PXG launches new 0317 ST blades
PXG has released its new milled PXG 0317 ST blades.
“Our team has done their homework on these blades, taking feedback from our professional staff and college players to inform all aspects of the design. From clubhead size, offset, and sole design to a flighted trajectory.” – PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons shared.
Each iron in the PXG 0317 ST set is triple forged from 8620 soft carbon steel in design to create a tight, strong grain structure that prolongs the grooves’ life and enhances the overall feel.
Then, the irons are CNC milled to ensure every surface, curve, and angle are produced to exact specifications. Finally, the blades undergo a precise robotic polishing process to refine the sole and other geometries for a flawless finish and excellent consistency club to club.
In addition to high-grade materials and precision manufacturing, PXG 0317 ST Blades are characterized by a unique, tour-inspired blended set design. Harder-to-hit 3- and 4-irons feature a cavity back that are designed to make it easier to hit the ball up in the air and increases forgiveness on mishits.
The remaining clubs in the set feature a solid-body design that aim to deliver a penetrating trajectory with high spin, exceptional consistency, and maximum control.
PXG 0317 ST blades also incorporate PXG’s Precision Weighting Technology to fine-tune performance further. The large tungsten weight on the back of the clubhead is used to optimize the swing weight/head weight target on the center-of-gravity location. Optimization can be experienced during an in-person golf club fitting and is dialed in as part of the custom build process.
The blades are named after the 0317 U.S. Marine Corps Scout Sniper.
The new milled PXG 0317 ST Blades are available in a Chrome ($199 per club) or Xtreme Dark ($219 per club) finish and are available now at www.PXG.com.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

I have never been a PXG fan. But a number of buds on the forum have sworn by these ST blades. I am eager to try these and with their prices low makes it affordable.
