PXG introduces Lydia Ko-inspired “Bat Attack” putter

Published

on

Is there a more popular putter design in recent years than the mallet with “wings”? PXG is the next company to introduce its version of the design.

The “Bat Attack,” equipped with what PXG calls heavy-weighted, heel-toe wings, has a milled face insert and the company’s TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) in its core. According to the company, it’s inspired by Lydia Ko, the No. 1 female golfer in the world.

“The putter’s signature wings are set exactly a golf ball width apart and are designed to assist with alignment and support a high MOI,” says PXG.

The heads are built with aircraft-grade aluminum bodies, 304 stainless-steel faces and TPE face inserts. The overall design is made for greater forgiveness across the face. There are three weight options, including 350-, 375- and 400-gram heads; the 350-gram head has wings that are made from stainless steel, while the 375 and 400 gram heads use high-density tungsten.

    No doubt it’s a fine putter with a similar shape so she can aim it correctly – I’m not in love with PXG’s face insert – let’s say it’s not my favorite as it has a light feel off the ball, but it works.

    1) Take Odyssey #7

    2) epoxy some rivets on it

    3) Charge $550

    4) profit?

    HUGE Lydia Ko fan here. pretty sure she has a 14 club deal with PXG and is using this Bat Attack putter because she is can’t use the 2 ball. She struggled with her putting so much she even went back to the two-ball a couple weeks ago but it seems that can’t be a long term solution. Wish she had a 13 club contract so she could use the Taylormade spider tour that everyone seems to be using these days, thanks to Jason Day.

      Yeah Jason Day sure is lighting it up

      She could switch back if her performance truly suffers. Parsons wouldn’t force that 14th club to achieve that it wouldn’t accomplish anything.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing

Published

on

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.
