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.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
