New PXG 0311 ST irons have an eye watering price tag

A striking example of PXG’s precision engineering, these muscle backs are 100% milled from a triple-forged billet of 8620 soft carbon steel.

The strong, yet “soft” alloy helps prolong the life of the grooves and enhances the appearance of the irons over time.

Using a CNC mill, every surface, curve, and angle are produced to exacting specifications for consistent performance and advanced shot-making.

“When we invited Ryan to try our new milled irons as part of the development process, we couldn’t pry them out of his hands,” said  PXG founder Bob Parsons.

He added: “Based on his response, the response of several other outstanding golfers, and our testing, we knew we had achieved our goal. We created a 100% milled, pure tour blade that’s money if you’ve got the game.”

A pure tour blade, they feature PXG’s signature Perimeter Weighting Technology, a narrow sole design, and compact blade length.

These attributes support the performance characteristics desired by better players, including lower launch, more spin, and exceptional control.

Each clubhead is NiCr plated for corrosion resistance and presents an anti-glare finish to eliminate distractions at address.
