PXG introduces new Gen5 drivers, fairway woods and hybrids
PXG has today introduced its new Gen5 family of woods and hybrids that feature an increased moment of inertia (MOI), faster ball speeds, longer distances, and tighter dispersion, according to the company.
The new drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids all contain a Full Aluminum Vapor (AV) Carbon Fiber Crown, an Internal Supported Weight Structure, Precision Weighting Technology, and Robotic Polishing.

The lightweight crown, made entirely from high-grade carbon fiber, is designed to help save critical mass, while the AV Technology stiffens the structure and reduces energy loss.

The Supported Weight Structure is designed to dampen harsh vibrations at impact while producing higher modal frequencies to deliver a dynamic feel and gratifying sound.

Precision Weighting Technology pushes mass to the extreme perimeter to drastically increase MOI, while Robotic Polishing, a high-precision process, aims to ensure the bulge and roll radii are held to the tightest tolerances to produce ideal ball flight even on off-center hits.

PXG 0311 Drivers

Unique to the Gen5 driver is a High-Speed Ti412 Face and Variable Face Design. The titanium alloy face material has an exceptionally high yield strength and a low elastic modulus that is designed to generate significant face deflection resulting in ultra-fast ball speeds.

The variable thickness face features internal topographic geometries that bid to help reduce mass and enhance ball speeds while also increasing durability.

The new drivers are available in two models:
The standard PXG 0311 Gen5 driver presents a comfortable, traditional head shape, tall, deep face, and low-spin design to deliver maximum ball speed and distance.
The PXG 0311 XF Gen5 driver offers a confidence-inspiring head shape, a larger face that expands the hitting zone, and a mid-spin design for added forgiveness.

PXG 0311 Fairways & Hybrids

The Gen5 fairways and hybrids are made from a high-strength AM355 steel body material in a bid to create a high-performance head design with ideal launch and spin characteristics.

The body material is coupled with an HT1770 stainless steel high-speed, squared face that is designed to promote maximum ball speeds.

Both the Gen5 fairways and GEN5 hybrids are available in two distinct models:
Standard PXG 0311 Gen5 fairways and PXG 0311 Gen5 hybrids feature a low-spin head with a comfortable shape at address. A flat sole design keeps mass low and pushes weight to the perimeter in design for increased forgiveness.
Generating an incredibly high MOI, the PXG 0311 XF Gen5 fairways and 0311 XF Gen5 hybrids offer mid-spin options to deliver a confidence-inspiring head shape. A Railed Sole Geometry is paired with a forgiveness-enhancing flat sole design in a bid to offer improved turf interaction, especially for those with a steep angle of attack.


Both the fairways and hybrids are priced at $379 each, while the drivers cost $499 each.

Odyssey extends Damascus Milled lineup with 3 new putters
Odyssey Golf announced Tuesday that the already popular Damascus Milled putter lineup is getting more options.
Initially launched back in April, only in a Damascus Milled #7 head (in plumbers or double bend configurations), the family grows to four with a One Wide, Two and Rossie S shape, all available in the second limited-edition drop at retail on June 6th.
“Damascus Steel is a beautiful material, and the patterns tell the story, because every one is different” said Odyssey General Manager, Jacob Davidson. “But what stands out is that as beautiful as these putters are, the feedback from Tour has been the exceptional feel of these putters. We wanted to deliver the most premium performance-driven putter we’ve ever done at Odyssey. When you look at this product, we have so much confidence because there is not one thing we’d do different. On this one we really took our time over the last couple years to try to perfect the design.”
Created from a layered construction of multiple steel alloys, this Damascus Steel insert is forged, folded and pressed to create a unique, striking pattern in every piece. Think of it like a fingerprint. Each Damascus construction comes with its own 1-of-1 style pattern. No offerings will ever look the same.
The layered structure, combined with a specialized heat treatment, delivers a finely tuned, highly responsive feel different from other insert materials. The Damascus steel is audibly different compared to other inserts, potentially with slightly more feedback. Odyssey also uses AI-designed back contours to maintain consistent ball speed across the face, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern tech.
Each head in the line is precision-milled from stainless steel and features a blasted silver finish to complement the Damascus insert and sole plates.
With Tour feedback, Odyssey has also developed, in collaboration with Golf Pride, a grip featuring meticulously crafted edges, pistol shaping and a classic modern tour feel.

L.A.B. Golf launches new VZN.1i putter
L.A.B. Golf has been the pioneer when it comes to Lie Angle Balanced putters for years now. When you talk to another golfer and zero torque putters comes up, as it will since it is the hottest thing in golf, the first brand out of their mouthes is L.A.B. Golf. Currently their putter line up has something for every golfer, wether your like blades or mallets. But the company has a new creation for golfers that we saw out on tour just a few weeks ago and is now available to us, the VZN.1i putter.

One of the big stories with the new VZN.1i putter is alignment in the form of the shape. L.A.B. has always given us plenty of alignment options in their putters with different line formations and shapes that can be laser etched onto the top of the putter. With this new design they used the shape of the head and the open cavity in the middle to help enhance the alignment for players. These shapes help players lock into their intended line to improve accuracy and concistency.
“VZN.1i was approached formulaically by combining everything we’ve learned from the success of previous L.A.B. Golf models into a familiar mallet shape that’s easy on the eyes and even easier to putt with,” said Cameron Day, Senior Vice President of Product at L.A.B. Golf. “Every L.A.B. putter is engineered to roll the ball on its intended line through Lie Angle Balance technology. With VZN.1i, we took things a step further by simplifying another critical aspect of putting: alignment.”

Like most of the other L.A.B. mallet putters the VZN.1i is machined from a solid block of aluminum and features a 303 stainless steel face insert. Steel face inserts on all L.A.B. putters not only enhance the sound and feel but they improve ball speed for better distance control. The new shaping also offers two ways of picking up your ball, using the sole or the rear flange can scoop up the ball. The company is offering the VZN.1i with a 1.5 degree forward shaft lean or a vertical shaft option in order to fit more golfers. Each VZN.1i is hand balanced and 10 other stages before it is complete and ready to ship. L.A.B. has its custom program where the golfer can select their length and lie but also head color, shaft upgrades, and grips to make their VZN.1i fit them perfectly.

The VZN.1i is available now starting at $499 for stock models and $599 for custom.

2026 Edition: Most comfortable walking shoe? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, one user has asked a question sure to interest all sorts of golfers. What’s the most comfortable walking shoe of 2026?
@RobDMB posed the following question:
“Looking for suggestions/recommendations on the currently available most comfortable walking shoes – preferably waterproof. Essentially looking for something comfortable like a running shoe, but with some stability and waterproof for golf. Decent room in toe box as well. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!”
Our members in the forum have been sharing their own recommendations on the best walking shoes that can also survive a number of golf rounds. 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.
- SheriffBooth: “To check all your boxes I’d vote for whichever of the current Nike lineup fits your feet the best. Obviously the Victory Pro 4 and Victory Tour 4 are good enough for the two best players in the world, but the new Pegasus, Next% Tour 3, and Tempo all look really good too.”
- i*windows: “when I had issues with my feet I played in Asics running shoes they were a little bit like the hoka’s above, very comfortable, now I’m back to Ecco shoes which are great.”
- mshills: “Everyone’s feet are different so this will be a long list of lots of different shoes. For me, anything from Ecco’s Biom lineup. Nothing else comes close.”

Super fast ball speeds with some funky Ti but at the the USGA limit. So it’s not really that fast. It’s like everything else. But costs more. lol

Carbon face is 40% less face weight. So much more foregiving.
There is no competition
TM will win most, for now.
