PXG has unveiled the next evolution of its Secret Weapon Mini Driver, a compact 300cc club designed to offer driver distance with fairway wood control. The new model incorporates technologies from PXG’s Lightning lineup, including a face more than 4 percent thinner than its predecessor, refined internal sole structure, and optimized weighting to generate faster ball speeds and tighter dispersion.
The thinner face allows greater deflection at impact, resulting in more efficient energy transfer and faster ball speeds across a larger portion of the face. PXG engineers used advanced finite element analysis to refine the internal sole structure, reinforcing areas that needed support while redistributing saved mass to the perimeter. This increases moment of inertia, helping the clubhead resist twisting and preserve distance and directional control on off-center strikes. A lightweight carbon fiber crown further allows additional mass to sit lower and deeper in the clubhead.
“The thinner face and refined sole structure work together,” said Caleb Kroloff, PXG Director of Woods Research & Development. “We reinforced the areas that needed support and moved saved weight to the perimeter. That helps us deliver more speed with more consistent performance when golfers miss the center of the face.”
PGA TOUR professional Jake Knapp, who previously used the original Secret Weapon, praised the new version. “The original Secret Weapon was my favorite club in the bag, so I had high expectations for this one,” Knapp said. “I absolutely love it. It has everything I liked about the original, with more speed and forgiveness. Putting it in the bag was an easy decision.”
The club also features PXG’s Precision Weighting Technology with four adjustable weight locations in the sole at the heel, toe, front, and back. Initially equipped with two 7.5-gram weights and two 2.5-gram weights, the system enables golfers to fine-tune shot shape, spin, and swing weight. An adjustable hosel provides additional control over launch and trajectory. The Secret Weapon Mini Driver is offered in right- and left-handed configurations with 13 degrees of loft and a standard length of 43.25 inches.
For golfers seeking a versatile club that bridges the gap between driver and fairway wood, the new Secret Weapon could offer a compelling option. The combination of a thinner face, perimeter weighting, and adjustable weights aims to provide distance and forgiveness without sacrificing workability. As the golf equipment market continues to emphasize customization and performance, PXG’s latest offering may appeal to players looking to optimize their long game. To learn more, visit www.PXG.com.
