a higher COF. Like a mini driver but they are not as forgiving as regular perimeter weighted irons so keep this in mind. That was the rap on the Gen6 irons in the new 2024 Hot list, they go a mile but are not that forgiving. I have no problems with mine, though. And I saved a huge amount when I purchased them as their price is very reasonable. Just my two cents. Never thought Id be a PXG fan but I am now.
I do think PXG have been doing some great things over the past few years. Reviewed a few of their clubs last year and loved them. Even played the gen 5 PXG driver for a while. Looking forward to getting my hands on a few of their clubs this year to try and review.
James would there be any chance of a review for the 0211 PXG driver? It’s all well and good reviewing a £500+ driver that most won’t buy if we’re starting out. At £239 you can get fitted for the 0211 which seems remarkable value for money but is it any good? Would be valuable to a lot of us I think! Thanks!
I just got the Tour Edge E723 MOI+ and it played absolutely phenomenally. I am a high handicap player with a slow driver swing speed. I had a Cobra FlyZ and currently my drives were around 270yards. I had tried a RadSpeed and it did not do anything for me. Flights were still all over the place so I sold the club. The E723 flew straight from everywhere off the face and distance was consistent from everywhere on the face. I did not gain any yardage on the good strikes, but gained yardage on my mis hits. It was a great upgrade for me.
Like always, I really enjoy these videos. But are the knife laws in the UK so strict you can't carry a little pen knife to open these boxes (lol). Also, my wine gums came in, very tasty. And the comment about every club you test going in your bag, I pretty sure your bag would be over 14 clubs if that would be the case
I hit the standard Black Ops driver during the hero pre release and was blown away. The retail price is crazy, but the hero price is reasonable. I am supposed to do the challenge soon.
I just received my PXG Tour-1 and I cannot make this thing go left (I'm right handed). My miss is a hook if I get too quick with my hands and now with this driver, everything even after messing with the weights wants to go a little right. I'm actually ok with that but it's something I need to get use to.
I just got mine and let me tell you. It is low launch and low low spin. I game the TSR 8* set in the C1 position(-.75* loft and. 75* open). This driver 8* turned up to 9-1/2* is still so low a spin that I can't keep it in the air. I believe it spins less than the srixon zx5 LS. When I do catch it with some added spin it's 20yds longer than my tsr3. Just FYI. Don't shrug your shoulders at trying the 10.5* head. I'm switching to it. Crazy.
Going in to PXG in two days, ostensibly for a 5 hybrid fitting, but fitter wants me to try the Black Ops driver as well. We'll have to see what I walk out with . . (Btw, I envisage stuff all the time. In fact, I envisaged my having the PXG driver in my bag just last nite!) Great vid!
I changed my ad di 6s to a 6x in my g430 LST. I’m done tinkering for the year. Aside from putters sometimes I play my phantom x12 sometimes I play the Newport 2
I have the black ops it is so awesome have it in 9 degree play at 9.7 degrees. First time fitted for drivers and hit it farther with less dispersion than Callaway or Taylormade.
Re the PXG you are testing on the course and in the simulator. It appears you are aligned either right of target or square and every time you swing the club, you appear to pull shot to the left?
higher driver loft is gonna help most people, i know you know this. pros have amazing upward angle of attack, non pros struggle since everything else is downward. now ams can get closer to zero but still get launch angle. 10.5 lofted up is gonna be the best for most golfers.
I have the Gen 5 0311, and it is truly the best sounding driver and they are known for building the lowest spinning drivers on the market! Do yourself a favor and try one! Big plus they’re at least 100 cheaper than all the big boys!
James can you try the new cleavland xl range both halo and hy woods they are supposed to be great game improvement clubs for high to mid handicap players
Were we not all told to loft up 11 years ago with the SLDR, because it was so low spin, and a year later everyone was binning it because low spin = low forgiveness when the odd long one novelty wears off.
I’ve been preaching that a 10.5 loft driver is the answer for most golfers for a while. I have a 105 mph club head speed and I use a 10.5.! Put this driver in the bag James
Was thinking about this same topic last night... golf shoes were invented because regular shoes were smooth bottomed. Now, trainers have tons of grip.. I wear Altra Olympus high tops in the spring,and fall.. same shoe but low top in summer... way more comfort....
