PXG Introduces All-New Forged PXG Stick’em™ Wedges https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-introduces-all-new-forged-pxg-stickem-wedges/ https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-introduces-all-new-forged-pxg-stickem-wedges/#respond Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:13:53 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-introduces-all-new-forged-pxg-stickem-wedges/

Tour-Inspired Precision. Forged Feel. Built-In Forgiveness.

 

Scottsdale, AZ  – PXG has introduced new PXG® Stick’em™ Forged Wedges, a 100% forged lineup engineered to deliver exceptional feel and confident control from any lie. Designed with a clean, tour-inspired profile, the new wedges incorporate modern performance features including high-toe weighting, progressive center-of-gravity placement, and optimized groove spacing to promote consistent launch, stability, and spin throughout the set.

The new wedges are available now in Chrome ($199) and Xtreme Dark ($219) finishes.

Forged Feel. Modern Performance.

PXG Stick’em Wedges are precision-crafted from three-times forged 8620 soft carbon steel, a manufacturing process that refines the metal’s grain structure with each strike. This repeated forging compresses and aligns the material at a microscopic level, creating a tighter, more uniform structure that delivers a noticeably softer yet more solid feel at impact along with a crisp, satisfying sound. Beyond feel, the triple-forging process increases the material’s overall strength, helping grooves maintain their sharpness longer while preserving the club’s premium appearance over time. By shaping the clubhead through multiple forging stages before final finishing, PXG engineers also achieve tighter tolerances and exceptional consistency, ensuring every wedge performs as intended.

High-toe weighting increases the moment of inertia (MOI) and positions the center of gravity (CG) in line with open-face shots. This promotes a more consistent trajectory and predictable launch conditions across the face.

PXG’s high-performance groove geometry is engineered to maximize friction and consistency at impact. The grooves are wider, increasing the cross-sectional area, allowing the groove edges to engage the ball cover more effectively while channeling away grass, moisture, and debris. At the same time, tighter groove spacing increases the likelihood that an additional groove edge interacts with the ball during impact. The combination creates more reliable spin generation and improved trajectory control.

“The short game is where players either gain confidence or lose it,” said Mike Nicolette, PXG Senior Director of Engineering. “With Stick’em Forged Wedges, the goal was to give golfers a wedge that performs predictably shot after shot. The head stays stable when you open the face, the grooves generate reliable spin, and the forged construction delivers the soft feedback players rely on to judge distance and touch around the green. When a wedge reacts exactly the way a player expects, it frees them up to be more aggressive and creative.”

Two Sole Options.

Stick’em Forged Wedges are offered in two sole options, allowing players to match bounce and turf interaction to their swing and course conditions.

  • BP-Grind (13° Bounce) – A wider, fuller sole delivers higher effective bounce, helping the club glide through turf and sand. Ideal for steeper attack angles and softer conditions.
  • S-Grind (10° Bounce) – A tapered sole with heel and toe relief provides added versatility, allowing players to open the face and execute creative short-game shots from a variety of lies.

Stick’em Forged Wedges are available in 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60° lofts with multiple shaft and flex options to suit any swing. Lofts 54°–60° feature full-face grooves to expand the hitting area for open-face shots, while 50° and 52° models feature traditional grooves for full-swing control.

The new line of forged golf wedges is available now. Visit PXG.com, call 844.PLAY.PXG, or swing by PXG retail to learn more or book a custom wedge fitting.

PXG Unleashes the Hot Rod ZT™ Putter https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-unleashes-the-hot-rod-zt-putter/ https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-unleashes-the-hot-rod-zt-putter/#respond Fri, 13 Mar 2026 23:47:21 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-unleashes-the-hot-rod-zt-putter/

Engineered with true zero torque technology for clutch performance on the greens

Scottsdale, AZ – Today, PXG unveiled the PXG® Hot Rod ZT™ Putter, a center-shafted mallet engineered to deliver exceptional face stability through a Zero Torque Design. As interest in zero torque technology continues to grow among golfers seeking greater consistency on the greens, the Hot Rod ZT Putter represents PXG’s latest commitment to performance-driven innovation in the category.

At the core of Hot Rod ZT Putter’s performance is a design built to keep the face square to the path throughout the entire stroke. By positioning the center of gravity just below the shaft axis, the putter minimizes twisting forces that can cause the face to open or close. The result is improved consistency, enhanced stability, and a more repeatable stroke with minimal manipulation from the golfer.

