SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — PXG has debuted its latest golf club technology – the PXG Blackjack Putter. The first release in the company’s new Battle Ready Collection, the Blackjack is a mallet-style moneymaker fully optimized for stability and forgiveness on every stroke.
“From MOI and CG location to balance and stability, we’ve optimized absolutely everything on our new Blackjack Putter,” PXG Founder & CEO Bob Parsons stated. “Since putts account for roughly 40 percent of shots taken, why not put the odds in your favor with PXG’s Blackjack Putter.
The 100% milled Blackjack Putter introduces a new bi-material construction, integrating aerospace-grade aluminum with high-density tungsten to support a deep center-of-gravity (CG) location. By locating the CG farther away from the face, it is more difficult for a player to twist the face angle off its natural path during the stroke. This improves the player’s ability to deliver the face square at impact.
Additionally, the Blackjack features a new variable-sized, pyramid face pattern with groove depth optimized to increase the center hit velocity. The design also helps ensure consistency in all significant factors that affect roll, including initial ball velocity, launch angle, spin rates, and skid distance.
The Blackjack presents large sole weights made of heavier tungsten and lighter titanium that influence clubhead mass and bias. These weights, offered in 5g, 10g (standard), 15g, and 20g options, are easily adjustable for optimal performance.
With an overall adjustable weight range of 330g to 445g, the Blackjack’s assembled mass is further defined by the PXG hosel chosen. The putter can be purchased with one of four hosel types – heel-shafted, double bend, plumber’s neck, and armlock – to suit any stroke.
Hosel Type | Standard Weight | Max Head Weight | Min Head Weight |
Double Bend | 360g | 400g | 330g |
Heel Shafted | 370g | 410g | 340g |
Plumbers | 380g | 420g | 350g |
Armlock | 405g | 445g | 375g |
The sole of the Blackjack features PXG’s iconic Darkness Insignia – a skull with the number 26. The insignia commemorates Bob Parsons’ service as a rifleman (0311) with the 26th Regiment of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.
Built to spec, the new PXG Blackjack Putter retails for $525 but is being introduced at a special price of $395. For more information or to book a golf club fitting, visit PXG.com or call 844-PLAY-PXG.