Just another evolution of PXG claiming to have gotten it right again. Seems like they release a new line every 6 months, and you can see how the weights have moved each time. They had numerous models with 4 weights, then 3 weights. Each new model of course came with advertising material about how they got it right this time. Based on performance, it looks like the fitter did a great job, so yes, go ahead and bag it. A drier course and warmer weather will get you another 15-20 yards come summer. That will be about the time PXG will be releasing their next driver.
I would love to see the new range of drivers being tested at an average golfers swing speed, I heard a someone on the course saying he saw a review that a one of the new drivers went 300+ yards and I thought no that’s not how it works.
And don't cut the Hood, they are there to be Worn😂..Like the guy at Tennis covering his eyes from the sun, while wearing his hat Backwards😂..Im not saying Uni-Bomber..But..Love your Consistency in producing Quality Content for us
It's all about this guy, the rest of them too and they know who they are, getting free expensive equipment hoping the normal geezer out there will be the mug and buy it. Never going for a brand new driver again, sold it after a month, I was the mug once, never again.
Nice. How much was the fitting and how much did YOU pay for the club? Also how much was the shaft upgrade? It's not an option on the PXG website. Great video about you bragging and bosting about a club that is over priced for the average golfer. 👎
Good review overall but I'm noticing my favorite TH-cam subscriptions are getting longer and longer covering something that always drags on a bit... Does anyone know if they get paid more if videos are longer? It's starting to feel like every video of every person i subscribe to takes 8 minutes of content and makes it double?
What kills me is the avg golfer who thinks they’re good, but really aren’t, get new clubs, usually drivers, every year or even more than that. They seem to have the funds to do so. But still get on the first tee, slice the eff outta it, or duff etc. the reality is, most good to excellent golfers, even pros don’t switch clubs or drivers that often. (Unless under contract of course). Because, once they find something they like and get used to, they want that familiarity and reliability. To get a new driver every year, or even 2 years, spend $500 plus, is a friggin joke. I outplay and outdrive everyone in my golf league with my 20 plus year old driver. I have newer ones, with my newest about 8 years old, but I always go back to the trusted ones that got me to a scratch at one point. There’s a guy in my league, he has the newest everything, dresses like tour pro, thinks he’s great and rarely breaks 50 on 9 holes. Complains about the greens when missing a putt, even though they’re perfect. Hits a horrible drive, looks at the bottom of his club like it was the club and not him, says “not crazy about this club”. Even though he just dropped 600 bones on it. I just laugh, shake my head and move on. I’m sure you know the type I’m talking about. Those are the fools the large corporations go after. “20 yards farther”! Lol. Go spend $50 on a used driver, clean it up, get the right shaft and new grip, and move on
Again, why do you get so into the unforgiven driver? You’re not Chris. You need the most forgiving driver, not the longest. You don’t hit the ball far, just get forgiving and hit fairways. Not FORE LEFT!
This is not your Real Driver. Your Swing is not a good Match for 10.5 Degree. Your Swing Plan is around 9 Degrees for optimum Distances. Higher lofts are for players having difficulty hit ball straight.
This is $650, that is not a realistic price for the majority of the golfers today. You also talk a lot about golf being too expensive, is this not a perfect example of that. Disappointing
It’s literally only $50 more than the new Smoke, G430 10K and $20 more than the Qi10 LS 🤣 All drivers are hanging around the $500-$600 range now. Blame the industry, not James Robinson 🤦🏻♂️
The Taylormade Qi is the best driver this yr ….callaway 2nd ,then cobra ,, then ping ,, ping starting to piss ping loyalists off……….pxg ?? Which pros win with them ??? ……. Also the owner of pxg is very arrogant,, don’t like the firm .
Kind of looks like a blacked out SIM2.
I can't wait to pick one of these up next year for $250!
Exactly! Meanwhile Taylormade Sim2 are still 499! PXG is so underrated and great clubs! I got the Gen 5 driver when they released the Gen 6 for 249 and free shipping! Best driver I’ve ever owned owned and the cheapest driver I’ve bought since the 90s maybe?
Have you ever tried the Wilson Dynapower Carbon? That's the driver that shocked me with how good it was.
James always wanted to try PXG driver..hearing the resale value of them are really bad ..but one day will try it!
I got one of the PXG bargain line drivers and its so good I replaced my Taylormade M5 with it. The standard shaft a strong regular is superb and the head has a nice weight too it.