The Hot Rod ZT Putter features a modern, high-MOI mallet shape designed to frame the ball cleanly at address and inspire confidence over every putt. Precision-milled from 6061 aluminum, the head construction allows mass to be distributed with extreme precision. Four interchangeable sole weights and concealed high-density tungsten work together to increase forgiveness and stability, while allowing golfers to fine-tune head weight from 340g to 410g to match feel preferences and correct bias tendencies.

Enhancing performance at impact, PXG’s proprietary Pyramid Milled Face Pattern is engineered with an aggressive pyramid geometry optimized to interact more consistently with golf ball dimples. This design promotes a smoother, more consistent roll. It also delivers the soft sound players associate with insert putters, without sacrificing the feedback and responsiveness of a fully milled face.

The Hot Rod ZT Putter also features an onset hosel with an integrated forward press that naturally positions the hands at address. While the putter is engineered with 6-degrees of measured loft, it plays like a traditional 3-degree putter thanks to the design. This helps promote consistent launch conditions and reliable roll across a variety of putting stroke styles.

“Every detail of Hot Rod ZT was shaped around confidence, both visually and through impact,” said Matt Andrews, PXG Design Engineer. “From the way the mallet frames the ball to the sound and feel off the face, we focused on creating a putter that looks stable, feels stable, and performs exactly the way players expect when it matters most.”

Available in two alignment options, the SL2 with an elongated sightline or the SL1 with a clean line from the face and blank back cavity, the Hot Rod ZT Putter allows golfers to choose the visual setup that best suits their eye.

The Hot Rod ZT Putter is available now in both right- and left-handed models. To learn more, roll a putt, or get fit, visit www.PXG.com or a PXG fitting location.

New PXG 0311 GEN8 Irons – Engineered to be Dialed In, Built to be Unstoppable https://ultragolfing.com/new-pxg-0311-gen8-irons-engineered-to-be-dialed-in-built-to-be-unstoppable/ https://ultragolfing.com/new-pxg-0311-gen8-irons-engineered-to-be-dialed-in-built-to-be-unstoppable/#respond Sun, 08 Feb 2026 00:17:21 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/new-pxg-0311-gen8-irons-engineered-to-be-dialed-in-built-to-be-unstoppable/

New irons weighting system transforms adjustability into a true competitive advantage

 

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Today PXG introduced its highly anticipated PXG® 0311® GEN8 Irons, a groundbreaking lineup engineered to deliver maximum ball speed, dialed-in precision, and unmatched feel across three distinct head designs. Featuring PXG’s most advanced materials, manufacturing processes, and fitting technologies to date, the PXG 0311 GEN8 family sets a new benchmark for total control.

Backed by years of research and development and tour-validated innovation, PXG 0311 GEN8 Irons integrate QuantumCORTM, PXG’s proprietary polymer; Deep Core Recoil Technology for explosive face flexion; a Dual Perimeter Weighting System for unprecedented adjustability; internal high-density tungsten weighting; and ultra-thin maraging steel faces with refined Power Channel geometry. Each iron is five-times forged from 8620 soft carbon steel and finished with robotic polishing to ensure exacting geometry and consistency.

“GEN8 shows how far craftsmanship in golf has evolved,” said Gary Player, Golf Legend and PXG Ambassador. “These irons blend true performance engineering with incredible attention to detail.”

The new Dual Perimeter Weighting System represents a major leap forward in iron adjustability, giving fitters unprecedented control over center-of-gravity placement and swing weight. By repositioning mass from the center of the clubhead to the perimeter, the system increases moment of inertia (MOI) while allowing precise heel-toe center-of-gravity (CG) tuning through interchangeable weights. Shifting mass toward the toe or heel subtly influences face position at impact, helping golfers achieve more consistent start lines before lie-angle adjustments are even introduced.

Player testing confirmed the performance benefits of this approach, with nearly all golfers able to distinguish between weight configurations and all experiencing a measurable change in face-to-path at impact. The result is tighter dispersion, improved directional control, and more consistent turf interaction, delivering a smoother strike and more repeatable ball flight customized through the club fitting process.

“The feel is pure, and the distance is impressive,” said Marco Penge, PXG PGA TOUR Professional. “GEN8 delivers the kind of performance you notice immediately.”

