PXG GEN 2 Spitfire Putter Preview: Adding Tactical Precision to Your Bag

PXG is releasing a new model to their GEN 2 Series of milled putters called the Spitfire.  The Spitfire, named for a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force before, during, and after World War II, presents a clean and unique design that is extremely easy to align and exceptionally forgiving. 

 

Part of PXG’s GEN2 putter collection, the Spitfire is one of nine club head types available.  Other models include the Closer, Lucky "D," Brandon, Mustang, Bat Attack, Mini Gunboat, Gunboat, and Operator.  Each clubhead is designed to be custom configured during a fitting, enabling golfers to select the style that best suits their eye and the hosel that best suits their stroke. 

The putter model in conjunction with the hosel chosen, whether double bend, plumber’s neck, heel-shafted or armlock, dictates the overall assembled mass.  Large sole weights (4 in the Spitfire) made of heavier tungsten and lighter titanium also influence club head weight and bias.  These weights, offered in 5g, 10g, 15g, and 20g options, are easily adjustable for optimal performance. 

A design focused on assisting golfers with aligning their putts, the Spitfire has two distinctive alignment features.  Angled surfaces pointing towards the front of the ball and a short distance down the line help keep a golfer's eyes focused on the start line of a putt.  Multiple parallel lines and perpendicular surfaces help to optically keep the putter square to the start line of a putt. 

 

The Spitfire also presents PXG innovative pyramid face pattern.  The small pyramid structures bite into the golf ball cover to create more consistent launch and roll characteristics, as well as an improved feel and sound. 

The size of the pyramids varies across the putter face with the highest pattern density around the center.  This is designed to offset ball speed loss typically experienced on mishits, ultimately leading to more consistent distance control across the entire face.