Mine just arrived, installed the JumboMax STR8 XL grips. Will be swinging tomorrow. It was amazing at the fitting, and my swing was off. We shall see.
I do think PXG have been doing some great things over the past few years. Reviewed a few of their clubs last year and loved them. Even played the gen 5 PXG driver for a while. Looking forward to getting my hands on a few of their clubs this year to try and review.
Gives me TM Sim Max vibes
I agree with the fitting part, I always assumed 9-9.5 was best. Best last year i got the triple diamond in a 10.5 degree head
James would there be any chance of a review for the 0211 PXG driver? It’s all well and good reviewing a £500+ driver that most won’t buy if we’re starting out. At £239 you can get fitted for the 0211 which seems remarkable value for money but is it any good? Would be valuable to a lot of us I think! Thanks!
Thanks buddy. I’m pretty sure there is already a 0211 video on my channel from last year

That's going to be up there for Driver of the year in my opinion. PXG has done amazing this year with the woods, and irons, and I love the wedges.

for my money the new PXG is the best looking driver released this year - its tha bomb
I hit the standard Black Ops driver during the hero pre release and was blown away. The retail price is crazy, but the hero price is reasonable. I am supposed to do the challenge soon.

I found the right shaft for my triple diamond and don’t see anything taking it out of the rotation for a while
Interesting they fitted you at 10.5. All the PXG videos I’ve watched they lofted people down.
Looking forward to a PXG fitting. Nice job James
I just got mine and let me tell you. It is low launch and low low spin. I game the TSR 8* set in the C1 position(-.75* loft and. 75* open).

Hi James just wondering how long it is..Not distance in inches? ..It looks a Tad Short..I personally love a tad short😂
I changed my ad di 6s to a 6x in my g430 LST. I’m done tinkering for the year. Aside from putters sometimes I play my phantom x12 sometimes I play the Newport 2
James: You have become both a philosopher and keen linguistic addition to your social role as a PGA Pro. Very impressive.
I have the black ops it is so awesome have it in 9 degree play at 9.7 degrees. First time fitted for drivers and hit it farther with less dispersion than Callaway or Taylormade.
Low spin as well sub 2k spin on toe hits but still 2100-2500 spin. Can’t imagine hitting the low spin model.
james is always obsessed with low spin but every time you play a driver with spin you hit it well !!
Hahaha do true
Tour model is so dam expensive... 699 and then 2-300 if you get fitted into a premium shaft....
Re the PXG you are testing on the course and in the simulator. It appears you are aligned either right of target or square and every time you swing the club, you appear to pull shot to the left?
All new drivers the resale is pony, was offered £225 for my tsr2 a week after I bought it , just done it as an experiment in my pro shop.
Another outstanding club review James
You should let Dave try it 😂
Tape it up first lol.
Finished second in my testing. A really solid driver!!
higher driver loft is gonna help most people, i know you know this. pros have amazing upward angle of attack, non pros struggle since everything else is downward. now ams can get closer to zero but still get launch angle. 10.5 lofted up is gonna be the best for most golfers.

