Wow pxg is having a good day this thing’s a monster it is an absolute monster better more of what I thought the Ping would do more balanced launch numbers 239 13 launch all right guys welcome back to the channel so a little bit of a difference today we don’t have my little

Sidekick to my right young Michael is on his vacation for round three of the bracket but we’re here we’re doing it we have a huge match on our hands we have pxg Black Ops t one of the heads I think you’ve heard us say that we’re most impressed with so far in

2024 pxg obviously come a long long way with their wood development this being the biggest move they’ve ever made in my opinion so this will be very very interesting against the 10K ping 10K the driver I think that everybody’s been talking about this year I would say mostly in a

Positive sense that it’s such a forgiven H model but this is the most interesting match so far in the bracket actually to be honest may be the most interesting match in any of the rounds of the bracket because we have the two ends of the spectrum even as a hold them right

Here you can see the sort of squat deep narrow sort of body of the pxg you’ve got the much much wider body of the 10K the footprint and we’ll overlay some some images I mean it’s drastic the physics behind sort of the two heads and and what they’re going to sort of uh

Return in the downrange sort of results so it will be fascinating to see because this is going to be a true test is accuracy the the the best way to sort of accumulate your your points in the bracket or is allout distance inside the

Grid the way to get it I think with the surprises and the shocks we saw last week with the King taads H sorry titles bowing out I think there’s maybe a little bit more accuracy involved in the bracket than some people uh maybe thought think people think distance is

The allout way to do it so we’re going to toss the coin Players Cup 20 2023 shout out to Brian and Mill we uh are going to do Players cup for pxg stream song logo for Ping okay players C for pxg is up first Black Ops

9° turn down to eight all drivers in the bracket are going to be playing around 8 degree plus or minus half a degree 8 and 1/2 to 7 and 1/2 is what they’ll all be set to a little high in the face but that could be that could be pretty good

Little opener for p XG High launch low spinner felt good solid it’s going to be a tough task for Ping today the pxg is having a good day this thing’s a monster it is an absolute monster that’s the thing cuz those first four have ended this match

Immediately like you can’t be that long and that straight and have any chance against that okay last one of set number one missed it do you know what this is a my sensation was I’ve I’ve missed that not good but it managed to spin amazingly

Well this is going to be tough tough if your name is Ping okay guys round one with the Ping I was not expecting pxg to be like that that was five good swings but five incredible results um I think in this test that is ultimately the driver that’s going to

Win this thing is going to have to do that now I was thinking today was going to be all about this being nice and tight not really more than I think last week was 12 and 15 yards of dispersion thinking this would be maybe a little

Bit tighter keep under 10 on the average and then the the distance lost by the amount of weight that’s in the back would be offset I just don’t know how it’s going to be able to keep up with how long and straight that pxg was but let’s see it was isn’t awful

But that’s that’s not your start okay better more of what I thought the Ping would do more balanc launch numbers 23 19 13 launch quite nice not bad again probably what I thought the Ping would do straight lines quite like it 307 is nothing to be sniffed at though that’s pretty good solid

Hit the Ping will stay online and stay in and it’ll kill it it will kill it spinny all right guys round one in the bank I could honestly would never have thought you could never have told me that the pxg would have turned up and

And been as straight and as as long as that like we said last week about the shcks and when you get these low spin models there there’s a chance of the freak ball I didn’t think there was going to be three or four of them in

There that were that good but I can honestly say I have seen that from this driver so far in testing so not a massive shock the Ping I thought done exactly what the Ping does there was three out there that exactly what I thought of 24

25 26 100 spin very good and amazingly quick for a driver again we talked at the very start about the size and proportions of these drivers this thing is built for Speed this thing is built for stability and accuracy minimize dispersion it is actually an engineering

Fe that this thing can match the the Black Ops for speed for ball speed output there was a few in there 60 69 ball speed 68 67 ball speed so I’ll be curious I haven’t haven’t really looked at the numbers I’m just going off of

What my gut tells me the initial sort of numbers were in the first set but this was remarkably stable but this thing is just a monster okay it can all change in round two though pxg needs to maintain its level I missed it missed it it’s G to stay in though it’s a

Counter some pretty good some pretty good carry numbers off of one I immediately knew I missed a little feed on it how good it’s a flat bomber not quite as accurate second time around which may open things up a little bit just as he says that Center Line getting one more

Try hit that one a we bit harder I kind of missed the strike low in the head but 171 ball there’s four balls around that pin I’d be pretty confident of knocking in for a two that’s impressive all right little ping I’m sorry to have to do this to you

But you’re going to have to goal that you’ve never went before bxg is set the bar High I’m going to swing for the fenes five times in a row and just hope that the absolute five fastest swings I can make are enough to to at least give this a fighting chance so

I’ll offer that we got to give the oh that’s staying in okay it’s pretty good how many have we got to go three got to be three like that I’m literally trying to hit the highest low spin balls that I possibly can to give this any kind of chance

Angle attack there seven up on it but I have no I don’t have any choice if this is going to have any kind of chance in the match but those last two have got to be big helpers it’s going to go off line but I hit it good

Ah 300 still good still a good average last one come on pretty good pretty straight wee bit High go go okay guys um that was a fascinating test didn’t really play out as I thought it would be in the true sense of distance versus accuracy the pxe just got off to start

