Family shakeup: PXG 0317 T irons introduced
PXG’s “T” irons are leaving the 0311 family and joining the ST and CB irons in the 0317 line.
With the PXG 0317 T, the company seeks to combine high-spin performance with the playability of a tour blade in a hollow-body, injection-molded design emphasizing a new stabilizing S COR polymer core and its associated benefits — improved forgiveness, consistency, and distance control.
“From the materials and processes we use to the extremely tight tolerances we maintain, these clubs are built the way they are designed and are consistent club-to-club so that elite players can experience total control and more than a touch of forgiveness,” PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons said.
The company’s triple-forging of 8620 carbon steel creates a “tight crystalline grain structure that delivers a pure resonance and extremely solid feel at impact.” External specifications are CNC milled prior to a robotically polished finish.
PXG’s years of polymer studies reveal that external clubface flexing and responsiveness are influenced by internal polymer materials. Accordingly, the company found the “T” iron best suited for its elite player category. The S COR — stability core — reduces face flex at impact, which increases spin and lowers initial launch angle, offering the workability and lower trajectory generally preferred by better players.
Also noteworthy: PXG 0317 T irons feature a 15-gram internal tungsten weight in the toe for CG in line with the middle of the face and a greater moment of inertia.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
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.”

I’ll never understand 2.5-degree loft gaps in the long irons and then 5-degree gaps in the short irons. I don’t think even elite players want that.
