PXG launches new Gen5 irons
PXG has today unveiled its new Gen5 irons, which arrive in three head shapes, as well as a driving iron option.
The irons feature a new proprietary core, XCOR2, and a Power Channel behind the face. The innovative new core results from a multi-year collaboration with material experts to develop a polymer specifically for PXG irons that is lighter and faster.
The Power Channel is designed to aid additional face loading at impact, increase the coefficient of restitution (COR) and transfer more energy back into the golf ball for faster ball speeds and more distance. Combined with the thinnest face in golf, the overall system aims to provide explosive performance and excellent soft feel.
The Gen5 irons also integrate Precision Weighting Technology, a sizeable adjustable weight located near the center-of-gravity (CG) on the back of the clubhead. This enables golfers to experience various head weight configurations quickly and easily during a fitting.
In addition, the all-new irons have a complex, five-times forged body geometry. Each clubhead is also CNC milled to create an exact, thin-walled, high-performance design.
The new irons from PXG are available in the following three head shapes
PXG 0311 XP irons: “Easy to hit, and provide formidable forgiveness and cannon like distance”
PXG 0311 P irons: “Introduce a sweet balance between forgiveness and playability”
PXG 0311 T irons:“Designed to put skilled golfers in total control of every shot”
PXG 0311 X driving iron: “Designed for golfers seeking maximum distance on tight fairways or in adverse conditions.”
PXG’s 0311 Gen5 irons are priced at $349 and are available in Chrome and an exclusive Xtreme Dark finish as part of a new Black Label Elite TM offering.

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

Great looking irons! I especially like the reserve elite looks. Just ordered a set of the 0311t’s. Unlike Mizuno, I won’t have to wait months while they figure out who ordered what…LMAO

They certainly are committed to the screw aesthetics on the club. From the beginning they have had that same style with the screws. Not sure why it hasn’t evolved much?

They should charge more for their woods. One iron is the price of one of their fairways.

These clubs are for people who like to spend a lot of money playing badly.

PXG – The place good golfers go to get lost. Zach Johnson is about to lose his tour card. WISE UP! – Billy Horschel and Lydia Ko did.

Eventually maybe they’ll get it right. Keep marking down the previous Gen and doing it again. But currently, everyone who leaves PXG wins one of their first events with new gear (Lydia Ko, CHIII, Billy Horschel). Zach Johnson should head that notion. Zach used to be in the top 20 each week with Titleist. Now Zach is world 220 and may lose his tour card.
Every 30 handicapper at my club plays PXG.

What has ever justified the price of these clubs? Even if price was no issue, why these over other clubs? I’ve never seen a material difference.
GP
Apr 15, 2022 at 5:35 am
Another price complainer. If you don’t want to pay for them there are other options. There is a huge difference in quality especially with the 0311ST irons. Problem is almost nobody fits into that category.

GP would that quality be the 13th at the masters? “head flying off”, plus every pro that has left PXG has played better – Billy and Lydia!
Rich Douglas
Apr 15, 2022 at 8:05 pm
Pretty rude.
I didn’t complain about price. I was talking about value. What justifies the huge difference? Is there a material advantage over others? The price, when brought into the conversation, magnifies the issue. It’s not the issue itself.
I recently paid a fitter about $250 a club for the iron set I use now. It’s not about the money.
I think this is about vanity, which makes it even worse. It means paying a higher price for the same performance as other clubs. It makes buyers into suckers.
Tyler Durden
Apr 16, 2022 at 3:28 pm
People worried about what other people decide what has value to them and what they decide to spend their own money shouldn’t matter to anybody else.
You’re not going to to buy PXG so what do care about anything they do?
Rich Douglas
Apr 17, 2022 at 12:09 am
This is a discussion thread about clubs. My question is a legitimate one. Note that no one–no one at all–has made a case for these irons…at any price.
Just feeding egos.

You’ve seen only bad golfers play PXG? Is a +2 considered a good golfer in your bizarre view? PXG irons feel better than my Mizuno Tours. Best feeling irons I’ve hit.
Some people have a very strange reaction to PXG. Guess what? You don’t need to play PXG irons and I don’t have to play your irons. But the irons are excellent. The comment about only bad players play PXG is extremely stupid. I’ll let you in on a big secret: Most golfers aren’t very good. Regardless of the irons they play.

At 84, I’m a seasoned golfer. very seasoned, and have bought clubs for 70 years, including working in a golf store for a couple of years. Just bought their woods, and found the fitting process to be outstanding. The owner has turned the golf club business into a very different and stylish setting, and a quality golf club that is remarkable. In 5 years he’s now number 2 in retail sales, and it’s very understandable when you see the club price options and a fitting process that costs $50.00 smart dollar investment. Plus a putter choice that is really special. Well done, PXG.

You know the sales figures of a private company that doesn’t disclose sales figures? …..Of course you don’t, which means you made up the #2 in retail sales statement (likely closer to #7 behind Calloway, Taylormade, Ping, Titleist, Cobra & Mizuno). Ask anyone in connection with a competing OEM brand and you’ll notice no one is worried by PXG anymore. When they stated fitting folks over the phone for irons, the brand sold its soul for a quick dollar.
Huh...
