PXG has rolled out what it says is five of its most sought-after Battle Ready II Putter models. The company says the new PXG® Battle Ready® II Darkness® Putters present an all-black finish complimented by PXG’s iconic Darkness Insignia. Available in the Bat Attack, Blackjack, Brandon, Closer, and Hercules putter designs, PXG says these putters deliver “exceptional consistency and a custom configuration” to suit every stroke.
With the introduction of a thin-walled hollow body, PXG Battle Ready II Darkness Putters reposition mass to the putter’s extreme perimeter, yielding a high MOI (~10% higher compared to the previous series) relative to the clubhead size. Proprietary S COR Technology, an extremely lightweight polymer, is injection molded into the hollow cavity—the material bonds to the face to dampen the sound and any harsh vibrations through impact. The structural support provided by the S COR material enables PXG to deliver golf’s thinnest putter face, 0.055″. This is advantageous to golfers because it dramatically enhances the forgiveness of the clubhead.
PXG says the Battle Ready II Putters also feature Pyramid Face Pattern Technology. The aggressively milled pattern creates the soft sounds of an insert putter while maintaining the responsive feel of a solid, milled putter. The pyramid density supports consistent interaction with golf ball dimples, while the pyramid geometry delivers a satisfying sound.
Precision Weighting Technology is employed in the sole to dial in each putter further. PXG says club fitters and consumers can use the weighting to alter the overall clubhead mass and influence launch conditions. Players who typically pull putts may benefit from adding heavier weights to the toe side of the putter, making it more difficult to close the face at impact. Players who typically push putts may benefit from adding heavier weights to the heel side of the putter, making it easier to close the face.
Battle Ready II Darkness Putters ($399.99) support four hosel configurations to suit any stroke – plumber’s neck, double bend, heel-shafted, and armlock. Select models also offer a center-shafted option.
PXG says he overall system – S COR Technology, ultra-thin face, Pyramid Face Pattern Technology, Precision Weighting Technology, and hosel option – reduces skid distance and creates optimal roll performance so golfers can achieve more consistency on the green.
