PXG’s 100 Percent Milled 0311T Wedges Start at $650
Golfers can now purchase the PXG 0311T wedges they’ve been seeing in the bags of PGA Tour players for more than a year, but they better bring their checkbooks. The 100 percent milled wedges sell for $650-800 each.
“I have always wanted to design an entirely milled wedge, but it’s a time-consuming and expensive process,” says PXG’s Senior Designer Mike Nicolette. “With [PXG Founder] Bob Parsons’ support and commitment to exploring new processes and materials, we’ve been able to develop a collection of milled wedges that are nothing short of incredible.”
Making a 0311T Wedge
Unlike PXG’s 0311 wedges, the 0311T wedges are shaped with a CNC milling machine to ensures that “every line, curve and angle are produced to exacting specifications for consistent performance and advanced shot-making,” the company says. The construction process starts with an 11-pound block of forged 8620 carbon steel and takes 4.5 hours per wedge to complete. The benefit is that the process is completely automated, eliminating the inconsistencies of hand-finishing.
“We believe our new milled wedges could very well be the best-performing, most consistent wedges the golf industry has ever known,” Parsons says. “Every detail is held to the highest tolerance on a CNC mill and the finish is smoking hot.”
The 0311T wedges are available from PXG and its network of approved professional club fitters in four different sole designs that were inspired by the company’s PGA Tour players, as well as Parsons himself. Lofts range from 46-60 degrees. Learn more about each 0311T wedge below.
0311T Sugar Daddy
What PXG says: “The Sugar Daddy, currently played by World No. 1 Lydia Ko, serves as the one-size-fits-all wedge. It incorporates a moderate initial angle with a blended sole design. It can be used effectively from a wide variety of turf and sand conditions, allowing the golfer to use it for virtually any shot necessary.”
- Lofts: 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees
- Finishes: Chrome $650, Xtreme Dark $750
0311T Romeo
What PXG says: “Romeo, inspired by PXG’s pioneer touring professional Ryan Moore, incorporates a mild initial angle with minimal heel relief, allowing the lead edge to stay close to the ground. This creates an extreme amount of bounce when the face is open, making it ideal for playing from high rough or soft sand.”
- Lofts: 58, 60 degrees
- Finishes: Chrome $650, Xtreme Dark $750
0311T Zulu
What PXG says: “Zulu, inspired by Masters champion … Zach Johnson, incorporates a steep initial angle with aggressive heel and toe relief. This type of wedge is conducive to playing from tight turf or firm ground, as it keeps the lead edge close to the ground from both a square and open-faced position.”
- Lofts: 58, 60 degrees
- Finishes: Chrome $650, Xtreme Dark $750
0311T Darkness
What PXG says: “The Darkness wedge was inspired by none other than PXG’s founder himself. [Its] sole design incorporates a moderate initial angle with moderate heel relief, coupled with a slightly larger head size for added forgiveness. Darkness is part of a special collection of black clubs and gear that feature a skull insignia and the number 26, representing the 26th Marine Corps Regiment that Parsons served with during the Vietnam War.”
- Lofts: 55, 50 degrees
- Finish: Darkness $800

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut
Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.
So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)
Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.
Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.
Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.
Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.
Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:
“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.
Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”
And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.
Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
- ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”

i want to know if the feel is better, than their softer metal used in the 0311 wedges being switched from s25c carbon to 8620carbon….tolerances might be tighter and grooves last longer, but the softness of the original is it worth the change? i have darkness wedges, but am skeptical as how much tighter can they be if my swing weights are on point, are spec’d and play well, just Very soft. i don’t know how i feel about all the names all over them as i liked the cleaner look, but PXG has been good with doing however you want…that being said worth the switch from previous head?

So with a bag full of PXG’s you would NEVER let them out of your sight, or need some sort of carjack device on each club. “Start at $650.00”? that’s just stupid.
Matt
May 12, 2017 at 3:33 am
I think PXG as it is = a baby boomer ego trip. If this guy wanted to shake up the business and say we’re the best, couldn’t or shouldn’t he instead be footing it with the other OEM’s pro level gear in terms of retail price, with two points of difference being certified precision of manufacturing as well as genuine customisation options that the others don’t offer…?

Trying to re coup the $$$$$ they PGA & LPGA players…….good luck !
I recently posted a set of irons on EBay, which I left in the garden for the fairies to use. The super sprinkle star fairy shot 59 three times with them, I would be using them, but they are too short for me. Bids start at $6500.00. p.s you get a free bag of fairy dust with them.

