Mini drivers have attracted a lot of attention from professionals and top amateurs for the simple reason while they may not hit the ball as far as their gamer driver Mini’s are much more accurate with the added bonus of being low-loft fairway wood.
PXG’s new version of their Secret Weapon model has a one-third smaller head than the usual driver, is almost three inches shorter and a strong 3-wood loft.
The company says due to a reconfigured internal sole design the face is 4% thinner than the previous model, which allows for additional impact flexing and more ball speed is possible. The weight saved from the face and the use of carbon fiber in the crown was repositioned to increase the MOI or resistance to twisting for better control.
The sole weights (2-7.5g, 2-2.5), front-back-heel-toe, may be switched around to provide the shot shape desired and the launch is tweaked with adjusting the hosel.
“The thinner face and refined sole structure work together,” said Caleb Kroloff, PXG Director of Woods Research & Development. “We reinforced the areas that needed support and moved saved weight to the perimeter. That helps us deliver more speed with more consistent performance when golfers miss the center of the face.”
