Gear: PXG One and Done putter
Price: $525
Specs: Aluminum body with tungsten weight and adjustable weight screws in the sole.
PXG has announced the release of the second putter in the company’s Battle Ready family, the One and Done, a mallet that offers a blend of materials and technologies designed to help golfers improve their alignment and enhance distance control.
The first putter in the Battle Ready collection, the Blackjack, was released in October.
Looking at the One and Done in the address position, a player’s eyes will immediately see a white golf ball-size disk on the top of the putter, bracketed by a pair of white lines. There is also a single alignment line in the center of the topline. These three elements are designed to work in harmony and make it easier for a player to square the face to the target line.
The matte black portion of the chassis of the One and Done is made from aerospace-grade aluminum, which is extremely light. PXG designers then gave the putter a C-shaped tungsten piece that wraps around the back of the sole. The heavier tungsten pulls the center of gravity down and back, away from the hitting area, which helps boost stability on off-center hits.
The grooved face of the One and Done was designed to help golfers improve distance control. The grooves are packed more tightly in the center of the hitting area, and the pattern loosens in the heel and toe areas. Studies have shown that tightly packed grooves slow a ball down more than loosely packed grooves, so the configuration in the One and Done normalizes ball speed over a larger portion of the hitting area. That should mean more consistency and enhanced distance control.
The four weights in the sole of the One and Done are not designed to be adjustable for consumers. They allow fitters to change the swing weight of the club based on its finished length and a player’s preferences.
To further enhance personalization, the One and Done can accommodate four shaft and hosel configurations – plumber’s neck, heel-shafted, double bend, and armlock – to help balance the putter in a way that optimizes it for any player’s stroke type.
