VERDICT The 0811 and Cobra RAD Speed opened our eyes to how combining a reasonably lowspinning head with a decent-sized back weight can be really effective at getting the best of both worlds in terms of low spin and forgiveness. The 0811 performed brilliantly for our test pro; he loved the feel, the sound and how the mattblack head sets up at address, it’s a really good-looking driver. The X+ was our joint longest lowest spin driver at 279 yards. In its more forgiving set-up it was also just a single yard back from our longest traditional forgiving driver, which means it’s a versatile and powerful option. PXG drivers are now proven performers and, happily, they now come with much more sensible price tags.
