Let me start by saying thank you Andy. I just started golfing again after about a 13 year or so layoff. I was playing with a set of TaylorMade Burners & also a set of ping i3's. I decided I was going to start playing again so I bought a set of PXG 0211 with graphite regular shafts. MAN! These clubs are sweet. I am hitting everything long & strait. Then I decided to get a new Driver, PXG 0211 & I am very very impressed. After the long layoff I didn't think I would be hitting the ball this good. Thank You Andy for steering me in the direction of PXG clubs & thank you PXG for making such a great product.
Andy, in reference to your question about price drops after purchase, this happened shortly after I purchased my Gen 3 irons. PXG contacted me and gave a credit to use to purchase items from PXG. Thought it was a nice gesture from the company! Keep up the great work with your videos! Love them!!
A little different than your post. I've just sent some irons back to alter the loft and lies , picked up for free and delivered back for free. I think it was a great gesture by PXG seeming I got the irons at the ridiculous price drop they've offered . I've never got this service before except from Ping.
This happened to me recently when I bought the Gen4 full bag in xtreme dark. The GEN5’s had just released and the black elite were $1,500 more than the 4’s. 1 week after I took delivery PXG dropped the gen5 full bag by $1,000. I called to complain as I would have got the 5’s for an extra $500 at that point. Was given a credit on the price drop difference of the GEN4’s which also went down $450. Used that credit to get the gen5 driver
@@edanzore yeah name one other golf equipment brand that changes their product pricing multiple times a year?! The clubs are fire but the price changes are bull. Looks like you just got a black set yourself at their current discounted prices so I’m sure you can’t relate to this issue
I was fit and bought a set of the gen3 T irons last week, and absolutely love them. I can't afford the gen5 current ones, but I tried gen 3 and gen4 back to back and preferred the 3rd gen in terms of feel and i just hit them better- paid only 99 usd each club - CRAZY value
I've always been a pure blade player. Played a pratice round with full set of gen 3 0311t and ordered the full set that day. My P730s are permanently on the shelf.
Played second hand irons for the last twenty years between ping eye 2s and ping S58s. When the 0211s went down to $79 per iron, I treated myself. Couldn't be happier. Dropped my handicap to a 9 and recently added the Proto driver which I am enjoying as well. Great quality equipment at a better than reasonable price point.
That’s awesome. I’m currently playing at a 15. I’m setup for a fitting on Sunday. I’m interested in the 0211 DC. Are you able to work the ball left or right when you need too? What shaft setup did you go with? I’ve been playing stiff steel and have been thinking about going graphite.
@@AgavePiper I can work it both ways with these, the offset is minimal which I really like. I currently have the elevate shafts. Was worried about the ball ballooning but not an issue. I play in the northeast so I prefer to keep the ball down with windier conditions come the fall and early spring. Best bet is to hit both shafts at your fitting and see what the numbers say. Good luck and enjoy the process. Let me know how you make out.
Just ordered gen4 xp/p irons during there Labor day sale. They were $140 us per club. Wise I could of afforded the gen 5. Can't wait to receive them. Luv your channel
I am returning the Gen5 irons. PXG currently has a 60 day return policy with no restock fee. They are very good irons but not significantly better than my 2021 P790. I get a much higher ball flight with the P790 and nearly the same distance. I am less concerned about sound and feel. I kind of like the clicky sound of a center hit that I get with the P790. My Gen5 driver is a keeper, however.
2 months ago I bought the 0211 irons (5-GW) in the stock steel shafts. I love them! 😁 I hit them just as far as the TaylorMade P790 irons. PXG’s low price 💵 was a big deciding factor.
Just bought the Gen 4s on the full bag special after not playing for almost five years. Great price. Will probably be at least a year before they significantly cut prices on Gen 4s again so I'll get some good use out of them before that. I think it kinda works both ways. One might my upset that resale value is down but the newer models sho be cheaper as well and you may actually come out ahead with the price cuts. Wanted Gen 4s because I didn't want to spend Gen 5 money but I wanted the Gen 5 driver. After hitting them both during my fitting, I performed better with the Gen 4. I got my clubs 7 days after order which is amazing! I have buddies waiting 6-8 weeks. My bag didn't ship with my clubs and which was unfortunate because I am supposed to play multiple rounds this weekend. When I told the local store I needed the bag, they gave me one from their store inventory and will just replace it with mine when it comes in. For anyone debating on these clubs or the company in general, my experience has been amazing. The fitting was no doubt an amazing value and top notch experience. Where else can you get a full bag fitting (90 minutes) for $50?
