Why We Like It
Unlike the 0317 T, which has a hollow-body construction, the 0317 CB is a more traditional single-piece forging. With a longer blade length, thicker topline and wider sole, the CB provides a higher moment of inertia that reduces ball-speed loss on shots that fail to find the center of the face. The large weight in the back of the club can be adjusted during the fitting process (something PXG encourages) to achieve the optimal swingweight. The face is milled to ensure flatness and a precise control on thickness.

Reviews
Topline looks more forgiving at setup. Cuts through the turf really well. Center strikes feel reliable yet hot, and the ball flight is slightly higher than a typical players iron.
RC, 62, Handicap: 7A well-designed, lightweight clubhead that’s large enough to inspire confidence but still compact. The ball comes off with power and a penetrating flight.
Sang, 63, Handicap: 9Very industrial look to this club. The base of the clubhead is thicker, which allows for more forgiveness. Center strikes produce a consistent, pleasant sound and ball flight.
Skylar, 26, Handicap: 7Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
