Over the last two seasons, there has been a surge of fresh players to golf, but the equipment most “never-evers” wind up using is either borrowed or old, lacking modern technologies that can make learning to play the game a lot more fun.
PXG has focused on creating clubs that look like equipment made for accomplished golfers, but those feature hidden technologies that make the company’s game-improvement and max game-improvement products more powerful and forgiving.
With the release of the new 0211 Z set, the Scottsdale, Arizona-based company is doing something completely different and trying to appeal to players who have decided to make their first investment in golf.
Everything about the 0211 Z woods and irons was designed with beginners in mind. For example, the set has 10 clubs in it instead of 14 to keep things simple for golfers who are just learning to play. There is a driver, a 4-wood, a 5-hybrid, a 6-iron through sand wedge and a putter. A golf bag and headcovers also come standard.
The driver, 4-wood and hybrid have adjustable hosels, but PXG knows most sets will be purchased online because beginners are often intimidated by the custom fitting process. On the company’s website, golfers only need to tell PXG their gender, age, height and whether they are right-handed or left-handed. Using that basic information, PXG will build a set and ship it.
At $1,695, this is not the cheapest way for beginners to get clubs. But for someone who has fallen in love with the game, who has the means and who is committed to playing, it is an uncomplicated way to get some state-of-the-art technology in their hands to make things easier. The driver, fairway wood and hybrid are available for $795, and the 6-iron through sand wedge are also available for $795.
