PXG built the Stick'Em around one face shape that splits the difference between a traditional wedge and a high-toe design. The head is small and forged three times, yet it spins hard and forgives more than you would guess from looking at it.
What's new
Stick'Em arrived in March 2026 as a single head shape PXG calls Universal, a blend of traditional and high-toe profiles. Every loft, 50 through 60, shares that one look, so you never have to choose between two families.
Under the face sits 8620 soft carbon steel, forged three times. You get S and BP grinds, and testers found the two meaningfully different on the turf. Chrome comes standard, Xtreme Dark costs extra as the premium finish, and pricing lands in premium wedge territory, sold one club at a time.
How it plays
Feel leads the scorecard at 8.6, and forgiveness and workability both reach 8.4. A compact forged head rarely forgives this well. One reviewer called it out as a surprise, and that matches what we see in the numbers.
Among the 15 wedges in the group test, the 56-degree model spun at 9,098 rpm, carried 85.0 yards, and finished 87.8 percent of shots straight. Its average proximity was 10.4 feet. Accuracy scores 8.3, so the strike tends to end near the flag rather than just spinning a lot on the way there.
Where it lacks
Good numbers did not add up to a podium finish. Stick'Em ranked seventh of 15 in that test, which puts it in the middle of the field, and distance at 7.8 trails the rest of its scores.
Value is the weakest mark at 7.0. If you want the dark finish, it costs more again. Lofts end at 60, so anyone who carries a 62 or 64 degree wedge needs another brand for that slot.
“It feels great and spins hard, but seventh of 15 makes premium money a harder sell.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Three-times forged 8620 carbon steel earns an 8.6 for feel, its highest score
- Spun the 56-degree test head at 9,098 rpm with 10.4 feet average proximity
- S and BP grinds play differently enough that picking one actually matters
Reasons to think twice
- Finished seventh of 15 in a head-to-head wedge test, a middle-of-the-pack result
- Value scores 7.0, the lowest mark here, for a wedge priced like a premium model
- Lofts stop at 60 degrees, and Xtreme Dark sits above Chrome as a premium finish
