Each one of these stories is just one example of what inspires us to continue making some of the world\u2019s finest golf equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DO YOU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all tried to emulate the swings and swagger of our favorite tour professionals. From Zach Johnson\u2019s effortless short game to Wyndham Clark\u2019s powerful drives to Ryan Moore\u2019s signature body wiggle before settling over a putt, we\u2019ve tried to put ourselves in their metaphorical shoes. Try as we might, our swings are our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working to be someone you\u2019re not \u2026 not on our watch. Adjusting your game to meet the requirements of your equipment \u2026 hell no. PXG encourages you to celebrate your individuality with equipment that lets you do you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We caught up with a few of our #PXGTroops to show you just how different our players are, and their bags can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BREAKING 80<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing over a tour blade is not for the faint of heart, but for Chris Vasso there is nothing more beautiful. The proud owner of PXG 0311 T GEN3 Irons since December of 2019, Chris\u2019 goal of besting himself on the golf course is no longer a pipe dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe very first round I played them, on hole number one, I stuck my PXG 6-Iron 8-feet from the pin. My playing partner looked at me and said, \u2018Whatever you paid for them, looks like you got the results you wanted!\u2019 Since then I\u2019ve cut my handicap almost in half and broke 80 for the first time thanks to PXG!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PXG Customer - Chris Vasso\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3S5r1qNRLyc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s in Chris\u2019 Bag?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PXG 0811 X Proto Driver with AD GP7X +1\/2\u201d and Golf Pride Microsuede Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311 T GEN3 Irons, 5-G with KBS C-Taper Lite 115g XStiff Shafts +1\u201d and PXG Lamkin Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311 P GEN2 3-4 &#8211; KBS C-Taper Lite 115g XStiff Shafts +1\u201d and PXG Lamkin Grips<\/li><li>Mid Wedges: PXG GEN1 0311 Forged Wedge, 54\u00b0 (torched after purchase) with a KBS C-Taper Lite 115g XStiff Shaft +1\u201d and PXG Lamkin Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311T Sugar Daddy Milled Wedge, 58\u00b0 with a KBS C-Taper Lite 115g XStiff +1\u201d and PXG Lamkin Grips<\/li><li>Mid Hybrid (occasionally used in lieu of 3-iron): PXG 0317X GEN1 Hybrid with a Fujikura Pro 2.0 8S Hybrid Shaft +1\/2\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HANDICAP DOWN. ENJOYMENT UP.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Chris, Matt Fehringer is a spirited competitor on the golf course and loyal PXG Troop. Matt first fell in love with PXG clubs after hitting GEN1 Irons. From that day forward there was no turning back. Today, he has PXG\u2019s latest technology in play. \u201cI take golf very seriously and these clubs have greatly improved my game. I demand the best out of myself and expect that from my golf equipment as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since adding PXG clubs to his bag Matt has seen his handicap plummet. Playing to a 3.9, he is well on his way to scratch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PXG Customer - Matt Fehringer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SvNoJAOGfTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, what is Matt\u2019s current setup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PXG 0811 X Prototype Driver, 9\u00b0 set to 11\u00b0 with a Fujikura Pro 63 Stiff Shaft and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0341 X GEN2 3-Wood, 15\u00b0 with a Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 50g Stiff Shaft and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0341 X GEN2 5-Wood, 18\u00b0 with an Aldila NV 60g Stiff Shaft and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0317 X GEN2 Hybid, 19\u00b0 with a Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 80 Stiff Shaft and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0311 XP GEN3 Irons, 5-G with Aerotech steelfiber i95 Regular Flex Shafts and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311T Darkness Milled Wedge, 55\u00b0 with Mamiya Recoil Shaft 460\/f2 and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311T Zulu Milled Wedge 60\u00b0 Mamiya recoil shaft 460\/f2 and Golf Pride Multi Compound Grips<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During a recent trip to Dismal River Golf Club, Matt holed out for eagle from 140 yards with his GEN3 Pitching Wedge on the 7th hole on the Nicklaus White Course. His father, father-in-law, and brother-in-law were all witnesses to the epic shot, making it that much sweeter and motivating the others to switch to PXG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MADE FOR ME<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Tori Branch golf is just like life, \u201cone shot at a time.