New fairway wood coming from PXG?
Is there a new fairway wood coming from PXG? At the BMW Championship, we captured photos of PXG Staffer Charles Howell III taking a look at a new club.
Unless you can see through bananas, it’s hard to tell what could be different about the new fairway wood. CHIII is interested, though. He was told he couldn’t take the fairway wood home for testing, so well keep an eye out for future PGA Tour range testing of the new club. See more photos.
In other PXG news, the company released a new game-improvement iron earlier this week called the 0311XF, which is currently being used as a 4-iron replacement for Charles Schwartzel.

What are the driver and shaft combinations of the best golfers in the world? For gearheads, it’s an endlessly interesting question — even if we can only ever aspire to play LS heads and 7 TX shafts.

Check out some of the most interesting combos below, then head to the GolfWRX forums for the rest, as well as the rest of our galleries from New Orleans.

I’ve hit the 0311 irons and honestly, I would love to have a set but, it wouldn’t be as much for performance as it would be for a status symbol. It felt great but, my Mizunos still feel better and softer. I have also hit the PXG driver. The PXG fitter told me to also bring my own driver (Titleist 913D2) which I did. Over an hour fitting and trying over 8 different shafts the fitter told me “I can’t sell you this, you hit your own driver much better, it just wouldn’t be right” I thanked him for his honesty and went on my way. The PXG driver looks great, feels great and I was prepared to purchase it on the spot but, for $800 dollars I guess I expected much more…This is not a slam on PXG by any means, They are beautiful, modern and very industrial looking. This is just my opinion and you really should try them for yourself.

Don’t speak to what you don’t know. The PXG line is absolutely off the charts and I know this for an absolute certainty. A forged iron that feels like butter and goes further than any cast iron on the market. What is not to like? The woods hit an extra apex in flight, again, whats not to like? The price point excludes many people but that’s no reason to trash the product. It’s the best equipment on the market and it’s really not even close.

Good grief. If it really is the best equipment on the market, then every pro would have them in their bag.

So your saying the ball in flight hits an apex and then another apex? C’mon, do yourself a favor and put the pipe down dude.

Really PXG….nobody cares enough about your i20 knockoff.
The Titleist and Cally fairways are all you ever need.
No need to hide a knockoff.
Ask Zach and Billy how well their PXG year has gone.
P(ropoganda), for X(tremely)and G(rossly)overpriced average golf clubs.