I went in last year to get the zero 311 GEN three, but they were having a closeout sale on the GEN two, and I was able to get them for $89 a club. Has completely changed my golf game, and has added 25 yards to each club.
have had the Gen 2 SGI irons......Gen 3 XP irons.....Gen 4 P irons......the ones i keep going back to are the Gen 2 they just seem best for me....curious about the Gen 5 ( pricey ) and also intrigued on the PXG 211 's......am in a QUANDRY SO TO SPEAK...LOL...now i am interested in trying the Ping G425 irons and the Srixon ZX4 irons.......i will find my irons eventually..lol...cheers all from Canada
Hey Andy! I've been playing the 0211 ST blades since I got them over Christmas, because they were insanely cheap and beautiful. Never thought I would play a set of blades. I wasn't really planning on playing them full time - I'm a 4 hcp, but iron play is not what I'd call a big strength. But I have been truly impressed with the forgiveness and distance of these clubs. I've only lost a couple of yards compared to my previous irons, and that's purely down to a difference in loft of around 2º. The really surprising thing is how straight they go. Mishits almost always just come up a bit short, but bang on line. I can work them if need be (they are blades, after all) and flight them up and down easily, but they mostly want to go really straight! So they've stayed in the bag and I'm very glad I bought them. I can't recall if you ever reviewed them or not. But you should if you can get ahold of a set. Keep up the good work!
My son also bought the ST irons with the KBS $ taper shafts . He says they are brilliant and quite forgiving for a blade. He got fitted also and the fitter knows his stuff.
I totally agree with your assessment Andy. I have the Gen threes in the XP and P blended and order the same set when GEN four came out and totally disliked it. they were way too hard, I returned them and kept my threes. good to hear about the Gen fives maybe I’ll go for those. Thanks
I just got a set of the 0211s and I am absolutely thrilled with them. I need all the help I can get and they really do fit the bill. Perhaps as I improve I will consider the gen 3 p irons. Price is good for what they are and I trust your assessment. Good video :)
Great video. An chance you would do a side by side comparison between Gen3 0311 ST (currently $119/club, US$) and Gen4 0311 ST ($129/club)? When the Gen 4 ST price dropped, I upgraded from my Gen3 T to the Gen4 ST. Very very happy with the new irons. They have a great look at address and love the sound and feel. They let you know when you hit the sweet spot and when you don't. Keep up the great work.
I bought the O211 when they did the first big price drop last year for $80 per, which allowed me to upgrade the shafts to Modus which has improved my dispersion immensely. Looking forward to watching the Driver review for PXG as the Gen4 is $299 US and 0211 driver is $229.
My 1st irons from PXG was the 0211 gen1. PXG had the Gen3 0311's on sale for the Heroes for $99 a iron so I couldn't resist. I've played 1 round with them and to the range. Loving the 0311 P so far.
Got fitted by pxg 2 weeks ago and for me the gen 4 out did the gen 5 .Better spin better distance and also felt better . Like you say Andy everyone is different . Keep up with the great vids Got 5to8 in p and 9 pw and Gw in the t model 👍
I've owned every generation of PXG. I currently own the Gen5's. The 4's do in fact feel softer, but the 5's perform better and have higher MOI with the Tungsten in the back.
@@markteal5669 mine only took a week if you get the Gen5…. They build those quicker. If it’s 6 weeks it’s because the particular shaft and/ or head you picked is on back order then. PXG builds stuff quick if it’s in stock.
My old set of Cobra FP irons was getting antiquated. After several test sessions, I went into my fitting hoping to get my hands on the 0211 DC irons before making my final choice. Lucky for me the shop I was at was carrying PXG as a brand. In the end, it proved to be a no-brainer. As soon as I started hitting them I was sold! Best results for me among all clubs I'd tested; without a doubt. Still getting used to the plethora of wedges, but that's a luxury problem 😉 Thank you for all the info on PXG irons, it really helped during my 'selection' process.
Great review! After watching I am intrigued by the Gen 3 0311 irons for feel and sound as well as price point! I will hit these and see how it goes!. Thanks again!
Gotta get fitted. As an essentially new golfer - I went to my fitting expecting to leave with 0211 DC. Maybe a Gen 3XP if I could really tell the difference. I ended up with Gen 4 P irons 6-W, 0311 Forged wedges, 0211 Driver, 5 and 7 wood. Great experience. Let the fitter do his/her job. PXG dropped the prices while my clubs were enroute (for the 0211 stuff) and the day after I recieved (for the irons). They refunded me the difference.
I saw the Gen3 311 irons on sale on the US site earlier this year and as I live in Germany I went to the UK site to see if they had the same sale. Unfortunately, they didn’t, but as I had recently bought a 0211 driver I emailed the UK contact directly and he advised that they could make the Gen3 311P irons for around £109 exc VAT. I now have the irons and they are fantastic. They apply local VAT so no extra cost when shipping to Germany. Only downside was the eight weeks it took for the order to be completed and received. For a 14 handicap player, I don’t believe I would see the difference in buying the very latest clubs at a much more expensive cost. PXG customer service was exceptionally fast. Now I just have to save up for the rest of the woods.
Mid handicap golfer, I bought the 0211 dc irons last year on a ridiculous close out price and find them terrific, forgiving, sound, feel and distance. Plainly the irons are way better than I am. Must say l hit even par late last year on a very challenging executive par course, a first for me.
I purchased the Gen 3 earlier this year when they were discounted by PXG, love the sound and distance, I got xf model and love these clubs. I agree with the others, I can wait for the discount on the clubs to afford them even though I would be getting an older model.
