A couple weeks ago we passed along patent details for a yet unseen PXG driver, today we’ve got the first look at a USGA approved driver that while not identical, does bear some similarities to those patent drawings.
We’re working to get some additional details, but what we see here suggest a less aggressive approach to movable weights. This one has but a paltry 10 screws.
Our preliminary mass properties report on the current 0811 driver suggest it’s an excellent low/back CG offering not too far off from Cobra’s FLY-Z and PING’s G30. The DARKNESS appears to be a bit different.
What we see here suggests something more inline with a mid CG offering. What we politely refer to internally as safe from a mass properties perspective.
This could be the next PXG driver, or it could be a one-off for one of PXG’s new troops. Whichever it proves to be, don’t read too much into the DARKNESS name. It’s a nickname for PXG founder, Bob Parsons, and often finds its way onto PXG prototypes.
We’ll update this story with any additional information we receive.

Jericho if you’re swinging your putter upwards of 36 times it’s definitely not you’re money maker, no matter what the cost.
I personally play the 0311T irons, they have been a great addition to my bag over my MP 69s- club and a half extra in yards and much more forgiving. Bottom line, I bought them because I liked the performance and I could.
