PXG launches new Gen5 irons
PXG has today unveiled its new Gen5 irons, which arrive in three head shapes, as well as a driving iron option.
The irons feature a new proprietary core, XCOR2, and a Power Channel behind the face. The innovative new core results from a multi-year collaboration with material experts to develop a polymer specifically for PXG irons that is lighter and faster.
The Power Channel is designed to aid additional face loading at impact, increase the coefficient of restitution (COR) and transfer more energy back into the golf ball for faster ball speeds and more distance. Combined with the thinnest face in golf, the overall system aims to provide explosive performance and excellent soft feel.
The Gen5 irons also integrate Precision Weighting Technology, a sizeable adjustable weight located near the center-of-gravity (CG) on the back of the clubhead. This enables golfers to experience various head weight configurations quickly and easily during a fitting.
In addition, the all-new irons have a complex, five-times forged body geometry. Each clubhead is also CNC milled to create an exact, thin-walled, high-performance design.
The new irons from PXG are available in the following three head shapes
PXG 0311 XP irons: “Easy to hit, and provide formidable forgiveness and cannon like distance”
PXG 0311 P irons: “Introduce a sweet balance between forgiveness and playability”
PXG 0311 T irons:“Designed to put skilled golfers in total control of every shot”
PXG 0311 X driving iron: “Designed for golfers seeking maximum distance on tight fairways or in adverse conditions.”
PXG’s 0311 Gen5 irons are priced at $349 and are available in Chrome and an exclusive Xtreme Dark finish as part of a new Black Label Elite TM offering.
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Great looking irons! I especially like the reserve elite looks. Just ordered a set of the 0311t’s. Unlike Mizuno, I won’t have to wait months while they figure out who ordered what…LMAO

They certainly are committed to the screw aesthetics on the club. From the beginning they have had that same style with the screws. Not sure why it hasn’t evolved much?

They should charge more for their woods. One iron is the price of one of their fairways.

These clubs are for people who like to spend a lot of money playing badly.

PXG – The place good golfers go to get lost. Zach Johnson is about to lose his tour card. WISE UP! – Billy Horschel and Lydia Ko did.

Eventually maybe they’ll get it right. Keep marking down the previous Gen and doing it again. But currently, everyone who leaves PXG wins one of their first events with new gear (Lydia Ko, CHIII, Billy Horschel). Zach Johnson should head that notion. Zach used to be in the top 20 each week with Titleist. Now Zach is world 220 and may lose his tour card.
Every 30 handicapper at my club plays PXG.

What has ever justified the price of these clubs? Even if price was no issue, why these over other clubs? I’ve never seen a material difference.

Another price complainer. If you don’t want to pay for them there are other options. There is a huge difference in quality especially with the 0311ST irons. Problem is almost nobody fits into that category.

GP would that quality be the 13th at the masters? “head flying off”, plus every pro that has left PXG has played better – Billy and Lydia!
Rich Douglas
Apr 15, 2022 at 8:05 pm
Pretty rude.
I didn’t complain about price. I was talking about value. What justifies the huge difference? Is there a material advantage over others? The price, when brought into the conversation, magnifies the issue. It’s not the issue itself.
I recently paid a fitter about $250 a club for the iron set I use now. It’s not about the money.
I think this is about vanity, which makes it even worse. It means paying a higher price for the same performance as other clubs. It makes buyers into suckers.
Tyler Durden
Apr 16, 2022 at 3:28 pm
People worried about what other people decide what has value to them and what they decide to spend their own money shouldn’t matter to anybody else.
You’re not going to to buy PXG so what do care about anything they do?
Rich Douglas
Apr 17, 2022 at 12:09 am
This is a discussion thread about clubs. My question is a legitimate one. Note that no one–no one at all–has made a case for these irons…at any price.
Just feeding egos.

You’ve seen only bad golfers play PXG? Is a +2 considered a good golfer in your bizarre view? PXG irons feel better than my Mizuno Tours. Best feeling irons I’ve hit.
Some people have a very strange reaction to PXG. Guess what? You don’t need to play PXG irons and I don’t have to play your irons. But the irons are excellent. The comment about only bad players play PXG is extremely stupid. I’ll let you in on a big secret: Most golfers aren’t very good. Regardless of the irons they play.

At 84, I’m a seasoned golfer. very seasoned, and have bought clubs for 70 years, including working in a golf store for a couple of years. Just bought their woods, and found the fitting process to be outstanding. The owner has turned the golf club business into a very different and stylish setting, and a quality golf club that is remarkable. In 5 years he’s now number 2 in retail sales, and it’s very understandable when you see the club price options and a fitting process that costs $50.00 smart dollar investment. Plus a putter choice that is really special. Well done, PXG.

You know the sales figures of a private company that doesn’t disclose sales figures? …..Of course you don’t, which means you made up the #2 in retail sales statement (likely closer to #7 behind Calloway, Taylormade, Ping, Titleist, Cobra & Mizuno). Ask anyone in connection with a competing OEM brand and you’ll notice no one is worried by PXG anymore. When they stated fitting folks over the phone for irons, the brand sold its soul for a quick dollar.
Huh...
Apr 14, 2022 at 5:44 pm
Ummm, PXG isn’t #2 in retail sales even in their own stores…
