$650 wedges: PXG Sugar Daddy 0311 and Forged 0311 wedges for 2020

Published

2020 PXG Sugar Daddy Milled 0311

PXG has launched its new wedges for 2020: the 100 percent CNC milled Sugar Daddy 0311 and 0311 Forged.

PXG’s Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges are forged with an oversized 3x forged blank and are 100% milled to ensure each sole, face profile shape, and leading-edge radii are made exactly the way the product was designed, while the 0311 forged wedges contain a 3x forged body.

Both the 2020 Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges and 0311 Forged wedges from PXG feature high toe weighting which draws the CG higher and more towards the center of the clubhead. The result of this more elevated and more central CG is designed to increase spin and improve playability on open face chip and pitch shots.

The new additions from PXG contain multiple sole options – the 09 sole and 07 sole. The 09 sole is a traditional and versatile sole option which bids to provide excellent performance from all types of grass and conditions. In contrast, the 07 sole option is a narrow sole which is ideal for playing open-face chip and pitch shots – particularly from tight turf conditions. The multiple sole options are available in PXG’s 58 and 60-degree wedges.

Both wedges from PXG are constructed of 8620 steel, a strong but soft alloy designed to prolong the life of the grooves, as well as enhance the overall appearance of the club over time.

The proprietary weighting system on the new wedges from PXG aims to optimize both CG location and MOI while also providing a method to increase the total head mass adjustability range, with both lightweight titanium and heavier tungsten weights implemented.

PXG’s 2020 Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges are available at a price of $650 in Chrome and $750 Xtreme Dark, while the brand’s 0311 Forged wedges cost $295.

    Might seem extravagant, but your shanks will have buttery feel to them not found in mere $120 wedges.

    This is ridiculous. Talk about being out of touch with the average golfer. What a pretentious company.
    Who NEEDS such wedges?

    $650 a wedge is exactly what’s wrong with golf now-a-days.

    Could care less how their products perform, pxg will never receive $1 from me.

      The worst part is that they give bad ideas On pricing to other manufacturers. 5 years ago it was easy to find great wedges under $100, not anymore.

    Incorrect info. They are no longer making these in black finish. And “extreme dark” was a limited run model of the 0311t Milled wedges. Made personally for Bob parsons. The shape and specs were slightly different, just as the Romeo and Zulu were, which they are also no longer making. Only chrome sugar daddy milled wedges for gen 2. I’ve hit the all, including the new model sugar daddy, and I MUCH PREFER the gen1 models over the new ones, for several reasons.

    $650+ for a wedge is absurd.

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)

MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.

Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype

We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.

Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS

Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.

Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2

This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.

Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype

This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Published

on

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!
