SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (February 15, 2024) – Hot on the heels of its highly-anticipated Black Ops launch, PXG is once again ready to put its money where its mouth is with the official deployment of the Black Ops Driver ChallengeTM. The PXG Black Ops Driver Challenge invites all golf enthusiasts – both PXG Troops® and critics – to bring their current driver to a free fitting for a head-to-head, knockout event. If the PXG® 0311® Black OpsTM Driver is longer in total distance or has a tighter dispersion, PXG wins. If not, PXG will issue a $100 Rewards Card — no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

"Our R&D department has gone above and beyond with these babies, and I'm proud to say PXG Black Ops Drivers stand tall as one of most versatile, high-performing clubs on the market. I'm confident that our new, breakthrough technology will knockout the competition, and if we don't, I am happy to pony up," said PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons.

This new challenge follows an incredibly successful 0311® GEN6 Driver Challenge issued last year. The event saw PXG square off against 44 different brands in the hands of more than 2,200 participants. The result was that the 0311 GEN6 Driver came out victorious 93% of the time, beating each and every of the 44 brands it came up against.

“The results of the last driver challenge were very impressive but didn’t surprise us. We’ve always known PXG makes outstanding equipment,” Bob Parsons added.

ABOUT PXG 0311 BLACK OPS DRIVERS 
PXG 0311 Black Ops Drivers introduce cutting-edge technologies and new materials that help players of all abilities hit it long and straight with more consistency than ever before. The new AMFTM (Advanced Material Face) Technology optimized with a variable thickness design delivers increased ball speed for more distance. The non-uniform bulge and roll face design refined and manufactured consistently through robotic polishing to strategically adjust the horizontal and vertical curvatures across the face. This supports enhanced forgiveness and improves overall performance by optimizing the club's reaction to off-center hits. 

A new 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.

The 0311 Black Ops Drivers are available in two head designs. The Black Ops Driver is geared toward a wide range of players. It presents a high launch, low-spin option that delivers unmatched ball speed, distance, and exceptional forgiveness for optimum performance. The Black Ops Tour-1 Driver is a tour-inspired head design featuring a taller face with a more curved crown to create an aggressive look at address. Engineered to unlock maximum distance with a penetrating ball flight, this driver is geared toward more advanced players seeking outstanding ball speed, distance, and extremely low spin performance.
