Callaway launches new Jaws Raw wedges

Callaway has today launched the new Jaws Raw wedges featuring some of the most aggressive grooves in golf with a raw face that promotes maximum spin.

The new additions feature razor-sharp grooves with a 37 degree wall angle designed to elevate the groove-edge sharpness. Per the company, from 80 yards and in, these grooves aim promote a controlled “one hop and stop” trajectory.

Callaway has removed the plating on the face, which allows for rusting over time in the scoring zone while maintaining the premium look throughout the rest of the clubhead. Removing the plating is designed to enable a more direct connection between the ball and the face at impact.

The wedges feature offset Groove-in-Groove technology, with the milled micro-grooves positioned at a 20-degree angle, designed to promote added spin on chips, pitches, and lob shots. In addition, a muted toe pad on the face reduces glare at address.

With the Jaws Raw wedges, tungsten is in a Callaway wedge for the first time ever, on the sand and lob wedges, to center the CG position for control and feel. Variable-length hosels are also engineered to control trajectory while enhancing forgiveness.

The all-new Z grind is a more forgiving low bounce option, with an aggressive leading-edge chamfer that bids to improve turf interaction. This chamfer acts as a “skid plate” in design to help reduce digging on chip and pitch shots.

All sand and lob wedge grinds also feature a leading-edge chamfer that is designed to reduce digging. Along with the all-new Z grind, the comprehensive Jaws Raw lineup includes the brand’s standard S, wide sole W, and high bounce X grind, providing 17 loft and bounce combinations per finish.

Stock shaft options: True Temper Dynamic Gold Spinner 115g (steel) and Project X Catalyst 80g (graphite), paired with the stock Lamkin UTx Charcoal Grip. Women’s stock shaft option is available in UST Recoil (graphite) with Lamkin’s Women’s Comfort grip.

Everything you need to know about PXG’s new 2023 Gen6 golf clubs

Published

Andrew Tursky

Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) has officially announced the release of its new Gen6 family of products, which replace the company’s previous Gen5 lineup.

The new Gen6 stable includes two driver options (o311 and 0311 XF), two fairway woods (0311 and 0311 XF), two hybrids (0311 and 0311 XF), and two iron models (0311 P and 0311 XP).

PXG offers two different versions of each club type to satisfy the varying needs of different golfers. The standard 0311 metalwoods and 0311 P irons offer players a combination of forgiveness and performance, whereas the 0311 XF metalwoods and 0311 XP irons are made for players who need a little “X”-tra forgiveness on mishits.

The Gen 6 clubs are available for purchase on PXG’s website, or in PXG in-store locations, as of Thursday, March 23. The Gen 6 driver is selling for $499, fairway woods $299, hybrids $289, and irons $219 apiece.

Below, we break down the new technological enhancements in the Gen 6 family.

PXG’s 0311 and 0311 XF drivers

The PXG 0311 driver model (pictured above and below) offers a traditional tear drop shape and a compact profile, and the PXG 0311 XF model has a larger footprint and shallower face to help players who hit mishit the ball more often.

New this year for PXG is a robotic polishing process that helps with tighter CT tolerances to boost ball speeds for product users. PXG has also improved sound and feel compared to previous iterations by using what the company calls High Modal Frequency Designs.

Additionally, each head is designed with a 3-port adjustable weighting system in the sole, and they’re built with high-strength Ti412 face structures to increase speed.

The 0311 driver is available in 7.5, 9 and 10.5 degrees, and the PXG 0311 XF is offered in 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees.

PXG’s 0311 and 0311 XF fairway woods

The PXG 0311 fairways (13, 15, 18 and 21 degrees) and the 0311 XF fairways (16, 17, 19 and 22 degrees) each have adjustable sole weights – three weight ports in the 0311, and two weight ports in the 0311 XF – and each are designed with flatter soles to lower the overall mass of the heads to increase forgiveness. The 0311 XF model, in particular, is designed with a Railed Sole Geometry to help create lower friction to help with turf interaction.

The Gen 6 fairway woods are built with AM355 steel bodies and HT1770 steel faces.

PXG’s 0311 and 0311 XF hybrids

The PXG 0311 hybrids have a more compact shape at address, while the 0311 XF features a larger shape that offers more forgiveness. As with the Gen 6 fairway woods, the soles of the hybrids are flatter to keep weight low, and the XF in particular has protruding split rails to enhance turf interaction.

The 0311 hybrids are available in 17, 19, 22 and 25 degrees, and the 0311 XF hybrids are available in 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31 degrees.

PXG’s 0311 P and 0311 XF irons

PXG’s new 0311 P and 0311 XP irons now have a 15 percent thinner face, and PXG is calling them “the fastest irons we’ve ever made,” and the “softest irons we’ve ever made.”

The faces are made from high strength HT1770 maraging steel, and they have milled channels behind the faces to increase face deflection, increase launch, and raise ball speeds. In between the faces and the back cavity, PXG uses its propriety XCOR2 material to enhance feel, energy transfer and durability. The bodies themselves are five-times forged from 8620 steel, and they have milled back surfaces to reduce wall thickness and increase precision.

PXG’s new 0311 P and 0311 XP irons also use Tungsten weighting in the low-and-back portions of the heads to increase launch and forgiveness.

According to PXG, the 0311 P irons are designed for low-to-mid handicappers and have moderate offset, whereas the 0311 XP irons have more offset, and they’re built for mid-to-high handicaps who want more distance and forgiveness.
