When it comes to dialing in your long game, the PXG Secret Weapon—a mini driver engineered for ultimate versatility and performance— may just be the missing piece in your arsenal.
  

But is it right for your playing style? Let’s explore who should consider putting this innovative club in play and how it differs from a traditional driver or a 3-wood. 

Who Benefits Most From a Mini Driver?

Players Who Struggle With Driver Accuracy 
If you’ve ever battled with keeping your driver in play off the tee, the Secret Weapon might be your new best friend. With a more compact 300cc head, it offers greater control and tighter dispersion compared to a full-sized driver. This translates into straighter shots and more fairways hit—ideal for players who tend to slice or hook their drives. 

Those Seeking a Reliable Tee Club Without Sacrificing Distance 
Some players may find that the Secret Weapon bridges the gap between the driver and 3-wood. It offers the penetrating ball flight and distance of a driver but in a more forgiving and confidence-inspiring package. 

Versatile Players Who Need a Multi-Tool Club 
Unlike a traditional driver, which is typically confined to tee shots, the Secret Weapon is engineered for versatility. Its tighter leading edge and higher MOI make it easier to hit off the deck than most drivers, making it a go-to choice for long second shots or challenging lies.

Golfers Who Want a Club That Adjusts to Their Game 
The precision weighting system allows for easy adjustability, giving players the ability to tailor spin, trajectory, and draw/fade bias to suit their swing. Whether you’re looking to enhance forgiveness or maximize your distance, the Secret Weapon adapts to meet your needs.

How Is a Mini Driver Different From a Driver or 3-Wood? 

SIZE & PROFILE 

  • Driver: With a typical head size of 460cc, drivers offer maximum forgiveness and distance. 
  • Mini Driver (Secret Weapon): At 300cc, the Secret Weapon is smaller and more compact than a traditional driver, offering better control while maintaining significant power. Its larger face area (44% larger than the PXG Black Ops 3-Fairway) ensures a bigger sweet spot for added forgiveness. 
  • 3-Wood: Fairway woods typically have smaller profiles (around 180–210cc), making them better suited for shots off the turf. 

DISTANCE AND TRAJECTORY 

  • Driver: Built for maximum carry and total distance with a higher trajectory. 
  • Mini Driver: Designed for a penetrating ball flight with low spin, providing a balance between distance and accuracy. 
  • 3-Wood: Offers a higher ball flight and less total distance compared to the mini driver, making it a better choice for soft landings on long approach shots. 

VERSATILITY 

  • Driver: Primarily a tee club due to its larger size and lower lofts. 
  • Mini Driver: Combines driver-like distance with fairway-wood versatility, making it effective off the tee and the turf. 
  • 3-Wood: Preferred for shots from the deck with less overall roll out.  

Why Choose the PXG Secret Weapon? 

The PXG Secret Weapon is not just a mini driver—it’s a game-changer for those who value control, power, and adaptability. Here’s why it stands out: 

  • Unmatched Stability: Its high MOI design enhances forgiveness and ensures stability on every swing. 
  • Explosive Distance: The ultra-thin titanium face maximizes ball speed and energy transfer, delivering superior distance gains. 
  • Adjustability: The four-weight system allows players to fine-tune CG placement, spin, and bias. 
  • Versatility: Engineered for performance both off the tee and from the fairway, it’s an all-around solution for challenging courses.
