If you’re looking for the headline, it’s this:

PXG says GEN7 – its new flagship ultra-premium iron family – represents the greatest leap forward in company history and the largest GEN-to-GEN gains ever.

Yes, that’s the kind of thing we expect to hear with nearly any release. I mean, I’ve yet to be in a room where the R&D guys were like, There’s really not much here. Frankly, it’s not even our best work.

Having said that, there’s more than enough here to suggest golfers should experience better performance with GEN7.

PXG 0311 GEN7 irons – Two models

As was the case with GEN6, the GEN7 lineup consists of two models: GEN7 P (Players) and GEN7 XP (Xtreme Performance). For those looking for a GEN7 T iron, I’ll remind you that what was the “Tour” offering in the GEN lineup was rolled into the 0317 (better players series) not long after GEN6 launched.

Of all the OEMs in golf, PXG dares you – no, it triple-dog dares you to pigeonhole it into a category.  Label it a vanity premium brand for people with more money than brains? Here comes the PXG 0211 lineup which might be one of the best value offerings in golf.

Just when you think it’s turning into a value-priced brand, here comes the new Gen7 lineup and, specific to this article, the new PXG Super Daddy III wedges.

PXG’s latest Sugar Daddy update continues the wedge line’s metamorphosis from ultra- (and we do mean ultra) premium price point to something that might be seen as a relative bargain.

The key word there, friends, being relative.

In any case, Sugar Daddy’s journey from niche wedge to versatile full line is a fascinating study. By any measure, the new PXG Sugar Daddy III wedges represent a major overhaul to the line. Whether they find their way into your bag is between you, your golf game and your wallet.

Launched alongside the new 0311 GEN7 offering, PXG is releasing what the company bills as its first true game-improvement iron.

Confused?

My first reaction to that was: What about 0211?

Look, we could go back and forth on that all day but, labels aside, the point of distinction between what PXG has done to date and Black Ops is that the latter represents a sizable departure from PXG’s typical approach to iron design.

Going back to the original 0311, PXG’s design philosophy has been to pack as much performance as possible into a package that, by some measure, resembles a blade. And while nobody is going to confuse the new GEN7 XP with an 0317 Milled Blade, the larger point is that PXG has put extensive effort into hiding the size of its irons.

Have you heard of Boxto?

They’re an up-and-coming golf shoe brand hell-bent on making shoes from the best material money can buy. Boxto shoes are handcrafted in Mexico from real leather. Trust me when I say that the glue and leather smell wafting from a Boxto shoebox is perfection.

(Oh, you don’t sniff your shoes? Just me?)

Boxto teamed up with the Nicklaus Companies to release a special collaboration. The collection features two premium models, the Legacy Pro (pictured here) and the even more premium Heritage Malaga.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_66b535ec3f60f' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

I’m not saying these are too pretty to wear. But I am saying they’d look mighty fine in a display case. In any case, the Legacy Pro is the more “wearable” of the two. It’s got a lightweight EVA midsole (I will say they’re still fairly heavy compared to non-leather golf shoes), a responsive polyurethane (PU) insole and a TPU outsole for abrasion resistance and torsional support.

Nelly Korda is looking to earn another gold medal at the 2024 Olympics. Here are some of her key honors and accomplishments.

Brandt Snedeker was named the recipient of the Payne Stewart Award on Tuesday, given annually to a golfer who best exemplifies the late World Golf Hall of Famer's values of character, charity and sportsmanship.

In just her second year on Tour, the No. 9-ranked player in the world aims to meet her own lofty expectations.

European Ryder Cup team qualifying has been reconfigured to emphasize the majors.

Filed under Predictable Things, COBRA has re-released a limited run of its 3D-printed LIMIT3D irons.

The original run was limited to 500 individually numbered sets. According to COBRA, despite the $3000 price tag, the original batch sold out within hours.

The fresh batch won’t be numbered.

Why 3D Printed

You’ll find a full rundown of the irons and the technology that powers them here, but the key takeaway is that 3D printing allows for the creation of complex structures that are simply not possible with conventional manufacturing methods like forging, casting, and even milling.

The internal lattice structures of the LIMIT3D irons allow for a full third of the clubhead’s weight to be repositioned to areas where it can improve performance.

Imagine, just for a second, a world with no noise. No distractions. Complete peace.

Sounds enticing, doesn’t it? Perhaps for a few minutes, it would be relaxing. But after a bit, it would start to get boring.

There’s nothing quite like the cry of a newborn baby. The roar of a raucous crowd. A theme park packed with screaming riders. Sometimes, it takes a little chaos to fully experience the highs and lows that make life so extraordinary.

Golf is the same. There’s a place for peace and quiet on the golf course. Golf’s most defining moments often start with complete silence. But it’s not the silence before Tiger’s putt to force a playoff at the 2008 U.S. Open that people remember. It’s the primal roar from both Woods and the crowd that lives forever.

Golf is better when there’s chaos. That’s ultimately the idea behind adidas’ flagship spikeless golf shoe, the CODECHAOS 25. An extension to my favorite franchise in golf footwear, the new CODECHAOS 25 is, among other things, “impossible to ignore.”

I’ve long been a skeptic of Olympic golf.

Maybe it’s because the format strangely has no team element, or because the top players were slow to embrace the tournament. Or, as straightforward as this is, maybe Olympic golf is just new. The majors have ample history; Olympic golf lacks some of that context.

But after watching Sunday’s epic final round in Paris, I have to admit I’m reassessing my view that the tournament is on par with a second-tier PGA Tour event.

Will it ever be at the level of a major? Probably not. Still, I’m thinking Olympic golf might be on a trajectory to zoom past the FedEx Cup, Presidents Cup and even a few coveted Tour stops.

Here are five reasons why I’m reconsidering my stance.
