PXG Sugar Daddy

Player-oriented, with hidden help - a compact head among the smallest available, traditional and geared toward the better player, though high-toe weighting draws the CG higher and toward the center to improve playability on open-face chips and pitches. Demanding by wedge standards, though the toe weighting steadies open-face shots.

Best-in-class spin and control - launch-monitor testing rated it the highest-spinning wedge tested, a couple hundred rpm clear of second, the tighter groove radius from 100% milling giving increased and more consistent spin from a variety of lies and weather. Elite distance control on the scoring shots.

Tour-caliber shot-making - two sole options, the 07 (narrower, less bounce) and 09 (fuller, more bounce), with the 07 performing brilliantly even in muddy lies, its trailing-edge relief letting the face open without leading-edge worry, the compact better-player head built for working shots. Among the more versatile wedges for shaping and opening the face.

Elite milled feel - a soft and solid blend, with buttery softness and the oomph of a satisfying strike, precise enough to detect impact location through the hands. The 100% CNC-milled 8620 carbon steel, roughly 3.5 hours per head, delivers a premium tactile experience. Among the very best wedge feels in golf.

Premium, low-pitched note - a bass-y click on center contact that dulls noticeably on off-center hits, adding feedback. The 100%-milled construction gives a solid, understated acoustic. A satisfying, premium milled sound.

Premium but polarizing - a traditional, better-player look with a compact head among the smallest available, but the milled design with visible screw weights is a love-it-or-hate-it club. A premium, intricately milled head. Clean classic shape, divisive backside.