Bought the Gen 3's last year and not looking to change anytime soon. Brilliant irons and the full set was the same as the latest model from any of the other manufacturers. Just felt I got a hell of a lot more for my money and a good fitting as well. I wouldn't pay the full premium for PXG, don't feel the value, but being able to get the previous year's model fully fitted at a big discount is great.
I did exactly the same thing and have played some of my best golf in years with them. Gen 3 is an amazing product. Consensus seems to be that Gen 4 was a step back in feel chasing distance (or cheaper manufacturing by eliminating the two-layer core). Andy's review suggests they got XCOR right in their second try and Gen 5 is also a winner.
Andy good video and content on the PXG product offering. The flack you see is because of PXG, as any direct to consumer and disruptive go to market approach worries the established club makers. Who IMO have priced themselves out of reach, and are seem unwilling to compete with PXG on discounting. Andy great work as always!
Feel and sound makes a difference to me. PXG appears to make some awesome irons. The weighted screws that are changeable to get best flight patterns makes sense to me. Very industrial take on irons.
I agree 100% I have both the 3s and 5s and skipped the 4s cause I hit them poorly so 3s it was, but the 5s...WOW!!! The best by far and $$$$ well spent to me!
Went from Gen 2 XF to Gen 5 P/XP blend in black label elite. They look phenomenal. They play soft, sound great, and perform well. Ball speeds were 2-4.5 mph faster than the Cobra and Mizunos I played and descent angle over 40 degrees. I was very pleased with the fitting and confirmed numbers at home with my Bushnell Launch Pro in the Foresight range. If you have the disposable income to spend, this is a great choice. If not there are many great brands we can all enjoy.
Got 0211 irons last month and couldn’t be happier, I had Cobra Forged tec 2020 in the bag but wanted more forgiveness, tried the 0211 and absolutely love them . Price is ridiculous
I have a set of dc2s, 4-GW and a 52 and 56 degree forged wedges in my bag plus an 0211 5 wood, all at a discounted price. I also have an F9 driver and 3 wood in my bag that aren’t going anywhere soon.
Bought full bag deal in gen 4 st and t model and love them. They even upgraded the wedges to the latest model and they are stunning. All the irons perform really well and the woods are as good as anything I’ve used from TM and Callaway. Definitely value for money with the full bag deal
I originally bought a set of of 0211DC, played with them for a few months and never really got comfortable with them. I ended up selling them and bought a set of 0211ST blades and I love them I get much predictable ball flight and yardage. I’m a low 20’s handicap and really shouldn’t be playing with type of club , but I was amazed at how forgiving they are. I bought them on sell for $75 a club with graphite MMT. Not sure they can sell them for that price..
Got fit last fall for a full set of Gen3-P irons, then did their Gen4 Lucky-7 at Xmas to round out the bag. Love this set. Ya, I wouldn't mind getting a full back of Gen5 as they would likely perform better, but not at the current price gap.
good review Andy. I am playing the 0311 G3 P and I tried the G4 not enough difference to move to it. I haven't tried the G5 yet but may still hold off, not liking the way they look. I agree with you PXG makes some amazing irons.
I recently bought 0211 DC iron set (first time ever buying a new iron set), I just love the way it feels at impact. Even my iron distance improved by about 15yards on each iron. Never have I ever hit iron on tee box for a par 4’s, with PXG 0211 DC, I just hit my 6/5 iron for a short par 4s. It really did make a difference in my game, Stands true to what PXG claims, “you have never played like this before”.
You are hitting the irons longer because the loft is lower on the irons compared to other brands. A 7 iron is 31 degrees, 8 iron is 35 degrees and the 9 is 40 degrees. Compare that to say the Calloway X Forged which is what I play is more lofted. Calloway X Forged 7 iron is 33 degrees, 8 iron is 37 degrees and 9 iron is 41 degrees. Just by loft alone you should hit them longer.
Just got my Gen 4 0311ST’s and really like the feel and feedback. I do miss the “kaboom” that I feel when hitting my Gen 3 0311 T’s. Two different sticks but both satisfying.
Getting a fitting for gen5 looks absolutely stunning yes they are expensive but hopefully we'll worth it all the reviews I've watched gave very good feedback Pxg best looking iron bar far
I was able to grab new gen3 0311 p for $99 an iron. Got just a generic fitting at a sporting store nearby me. Super excited to get them and play them as they will be my first clubs in 10 years and entry back into the game after about the same amount of time.
After playing and graduating through the Callaway XR Pro, the Wilson Staff FG V6, and then the Hogan PTx Pro iron for the past 6 years...the only irons that clicks all the boxes for me now, Looks, Feel, Forgiviness, and Price is the Mizuno 225 Pro.. Now all I have to do is get to Club Champion to get fitter and then talk myself into a BUY.. Don't need them Just Want Them...Thanks Andy...P.S you mention that you think that the PXG 0211 are you favorite, how do you compare them against the Mizuno 225 Pro which you have hit????
