Golf clubs can be quite expensive, and while some people appreciate them as genuine art, no one likes the thought of potentially damaging one. It’s an uncomfortable feeling to stand over a shot knowing it could result in a ding, dent, or significant scratch on the sole or elsewhere. Golfers in desert areas often face […]

Great write up. Thanks. Interesting for a number of reasons. I guess it replaces one’s ??

Or, is it an emergency 15th?
 
This is a fun idea. I like it when OEMs go outside the beaten path.
 
Curious how this is received and what sales might be. Has its place in market.
 
Not anything I need to worry about but nice to see them come up with this unique idea and to price it affordably.
 
It’s kinda like a chipper that’s not really a chipper that is designed to destroy whatever it hits. I’m really tempted to buy this.
 
I think this is kinda cool, and would definitely have a use based on some of the experiences I had in Arizona.
 
With that length and loft, I could see using this when you need extra height on a wedge shot too. They probably won't sell a ton, but it's a cool idea.
 
I spend quite a bit of time without 14 clubs in the bag, so a specialty club like this always resonates a little more for me. I don't really have the use case with where I play, but it's a great idea. Looks pretty cool.
 
I gotta admit, I actually think this is pretty damn cool.

It’s a fun idea for our desert dwelling golf brethren.
 
I like this, and at $100 bucks it's reasonable too. Not something I deal with, but if I did play desert golf I'd want something like this so I don't mess up my gamer set.

Yeah, I’d likely be all over this if I played a lot of desert golf.
 
It's a pretty reasonable price, and I definitely have a use case for it. Niche product, but good idea by PXG.
 
if im ever in a position or lie that could damage my club, im not hitting it

At first i thought this was a pretty dumb idea, but as i read i found myself saying i could see the use for this for some people. Then when i saw it was only $99 i was convinced its a cool and unique idea. I dont know if there will be a ton of interest since im not a desert golfer but i think people would pay $99 for it and carry as a 15th club
 
Not anything that fits my needs, but I'm actually impressed with PXG thinking a bit outside the box and bringing something at a reasonable price that fits a small niche need. Good on them.
 
This club could really come in handy at most of the courses I play here in AZ!! Clever idea by PXG!
 
Thinking about this a little more, because the idea of a specialty club like this taking a bag spot could be a roadblock for some people.

Two questions for desert players:
  1. How often do you find yourself in these positions in an average round?
  2. Would you have a problem with a playing partner carrying this as a 15th club in a friendly round? How about a (non USGA official) match?
Personally I wouldn't care, but I understand others might feel differently.
 
This is the first thing from PXG that I think is really cool and unique, and its a great price as well for something that will take a beating. I don't have much use for it here but those that play desert golf may find it useful
 
I like the potential opportunity it creates for league play. You could allow one of these clubs to be with each foursome or cart that is a de facto 15th club, but it’s always the same club so no one can get any perceived advantage for having an extra
 
I've never been a PXG guy because of the shouty commercials they use to do but I really like the idea of this club. Kudos to them for coming up with this and the price is great too.

1. Often enough that I just play the iron than is called for to get back into position. More than once a round. If you want me to put a number on it.

2. You do you. Just have fun doing it.

A third question would be how many thrift store/garage sale clubs can you get for $100?

Would you consider adding one of these if you just bought a new set of irons?

That's a good point, though I do think the configuration is pretty versatile with the length and loft. Plus it does look really cool.