First off, I play PXG irons–thought I wouldn’t, but they are the best I have played (I have played a ton of different sets) for my game. That said, I am considering, at some point, checking out one of these wedges.
Interesting that no one seems to mention that there’s been quite a few of these wedges seen in non-PXG staffer bags, including recent winner Kevin Chappell. Sure he get’s the for free, but he must like ’em better than anything else he gets for free…

AND THE NUMBER OF PROS PLAYING THESE WEDGES IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THEM WOULD BE???? They would have the $800 custom model, 3 wedges at least 3 new ones a year…9 times 800, $7,200 for a season…yea I would say ZERO. But for free why not.
birdie
May 10, 2017 at 8:43 am
if given these wedges for FREE i wouldn’t play them. i’d be embarrassed that anyone would look in by bag and think i was stupid enough to spend that kind of money on wedges. spending more money to get something better in return is one thing. spending more money just to have something that others can’t afford but is actually no better in quality that what the others are buying….flat out dumb. i’m all for capitalism, and hopefully a free market laughs pxg out of business.

I spent less than that on my ENTIRE BAG. And I consider my bag to be pretty nice…but even at $650? What is my money going towards? You mill a block of steel…like everyone else…on a machine…like everyone else…and that justifies what? There is like a 99% profit gain for PXG here…I doubt they spent all that much for the CNC machine, a block of steel, and a guy to push the button and read a magazine while it does his job for him. Especially for basically OTR clubs…at least Scratch had Don White to make custom sets of beautiful irons/wedges. That price I consider to be justified! I am sorry but I absolutely judge PXG users, they are all about that brand name when they could be spending all that money on a completely customized set of Edels which IMO are WAY cooler looking!

Crazy. There is no talent or added expense in milling a wedge on a milling machine. Push a button. Compare the Taylormade MG at 149. Or look at Bettinardi and their wedges 179. Give me some hand ground or something by Vokey and it isn’t that much. The new JP are 2000 for 3 plus all of the time spent there, and they are personalized.

Highly ignorant comment. More processing time means you produce less. If you produce less, you need to charge more to pay for the equipment and expenses.

stevemac
May 10, 2017 at 7:43 am
Thanks for your opinion. highly ignorant. Do handmade generally cost more or less- lets see. . . . the special Camerons, Mills putters with welded necks. Which takes more time? Doing it by hand or running it on a CNC? If you are familiar with that type of manufacturing you would see great time savings with a CNC.
KK
May 10, 2017 at 11:37 am
No thanks for changing the subject. This is not about “handmade,” whatever your definition is, pretty sure it’s wrong anyway, vs milled. It is a fact, not an opinion, that increased manufacturing time increases manufacturing cost, all else being equal. If you knew anything about CNC, manufacturing or business, you’d know that fact.

If I bought the woods, and the irons and wedges and the putter, do I get a Ferrari to dirve them around with? Sure wouldn’t want to put them in any old car. Oh, and I guess I need a parsons bag (4k).

I got one of the sand wedges…I went into the bunker, tossed the club in the air and said “do your thing”…the club turned around and knocked it one inch from the hole, then flew over and went back into my bag….I looked at it and said “you can’t even hole a bunker shot?”…so I sold it to kid for 20 bucks.

I bought a set of these. A 50 , 56 , 60. They are the best wedges I have ever played. The ball fight is spot on and my dispersion ratio has never been better. If you can live the price I recommend you get these. You won’t be disappointed.

If people are willing to pay $500+ for a milled putter, this is the next step, right? 100% automated w/ finishing for near perfection is an amazing (and expensive) feat. If someone is willing and able, why not offer it?
Don
May 9, 2017 at 1:56 pm
A putter you could use for your entire golfing life. A wedge is something – depending on how much you play – that would need to be replaced after a season or two.
Axelrage
May 9, 2017 at 2:10 pm
While that is true, how many of us actually stick with a putter (without buying others) for more than a few years? The longest I have gone is 2. Again, doesn’t matter for the target consumer, if the have the means they will pay.

Are casts or forgings less precise? As long as my wedges have the right lie loft angle, fresh grooves, and the right shaft, I’m good. 650 for 1? I’d rather get new wedges whenever they wear out. Who cares what wedge you are gaming.

The lesson is, there is a market for everyone. That is why you see bimmer going nuts with the 1 to 8 series and an x and m variant in all of them.

I’m at a loss here for the definition of “forged”. Sure, at one point that 11lb block of metal was heated and shaped… into a block. How can the club head be considered “forged” when no die or incredible force was used to shape the head?
BC
May 9, 2017 at 12:14 pm
The block of steel was most likely hot-rolled into shape, which, as you pointed out, is in no way, shape or form the same as forging. Talk about marketing nonsense.
new stuff!!
May 9, 2017 at 1:08 pm
OR… the 8620 carbon steel could be forged to any shape including a block and then milled to the shape of a wedge… kind of like what they said they did… why would you assume otherwise unless you were trying to put them down.
