Echavarria carries a 6-PW set of PXG 0317 CB irons. These irons are for better players (or in Echavarria’s case, elite players) who seek high-spin and workable performance.

Each iron is three-times forged from 8620 carbon steel to create a tight grain structure, which increases the durability of the grooves and helps the overall feel.

What clubs does Zozo Championship winner Nico Echavarria play | Winner's bag

By: Jack Hirsh

The 0317 CBs feature a solid body construction in a small package to promote workability and the solid construction limits face movement to increase spin. Unlike many of today’s clubs, which promote a thinner face to increase distance, the PXG 0317 CBs actually have a thick face to promote increased spin. That thick face also promotes consistency for distance control.

Not only will increased spin promote stopping power, but combined with the small package is what allows this iron to be so versatile for shotmaking and shaping.

While Echavarria employs chrome-finished irons, you can also select PXG’s Xtreme Dark Finish, which uses a diamond-like coating for a striking black look.

Srixon ZX5 MK II (4- and 5-iron)

At the top end of his iron set, Echavarria goes with the Srixon ZX5 Mk II for both his 4- and 5-irons. While the 0317s are more about precision and control, the ZX5s are more distanced-focused.

The ZX5s have a more moderate blade length and offset in addition to a larger cavity to help promote launch and distance. The 4- and 5-irons that Echavarria plays, and every iron longer than the 8-iron in the set, all have a wider spacing between grooves, which is optimal for the longer shots those clubs are designed to hit.

The long irons also feature Srixon’s Tour V.T. sole design that include a proprietary combination of sole widths, bounce angles and notches to encourage a smooth glide through the turf.

Like the 0317 irons, Srixon also has the ZX5 Mk II in a Black Chrome finish and they recently went on sale on Fairway Jockey.
