PXG updates its mini driver with the Secret Weapon 2
PXG has introduced the Secret Weapon 2 mini driver, an update that adds speed to a club built to be a second option at the top of the bag.
PXG has launched the Secret Weapon 2 mini driver, according to a report from GOLF. The report frames the club as a new tool for players who want a purpose-built second club at the top of the bag, and says the update is focused on added speed. Read the full report.
The mini driver is a niche category that sits between the full-size driver and the fairway wood. Players generally use it as a tee option when they want a different look or flight than the driver gives them. PXG's decision to build a second generation points to steady interest in that role. A speed-focused update suggests PXG wants the club to compete with the driver on distance, not just serve as a fallback.

The wire item gives few details beyond the positioning. Specifications, pricing and release timing are not covered in the material GNN has, so those are worth checking before drawing conclusions about where the club fits in PXG's lineup.
For golfers considering a 14th-club change, the question is simple. Does the Secret Weapon 2 add enough ball speed and playability to earn a spot over a fairway wood or a second driver setup? Independent testing and launch monitor data will answer that.
