Tour Driver

PXG built the Secret Weapon for the shot most golfers dread: the tee ball on a tight par 4 where a driver is too much club and a 3-wood off the deck feels like a coin flip. It is a mini driver, so the head sits between a standard driver and a 3-wood in size. You get more forgiveness and ball speed than a fairway wood, but a shorter shaft and smaller footprint than a 460cc driver, which makes it easier to find the middle.

The 2025 version leans into control. This is a Tour-oriented club, and PXG did not soften it to chase the widest possible audience. Mini drivers reward players who already deliver the club reasonably well, and the Secret Weapon is no exception. Tee it low and it plays like a heavy, penetrating driver. Hit it off the fairway and the compact head and lower profile actually cooperate, which is the whole point of the category.

Adjustability is the other half of the pitch. The hosel lets you dial loft and face angle, so you can set it up as a low-spin bomber for firm fairways or open it slightly for a fade you can lean on. It is not a replacement for a driver in every bag, but for a certain kind of player it solves a real problem off the tee.

• You spray the driver on tight holes and want a shorter, more controllable club that still carries respectable distance.
• You already strike the ball well and don't need maximum forgiveness, but you do want a lower, more penetrating flight off the tee.
• You want one club that can be teed up on par 4s and also hit off the deck on long par 5s.
• You like tinkering with loft and face angle to match course conditions instead of setting a club once and forgetting it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PXG Secret Weapon a driver or a fairway wood?

It is a mini driver, which sits between the two. The head is smaller than a standard 460cc driver but bigger and taller than a 3-wood, and it plays on a shorter shaft than a full driver. Think of it as a control-first tee club that can also be hit off the fairway.

Can you hit the Secret Weapon off the deck?

Yes. The lower, more compact profile is designed for it, which is a big reason to carry a mini driver over a second driver. It is easier off the ground than a full driver, though a dedicated fairway wood will still be more forgiving on that specific shot.

Should I replace my 3-wood or my driver with it?

Most players use it to replace a 3-wood or a driver they can't keep in play on tight holes. If your driver misses cost you rounds, the Secret Weapon's shorter length and smaller head give you a more findable tee ball without dropping all the way down to a fairway wood.

What does the adjustable hosel actually change?

It lets you tune loft and face angle. Lower loft and a squarer or slightly closed face help you flatten out a low, driver-style flight, while adding loft or opening the face gives you a higher launch or a fade bias. Set it to fight your typical miss.

Who should skip the Secret Weapon?

If you need maximum forgiveness and struggle to find the center of the face, a game-improvement driver or a forgiving fairway wood will serve you better. This is a Tour-leaning club that rewards decent contact rather than hiding poor strikes.

Is the PXG Secret Weapon driver good for high handicappers?

No. The PXG Secret Weapon is a tour design aimed at better ball strikers. Its category typically suits 0 to 8 handicaps. High handicappers will find a game improvement model more forgiving.
