Key Features
- The PXG Wedge is forged from a soft carbon steel, S25C, which possesses a tight grain structure for some of the best feeling wedges ever designed.
- Tungsten weights are placed around the perimeter, which increases the moment of inertia, which helps stabilize the clubhead, providing exceptional forgiveness.
- PXG Wedges feature a groove pattern that is wider than normal, which allows shorter shots to achieve more spin, which makes shots easier to control.
PXG Wedge Detailed Review
Design and Technology
When it comes to the short game, consistency is key, and the PXG Wedge is designed to provide the most consistent performance in spin, versatility, and trajectory control. It starts with the clubhead, which is forged from S25C carbon steel. This soft carbon steel produces incredible feel, allowing golfers to gauge their distances based on the contact better than with other wedges.
The PXG Wedge has an interesting groove and face pattern. Increased friction begins with a blasted face area, and if you look closely, there is laser etching in between the grooves. More friction means more spin, which translates into better control from 50 yards and in. The grooves are spaced farther apart than traditional wedges, which makes it easier to impart more spin on short shots.
Versatility is also important when it comes to wedges, and the PXG Wedge utilizes a straightforward, classic club head shape and simple sole grind, which makes it easy to open or close the face depending on the lie and still get great results from around the green. The tapered sole, which a narrow heel and wider toe, helps the club swing through cleanly with less drag, making it easier to control your distances. Lastly, the PXG Wedge is incredibly forgiving, with tungsten weights on the perimeter. You don’t have to hit it perfect every time to reap the benefits of a PXG Wedge.
