$299
The PXG Sugar Daddy III is a 3X forged, 100% CNC milled premium wedge crafted from 8620 soft carbon steel. Triple forging creates a tight grain structure that increases strength, extends groove life, and delivers exceptional feel. A unique wide groove pattern engages the ball cover 0.002 inches deeper than competitor narrow grooves, supporting approximately 25% more volume in cross-sectional area. Three innovative sole designs and swing weight adjustability make this a fitting-focused premium offering.
