“GEN2 0341 X fairway - low, penetrating flight. Rung-standard.”
The 0341 X GEN2 fairway wood bucked the industry trend toward ever-larger fairway heads, staying compact at address while chasing forgiveness through internals rather than footprint: a variable-thickness carbon-fiber crown, a TPE honeycomb insert, and PXG's usual battery of weight screws (two in the heel, two in the toe, four along the leading edge) for draw, fade, spin or stability tuning. Reviewers liked the sound — a high-pitched fairway-wood 'tink' layered with a stronger 'crack' — and confirmed it was both cheaper and better-performing than the GEN1 model it replaced. The catch was launch: testing found the 3-wood didn't get the ball airborne easily and fell short of optimal launch conditions, a real limitation for a fairway wood whose whole job is getting long shots up in the air.
No cult standing — it is a solid, camera-ready PXG product with a genuine launch-angle weakness flagged by reviewers, the opposite of the flaw-free reputation a cult classic accumulates. It settled into the used market as an ordinary secondhand fairway wood.
Better ball-strikers who want a compact fairway-wood look at address, strong ball speed, and heavy tunability via the weight-screw system, and who already generate enough speed/angle of attack to launch the ball without help. Higher handicappers or slower swingers who struggle to get fairway woods airborne should look elsewhere — this is not the easy-launching option in PXG's own lineup.
Released 2018 against Callaway Rogue, TaylorMade M4 and Titleist 917/818 fairway woods, most of which were sized and marketed toward higher launch and forgiveness. GEN2 replaced the GEN1 0341 X fairway wood at a lower price while reviewers judged it the better performer of the two.
Reviewers praised ball speed and the extensive weight-screw tunability, but explicitly noted the head 'doesn't launch the ball easily' and the 3-wood fell short of optimal launch in testing — a real forgiveness limitation for players who need help getting the ball airborne, which keeps this below the 7-8 band typical of forgiveness-first fairway woods.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used GEN2 0341 X fairway woods sell cheaply given the age and the documented launch-angle weakness — typically $80-150 in 2026 on the private market; discount retailers have listed clearance units as low as roughly $110, reinforcing that this is a budget-tier used buy rather than a sought-after piece.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
