PXG Unveils the New PXG Black Ops Ultra Lite Driver — A Game-Changer for Golfers Seeking Speed and Forgiveness
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – PXG, the world-class golf equipment and apparel company, has expanded its award-winning PXG Black Ops Collection with the introduction of the PXG® Black Ops® Ultra Lite Driver. This exceptional new offering is engineered to benefit amateur golfers with slower swing speeds. The result: a much lighter club that is easy to swing and for many players easier to swing faster!
The PXG Black Ops Ultra Lite Driver features a lightweight design with a clubhead mass of 189 grams, which is 14 grams lighter than the standard PXG Black Ops Driver. The clubhead mass is also adjustable between 179 grams and 196.5 grams leveraging PXG’s signature Precision Weighting Technology. With a single rear weight port, this driver has a deeper center of gravity (CG) that increases both forgiveness and consistency and enhances stability.
The new driver also features PXG’s proprietary AMF (Advanced Material Face) Technology. Optimized with a variable thickness design, the face delivers increased ball speed for more distance. The non-uniform bulge and roll face design is refined and manufactured consistently through robotic polishing to adjust the horizontal and vertical curvatures across the face strategically. This face design supports enhanced forgiveness and improves overall performance by optimizing the club’s reaction to off-center hits.
A high-strength composite body construction manufactured from high-grade carbon fiber using a sophisticated compression molding process helps improve weight distribution within the clubhead to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) and push the center of gravity (CG) lower and further back.
With the addition of the new PXG Black Ops Ultra Lite Driver, the PXG Black Ops Driver Collection now includes three head designs tailored to a wide range of players. The original PXG Black Ops Driver delivers a high launch, low-spin option, ensuring unmatched ball speed and exceptional forgiveness for optimum performance. The PXG Black Ops Tour-1 Driver features a tour-inspired head design with a taller face and a more curved crown, creating an aggressive look and maximizing distance with a penetrating ball flight for advanced players. The new PXG Black Ops Ultra Lite Driver rounds out the award-winning collection with a lightweight design that appeals to golfers looking to add both speed and forgiveness to their game off the tee.
“Whether you play like a pro or an average Joe, we’re committed to having a high-performance setup that will help you play your best and have a good time,” said PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons. “The expansion of the PXG Black Ops Driver Collection to include a lightweight option is case in point. There are a lot of players out there who will benefit from this clubhead design, and we’re thrilled to give them what they need.”
