2019 PXG 0311 ST: Precision defined in a fully milled iron
After a lot of speculation, including by yours truly, it’s official: Parsons Xtreme Golf is releasing the fully milled 2019 PXG 0311 ST irons to the public in 2019.
Known for its meticulous engineering and manufacturing processes, the company is taking it to the next level with the introduction of the 2019 PXG 0311 ST irons. Building off the success of the milled wedges, the ST (Super Tour) irons are 100 percent milled from a triple-forged billets of 8620 soft carbon steel.
The strong, yet “soft” 8620 helps prolong the life of the grooves compared to other softer steels often used by other manufacturers, and it sacrifices nothing when it comes to feel or performance. Since they are milled start to finish, the human element for error has been eliminated—every surface, curve, and draft angle are produced to exacting specifications to ensure each and every iron head built exactly as it should be.
Even though the 2019 PXG 0311 ST is a pure blade iron, it still features PXG’s signature Perimeter Weighting Technology, which utilizes small tungsten screws around the perimeter of the head. All of this in a smaller package with a narrow sole, and compact heel-to-toe blade length for added workability.
Compared to every other iron in the PXG lineup, the 2019 PXG 0311 ST Blade has the highest CG (center of gravity) to offer better players lower launch and more spin—the type of control demanded by the best players in the world.
Although you won’t be able to just walking into a retailer and grab a set off the wall, PXG is offering golfers the opportunity to reserve their set beginning August 12th.
2019 PXG 0311 ST availability, price
Each set of 100 percent milled custom will be built from scratch and priced at $650 a stick. Based on the time involved, sets are expected to start shipping in late September.

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 love that companies are skyrocketing prices while moving towards 8620 carbon steel and then trying to convince you that it’s better. PING Blueprint, PXG (any of them), and maybe others all using a cheaper, harder steel and yet charging you out the nose for it. At these prices these should be fully milled from 1015 carbon steel.

I loved the look of these back in late 90’s when Mizuno released them as the “T-Zoid True” irons. Golf has become nothing more than people copying past designs, slapping a premium price on it and calling it innovative.

Deron, I agree with you I play PXG Woods but these irons looks so much like irons from years past. What amazing each manufactures say each new set of iron made will add another 5-10 yds to game. With all the new set of clubs that I have owned over the years my carry distance should be 500 yards for irons and at least a 1000 with wood. YEA Right

Can someone try and explain to be why, after a millennia of ‘hand made’ being a selling point, they’re using a CNCd block of a metal as a justification for a super premium price point?

I never understood how Bob Parsons could bring out an iron that only sponsored players or top winning players could afford. Now he’s trying to reach out to us average joes…not sure where that’s going. If it has PGX name on it…you will need a second mortgage to pay for it. Nobody makes golf clubs that expensive other than Miura and PXG!

I bought a set of Miuras that were 9.5 mint and never hit from 2nd Swing for $650, they perform amazing and feel amazing. I can’t see ever spending the same for one club.

Pushing the boundaries of how expense can we make a chunk of metal at the end of shaft to new limits. Congratulations PXG!
