PXG announces Gen7, Black Ops irons, Sugar Daddy III wedges

In a surprise reveal this week, PXG, Parsons Xtreme Golf, has announced their latest 0311 Gen7 and Black Ops game improvement irons along with the highly-anticipated Sugar Daddy III wedges.

Although no internal technology features of the irons have been made public, early pictures offer some insight into the popular 0311 iron line and what kind of improvements have been made.

What we know

The newest 0311 Gen7 irons continue the looks and aggressive styling that has become synonymous with PXG’s irons.

What stands out on the 0311P and 0311XP Gen7 is a titanium ring around the signature middle weight used to fine-tune swing weight and feel. Considering the lightweight and high-strength nature of titanium compared to steel we can assume that this change has been made to save mass and boost MOI by positioning more weight in the heel and toe of the irons.

Unlike the 0311P and XP irons, the Black Ops appears to be a stand-alone game improvement offering to go along with the Black Ops woods. Based on the lack of hosel branding it’s likely the Black Ops irons are made using a cast body construction and will be offered at a lower price point than the new Gen7’s.

And lastly, the 0311 Sugar Daddy III wedges look to be an evolution of the popular fully milled line by offering more grind options and a new cavity design in the rear of the club to shift weight around the head for extra stability and spin control.
