PXG introduces high-MOI, adjustable Operator putter
Joining the Drone and Gunboat on the high-MOI mallet-style putter end of the spectrum, PXG is launching its highest MOI putter to date: the Operator.
With a maximum head mass of 400 grams, depending on weight adjustments, the Operator features a soft billet-milled 304 stainless steel face and a body made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum.
PXG made the Operator for those seeking advanced customization and maximum forgiveness. Multiple sole weights, available in increments of 2.5g, 5g, 10g, 15g and 20g, can be used to adjust the overall head mass.
Regarding the name: “Operator” is the specific term for Delta’s operational personnel, although in recent years it has become a term for almost all U.S. military special forces.
The putter is available in three models.
Operator
The double-bend hosel style creates a full shaft of offset with a face-balanced hang angle. Built for players with a straight-back-straight-through stroke.
Operator H
The hosel neck is heel-shafted with a half shaft of offset and mid toe-down hang angle. Built for players with more face rotation in their stroke.
Operator P
The plumber’s neck shaft creates a full shaft of offset with a slightly toe-down hang angle. Built for players with a moderate amount of face rotation in their stroke.
All Operator models feature PXG’s proprietary TPE honeycomb sole insert and a TPE insert behind the face to dampen vibrations and enhance feel.
$450 retail.

Why do these guys always make claims they can’t back up? Maltby had a much bigger and higher MOI putter about 10 years ago. It was about the size of a pie pan and weighed a ton.

It’s got lots of ‘jacks’… if you know what I mean.

Why aren’t they telling us what the MOI is of the putter?
It must not be very impressive.
alvin
May 19, 2018 at 12:52 pm
When you got a big black putter hanging there in your hands MOI is irrelevant… it’s biig !!

Using this putter in my group is a punchable offense………

Ever since I got an Operator P, I am more potent on the greens and get my ball into the hole more often… it’s such a juicy feeeling … 😎

It will cost you $20 for a tryout.. and if you buy it will be credited to the sale.

Surprised that this thing only cost $450, figured it would cost at least $750.
lance
May 18, 2018 at 1:26 pm
With sales tax it cost me $495…. and it’s worth twice that with all the action I get on the greens with the ball going into the hole.. 😮

I don’t understand PXG’s theme for putters. When you look at their drivers, hybrids, irons, etc… they all look great at address. Clean and simple.
Then you get to the putters – screws everywhere, funky designs. Not exactly easy to look at. I don’t get it. I’m all for the tech and the screw-weighting, just don’t understand why it’s visible at address on the putters.

Corny, ugly. Pretty much the same as the rest of PXG’s gear.
Probably putts well, though.