Offered in three models – PXG 0311 GEN8 T (Tour), PXG 0311 GEN8 P (Players), and PXG 0311 GEN8 XP (Xtreme Performance) – the lineup allows golfers to dial in the ideal combination of launch, distance, spin, and forgiveness for their game. Back by popular demand, the GEN8 T Iron features a compact head shape and minimal offset for ultimate workability and precision favored by elite ball strikers. The GEN8 P Iron delivers a mid-size profile with balanced forgiveness and control, offering exceptional versatility for a wide range of players. For golfers seeking maximum distance, the GEN8 XP Iron combines increased offset, a wider sole, and strong loft to produce explosive, confidence-inspiring performance.

“With GEN8, we focused on elevating every performance variable without compromise,” said Mike Nicolette, Sr. Director of Irons Research & Development at PXG. “From the polymer to the face architecture to the weighting system, every element works together to maximize energy transfer, tighten dispersion, and deliver the soft, responsive feel golfers expect from PXG.”

PXG 0311 GEN8 Irons are designed to offer stability through impact and total control, whether attacking pins or maximizing carry yardages.

LPGA Tour Professional Megan Khang concluded, “GEN8 gives me the precision I rely on.”

All models are offered in Chrome and Xtreme Dark and can be custom fitted at PXG retail stores, fitting studios, or through PXG Mobile Fitters nationwide. To book your fitting visit www.PXG.com.

PXG GEN8 irons with adjustable perimeter weighting and forged feel https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-gen8-irons-with-adjustable-perimeter-weighting-and-forged-feel/ https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-gen8-irons-with-adjustable-perimeter-weighting-and-forged-feel/#respond Tue, 20 Jan 2026 05:44:09 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/pxg-gen8-irons-with-adjustable-perimeter-weighting-and-forged-feel/


PXG’s GEN8 irons rethink iron design with perimeter-based weighting, forged construction and three models built for distinct player types.

Gear: PXG GEN8 T, P, XP irons

Price: $229 per club (chrome), $249 per club (Xtreme Dark)

Specs: Hollow-body construction with forged 8620 carbon steel chassis and face, adjustable perimeter-based tungsten weights and internal polymer core.

Available: Jan. 15

Who it’s for: Better players looking for a compact, workable iron with modern ball speed (GEN8 T), golfers who want a balanced blend of forgiveness and control (GEN8 P), and players prioritizing distance, higher launch and maximum forgiveness (GEN8 XP).

What you should know: GEN8 marks a significant shift in PXG’s iron design philosophy, replacing center-loaded mass with adjustable perimeter weights that increase forgiveness and allows meaningful shot-shape tuning without changing the clubhead itself.

The Deep Dive: It has been 10 years since PXG brought out its first irons, the 0311, and tried to give the golf world something that many people didn’t think was possible—a true game-improvement club that enhanced distance and feel, yet looked like a better-player’s iron.

Today, PXG’s GEN8 irons build on a decade of refinement, but have the same mission.

Recently released PXG irons were designed with a large weight behind the center of gravity in the back of the head. That approach preserved CG location when weights were swapped to adjust the swing weight, but it limited gains in moment of inertia (MOI) and reduced perimeter weighting. Now, with GEN8, PXG split that mass and pushed it out to the heel and toe. Even in the neutral configuration, going with two weights instead of one creates a noticeable jump in forgiveness because the heads are more stable through impact on off-center hits.

More interesting, though, is what happens when the weights move. Shifting mass toward the heel or toe alters both CG location and the club’s resistance to face rotation around the shaft axis, subtly influencing how easily the face closes or stays open. And PXG’s testing showed these changes were not theoretical; players could feel the difference and launch monitor data confirmed measurable differences in face angle and shot pattern when the 10 grams of total mass that is split isn’t split into two 5-gram weights, but instead into a 4-gram and 6-gram or 3-gram and 7-gram.

That adjustability sits on top of a manufacturing process PXG loves to discuss. The GEN8 irons are fully forged using 8620 carbon steel, despite their complex internal geometry, using a five-step forging process allows PXG to create thin walls, deep cavities and internal channels that would normally require casting. It is a more expensive approach, but one PXG believes is essential to both performance and quality.

Internally, GEN8 continues PXG’s evolution away from energy-absorbing polymers. Earlier generations of the brand’s irons used softer materials primarily to improve sound and feel. Over time, PXG shifted toward a more resilient internal polymer called QuantumCore that is designed to support the face and return more energy to the ball. The result is a face that flexes efficiently without relying on excessive damping, helping maintain ball speed while still producing a solid, controlled feel.

