Love all the videos guys! Seeing as though Memorial Day is this coming Monday here in the states, here's a little tidbit about the name of these irons....0311 is representative of the Marine Corps MOS 0311 (job designation code). This designation is for a Marine Corps Rifleman which is the most common infantry designation stemming from Parson's time in the service. For all the vets watching, Parsons just announced a 50% discount to all active duty, veteran, retirees for the foreseeable future!! Semper Fi!
Got a set of these about a month ago. Great set of irons. Shot 82 and three putted last four greens. Also got an 0811 driver. Best driver I’ve ever hit. Thanks for your videos.
You have to respect a company that openly state exactly what they are and make no apologies. They are a luxury item and by every account I have heard the performance is there. Yes you can find others that perform similar. One thing everyone can agree on - they are not for everyone. Thanks for the role reversal and it was good to finally see Ian take a few swings in there. Another thing we can learn from the both of you is really great tempo in the swing and it’s importance to strike.
Great channel guys, had opportunity to get my hands on a Gen2, almost brand new condition (guy who sold it to me only played twice). Been using my Titlelist ZB combos for 13years and must say tech has come a long way. Came across your channel when searching more info on PXG
I just got fitted for these a few weeks ago (highly discounted at $159/club). They felt so damn good compared to my old Nike Ignite irons. I was honestly surprised at how forgiving they are for a "players" iron. I thought i was going to need the XF, but ended up getting fitted for the Ps, and I think I'll be pleased with them. For reference, I have an astronomically high handicap, much of that stemming from lost/OB balls that are either pushed right with the irons or duckhooked with the driver.
I would have never thought I could ever afford these irons but since they are having a sale on the Gen 2's at $159 a head, I couldn't pass them up. Ordered today and should have them in less than 2 weeks. Pretty stoked!
@@Husker_ I'm not just saying this to be a fanboy but they are worth the hype. They are much easier to hit and I can feel the clubhead much easier. They have a unique sound as well. Hard to describe other than having a very satisfying thump after a well struck shot. i have ordered the Prototype + driver (it arrives this coming Wed) as well.
Great job guys. Good to see Ian hit a few. I would like to see some Mizunos reviewed. Maybe a comparison between Mizuno and Srixon irons. Thanks again.
Great vid guys....and great swing Ian.....think its great to have company's like PXG in the market, clearly there is a market for them....just imagining the conversation with my wife as I explain why I bought $5k worth of golf club...the subsequent divorce would be even more expensive, will stick with the AP1's...keep the great content coming.
Always great to see the results of these club tests and the role reversal made it even more interesting. I would suggest Ian and Matt do a "Why in the Bag" video of their choice of gear and maybe invite back previous customers who've been fitted for club(s) to do the same and hear the updates....A++ gents !!
The discount for Military and First Responders is huge. Like almost half-price huge. I couldn't afford PXG without that discount. They are high on my list for my new clubs since that discount is so big.
I found it really interesting what you said about shallow swingers vs deep divot takers and sole width. I have played all kinds of irons in the 7 years I have played the game. From my current Ping G’s, Mizuno JPX line, down to Mizuno MP15’s. One sensation I have always felt about Wide soles, and many people look at me like I have two heads, is it almost feels like there is too much club head down there. Even good shots feel a tad fat. As I am playing more these days, and have a little more time to practice, definitely thinking of something a bit thinner. MP18SC, Titleist CB, even i Blade. I have always been a high ball hitter with a hook miss....a lot of what you said was like a light bulb going on. Not a fan at all of PXG, yet I still watch your reviews of everything because I know I am going to learn something. Thanks!! 👍
Great to see Ian's swing. Your takaway is a lot like mine but you swing through the ball a lot quicker than me and you finish really nice. I was just fitted for the Mizuno JPX 900 Forged with a UST Recoil 95 shaft. I loved how the ball jumped off the clubface. It felt really soft. Matt great job behibd the counter. You did well.
Great to see you make a few swings Ian!!! You didn't look quite as comfortable as what matt does now. Would like to see you work through a fitting with yourself and the 'T' line of the irons 👍👍 then jump on to the big stick!!
I like what Bob Parsons is trying to do with clubs and the fact that they don't bring out a new line of clubs every year. That being said you can't talk about PXG without talking about price. For a club that costs that much more than any other club on the market and doesn't out perform any of those clubs doesn't make sense for the average golfer. Strike will still over rule any expensive club you put in your hands. Great video again guys. Want to mix it up? Matt and Ian should do a course VLOG!