The 225 aren't cheap compared to everything except the gen 5. I was looking at them too but the lead time was like 6 months and the thing that turned me off is how thy switch from hollow body to solid iron in the 8 or 9 iron plus tungsten or no tungsten. I wanted to decide when to switch to a solid iron which I did in the gap wedge. However the 225 are beautiful I'll give them that.
Last year got fitted for Gen 2 irons @ $129/club. Love these things...PXG is a brand I never thought I would own, but because of YOU, Andy, I started looking and thought I would give them a try. I was looking at Ping G425, P770, P790 as well. But PXG had such a nice feel and sound and gave me what I was looking for AND the price was lower than the others....who would have thought?
Andy - have you tried the 0211 st (forged blade) not as hard to hit as most blades. Ive just put together a combination set of the DC model in the long irons & ST in the shorter irons ( 8 to pw & gap wedge. Love them. Might be a good idea if you reviewed them.
Currently gaming last generation 0211’s considering going to GEN4’s 0311’s wondering will there be a significant difference in how they perform. Forged vs Cast basically
I am not one of those that purchased a new club/set, then see the costs drop. However, I have been one that bought a driver after the drop on price. But I wonder how many are now willing to drop the big bucks for the next gen, when you know the price will drop soooo much and relatively soon.
I like PXG as a brand. I think the golfing world was ready for something new looking, although I know it's not for everyone. I've got wedges and they're great. From now if I'm buying any club, then PXG will be tested along with everything else
Cosmetically I have always preferred the 0211's. These days I'm not playing enough golf to justify new Irons. Even the cheaper 0211's would be difficult to justify, so I will keep my Orka Irons until my arthritis gets too painful to play at all.
As a Gen 3 user, I feel that the Gen 5 is a little over the top in terms of design.. if I were to get it (which I don't plan on doing anytime soon), I'd have the color scheme reversed.. black weights on black heads .. and chrome on chrome
I like the "industrial" look of PXG irons, all those nuts and bolts, I just like the fact that PXG went their own way with looks and crucially those nuts and bolts have a purpose. However, I do think that the look of Gen 5 is a step backwards, I am just not liking the two tone colour scheme, IMO the simplicity of the Gen 4 was perfect. Sound and feel is just so personal you just have to try them to decide. I pick clubs on performance. I know what sort of carry I should get so the key is the ball flight and spin rates that matter (and consistency of those across many shots). Interestingly the club fitter I normally use dismissed the PXG as too low spinning to be one he would recommend.
“Why would anyone buy secondhand when they can buy new cheaper” that is exactly the issue that really makes me angry about PXG especially with the 0211 dc which is still the “current model”. I can see discounting an older Gen but when I buy a 0211 dc for $105 usd a stick and now they sell for $79 usd New well that makes my clubs basically worthless on the 2nd hand market vs my entrance point. For someone who likes to sell old and buy new every few years PXG is off my list for future purchase unfortunately because I think the 0211 dc are great.
If I had paid top dollar it would bother me a lot, however, good for me I always wait until they drop the price then get the model that’s a year or two old. I bought a set of gen3 irons last year for $139 each. 😁
Anytime you buy a set of new clubs you just know after the first play with them they depreciate almost 40%. If you can keep them in great condition most people will buy them at a close to reasonable price to help offset a new purchase.
Still gaming my Gen 3 0311P's 5-G with Mishu-MMT graphite shafts in stiff. Absolutely love them. Maybe when Gen 6 comes out I'll look at Gen 5's. But for now, I'm a happy golfer.
Andy, if you are getting any sort of kick-back from any golf company it should be disclosed ie trips to the US etc etc, transparency is a good thing. Sound and feel are very important to me.
Having said that , I bought the Gen 4 irons about six weeks ago and have to say they are without doubt the best irons I have ever hit, and have won four comps already with them .
That's exactly why I sold mine and will not go back, I bought gen 2 in December, was told gen 4 would not be out the coming summer , I paid 185 a club. 2 months later before I even played the gen 2 was 125 a club and gen 4 was our and gen 3 was 175. I was pissed. I played them last year and sold themv2 months ago and lost my but off. I will never go back even though they were good clubs
It's good to hear that PXG still sell their older models because one of the things that really does annoy me is that other club manufacturers do not sell their older clubs
I can see PXG prices rising once tour players catch on. The difference you're seeing with £70 a stick compared to £120 for a TaylorMade Stealth iron, is that £50 per club advertising and sponsorship cost being passed down to the consumer, because there's no difference in quality.
Gen 3 are amazing. The O211 only got in sw to low swing weight to club hence impossible to feel where head is . Found 0211 driver disappointing also. Gen 4 hybrid far better.
@@canyonaro I can't get around how the "ring" makes them look like a wind-up toy or like someone put a poker chip on the irons. What exactly does that thing do?
@@kylecruel It's one big weight. It enables them to build to heavier swingweights without moving the CG. Normally it's done with tip weights, which pull the CG towards the heel. It's a nice feature but it does look goofy (see also Callaway Apex MB, which uses the same concept).
@@TheAverageGolfer Wondering if there is something not right about the Gen 5 driver - thinking this because it doesn't seem like anyone wants to publish a review. Most new clubs have the youtubers jumping all over them.
