The 8-iron through pitching wedge have a slightly higher CG to deliver a lower ball flight and help prevent ballooning. “The most significant changes are in the shorter, scoring irons. Here’s Scott White again explaining how the new PTx Pro generation comes with an even higher center of gravity compared to the original PTx launched back in 2016:
The trick is to keep the height of each head’s center of mass relatively the same through the set, whether it’s a wedge or a 3-iron. What they are trying to do is to achieve what the company describes as a more linear center of gravity through the set instead of dropping the CG as low as possible, which sounds rather cryptic, but it makes sense from an engineering point of view. However, it’s worth mentioning that Ben Hogan’s Research and Development department is not downplaying the benefits of having a low center of gravity on their scoring (longer) irons in the PTx Pro set. The result of this is ballooning short irons and inconsistent distance control.” “The CG of every other iron set on the market decreases (gets lower to the ground) as you move towards the pitching wedge.Loft is the biggest contributor to launch so you don’t need to double down and have a lower CG along with higher loft. they keep their scoring irons’ center of gravity relatively higher compared to other brands, in order to produce a flatter: Here’s Scott White, Ben Hogan’s CEO and president “mansplaining” (just kidding) how the new generation is very similar to the original PTx in this regard, i.e. It’s true that most golf gear manufacturers are trying to lower the center of gravity as much as possible, and they are doing this for years, but Ben Hogan took a different approach with their new PTx Pro. Rant aside, the dual construction/composite material used in the PTx Pro irons is aimed at preventing the iron’s CoG (center of gravity) from getting too low, and this is literally the thing that makes these babies rather unique.
But don’t worry, as most companies in the golf industry are doing the exact same thing, and the rest of the business is taken care of by their marketing departments. the new irons are very similar to the older ones, but they come updated with the latest technological bells and whistles in the company’s portfolio. Ben Hogan can be described as a niche company, mostly dedicated to golf enthusiasts, and if you fall into the respective category, you’ll be pleased to learn about the new PTX Pro irons, which share the two-design “tech platform” of the original PTx gen, and they’re also built using composite materials for the best experience in golf money can buy.īasically, the new generation builds on the success of the original product, making for an incremental upgrade of sorts, yet Ben Hogan seems to follow that philosophical concept about “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, i.e.