For me PXG made nice irons Price are on the high side but we paid for what they promised to delivered . I see a lot golfers has more then 2 sets of irons on hand but saying PXG are expensive. If an iron set really suits a player I think is a good investment cause it can last for years . Cheers guys n great video
Fantastic video! Great info. Very intelligent and well thought out. Just subscribed and and I have a feeling I'll be binge-watching the rest of your videos soon... Very impressed!
I know this is a way late to the party comment but I was wondering if you. Pile do a review on the PXG 0211 ST irons with maybe the true temper elevate your shaft? Kinda specific but I know but y’all are so thorough that I love getting information from yall. It’s just too good to pass up a chance to see what y’all think.
I am considering these irons...P or T. I hit the P a little more consistently, but hit the T well too. The P goes a little further, to be expected given lofts. Question, I am an 11.5 index. I hope to break into single digits in the next couple years. Will the P hold me back in any way, given the thicker sole? For example, will I have trouble shaping the ball? Thank you.
What are the Honma like compared to these guys, The TX-X irons you tested and loved. I am currently now going to ne looking for a set and I have 3 irons right now in my sights. The Honma tw -x , Srixon, smaller headed ones and the 4 & 5 in the others think there the 5's Or its a 2nd hand set of PXG 0311T. All the others look too big for my eye... Can I get a little feed back from you Ian
So looking at possible getting the 0211 cast irons with military discount they are $105 a piece and they throw in a Gen 1 driver if you get 6 irons. Was wondering if you guys tested and seeing if it is worth getting a set
Another excellent video. Would be cool to have a short manufacturing video/ link for head or shaft. As you say feel means a lot. Tempo seems to match feel. You both did a fine job.
Have you ever fitted Steelfiber Aerotech 95X on PXG heads? Are they a good match? Play that shaft right now on some old MP62 and haven't found any other shaft that suits me as well. Heavier shafts feel less comfortable to me even though I'm tall, fit and still almost young!
@@AmandaHugankiss328 I could be wrong but I think the reason nickel and other metals are added to these hollow irons is to save weight. They put heavy tungsten weights back in the head to position the CG, while the lightweight steel face is super thin and light. Makes an illegal hot face, which is then injected with foam to slow it down and dampen the vibrations. Carbon steel is used for pure forgings and has a superior feel imo.
I'm curious... you Ian mentioned in the video that PXG's goal is to eliminate miss-hits, so no matter when you hit the club on the face, the result is consistent. Would you say they are the best clubs on the market in terms of that characteristic? That would seem highly desirable and worth paying for, for the average golfer that doesn't hit the center of the club often.
RazoRock you could pay a quarter of the price to get lessons and improve your strike in just a few days. And no there’s no magic club that auto finds the fairways and greens. Don’t buy pxgs lies
@@stealthskater66 my strikes are pretty decent, I play to a 9/10 with Miura CBs but I suffer from the occasional toe strike which kills distance 8-10 yards. I need a little more forgiveness sometimes when I'm not playing 4-5 days a week.
RazoRock they make good clubs there is no doubt. But like they said in the video the clubs are no better than the other brands. They just sell the idea that they are luxury clubs and it become more about status than actual skill. If you want to eliminate Mis-hits there is an option equally good for half the price. Pxg hurts golf because they are forcing the other brands to hike prices. They price people out of golf and scare people away from picking up the sport. So if status is your goal then spend away but it’s to the detriment of young potential golfers who are gonna be priced out of the sport before they even get a chance to try it
@@stealthskater66 I don't agree with that logic. There are plenty of high quality affordable offerings from companies like Cobra and Cleveland. If you adjust for real inflation, equipment may even be cheaper than 20 years ago. I bought an iron set 20 years back for $900. Regarding PXG, if they are a good club, you can always get they used on the secondary market for 35-40% of the new cost and then get someone like Ian to retrofit you with a loft/lie/gapping session. Imp, golf is more accessible and affordable than it's even been. Green fees in the Toronto area are the same price as the 1990s when housing was 75% cheaper.
Might want to test the PXG 0311XF "distance" iron against the P790 "distance" iron as they are comparable ....not the PXG 0311P "player" iron. Several have made that comparison and found similar results with the caveat that the PXG had the better feel.
