Low HCP

The PXG Lightning Tour is the most compact and workable driver in the Lightning lineup, designed for low-handicap players who demand shot-shaping control and a penetrating, low-spin ball flight. The Frequency Tuned Face synchronizes face vibration with ball compression for PXG's fastest ball speeds ever, while 84% more carbon fiber than the previous generation stiffens the crown and sole to redirect mass behind the face. Precision Weighting Technology with three weight ports (two 7.5g front, one 2.5g rear) enables up to 20g of total mass shift for extreme spin and trajectory customization.
