What’s New About Sugar Daddy II?

Our PXG 0311 Sugary Daddy II brings new performance technology and aesthetic enhancements that will have your short game sharpened up in no time. Available in two gorgeous finishes, Chrome and Xtreme Dark – let’s check in to see what our new wedges have to offer.

Two Different Sole Options

With the Introduction of our new Sugar Daddy II Wedge, we now offer two sole options, the BP-Grind and the C-Grind.

BP-Grind: Designed for lush turf conditions, deep bunkers, and golfers with a steeper angle of attack. For the purposes of this test, you’ll see the BP-Grind powers through tough bunker lies like nobody’s business. The BP-Grind features a wider sole and a slight taper from heel to toe that produces higher bounce and maximum forgiveness.

C-Grind: Designed for firm and tight lies on the golf course. The C-Grind presents a narrow sole and aggressive tapered heel-to-toe design that allows skilled golfers to get creative around the green.

Full Face Grooves

There is no debate that catching a ball off the toe or heel is a shot we all unfortunately have in our bag of golf tricks. The full-faced, milled groove design on the 0311 Sugary Daddy II Wedge has made it possible for you to achieve more consistent ball contact and spin, even with off-center hits. With the milled grooves expanding to the perimeter of the face, you’ll feel greater confidence at address and enjoy improved results!

Precision Weighting Technology

The new Precision Weighting Technology presents swing weight adjustability during the PXG wedge fitting experience. The high toe weighting works to position the center of gravity (CG) in line with open face shots. This helps players to deliver greater impact consistency and overall forgiveness.