This fall I will be buying a new set of irons. I currently play taylormade m3 irons. I am a short hitter of the golf ball. I hit my strong lofted 7 irons 155 and a standard 7 iron 145 or less. I am looking for a forged players distance irons that is forgiving. I was a 4 handicap growing up. Went to a 13 back down to a nine and think I will get back to a 5. I hate the price tag on these irons but I am willing to save longer, If you think these are worth looking at. I tried the p790 and can’t stand them. I don’t love the feel. If you miss them a slight bit they feel off. I hit well but I am not dead center every time. Are these worth looking at or is this anything else you would recommend demoing?
100% agree at 5.30 sec... i am shallow / sweeper and i hate woods and chunky iron as i sweep the turf. i lose much more distance hitting chunk stuff.. i have notice wilson V6 or players distance iron with narrow sole work the best for me
I got fitted by PXG. The 0311P Gen 2 was what I thought I would buy when I went in there. I left with a whole set but the irons were 0211. Not only do they feel just as good but my numbers were better with them. The rep told me they have to hide the 0211's if they want to sell anything else
The 0211's felt just as good as the 0311P's despite the latter being forged? I'm looking at both as you can get the 0211's for $100 CAD a club and the 0311P's for $169 CAD a club now.
Love your guy’s golf studio. Funny how many pros decided they hated these clubs after one season. Clearly these clubs aren’t worth what they cost. The Japanese clubs like Miura, and especially Epon feel so damn good it’s ridiculous.
Enjoyed the video. Obviously weakening the iron by 1 degree added spin and height to your shots. Don’t think comparing the P to the 790 is a correct comparison either. I’ve hit both these irons and feel hands down goes to the PXG. I’d say if the butter feel isn’t as important, you can match performance cheaper compared to the PXG.
Dave Swenson promise u that if u get fit properly pxg will out perform other brands Pxg shaft options are unreal and will only use your issue shafts unlike other brands who use a watered down version
Hit the PXG at local demo day the rep said they are a huge upgrade from older PXG. I didn’t feel that, I also thought the TM, Calloway apex and Srixon and Ping. (They really seam to copy a lot of ping features ) felt better and flew better. It wasn’t a fitting so I was just using stock shaft. I would pay more if it performed better or gave me more confidence but right now I’m not being tempted by them.
I don't like hitting off turf, cuz when you hit fat, the turf forces the clubhead make contact with ball, crating a false sense of good contact. You should tee it up just a bit to simulate taking a divot or on a tee box. You need the clubhead to swing just below the ball for a real sense of contact. Hitting off turf gives that "drop kick" effect and make it seem like you are striking well, but on real grass, you will lose so much distance when you ht too far behind the ball!
Many thanks for another excellent Vid Gents and the interesting role reversal, you both coped admirably. You have an excellent swing Ian, with an interesting forward movement of your head in the take away (is that deliberate)? Regarding PXG it`s interesting to see that they have helped launch a sub- category of Irons that has launched a number of "Me to" copies. However IMO despite the Price point I think that their Irons look ugly and almost everything about the company is vulgar and lacks class. But if Bob Parsons wants to continue investing his money into golf club development and that investment bears fruits that can be shared by all golfers, then their entry into the market is beneficial.
I m a 64 year old 10 index my last clubs were cobra baflers red graphite shafts good clubs for me 15 rounds in the 70s this year my best golf ever . I just got the pxg 0311 I a touch shorter but the stronger lift of baflers 1 club difference no biggy the Pxg hit straighter . And the 58vs my volkey 56 . 40?yards I dropped 15?of 20?inside a hula hoop . First time at the range.’
Good swings Ian. Nice to see the GCQuad and camera can face a different way. I presume they're different models ;-) On a serious note, a good review, especially the comment that your preferred shafts not gelling with the PXG head.
Great review guys, cool to see Ian strike a few🏌🏽👌🏻. Just watching the players championship and I was just wondering has Ian ever such such a trend in shaft choice as on your a Tensei orange! I seen Rosie, Garcia,woods,Noreen, Mcilroy, poultry among a few. I know you had a great video on the orange but it seems even more have been using it since then. And although it’s an anti right shaft relevant to how strong the tip section is, there are still some players that you wouldn’t profile into it that are gaming it?
Has to be one of the most obvious shaft trends recently, it suits the trend on tour of guys trying to hit mostly fades off the tee and eliminate the left side of the golf course.
Great swing, very smooth Ian! You seem to have a high opinion of Srixons, for high handicappers, would you recommend the g400s or srixon 565s (getting fit of course)?
G400's and Z565's are targeted to a bit different player - the G400 will fly higher and have a much wider sole. Important to test them out but they are both very good clubs.
