PXG announces GEN4 lineup will be revealed March 9
PXG has today revealed that its all-new GEN4 golf clubs are on their way.
Billed as “the apex of the company’s club lineup,” per PXG, the new flagship GEN4 golf clubs present “significant advancements in materials innovations, combined with precision engineering and personalized performance.”
The move to announce the specific date of a club launch weeks in advance to the public at large is a new one in the equipment space, but PXG is nothing if not unmarried to convention.
As for the specifics of the lineup and the technology therein, we’ll have to wait, but we do know the GEN4 series of clubs includes drivers, fairways, hybrids. Full details of the clubs will be available March 9, with GEN4 arriving at retail on March 30.
Speaking on the new GEN4 series, PXG founder and CEO Bob Parsons said
“We’ve held nothing back, spared no expense, and poured every ounce of innovation, and every lesson learned into these babies. The result – clubs that are absolutely amazing and expensive, but worth every cent. Everything you would expect from PXG and more.”
Today’s announcement comes one month after the company released its all-new PXG 2021 0211 Golf Clubs, and the GEN4 clubs are priced as the following
- Drivers: $549
- Fairways: $429
- Hybrids: $379
- Irons: $349
As with all PXG clubs, special pricing will be available to all current and past military, veterans, and first responders through the PXG for Heroes program.
“We want everyone to experience PXG’s killer patented technology, so we’ve expanded our offerings to support a wider audience of golfers. Whether you prefer the latest technology and most advanced fitting options or simply want a sexy set of sticks that deliver incredible performance, we’ve got you covered, and we’re proud to count you among our PXG Troops.”
– Bob Parsons
Stay tuned for full details on the new GEN4 clubs on March 9.

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans
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.

Equipment
Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft
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!