I’m always just a sucker for the latest model! Resale value, I don’t buy golf clubs to make a profit so don’t care! My hobby, if they lose money so what, I would spend more getting a season ticket at the football is my view, so not something I worry about too much
I bought the 0211 DC when they first came out, even before they arrived they had dropped the price to £75 a club I was livid as I paid £115 a club, thankfully when I called them to have a moan they offered me credit for the difference thankfully again I was in the market for some new wedges so used the credit for those.
I shouldn't choose any of them. They are way too expensive for what you get. I've tried them and I wasn't very impressed. I'm sticking to my Tour Edge and the amount I spent on them allows me a bit more pub time.😉
Why would anyone buy secondhand , when you can buy new cheaper , i Have seen 0211 Drivers on e bay for £234 , i am going for a custom fit 0211 Driver for £199 , its a no brainer

I can work them if need be (they are blades, after all) and flight them up and down easily, but they mostly want to go really straight! So they've stayed in the bag and I'm very glad I bought them. I can't recall if you ever reviewed them or not. But you should if you can get ahold of a set. Keep up the good work!
My son also bought the ST irons with the KBS $ taper shafts . He says they are brilliant and quite forgiving for a blade. He got fitted also and the fitter knows his stuff.
I totally agree with your assessment Andy. I have the Gen threes in the XP and P blended and order the same set when GEN four came out and totally disliked it. they were way too hard, I returned them and kept my threes. good to hear about the Gen fives maybe I’ll go for those. Thanks
I just got a set of the 0211s and I am absolutely thrilled with them. I need all the help I can get and they really do fit the bill. Perhaps as I improve I will consider the gen 3 p irons. Price is good for what they are and I trust your assessment. Good video :)
Great video. An chance you would do a side by side comparison between Gen3 0311 ST (currently $119/club, US$) and Gen4 0311 ST ($129/club)? When the Gen 4 ST price dropped, I upgraded from my Gen3 T to the Gen4 ST. Very very happy with the new irons. They have a great look at address and love the sound and feel. They let you know when you hit the sweet spot and when you don't. Keep up the great work.
I bought the O211 when they did the first big price drop last year for $80 per, which allowed me to upgrade the shafts to Modus which has improved my dispersion immensely.
Looking forward to watching the Driver review for PXG as the Gen4 is $299 US and 0211 driver is $229.
My 1st irons from PXG was the 0211 gen1. PXG had the Gen3 0311's on sale for the Heroes for $99 a iron so I couldn't resist. I've played 1 round with them and to the range. Loving the 0311 P so far.
Going to get full bag fit this coming week ! Cant wait ! I too might look at 5's(or if 3's are still available) and get upgrated shafts ?
Got fitted by pxg 2 weeks ago and for me the gen 4 out did the gen 5 .Better spin better distance and also felt better . Like you say Andy everyone is different . Keep up with the great vids
Got 5to8 in p and 9 pw and Gw in the t model 👍
I've owned every generation of PXG. I currently own the Gen5's. The 4's do in fact feel softer, but the 5's perform better and have higher MOI with the Tungsten in the back.
@@MXJEFF94 how long did it take before you got them I was told 6 weeks?
@@markteal5669 mine only took a week if you get the Gen5…. They build those quicker. If it’s 6 weeks it’s because the particular shaft and/ or head you picked is on back order then. PXG builds stuff quick if it’s in stock.
My old set of Cobra FP irons was getting antiquated. After several test sessions, I went into my fitting hoping to get my hands on the 0211 DC irons before making my final choice. Lucky for me the shop I was at was carrying PXG as a brand. In the end, it proved to be a no-brainer. As soon as I started hitting them I was sold! Best results for me among all clubs I'd tested; without a doubt. Still getting used to the plethora of wedges, but that's a luxury problem 😉
Thank you for all the info on PXG irons, it really helped during my 'selection' process.
Great review! After watching I am intrigued by the Gen 3 0311 irons for feel and sound as well as price point! I will hit these and see how it goes!. Thanks again!
Gotta get fitted. As an essentially new golfer - I went to my fitting expecting to leave with 0211 DC. Maybe a Gen 3XP if I could really tell the difference. I ended up with Gen 4 P irons 6-W, 0311 Forged wedges, 0211 Driver, 5 and 7 wood. Great experience. Let the fitter do his/her job. PXG dropped the prices while my clubs were enroute (for the 0211 stuff) and the day after I recieved (for the irons). They refunded me the difference.
@M. Leung mine didn't upsell in the least. In fact - he said that I probably only needed 11 clubs in my bag - so that's what I have.
I saw the Gen3 311 irons on sale on the US site earlier this year and as I live in Germany I went to the UK site to see if they had the same sale.
Unfortunately, they didn’t, but as I had recently bought a 0211 driver I emailed the UK contact directly and he advised that they could make the Gen3 311P irons for around £109 exc VAT.
I now have the irons and they are fantastic. They apply local VAT so no extra cost when shipping to Germany.
Only downside was the eight weeks it took for the order to be completed and received.
For a 14 handicap player, I don’t believe I would see the difference in buying the very latest clubs at a much more expensive cost.