Taking a little closer look the second time around, I noticed you have a slight forward head movement during your backswing Ian. It occurs to me that it must drive Shawn Clement nuts to see that!!!...lol. I'd be curious to see a conversation and some analysis with you and Shawn around your swing.
You talked about the 790s being a best seller. I’m curious if you have a best selling shaft? Also - are you familiar with Club Champion is the US? If so - what would you say is the difference between your facility and theirs?
Hard to address that in a comment! We'll chat more about our fitting process in the future on the channel. As for a best-selling shaft, maybe Ian can go through a few in a future live Q&A
Very nice. So Ian and Matt are both golf robots, very discouraging being an old hack but I loved the information!! Maybe actually test that PXG against the P790 considering the money difference involved???
Hey Charlie, it was great meeting you tonight!! I really appreciate you introducing yourself. I'm so glad that you're enjoying the channel. Hopefully see you out at Rattlesnake sometime!!
Good review on PXG. Forums are typically split between braggers making outrageous claims and pure haters. Nice that you could offer a more balanced, reserved assessment. You guys are big fans of Srixon, any idea what to expect with the new 785/585 irons?
Great video again. I think this is kind of a Scotty v any other putter manufacturer. Scotties are just as good as most putter, and performance wise may not warrant the price tag, but is a super premium product, good craftsmanship and attention to detail etc.
The first 2 numbers tell you the type of metal, The second number tells you the percentage of carbon. The more carbon the harder and stronger a metal is
Love all the videos guys! Seeing as though Memorial Day is this coming Monday here in the states, here's a little tidbit about the name of these irons....0311 is representative of the Marine Corps MOS 0311 (job designation code). This designation is for a Marine Corps Rifleman which is the most common infantry designation stemming from Parson's time in the service. For all the vets watching, Parsons just announced a 50% discount to all active duty, veteran, retirees for the foreseeable future!! Semper Fi!
Got a set of these about a month ago. Great set of irons. Shot 82 and three putted last four greens. Also got an 0811 driver. Best driver I’ve ever hit. Thanks for your videos.

what is the different for cleveland irons and pxg irons
I love my PXGs. Bought em on sale now that gen 3 came out. Price right in line with other brands at this point for gen 2.
Problem is that the price for gen 2 is the similar to the price for current model of other brands.

I am currently now going to ne looking for a set and I have 3 irons right now in my sights.

Finally we see Ian hit balls! Lovely swing and great video you guys.
Are the screws purely cosmetic or are they used for something like speeding and slowing the rotation of the face?
perimeter weighting,and probably a bit of cosmetics as well - they aren't for adjustability

I got fitted by PXG. The 0311P Gen 2 was what I thought I would buy when I went in there. I left with a whole set but the irons were 0211. Not only do they feel just as good but my numbers were better with them. The rep told me they have to hide the 0211's if they want to sell anything else
The 0211's felt just as good as the 0311P's despite the latter being forged? I'm looking at both as you can get the 0211's for $100 CAD a club and the 0311P's for $169 CAD a club now.
your thoughts on Callaway legacy black irons?
Another top notch video thanks guys!
Txg I have the Callaway XR irons what is your thoughts on them ?
Good clubs as long as they were fit for you 😉
Yea they were fit
Love your guy’s golf studio. Funny how many pros decided they hated these clubs after one season. Clearly these clubs aren’t worth what they cost. The Japanese clubs like Miura, and especially Epon feel so damn good it’s ridiculous.
Wow.. I thought Ian was a fitting specialist. But very impressed with the swing and laser dead straight shot.
Great review guys. Thank you.
Talking ’bout accuracy. Great shots Ian!!!
Enjoyed the video. Obviously weakening the iron by 1 degree added spin and height to your shots. Don’t think comparing the P to the 790 is a correct comparison either. I’ve hit both these irons and feel hands down goes to the PXG. I’d say if the butter feel isn’t as important, you can match performance cheaper compared to the PXG.
When you talk about price per head, I believe that price includes your choice of shaft for the PXG. Is that true for the P790?
Dave Swenson promise u that if u get fit properly pxg will out perform other brands
Pxg shaft options are unreal and will only use your issue shafts unlike other brands who use a watered down version
Just purchased these with military discount for $119 per club plus tax and shipping, 5 through GW. So these were the cheapest option for me.
If you could get them at 50% off would they then be the best option
great video. Maybe a closest to the pin competition between Matt and Ian.
Thank you I found very interesting. Always wondered about TXG.
