Who They’re For: Golfers looking for more distance and forgiveness off the tee and from the turf.
The Skinny: PXG uses multiple materials, including new stainless steel alloys and moveable weights, to boost forgiveness and let players tweak the launch angle and spin rate of its latest hybrids.

The Deep Dive: Some hybrids are designed to be long-iron replacements for golfers who prefer irons but know they need more forgiveness, height and distance than their 3-iron or 4-iron can deliver. Other players see them as an extension of their fairway woods, acting like a bridge club to their first iron. With the release of the new PXG Black Ops hybrids, the Scottsdale, Arizona-based company has made a club loaded with the same technologies and features found in the Black Ops fairways but in a traditional hybrid shape.
The Black Ops are made with a new high-strength stainless steel alloy in the face that PXG said is stronger than other steels used in hybrids. This allowed designers to make the hitting area thinner and lighter, which in turn helps it to be more flexible at impact.
And like the Black Ops fairway woods, the hybrids feature a compression-molded carbon fiber crown that reduces weight and lowers the center of gravity.
In the sole of the Black Ops hybrids, golfers will see three adjustable screws that can be moved into different locations to modify the club’s performance. Each Black Ops hybrid comes with a 12-gram weight in the back port and 2.5-gram weights in the heel and toe to maximize forgiveness and help create more spin and a higher launch. Moving the heavier weight to the heel will create a draw bias, while adding it to the toe port will encourage a fade.
To help golfers find a club that hits shots to the ideal distance, PXG has made the Black Ops with an adjustable hosel that can increase or decrease the loft by as many as 1.5 degrees and raise or lower the lie angle.
