The Disruptors, Episode 2: The PXG putter fitting experience
In my opinion, who fits you is more important then what you get fit into. The PXG putter fitting is, as you would expect, full of tech, gadgets, visual stimulus, and everything else the Scottsdale-based company is known for.
What I found to be the most interesting part of the fitting, however, was the science-based knowledge of Caleb Kroloff. It was like getting fit by a rocket scientist! After getting the full rundown of the Gen2 experience, Caleb pointed out something I never knew about my putting stroke and something that will stay with me for a long time.
Yes, this video is a putter fitting, which is by nature 300 clicks short of an Avenger flick, but as someone who is always been keen on finding a putter I’m emotionally attached to, getting schooled by a smart kid on the facts was quite the eye-opener.
Hope you enjoy the video.

GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.
In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.
With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.
- 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
- Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
- Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
- Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.

I have never been fitted with a putter even though I routinely undergo fitting for the rest of the clubs in my bag. This video convinced me to give a putter fitting a try.
