New fairway wood coming from PXG?

Published

Is there a new fairway wood coming from PXG? At the BMW Championship, we captured photos of PXG Staffer Charles Howell III taking a look at a new club.

Unless you can see through bananas, it’s hard to tell what could be different about the new fairway wood. CHIII is interested, though. He was told he couldn’t take the fairway wood home for testing, so well keep an eye out for future PGA Tour range testing of the new club. See more photos.

In other PXG news, the company released a new game-improvement iron earlier this week called the 0311XF, which is currently being used as a 4-iron replacement for Charles Schwartzel.

I’ve hit the 0311 irons and honestly, I would love to have a set but, it wouldn’t be as much for performance as it would be for a status symbol. It felt great but, my Mizunos still feel better and softer. I have also hit the PXG driver. The PXG fitter told me to also bring my own driver (Titleist 913D2) which I did. Over an hour fitting and trying over 8 different shafts the fitter told me “I can’t sell you this, you hit your own driver much better, it just wouldn’t be right” I thanked him for his honesty and went on my way. The PXG driver looks great, feels great and I was prepared to purchase it on the spot but, for $800 dollars I guess I expected much more…This is not a slam on PXG by any means, They are beautiful, modern and very industrial looking. This is just my opinion and you really should try them for yourself.

Don’t speak to what you don’t know. The PXG line is absolutely off the charts and I know this for an absolute certainty. A forged iron that feels like butter and goes further than any cast iron on the market. What is not to like? The woods hit an extra apex in flight, again, whats not to like? The price point excludes many people but that’s no reason to trash the product. It’s the best equipment on the market and it’s really not even close.

  Good grief. If it really is the best equipment on the market, then every pro would have them in their bag.

Really PXG….nobody cares enough about your i20 knockoff.
The Titleist and Cally fairways are all you ever need.
No need to hide a knockoff.

Ask Zach and Billy how well their PXG year has gone.
P(ropoganda), for X(tremely)and G(rossly)overpriced average golf clubs.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
Mizuno MP-32
