Well if nothing else, this certainly takes the award for the best driver and fairway wood name. Lightning. It just sounds cool. When people ask me what driver I have in the bag I want to say that I am using a lightning.

I’m sure from the name alone you can guess what characteristic PXG has focused on here. Yep, speed. But these PXG lightning drivers and fairway woods are designed to offer so much more. They are also more forgiving and offer advanced versatility compared to previous PXG models.
To find out how, here’s everything you need to know about PXG’s latest driver and metal wood range…
PXG Lightning Drivers and Fairway Woods: The Technology
Let’s start off with how PXG has made their new drivers even faster. The brand has designed their new driver range to produce natural frequency aligning with compression of the ball during impact. In turn it means a more efficient transfer of energy in the club face which means more ball speed. This all comes from a new frequency tuned face.
A spinned sole design is also used to help increase speed. It stiffens the sole to remove unwanted modal frequencies and the thin wall carbon fibre design allows for added stiffness without added weight.
More carbon fibre is used in the crafted of this range than previous ones which allows for a higher strength to weight ratio. In fact, the whole weight structure has been strategically placed to promote more speed.
