Pros
- The best value for money driver on the market in 2023.
- Great selection of quality shaft options.
- The head sits beautifully squre at aaddress.
-
Cons
- One set-up fits all drivers rarely suit everyone. The 0211 sits in the middle between a super forgiving and low spin driver so you don't quite get the absolute best of either world.
- RRP £229.00
What we say...
PXG’s new 0211 (2022) affordable, super versatile, mid-spin driver is set to be the best value-for-money big dog on the market in 2023.
The cost of many of the best golf drivers is now closer to £600 than £500, which is a level previously never reached by mass-market models in the UK. With costs spiraling and clubs likely to become unobtainable to many, PXG believe the time is right to relaunch their ‘affordable’ 0211 woods with substantially lower price tags than the competition.
So, with big-name drivers likely to set you back almost £600 next spring PXG’s new model sits at just £229, which in anybody’s book is incredible value for money and a level that many in the current climate are likely to find difficult to ignore.
Don’t be thinking lower prices means a dumbing down in materials or construction quality, PXG insist that just isn’t the case. The 0211 drivers have a full-on titanium construction, with Ti-811 body and Ti-412 face (both of which are advanced materials at this price) and PXG reckon the model is functional and affordable and is just as easy to hit as it to love.

What you need to know about the PXG 0211 (2022) driver
Better than the previous 0211 model
PXG love robot testing and showing data for how new additions to their range compared to previous models. Thanks to their research the brand reckon the new 0211 driver produces 1.6mph faster ball speeds which generates 5 yards extra distance over the previous 0211 model.
Strategic weighting
There’s always a performance difference between PXG’s premium and affordable models and if you pay less you generally sacrifice the brands’ MOI boosting weight tech. PXG say the new 0211 has plenty of strategic mass positioned around the perimeter of the head, so golfers can still expect a decent 5000+ MOI.
High-grade materials
There may be no carbon crown but the 0211 really isn’t low-tech. The Ti-811 body is lighter and stronger than typical 6-4 titanium which helps generate higher launch, and the special Ti-412 face is strong but flexible, which helps maximize face deflection and ball speed.
Thanks to PXG’s robotic polishing tech each face is also consistently on the USGA’s CT tolerance to ensure maximum face rebound.
Matching irons
If you fancy matching the 0211 driver to a set of irons, the hollow body 0211 XCOR2, which launched a little earlier this year, compliment the family beautifully. Currently, if you buy five or more their price nets down to £109 per club, which just like the woods is exceptional value for money.
There’s matching fairways and hybrids too
The story behind the 0211 fairway woods (£179) and hybrids (£159) is one of forgiveness. PXG say thanks to a new squarer toe design and steep side wall construction golfers can expect a decent reduction in dispersion. For the first time (to keep a handle on costs) both fairway and hybrid come with fixed hosels.
Verdict: PXG 0211 driver
A £200 RRP isn’t a price point for major driver brands any more. Costs have spiralled so much that prices in 2024 are often triple that, so what PXG have done in making their ‘affordable’ 0211 driver available for £199 is just remarkable. The full-body titanium 0211 is neither a low-spin nor forgiving model, but it sits neatly between the two. And for a wide audience of golfers that’s a really good set-up.
The 0211 was our best value-for-money driver in 2023, so it’s highly likely to be replaced with a newer model in 2024. So, if yo’re after bagging yourself a driver bargain I’d advise doing it quickly before this model disappears. Our 2024 test data has the model 5 yards back on our very longest forgiving driver, but for £200 you will not find a better driver on the market.