The lineup within GEN8 is tiered.

  • The GEN8 T is compact, with minimal offset and a thinner top line, aimed at players who value precision and workability but still want modern ball speed.
  • The GEN8 P sits in the middle, blending a slightly larger profile with forgiveness that does not overwhelm the better player visually.
  • The GEN8 XP leans fully into distance and stability, with stronger lofts, wider soles and more offset to help golfers launch the ball high and keep speed on off-center strikes.

Taken as a whole, GEN8 feels less like a tweak and more like a platform shift for PXG. The brand is leaning into adjustability, manufacturing precision and energy management, while still offering distinct shapes and setups for very different types of golfers.

PXG’s GEN8 irons rethink iron design with perimeter-based weighting, forged construction and three models built for distinct player types.

Gear: PXG GEN8 T, P, XP irons

Price: TBD

Specs: Five-step forged body construction with deep internal cavities, flexible face, perimeter-based tungsten weighting system, internal polymer core and model-specific sole geometry

Available: TBD

Who it’s for: Better players looking for a compact, workable iron with modern ball speed (GEN8 T), golfers who want a balanced blend of forgiveness and control (GEN8 P), and players prioritizing distance, higher launch and maximum forgiveness (GEN8 XP).

What you should know: The GEN8 iron family marks a significant shift in the brand’s design philosophy, replacing center-loaded mass with adjustable perimeter weighting that increases forgiveness and allows meaningful shot-shape tuning without changing the clubhead itself.

The Deep Dive: There’s always been a reason adjustable drivers have become standard, and adjustable irons are unicorns. Drivers are big enough to house the adjustable mechanisms, and golfers over the last two decades have gotten used to tinkering with loft sleeves and movable weights. Irons, on the other hand, have traditionally been a place where you pick your head, pick your shaft, bend the loft and lie if needed, and call it a day.

Enter PXG with the new GEN8 series of irons. With one look at the back of GEN8 T, GEN8 P or GEN8 XP you will easily see that the Scottsdale, Arizona-based brand is bringing something new to the party.

In previously released irons like the GEN7, PXG irons placed a large weight in the middle of the back of each head. It helped lower the center of gravity (CG) and allowed players to test different swing weights during fitting sessions. With GEN8, PXG split that mass into two weights and pushed them outward, toward the heel and toe. Even in the neutral configuration, that change delivers a noticeable jump in forgiveness because the added max in the heel and toe makes the GEN8 irons more stable and less likely to twist on off-center strikes.

And to answer the question that is likely popping into many golfers’ minds right now, yes, PXG can put different weights in the ports to alter both CG location and the club’s resistance to face rotation. Most golfers will likely have the same amount of weight in the heel and toe, but adding extra weight to the toe should slow rotation for golfers who tend to shut the face too much and hook shots, while adding weight to the heel should encourage rotation and lead to fewer fanned shots to the right. PXG’s testing showed these changes were not theoretical. Players could feel them, and launch monitor data confirmed measurable differences in face angle and shot pattern.

That adjustability sits atop a manufacturing process that PXG is eager to continue using. The GEN8 irons are fully forged in a five-step process that allows PXG to create thin walls, deep cavities and internal channels that would typically require casting, while preserving the consistency of a forged head. It is a more expensive approach, but one PXG believes is essential to both performance and perceived quality.

Earlier PXG irons used softer internal polymers to improve sound and feel. Over time, PXG has shifted toward a more resilient internal polymer material that supports the face and returns energy to the ball more efficiently. The company calls it QuantumCOR, and adding it inside the head of each GEN8 iron results in a face that flexes efficiently and reduces excessive vibrations while still producing a solid, controlled feel.

The lineup within the GEN8 family mimics what we have seen in recent years from PXG:

  • The GEN8 T is compact, with minimal offset and a thinner top line, aimed at players who value precision and workability but still want modern ball speed.
  • The GEN8 P sits in the middle, blending a slightly larger profile with forgiveness that does not overwhelm the better player visually.
  • The GEN8 XP leans fully into distance and stability, with stronger lofts, wider soles and more offset to help golfers launch the ball high and keep speed on off-center strikes.

Taken as a whole, GEN8 feels less like a tweak and more like a platform shift. It is PXG leaning into adjustability, manufacturing precision and energy management, while still offering distinct shapes and setups for very different types of golfers.