PXG customer service was exceptionally fast.
Now I just have to save up for the rest of the woods.
Mid handicap golfer, I bought the 0211 dc irons last year on a ridiculous close out price and find them terrific, forgiving, sound, feel and distance. Plainly the irons are way better than I am. Must say l hit even par late last year on a very challenging executive par course, a first for me.
I got fitted in April for the 0211 irons and have gained yardage and my dispersion is smaller.
I purchased the Gen 3 earlier this year when they were discounted by PXG, love the sound and distance, I got xf model and love these clubs. I agree with the others, I can wait for the discount on the clubs to afford them even though I would be getting an older model.
Bought the Gen 3's last year and not looking to change anytime soon. Brilliant irons and the full set was the same as the latest model from any of the other manufacturers. Just felt I got a hell of a lot more for my money and a good fitting as well. I wouldn't pay the full premium for PXG, don't feel the value, but being able to get the previous year's model fully fitted at a big discount is great.
I did exactly the same thing and have played some of my best golf in years with them. Gen 3 is an amazing product. Consensus seems to be that Gen 4 was a step back in feel chasing distance (or cheaper manufacturing by eliminating the two-layer core). Andy's review suggests they got XCOR right in their second try and Gen 5 is also a winner.
Andy good video and content on the PXG product offering. The flack you see is because of PXG, as any direct to consumer and disruptive go to market approach worries the established club makers. Who IMO have priced themselves out of reach, and are seem unwilling to compete with PXG on discounting. Andy great work as always!
I got fitted for the Gen 3 0311 with i95 steel fibers. I cannot wait to bag these!
Feel and sound makes a difference to me. PXG appears to make some awesome irons. The weighted screws that are changeable to get best flight patterns makes sense to me. Very industrial take on irons.
I agree 100% I have both the 3s and 5s and skipped the 4s cause I hit them poorly so 3s it was, but the 5s...WOW!!! The best by far and $$$$ well spent to me!
Went from Gen 2 XF to Gen 5 P/XP blend in black label elite. They look phenomenal. They play soft, sound great, and perform well. Ball speeds were 2-4.5 mph faster than the Cobra and Mizunos I played and descent angle over 40 degrees. I was very pleased with the fitting and confirmed numbers at home with my Bushnell Launch Pro in the Foresight range. If you have the disposable income to spend, this is a great choice. If not there are many great brands we can all enjoy.
Got 0211 irons last month and couldn’t be happier, I had Cobra Forged tec 2020 in the bag but wanted more forgiveness, tried the 0211 and absolutely love them . Price is ridiculous
I have a set of dc2s, 4-GW and a 52 and 56 degree forged wedges in my bag plus an 0211 5 wood, all at a discounted price. I also have an F9 driver and 3 wood in my bag that aren’t going anywhere soon.
Bought full bag deal in gen 4 st and t model and love them. They even upgraded the wedges to the latest model and they are stunning. All the irons perform really well and the woods are as good as anything I’ve used from TM and Callaway. Definitely value for money with the full bag deal
I originally bought a set of of 0211DC, played with them for a few months and never really got comfortable with them. I ended up selling them and bought a set of 0211ST blades and I love them I get much predictable ball flight and yardage. I’m a low 20’s handicap and really shouldn’t be playing with type of club , but I was amazed at how forgiving they are. I bought them on sell for $75 a club with graphite MMT. Not sure they can sell them for that price..
Great Video - I'll take the Gen 3s with that spin rate.
That’s why I went with them in my PXG HQ Scottsdale fit. They are perfect irons coming out of JPX 921 Tours. Just easy
I waited for the discount on the Gen3 irons. Glad I did. Also 0211 driver, fairway finder.
Got fit last fall for a full set of Gen3-P irons, then did their Gen4 Lucky-7 at Xmas to round out the bag. Love this set. Ya, I wouldn't mind getting a full back of Gen5 as they would likely perform better, but not at the current price gap.
good review Andy. I am playing the 0311 G3 P and I tried the G4 not enough difference to move to it. I haven't tried the G5 yet but may still hold off, not liking the way they look. I agree with you PXG makes some amazing irons.
I recently bought 0211 DC iron set (first time ever buying a new iron set), I just love the way it feels at impact. Even my iron distance improved by about 15yards on each iron.
Never have I ever hit iron on tee box for a par 4’s, with PXG 0211 DC, I just hit my 6/5 iron for a short par 4s. It really did make a difference in my game, Stands true to what PXG claims, “you have never played like this before”.
You are hitting the irons longer because the loft is lower on the irons compared to other brands. A 7 iron is 31 degrees, 8 iron is 35 degrees and the 9 is 40 degrees. Compare that to say the Calloway X Forged which is what I play is more lofted. Calloway X Forged 7 iron is 33 degrees, 8 iron is 37 degrees and 9 iron is 41 degrees. Just by loft alone you should hit them longer.
Just got my Gen 4 0311ST’s and really like the feel and feedback. I do miss the “kaboom” that I feel when hitting my Gen 3 0311 T’s. Two different sticks but both satisfying.
