The 0317 CBs fill a logical place in the PXG iron lineup. They are a cavity back construction with a tungsten back weight and are a complimentary model to the 0317 STs or Super Tour blades introduced in Sept 2022.
The cavity back provides added forgiveness and provides greater MOI compared with a blade-design iron. Blended sets comprised of a mixture of the two models is a realistic possibility combining the forgiveness of the 0317 CB in the long irons and the greater control of the 0317 ST blades for the short irons. The stock loft and lie of the two models are the same.
“For golfers who love the look and playability of a blade but know their game could use a little forgiveness every now in then, our new CB Irons are just the ticket,” PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons said. “From clubhead size, offset, and sole design to a flighted trajectory, these irons perform beautifully in the hands of better players.”