\u201d After one particularly unfair shot, Tori\u2019s aspirations of playing at the highest level came to a screeching halt. A horrible accident nearly cost Tori her foot and any chance she had at moving forward in Q School. It has taken Tori two-and-a-half years just to walk, let alone swing a golf club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Tori isn\u2019t resigning her clubs to the attic. She is boldly stepping up to the tee box and not taking anything for granted. \u201cThere are only two kinds of golfers, those who are humble and those who are about to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intrigued by PXG as a club fitter and player, Tori loves that PXG\u2019s golf clubs are not mass produced or available off the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, what are Tori\u2019s go-to PXG clubs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PXG 0811 XF GEN2 Driver, 10.5\u00b0 with Aldila Orange 53g Shaft -1\/2\u201d<\/li><li>PXG 0311 XF GEN2 Irons, 1\u00b0 upright with MCA Graphite Shafts, Regular Flex and Iomic 1.8 Sticky Grips<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TYING EVERYTHING TOGETHER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have had a number of sets of golf clubs purpose built and fitted for me but I have never been able to identify a brand that could provide me with the look, quality, feel, sound, distance and tight dispersion I was looking for right across the bag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter PXG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart McConnachie is an avid golfer who finds the occasion to play no matter where his travels take him \u2013 the U.S., Japan, U.K. \u201cI have been fortunate to live, work, and travel all over the world with my career. My golf clubs have always travelled with me and I have had memberships at several international golf clubs and enjoyed playing many more. I have made so many friendships as a consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those friendships now extend to include several of PXG\u2019s Fitting Specialists who have helped Stuart build two sets of PXG golf clubs. \u201cI now have the perfect combination in my bag for general play and another set for competition play, also used for playing links golf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the latest in Stuart\u2019s bag?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXGM-629-news-article-header.jpg\" alt=\"Image featuring close up of golf clubs peaking out of golf bag.\" class=\"wp-image-350\" width=\"367\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXGM-629-news-article-header.jpg 580w, https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXGM-629-news-article-header-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PXGM-629-news-article-header-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PXG 0811 X GEN2 Driver, 10.5\u00b0 with a Tensei Orange Reg Shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0341 X GEN2 Fairway Wood, 16\u00b0 with a Tensei Blue Reg Shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0341 X GEN2 Fairway Wood, 21\u00b0 with a PX Riptide CB 60 5.5 shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0311 T GEN3 Irons W, 9, 6 with Aerotec Steelfiber 70a Shafts and Lamkin Z5 Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311 ST 8, 7 with Aerotec Steelfiber 70a Shafts and Lamkin Z5 Grips<\/li><li>PXG 0311 P GEN3 Irons 5 with Aerotec Steelfiber 70a Shafts and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0311T Sugar Daddy Milled Wedges, 50\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 with KBS Tour 110 R Shafts and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0311T Darkness Milled Wedge, 55\u00b0 with a KBS Tour 110 R Shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG Limited Edition Darkness Operator (#384) with a Super Stroke Darkness 10 Flatso Grip and 50g weight<\/li><li>Occasionally in the rotation:<ul><li>PXG 0317 X GEN2 Hybrid, 19\u00b0 with a Tensei Blue Shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG 0811 X+ Proto Driver, 10.5\u00b0 with a Tensei Orange Shaft and Lamkin Z5 Grip<\/li><li>PXG Brandon Putter<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you play golf for pleasure or sport, competition or camaraderie, your equipment should be as unique to you as your swing and your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s in your bag?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is part of a series dedicated to our #PXGTroops and their love of the game.