Getting a fitting for gen5 looks absolutely stunning yes they are expensive but hopefully we'll worth it all the reviews I've watched gave very good feedback
Pxg best looking iron bar far
I have the 0211 DC and think they are excellent for me and far better than the previous Taylormade and Cobra iron sets I’ve had over the years.
I was able to grab new gen3 0311 p for $99 an iron. Got just a generic fitting at a sporting store nearby me. Super excited to get them and play them as they will be my first clubs in 10 years and entry back into the game after about the same amount of time.
After playing and graduating through the Callaway XR Pro, the Wilson Staff FG V6, and then the Hogan PTx Pro iron for the past 6 years...the only irons that clicks all the boxes for me now, Looks, Feel, Forgiviness, and Price is the Mizuno 225 Pro.. Now all I have to do is get to Club Champion to get fitter and then talk myself into a BUY.. Don't need them Just Want Them...Thanks Andy...P.S you mention that you think that the PXG 0211 are you favorite, how do you compare them against the Mizuno 225 Pro which you have hit????
The 225 aren't cheap compared to everything except the gen 5. I was looking at them too but the lead time was like 6 months and the thing that turned me off is how thy switch from hollow body to solid iron in the 8 or 9 iron plus tungsten or no tungsten. I wanted to decide when to switch to a solid iron which I did in the gap wedge. However the 225 are beautiful I'll give them that.
Last year got fitted for Gen 2 irons @ $129/club. Love these things...PXG is a brand I never thought I would own, but because of YOU, Andy, I started looking and thought I would give them a try. I was looking at Ping G425, P770, P790 as well. But PXG had such a nice feel and sound and gave me what I was looking for AND the price was lower than the others....who would have thought?
Fitting always best . . and solid advance to buy to your budget 👍👍
Andy - have you tried the 0211 st (forged blade) not as hard to hit as most blades. Ive just put together a combination set of the DC model in the long irons & ST in the shorter irons ( 8 to pw & gap wedge. Love them. Might be a good idea if you reviewed them.
Currently gaming last generation 0211’s considering going to GEN4’s 0311’s wondering will there be a significant difference in how they perform. Forged vs Cast basically
what about the 0211ST? to me they're the best of the lineup cost/looks/performance wise :P
I play the 0211 ST, incredible irons only a few yards shorter than the 0211DC BUT BETTER FEEL , MORE CONSITENT AND STRAIGHTER!
Am currently playing gen 3 0311xp and pounding them from 3 iron to gap wedge…couldn’t be happier, thanks PXG
Have you hit the 0311p gen 3’s? I’m upgrading from Taylormade M4 (2018) on the fence for the 0311p’s or XP’s
I bought gen 4 “lucky 7” deal and less than 2 weeks later gen 5 came out. The deal was so good and gen 5 came out high, no regrets here.
Another great Video Andy! Question, gen 4 XP vs P what is closer in head size to the original 2019 0211.
I am not one of those that purchased a new club/set, then see the costs drop. However, I have been one that bought a driver after the drop on price.
But I wonder how many are now willing to drop the big bucks for the next gen, when you know the price will drop soooo much and relatively soon.
I like PXG as a brand. I think the golfing world was ready for something new looking, although I know it's not for everyone. I've got wedges and they're great. From now if I'm buying any club, then PXG will be tested along with everything else
Cosmetically I have always preferred the 0211's.
These days I'm not playing enough golf to justify new Irons. Even the cheaper 0211's would be difficult to justify, so I will keep my Orka Irons until my arthritis gets too painful to play at all.
Another great vlog Andy..PXG just are the best…👌👍👏
rockin the 0211 and cannot wait for my first comp
Great review and content as usual!
With the heroes discount, Gen 3 irons are $89 a club. The 0211 DC are $79. Which one is a better value?
As a Gen 3 user, I feel that the Gen 5 is a little over the top in terms of design.. if I were to get it (which I don't plan on doing anytime soon), I'd have the color scheme reversed.. black weights on black heads .. and chrome on chrome
I wonder if you can order them like that.
I like the "industrial" look of PXG irons, all those nuts and bolts, I just like the fact that PXG went their own way with looks and crucially those nuts and bolts have a purpose.
However, I do think that the look of Gen 5 is a step backwards, I am just not liking the two tone colour scheme, IMO the simplicity of the Gen 4 was perfect.
Sound and feel is just so personal you just have to try them to decide.
I pick clubs on performance. I know what sort of carry I should get so the key is the ball flight and spin rates that matter (and consistency of those across many shots). Interestingly the club fitter I normally use dismissed the PXG as too low spinning to be one he would recommend.
I’d find another fitter
Who makes the Hattori Hanzo or irons?
“Why would anyone buy secondhand when they can buy new cheaper” that is exactly the issue that really makes me angry about PXG especially with the 0211 dc which is still the “current model”. I can see discounting an older Gen but when I buy a 0211 dc for $105 usd a stick and now they sell for $79 usd New well that makes my clubs basically worthless on the 2nd hand market vs my entrance point. For someone who likes to sell old and buy new every few years PXG is off my list for future purchase unfortunately because I think the 0211 dc are great.