Like I would never have imagined like we said uh there was a couple balls in there 323 distance 6 offline 321 total 1.1 offline I mean when you just have that that it goes that far and it’s that straight in this format is very very difficult so I think most people

Watching probably know the outcome but let’s do the formalities ping averaged 310.50 n it was 13.37 offline on average the total was 297.00 right not even remark remotely close but the pxg was eight and a half yards longer on average and four yards straighter on average so

30937 I think strion beat Titus last last week with a a average of like 291 something along those lines that is something else and to be honest I have like I said at the very start I have seen that from this driver in testing so far this year I’m on

Testing little bit of kind of golf I’ve been playing in the Sim when I’ve been using that Black Ops tour it is long and very very straight lots of people watching lots of you will be watching saying well really you should have done Black Ops versus 10K Max I totally get

It the whole thing about the bracket is guys we’re trying to sort of test models against one another for the characteristics that they’re best at and known for 10K will go down probably is the most stable driver head ever BlackOps is trying toab establish itself as a high performing fast sort of high

Launch low spin you know animal pxg is first in my opinion truly high high high end challenging anything else in the market performing driver so I love the contrast in in in what both of those drivers offered that’s why I was most intrigued about this uh match

Itself huge props to Ping I you know I’m I’m not just saying this just as all Pat in the head to to average 310.50 n on on the GS Pro grid which doesn’t it doesn’t give you the same sort of distance that the the quad launch monitor does it actually is quite

A bit shorter probably seven eight yards shorter than you would see so to average 310 on distance 310 and a half is amazing but 319 is is uh is even better so the pxg Black Ops tour advances into the semi-final it will come up against I believe Callaway who knocked out Muno in

The the first round the last remaining uh matches of the the first round we have another heavyweight match torid versus Cobra Qi 10 core versus dark speed LS I think that’s going to be not as big of a a difference in terms of head characteristics is this but again a

Little bit of this is it the the the sheer speed and sort of distance of the the dark speed LS versus the balance of the qi1 core we’re going to find out stay tuned for more and we’ll see you again Soon

  1. I love PXG as a brand and am glad to see them getting some brilliant product out there. From there 0317 irons getting phenomenal reviews and now to back it up with the black ops driver is a bloody good news story in my books.

  2. Let's not ignore the fact that Ping blew out everyone else in the bracket. Great showing for both products and amazing job by Ian with the solo video.

  3. the 10k max is still a better head. however the black ops tour falls under a different category than the 10k by design. lst or reg max would be a fair fight.

  4. This bracket is absolutely tremendous. Hats off to you guys and in this round PXG. Black Ops is soon to go in the bag. I absolutely loved the feel and my numbers were outstanding. Well done here. This is fun. 👍🏻

  5. Ian is about to make these drivers battle it out like it's the ultimate driver showdown! May the best club win!

  6. I guess Mikey had enough of the needling , left the room momentarily after the kerfuffle leaving Ian alone for this one😂

  7. Nice to see PXG earning more respect and recognition, too bad they don’t also come in at a lower price than the “big three” as it would be good to give them some more competition and maybe help pull driver prices back down a bit. Got fitted into the normal Black Opps driver a few weeks ago and I like the adjustability it offers with the three head weights.

  8. PXG has to be given credit for pressing the envelope. They appear to have a really good team in both their R&D and Marketing. Parsons, regardless of what you might think of his in your face approach at selling his products, does in fact deliver with the engineers he has on board. I have a few mixed sets of Mizuno and PXG but woods were always Ping because of the obvious forgiveness and distance in the hands of a 72 year old. PXG is right there now and may need to make up a full bag of 0311s, combo XPs and Ps that I already have 6 – 9. I prefer Mizuno in the wedges. Golf…. what a wild ride !!!

  9. Dam it… I ordered some Gen5 irons and really like them.. I’m not in love with my Driver, and every review I see on the new black ops has me wanting to try it.. just don’t have the extra 600.00 for a Driver atm

  10. Why are the next brackets not both LS models rather than the qi10 vs dark speed LS? I don’t get the logic?

  11. can you add the final distances to the bracket under the club so we can compare the numbers each time its updated and shown?

  12. I've followed the channel since its inception, and I don't think we have EVER seen a performance like this! The Ping flat out would have blown out every other driver so far, yet this round was over almost as soon as it started. Only way this PXG driver doesn't win is if you somehow lose your swing mid-round. "AMF technology" is really beginning to mean Adios Mother F…. 😂

  13. Ian I love these videos so much, the only thing I would like to see added, if possible, is when you put the final scores on the screen, you could include the avg distance and avg offline numbers on the screen to give a better feel of the character of each driver and how the final score came to be what it is. Keep up the great work, and thanks for doing these brackets!

  14. I think you should pull an audible and put the triple diamond in there in place of the max lol
    Thanks for the videos!

  15. Love the channel and watch every video but not sure why these two were paired up in the same bracket. Would have made more sense to me to pair up the ping 10k with the TM max. I think this was a missed opportunity to see the two 10K models battle it out and maybe come across a low spin tour head later in the bracket.

  16. Love the content! Would love to see Mikey do the bracket challenge to see how the results would differ with the different swing speeds

  17. Good video, not accurate as a test. That black ops has 3 loft configs on the serial: a= less than stated, B= stated, c= more than stated. In addition it was fit at PXG likely with Hot melt positioned for your specific needs. Better test would be either a total headweight matched comp or one with the pxg B stock head. Just my 2cents
