Andy pxg claim the feel might be better than forged - does that mean you can chip with the short irons or does the ball fly of the face like most other GI irons ?
I just got fitted for gen 7 players irons w an xp 4 iron. The size for me are already confidence inspiring (compact but not on the smaller side). I could easily game the black ops but you have to love what you play and for me I prefer the p and xp a little bit more. Also a small tip. Go get fitted. They have a few more shaft options available than show online (which I got a no upcharge shaft that were not available online kbs $ taper)
I have a fairly common miss toward the toe or low (especially on my longer irons), so last year, I put ego aside and bought into the game improvement iron marketing and got some G430s. I had a honeymoon period for a few months, but after a while, I really found myself not enjoying the look or feel, the excess offset, the occasional fliers that would go much longer than they should, and the lack of spin and overall control. This year, I bought a combo set of 770s and 7CBs. Yes, I’m still in the honeymoon phase with them, but wow, the difference is sublime. When you hit a good one, it just puts a smile on your face. Even the not so great ones don’t have near the drop off that marketing would have you believe. I don’t care if my game turns to absolute dog poo, I’ll never go back to game improvement irons.
Had a PXG fitting for irons at their new HO in UK - Gen6 - stuck with them for a few weeks but sold them at a large loss a few weeks back - kept the driver and the wedges but irons second set I have had and sold them both - as did a good mate - both gone back to Mizzies - end of story!
Can you explain why? Especially as they were fitted for you. I’ve had two fittings recently Mizuno 925’s and Callaway Ai300. The mizunos out on the range the Callaway indoors only. Mush happier with the Mizunos but hope to try 3-4 other sets out and eventually a head to head comparison before I invest
@@guyr7351 good question - they felt harsh (really harsh) even with the occasional good strike - for me personally it is about feel and shorter irons especially I just did not get that feel! Even went back and tried others after being convinced it was a matter of time and that eventually these would be better for me. Came from set of Miura and wanted a bit more help but seriously now looking at some older Mizuno muscle backs - PXG not for me and best advice is go to agnostic fitter not a brand 👍
Too big and bulky for me, but difficult to argue with the figures. Of course I would prefer more spin, even at 28 degrees that spin is a bit low, but that may say more about Andy's swing than the club. However with good peak height and descent angle a ball hit with a 7i will stop reasonably quickly unless you are on hard summer links greens - although right now with some of the weather close to me, everything is stopping quickly!
Just playing devils advocate here, but if this is as good as you say, good feel , good launch, good distance, forgiving, surely that’s what every golfer wants, is this in your bag ?
@@2ScentsWorth no I fall into the 1% 😂 you right it’s a serious question that o ask myself, why do I play irons that are less forgiving than these, my truthful answer is about feel and profile but not performance 👍
I went for a PXG iron fitting last week. I went in there telling the fitter that I was interested in the Black Ops irons (based solely on price). I was swinging the 7 iron around +/- 80 mph. I really wanted the Black Ops but, based upon the data and playing around with different graphite shafts, my numbers were the best with the Gen 7 XP irons.
I know your sponsored now by pxg, but why don’t you compare the black ops to other brands with the same or similar clubs? This channel went from reviews to oh look how amazing PXG is now. I’m not sponsored and I built a set of Xcor2 irons. I like them but I would compare the p790, Callaway ai smoke iron, cobra dark speed and the T350 to it. Then allow us to judge which performs better or makes us want to go hit and compare for ourselves. Other than that yes the black ops look good and from the video sound amazing. I haven’t hit them yet but why when I have a set of 0211 Xcor2s. Also veterans and first responders, I recommend you check out PXG for the simple fact we get a huge discount. That’s including fittings also. Find the closest store and test them. Also the black ops will be cheaper for you as well, if your not grab a buddy and see if they will make a profile for you to use.
I like this comment because it shows the frailties of you tube, next week I review a driver from a brand I have never tested before…..it’s incredible and I don’t compare it too anything else but I won’t hear from you 😂 I’ll keep doing me bud and take it as you wish 👍
@@TheAverageGolfer what do you mean you won’t hear from me? I watch your videos and have gone and hit irons because of your videos, I don’t mind you make just a product video but are you going to make a video showing the difference? Or you leaving that to the general public to go out and test for themselves? Some just want to see the comparison, others will go out. I’m not dogging you at all but it does seem slightly more biased to pxg.
@@zachgates19 I purposely don’t compare to other brands because of the obvious shouts of biased Zach, I opt to present factual data and let the viewer decide if it works for them or not

I hear what you are saying and fall into the same camp 👍
Nice looking irons I must say, nice video Andy
What about the price Andy?
Not paying over $400 for an iron, that’s what they cost in australia. Should get a set of irons for that.
Is it accurate and can you shape shots?
Yes and yes
planning to get fitted for these for next season.

@@TheAverageGolfer yep agree - watch you avidly and PXG just doesn’t work for me - get down to Sunningdale Heath great Harry Colt course 👍👍😀

Unfortunately I would also struggle with the same issue re the profile
hmm, could it be a PXG iron
Nope guess again 🙄
