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

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

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.
