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.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
