PXG adds 0311X driving irons to lineup
PXG’s 0311X driving irons have become a popular option with the company’s PGA Tour players in recent months, landing in the bags of Charl Schwartzel, Billy Horschel and Charles Howell III. Now they’re available to all golfers looking to add more horsepower to the top of their iron set.
Like PXG’s 0311XF, 0311, and 0311T irons, the 0311X driving irons have a thin-face, hollow-body construction that’s filled with a thermoplastic elastomer material to improve ball speed, consistency, and feel. The low-spin clubs have wide soles, but they target better players with a minimal amount of offset and a low center of gravity that’s positioned closer to the shaft axis to help create less dynamic loft at impact. The result is a low-spin trajectory that can maximize distance, as well as be a fairway finder for golfers off the tee.
“The 0311X looks incredible at address,” says Billy Horschel. “It really suits my eye. Off the tee, it launches low with little spin, which helps me avoid getting into some hairy spots on the course.”
The PXG 0311X driving irons are available in five lofts and will sell for $350 in the company’s chrome finish, $450 per club with the company’s special Xtreme Dark finish.

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

I actually got fit into a set of PXG’s. Great sticks. Not for everyone. You have to get fit and buy what’s best for your game and swing. Varies for each person. As a side note, lot’s of haters on this site who have probably never even hit a PXG club before. Don’t knock it till you try it.

Will be little more than a status brand until they can start winning regularly on the PGA and LPGA tours.

1 iron all the way. Just want to have this sitting in my bag because I am a snob and have the cash. Otherwise it will make me look like a pro. Cheers.

Amazed at all the people coveting these clubs purely on looks and branding. Pick one up, swing it, hit balls with it then decide if you want to pay $350-$450 on it. No one’s going to be impressed you’ve got PXG gear unless you can actually use it.

Too cheap and pedestrian for me. Only Japanese Tour World Elite Extreme clubs will do. $10,000 or more per club.

Take out the screws and replace it with steel and you have a $100 club. PXG are screwy status clubs for people with more money than brains. PXG must be paying the pros mucho $$$$$$ and that’s why the prices are so inflated.

So where did they get all that money if they dont have any brains???
Its all relative – to some people $1200 Mizuno’s are a status symbol. I know several people who have PXG and all of them bought for performance – the SL63 is for status

Little offset. Isn’t this going to make it hard for the say 5 to 7 handicap and above to hit?

I suppose if you poach the ping designers your going to get clubs that look like….
There are so many cheaper clubs that look so much better. Are they really much better or is it just an expensive badge?
Not for me.

Ive played AP2, Apex CF16, S56, MP 59 and others I know I am forgetting – none of them felt as good or has as consistent dispersion on distance. Not as long as the Callaways, but far better feel

For better and faster speed players – great alternative if you don’t want the 0311XF – which I like quite a bit.