Well done James iv still got the taylormade stealth 2 😊
James can you try the new cleavland xl range both halo and hy woods they are supposed to be great game improvement clubs for high to mid handicap players
Looks Like Murdered out OG Sim
Were we not all told to loft up 11 years ago with the SLDR, because it was so low spin, and a year later everyone was binning it because low spin = low forgiveness when the odd long one novelty wears off.
Yes but now it actually works
Didnt think I would ever say it but I am becoming a fan of PXG product, has improved so much recently.
I’ve been preaching that a 10.5 loft driver is the answer for most golfers for a while. I have a 105 mph club head speed and I use a 10.5.! Put this driver in the bag James
Yep great driver for mid Handicap Dave to test for you James... he will look after it for you...
Why not tell us which kbs shaft weight and flex it is?
PXG has a great Hero’s program as well too!
In the US! Does it discount veterans in the UK?
Aparently so, but you have to ask when your bookjng a fittjng and prove it
I have a fitting in April. I can't wait.
I have notice that most of you guys are not using golf shoes. I would like to know if there is a reason for not to use them?
Luke Kwon sometimes goes without shoes. Whatever floats anyones boat really.
WuT? They are the puma rs golf shoes….
Was thinking about this same topic last night... golf shoes were invented because regular shoes were smooth bottomed. Now, trainers have tons of grip.. I wear Altra Olympus high tops in the spring,and fall.. same shoe but low top in summer... way more comfort....
@@Divegrohl90cuz you don't overswing?
Think they might be golf shoes ya know, having the word golf covering the bottom of the shoe makes me believe this
You seem to have a lot of confidence with that driver, stick it in the bag James. It also sounds amazing by the way
Just another evolution of PXG claiming to have gotten it right again. Seems like they release a new line every 6 months, and you can see how the weights have moved each time.

sound and feel is better than any other driver I have used. It is low spin...so many may need to loft up
I would love to see the new range of drivers being tested at an average golfers swing speed, I heard a someone on the course saying he saw a review that a one of the new drivers went 300+ yards and I thought no that’s not how it works.
If this driver gives you the confidence needed when standing over the ball then its a good fit for you.
Was that £780 with the KBS shaft?? 😳😳😬😬
Looks like you've found your big stick for the Seed series.🔥
I don't understand why Taylormade is not sueing them,are they paying for the inertia generator ?
£2-300 up charge for the KBS shaft! 😮
O'three eleven. That's the pronunciation. That's the mos designation for a grunt in the Marine Corp. A foot soldier or infantryman.

It's all about this guy, the rest of them too and they know who they are, getting free expensive equipment hoping the normal geezer out there will be the mug and buy it. Never going for a brand new driver again, sold it after a month, I was the mug once, never again.
Never seen your seing snapping like this ever bud
Now thats a driver you want to keep until it brokes wow
Exactly the driver I expected
PXG are the coolest and most exciting brand in golf ATM
Sounds silly but the one reason I would never choose a PXG golf club is their ridiculous club names with all these numbers nobody can remember.
So will this be your gamer and why did you change putters when the one you were playing was fitted
Because I do this for the fun. And sometimes… a new putter is fun
@@JamesRobinsonGolf ok I was just wondering thanks
I wasn't trying to be rude just curious love the videos
It just looks like the sim when it first came out
Looks like another lawsuit for Taylormade 😂
Best looking driver released this year.
Nice. How much was the fitting and how much did YOU pay for the club? Also how much was the shaft upgrade? It's not an option on the PXG website.
Great video about you bragging and bosting about a club that is over priced for the average golfer. 👎
Bragging 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love how you think you’re speaking for the masses when infact you speak for your own situation. 👍🏼
Better ball flight than your 2023 Paradym.
Funny we say how much Costco driver resembles other brands while this is a sim 2 driver with different makeup on it
Good review overall but I'm noticing my favorite TH-cam subscriptions are getting longer and longer covering something that always drags on a bit... Does anyone know if they get paid more if videos are longer? It's starting to feel like every video of every person i subscribe to takes 8 minutes of content and makes it double?
Why does it worry you? I don’t understand why you would watch if you just want it to be over ? Lol
Looks a winner.

I changed my driver for a discounted G425 last year. My old driver was well battered. I can’t see me changing again anytime soon.
Why do you care what he gets and what he wears. You sound jealous
so they just stole the design from the Sim2 products and called it blackops?
If you want the club to look like you've used it for 2 seasons, let Dave use it.
Sim Max 2... best driver TM have made.
Again, why do you get so into the unforgiven driver? You’re not Chris. You need the most forgiving driver, not the longest. You don’t hit the ball far, just get forgiving and hit fairways. Not FORE LEFT!
Didn't he say he's hitting fairways with it? Lol fooore!
I feel like I answered this in the video?

No 👍🏼😂
