The new Xtreme Dark finish features a black Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating that significantly increases the surface hardness of each club\u2019s finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPXG was on a mission to introduce a black iron finish that would not fade overtime and would resist showing signs of wear and tear,\u201d said PXG chief product&nbsp;officer Brad Schweigert. \u201cWe discovered that DLC coating not only produces an extraordinary look without influencing club performance relative to how the ball reacts, but also significantly extends the reasonable lifetime for the black finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DLC is a hard, graphite-like, carbon-based coating with exceptional tribological properties under high loading conditions. Simply put, the finish is engineered for performance. The relatively new coating is currently used in fuel injection systems, but also has a number of other promising applications including doubling or tripling the useful life of prostheses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PXG\u2019s Xtreme Black finish is the first application of black DLC coating technology in golf. The company\u2019s durability testing has found the coating to be significantly better than anything currently available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe process is expensive, but the results are remarkable,\u201d said PXG founder Bob Parsons. \u201cThe PXG Xtreme Dark finish is rock solid and absolutely beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PXG 0311 and 0311T\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/en-us\/clubs\/legacy\/0311-gen1\/0311t\">golf irons<\/a>\u00a0and wedges are now available in very limited quantities in PXG\u2019s \u201csmoking hot, gotta have\u201d Xtreme Dark finish at an additional charge of $100 per iron.
