GolfWRX Spotted: PXG Gen4 drivers on conforming list

Published

on

Last week saw a flurry of new clubs listed on the joint USGA and R&A conforming clubs lists from both Callaway and TaylorMade—now it’s PXG’s turn.

The newly updated January 11 list includes three new models, two of which are shown as being available left-handed: 0811XF Gen4, 0811X Gen4, and the 0811XT Gen4.

It was only last week that PXG launched its more affordable 0211 line of clubs, and with the Gen2 driver getting closer and closer to being 24 months old and the Proto drivers only being a limited release, it’s no surprise to see a PXG Gen4 driver have the potential to be released before the spring.

A closer look at the PXG Gen4 driver models

0811XF Gen4

All the new Gen4 drivers, including the XF, share a similar look to the PXG prototype drivers released in 2020 except instead of using four weight ports to optimize trajectory they have gone with three—I guess that part of the reason they were considered prototypes.

The XF metal woods from PXG have always stood out as the most forgiving model in the lineup, and based on the available images, the 0811 XF Gen4 has a more round profile with mass positioned in the heel. The driver also looks to be longer front to back which would aid in MOI—remember, geometry is a cost-free way engineers can alter a golf club’s mass properties and increase forgiveness.

The last part of the puzzle is what the “AV Carbon Fiber Tech” on the skirt of the driver means. If the progression is moving as you would expect then this most likely means PXG is using more carbon fiber in this driver than ever before including on the underside of the head.

0811X Gen4

The 0811X Gen4 driver shares all of the same technology as mentioned above but the biggest difference appears to be the dimensions of the head. Judging by the sole, you can see that not only is the angle greater from the hosel to the heel side of the head—indicating a more pronounced pear shape—but using the weights are reference the head also looks to be shorter front to back.

This once again falls in line with PXG’s naming which would place the 0811 X Gen4 as the middle option designed to fit the greatest amount of golfers.

0811XT

This is the wildcard of the three new heads. “XT” has never been used to denote a driver in the PXG line, but I would conclude based on names within the rest of the PXG line of clubs that T stands for “tour” and the 0811 XT Gen4 is going to either be a smaller or deeper head shape based on the images.

Just like with the 0811X the angle from the hosel to the rear of the head towards the heel is thinner and comes off at the larger angle indicating an even more pronounced pear shape—usually reserved for lower handicap focused models. The overall dimensions of the sole also look more compact than the 0811X to also indicate an overall smaller footprint.

Whether all three models make it to full retail release has yet to been seen, but don’t be surprised if we hear more about these drivers very soon.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