If I had paid top dollar it would bother me a lot, however, good for me I always wait until they drop the price then get the model that’s a year or two old.
I bought a set of gen3 irons last year for $139 each. 😁
Anytime you buy a set of new clubs you just know after the first play with them they depreciate almost 40%. If you can keep them in great condition most people will buy them at a close to reasonable price to help offset a new purchase.
Still gaming my Gen 3 0311P's 5-G with Mishu-MMT graphite shafts in stiff. Absolutely love them. Maybe when Gen 6 comes out I'll look at Gen 5's. But for now, I'm a happy golfer.
Can you do this with the pxg drivers?
Why would you swing the Gen 5 2 mph quicker than the 0211? That’s the only difference in the distance was how you swung the two.
Andy, if you are getting any sort of kick-back from any golf company it should be disclosed ie trips to the US etc etc, transparency is a good thing. Sound and feel are very important to me.
His silence is deafening 😃
Having said that , I bought the Gen 4 irons about six weeks ago and have to say they are without doubt the best irons I have ever hit, and have won four comps already with them .
That's exactly why I sold mine and will not go back, I bought gen 2 in December, was told gen 4 would not be out the coming summer , I paid 185 a club. 2 months later before I even played the gen 2 was 125 a club and gen 4 was our and gen 3 was 175. I was pissed. I played them last year and sold themv2 months ago and lost my but off. I will never go back even though they were good clubs
It's good to hear that PXG still sell their older models because one of the things that really does annoy me is that other club manufacturers do not sell their older clubs
bought the gen2 0311's at 90 bucks apiece last summer. Definitely was a bargain
Hi !
My hcp is 15 .
Is It posibble that I can play with the 0311 gen 4 st ?
Right now i play with the 0211 xcore2
Thanks !
Hey! Thanks for the good advice about these clubs. ⚽️
Gen 4 is the best value and same performance as Gen 5 👍🏻
I can see PXG prices rising once tour players catch on. The difference you're seeing with £70 a stick compared to £120 for a TaylorMade Stealth iron, is that £50 per club advertising and sponsorship cost being passed down to the consumer, because there's no difference in quality.
Did you get to try gen 5 driver, if so your thoughts compared to gen 4, thanks
Some people may prefer the look of Gen 5 but I like the 4 just as much. I hit the 4 better than the 5. Spin was just too high with the 5.
Gen 3 are amazing. The O211 only got in sw to low swing weight to club hence impossible to feel where head is . Found 0211 driver disappointing also. Gen 4 hybrid far better.
Pot committed with the Gen 3. They work perfectly for my game and I really think they look more classic compared to Gen 4 and 5.
Agreed, definitely prefer the Gen 3 look over the Gen 4 or Gen 5
Homage to the classic Mizuno T-Zoid. I love my gen 3s but Gen 5 in black has me salivating.
@@canyonaro I can't get around how the "ring" makes them look like a wind-up toy or like someone put a poker chip on the irons. What exactly does that thing do?
@@kylecruel It's one big weight. It enables them to build to heavier swingweights without moving the CG. Normally it's done with tip weights, which pull the CG towards the heel. It's a nice feature but it does look goofy (see also Callaway Apex MB, which uses the same concept).
I have to 0211 and I love them when I get better I'll go to the newest generation
Love my 0211 irons
I would love to go on your trackman to get that ball speed with such a low club speed 🤥
Just ordered gen6 p with sugar daddy wedges. Unbelievable
Andy do you have the ability to test the Gen 5 driver?
Yes
@@TheAverageGolfer great, looking forward to it.
@@TheAverageGolfer Wondering if there is something not right about the Gen 5 driver - thinking this because it doesn't seem like anyone wants to publish a review. Most new clubs have the youtubers jumping all over them.
I’m always just a sucker for the latest model! Resale value, I don’t buy golf clubs to make a profit so don’t care! My hobby, if they lose money so what, I would spend more getting a season ticket at the football is my view, so not something I worry about too much
I bought the 0211 DC when they first came out, even before they arrived they had dropped the price to £75 a club I was livid as I paid £115 a club, thankfully when I called them to have a moan they offered me credit for the difference thankfully again I was in the market for some new wedges so used the credit for those.
I still find the Gen 1s the best!
4th. Period.
Tough choice
Takomo 👌😂
I shouldn't choose any of them. They are way too expensive for what you get. I've tried them and I wasn't very impressed. I'm sticking to my Tour Edge and the amount I spent on them allows me a bit more pub time.😉
Found the 0811 XF driver very disappointing. Wish I had never bought it.
I don't believe the hype. Parsons spent 100's of millions manufacturing the best clubs in the world. Only for the next version to be better.
Non…can’t afford the mortgage on them😂
Let the money men buy brand new then pick up second hand set 18 months later at a fraction of the price.
Why would anyone buy secondhand , when you can buy new cheaper , i Have seen 0211 Drivers on e bay for £234 , i am going for a custom fit 0211 Driver for £199 , its a no brainer
none of these... Mizuno or TM the only clubs I'll play.
