Frequency Tuned Face
Engineered to vibrate in sync with the precise moment of ball compression, amplifying energy transfer and producing faster ball speeds. The result — more efficient strikes, longer drives, and that unmistakable PXG sound.
Adjustable Weights
Dial In Your Flight: Each Lightning Driver features PXG’s advanced Precision Weighting Technology, allowing fitters to reposition mass for tailored launch, spin, and shot-shape bias. With interchangeable weights from 2.5 g to 20 g, golfers can fine-tune feel and direction with precision.
Spined Sole Design
Stability That Speeds Up: A reinforced Spined Sole stiffens unwanted frequencies through the base of the driver, optimising energy return and keeping every gram working toward higher ball speed. The result is cleaner vibration, faster energy release, and PXG’s signature explosive feel.
More Carbon Where It Counts
Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio: A thin-wall carbon fibre crown and sole enable precise mass placement for optimised CG and launch conditions. Up to 84% more carbon in the Lightning chassis produces higher MOI, improved stability, and maximum forgiveness across all four head designs.
Proprietary Face Structure
Tuned for Precision and Power: Our proprietary face curvature fine-tunes directional performance to maintain optimal shot shape and control, even on off-centre hits.
Engineered for Exceptional Adjustability
Fine-Tune Your Trajectory: PXG Lightning Drivers feature a refined multi-port weight system for precise CG manipulation and shot bias tuning. By redistributing up to 20 grams of mass across heel, toe, and rear positions, fitters can optimise launch, spin, and direction – no trade-offs.
*Maximum back weight of 17.5g on Max 10K+
Toe Weight
Encourages fade bias and anti-hook control.
Back Weight
Maximises MOI for higher launch and greater forgiveness.
Heel Weight
Promotes draw bias and easier face closure.

PXG TOUR Pros
The first time I put the Lightning Driver in play, the ball speed jump was immediate. What stood out even more was how stable it felt. Even my slight misses held their line. It’s the most consistent driver I’ve had in competition.
— Christiaan Bezuidenhout, PGA TOUR Pro
The new Lightning Driver not only looks better, it’s faster. Ball speed is up across the face, it holds its line even when I miss it a little, and it’s got that clean PXG look at address. Honestly – this driver is just fun to hit.
— Eric Cole, PGA TOUR Pro
While testing the Lightning Driver, I noticed the major control upgrade within the first few swings. For me, I noticed a ball speed jump and a little lower spin. Overall I gained about 6 yards of carry, which sometimes equals 15–20 yards. Immediately went straight in the bag.
— Sebastian Cappelen, PGA TOUR Pro
