PXG launches new driving iron

PXG has launched a new driving iron, the 0317 X, which is designed to offer elite players a hybrid alternative that boosts moment-of-inertia and increases forgiveness for enhanced distance and accuracy.

The PXG 0317 X Driving Iron is triple forged from 8620 soft carbon steel. The forging process creates a tight grain structure that delivers a pure resonance and an excellent feel at impact. The face and back of the clubhead are precision milled to ensure every surface, curve, and angle are produced to exact specifications.

The clubhead, which presents a taller and longer blade length than a traditional player’s iron, then undergoes a precise robotic polishing process to refine the sole and other geometries for a flawless finish and unmatched consistency club to club.

STRUCTURAL STABILITY

PXG’s proprietary XCOR2 material, introduced in the company’s PXG 0311 GEN6 Irons, backs an ultra-thin clubface. The high-speed resin core is injection molded into the clubhead’s hollow cavity. The material provides structural stability to the face – which, unsupported, would fail with a single hit – and dramatically increases ball speed.

One large weight is located near the centre of gravity on the back of the clubhead to achieve optimal swing weight. Unique to PXG, golfers can experience the benefits of these adjustments during an in-person fitting as the weighting is not intended to be adjusted after purchase unless carried out by PXG.

Available now in a chrome finish, the PXG 0317 X Driving Iron has a an 18-degree loft, similar to a 2-iron, but can be adjusted stronger or weaker. It has an RRP of £189.
