GOLD

WHY WE LIKE IT In the search for new ways to do better things, sometimes the best way to make a positive change is to use better ingredients. PXG’s engineers have inserted a new titanium alloy for the face on these standard and low-spin models. The alloy, unnamed but likely used in aircraft landing gear, helps shots launch with less spin and higher flight, two recipes for optimising distance. Lighter carbon- composite panels in the crown and sole save weight that’s redistributed to the perimeter for the most stable heads in company history.

0311 BLACK OPS R13 500

• This driver emphasises forgiveness with its weight-saving carbon-composite panels. • New titanium-alloy face insert deflects more for higher launch with less spin. • Three perimeter weights in the centre, heel and toe of the sole provide stability. • 8, 9, 10.5, 12 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)
