2024 Drivers

Prepare for Spring

Get In THE Game

PXG Black Ops Driver
Next on the hot list is the new PXG 0311 Black Ops . The name alone is tantalizing . Oh , no , he ’ s pulling the Black Ops out of the bag –– stand back , everyone ! In November , Eric Cole — the praised “ soon-tobe PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year ,” was seen using a PXG ’ s 0311 Black Ops prototype . Cole reported to GOLF . com , “ I ’ ve been testing them for a little bit now . I got one in my bag right now that I ’ m seriously considering playing . They ’ re very forgiving , and you ’ re getting a little bit more speed ( 2-3 mph ) in my case . It ’ s kind of an easy thing if you ’ re getting more speed , and they ’ re just as forgiving that I ’ m using now , which is an older PXG driver ; it kind of makes a lot of sense to play it ,” he said . “ The one that I ’ m using is probably 2 or 3 miles an hour faster ball speed , which is enough to make a difference . There ’ s actually some of the other ones that aren ’ t quite as forgiving that are even faster than that . A lot of the new models , the new stuff they have is great .” Worthy of a look !
TaylorMade Qi10 LS Driver
TaylorMade ’ s Qi10 LS driver
Rounding out the show ’ s hot list of new goodies to try is TaylorMade ’ s Qi10 LS driver . No , it ’ s not an Infiniti Q car , but it is just as classy !
TaylorMade ’ s new Qi10 LS driver reportedly made its TOUR debut at DP World Tour ’ s season-long Race to Dubai event , where Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood used the low-spin Qi10 model for the first time . However , they were tight-lipped about the club . Nevertheless , based on photos taken at the event of the word “ Carbon ” seen on the face indicate TaylorMade ’ s renowned carbon face technology is returning for 2024 . There ’ s also a visible light-silver line across the upper face area , like the alignment aide TaylorMade implemented with its Stealth fairway metals a few years back . Worth noting , McIlroy ultimately won the DP World Tour ’ s season-long Race for the second year in a row . If you ’ re a TaylorMade fan , the new Qi10 LS driver could be the ticket to winning more skins in 2024 .
See and test drive these and many other brands at this year ’ s Kansas City Golf Show .
