XCOR2 TECHNOLOGY

A result of years of research and development, XCOR2 is PXG’s revolutionary polymer core material, designed specifically for GEN5 Irons. Extremely lightweight, XCOR2 helps reduce the mass of the core. This enables more weight to be positioned low and to the perimeter of the backside of the clubhead, dramatically increasing MOI and forgiveness. Combined with our ultra-thin face technology, XCOR2 enhances the C.O.R. for extreme face deflection and out of sight ball speed.

The Power Channel is the proprietary U-shaped corridor built into the internal surface of the face to increase deflection and bend in the top sector. The channel creates face movement and transfers energy to simultaneously increases launch angle, trajectory, and ball speed.

GEN5 Irons feature five tungsten heel/toe weights and one large weight located near the CG on the back of the clubhead. The larger weight allows golfers to experience various swing weights during a fitting. This center weight can be adjusted in 2-gram increments to achieve optimal personalized performance. Weighting is not intended to be adjusted after purchase.

Milling the back surface of each iron is a high-precision process that reduces the wall thickness more than forging alone could achieve, to create a high-performance body design and an enhanced aesthetic.

Since PXG’s inception, our brand has maintained the thinnest face in golf. An industry breakthrough, our ultra-thin face technology continues to deliver unmatched feel and mishit performance. Combined with our proprietary XCOR2 Technology, GEN5 Irons offer our highest C.O.R. performance ever. Made from high strength HT1770 maraging steel and measuring a mere 0.058" (~1.55mm) thick.

PXG’s stunning Xtreme Dark irons are created using an advanced process called Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating.  DLC creates a hard, graphite-like, carbon-based coating that significantly extends the reasonable lifetime of our Black Label irons and wedges. Unlike the typical black PVD used by other equipment manufacturers, DLC is a three-layer process that includes a chromium base, a carbon-chromium mid layer, and a high-carbon top layer that is approximately 3/25,000 of an inch thick. This produces extraordinary wear resistance and a flawless look without influencing club performance relative to how the ball reacts.
 
The DLC coating is currently used in fuel injection systems and drilling and has a number of other promising applications for its superior abrasion resistance. PXG’s Xtreme Dark finish is the first application of black DLC coating technology in golf.

GEN5 Irons undergo a precision robotic polishing and laser welding process. Robotic polishing creates an extremely precise manufacturing process that supports consistent sole and face perimeter geometry with every club. Robotic laser welding the face around the outer perimeter of each club reduces the heat affected zone and provides a high strength and precise attachment method.