Hit the PXG at local demo day the rep said they are a huge upgrade from older PXG. I didn’t feel that, I also thought the TM, Calloway apex and Srixon and Ping. (They really seam to copy a lot of ping features ) felt better and flew better. It wasn’t a fitting so I was just using stock shaft. I would pay more if it performed better or gave me more confidence but right now I’m not being tempted by them.
I don't like hitting off turf, cuz when you hit fat, the turf forces the clubhead make contact with ball, crating a false sense of good contact. You should tee it up just a bit to simulate taking a divot or on a tee box. You need the clubhead to swing just below the ball for a real sense of contact. Hitting off turf gives that "drop kick" effect and make it seem like you are striking well, but on real grass, you will lose so much distance when you ht too far behind the ball!
great stuff. A right hander - thank god!
What happened to the second shot :)
Wasn't camera ready 😆😆😆
Many thanks for another excellent Vid Gents and the interesting role reversal, you both coped admirably. You have an excellent swing Ian, with an interesting forward movement of your head in the take away (is that deliberate)? Regarding PXG it`s interesting to see that they have helped launch a sub- category of Irons that has launched a number of "Me to" copies. However IMO despite the Price point I think that their Irons look ugly and almost everything about the company is vulgar and lacks class. But if Bob Parsons wants to continue investing his money into golf club development and that investment bears fruits that can be shared by all golfers, then their entry into the market is beneficial.
I m a 64 year old 10 index my last clubs were cobra baflers red graphite shafts good clubs for me 15 rounds in the 70s this year my best golf ever . I just got the pxg 0311 I a touch shorter but the stronger lift of baflers 1 club difference no biggy the Pxg hit straighter . And the 58vs my volkey 56 . 40?yards I dropped 15?of 20?inside a hula hoop . First time at the range.’
Good swings Ian. Nice to see the GCQuad and camera can face a different way. I presume they're different models ;-) On a serious note, a good review, especially the comment that your preferred shafts not gelling with the PXG head.
Srixon z545/745 and z565/765 are just hard to beat for price and performance.
Ian looks like Justin Rose at setup. Is the Ping I200 comparable to the PXG irons?
Ping i200 would probably compare closest to the 0311P from PXG (which Ian hit in this video)
Its a Nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel comprised of Ni .55%, Cr 0.50%, Mo 0.20%. The 20 in 8620 indicates there is around 20% carbon in it.
Great review guys, cool to see Ian strike a few🏌🏽👌🏻. Just watching the players championship and I was just wondering has Ian ever such such a trend in shaft choice as on your a Tensei orange! I seen Rosie, Garcia,woods,Noreen, Mcilroy, poultry among a few. I know you had a great video on the orange but it seems even more have been using it since then. And although it’s an anti right shaft relevant to how strong the tip section is, there are still some players that you wouldn’t profile into it that are gaming it?
Has to be one of the most obvious shaft trends recently, it suits the trend on tour of guys trying to hit mostly fades off the tee and eliminate the left side of the golf course.
Thank you Ian.
That swing is very smooooooooooth
Great swing, very smooth Ian! You seem to have a high opinion of Srixons, for high handicappers, would you recommend the g400s or srixon 565s (getting fit of course)?
G400's and Z565's are targeted to a bit different player - the G400 will fly higher and have a much wider sole. Important to test them out but they are both very good clubs.
Nice job, Ian! I’d love to see a continuation of this with the shaft change! Matt, you did just fine with the pseudo-fitting commentary lol.
Its time to get on the course...
Ping G700 as a competitor, looks similar design?
G700 would be closer to the XF line from PXG, but as you say similar look and design
PXG club designers are former PING designers.
why is Ian 2* flat? Those impacts were showing the toe 4* down.
Well done Ian!!!
Good review guys 👍👍👍
holy bazooka ball flight that first ball was insane
Taking a little closer look the second time around, I noticed you have a slight forward head movement during your backswing Ian. It occurs to me that it must drive Shawn Clement nuts to see that!!!...lol. I'd be curious to see a conversation and some analysis with you and Shawn around your swing.
Great video guys
You talked about the 790s being a best seller. I’m curious if you have a best selling shaft?
Also - are you familiar with Club Champion is the US? If so - what would you say is the difference between your facility and theirs?
Hard to address that in a comment! We'll chat more about our fitting process in the future on the channel. As for a best-selling shaft, maybe Ian can go through a few in a future live Q&A
Very nice. So Ian and Matt are both golf robots, very discouraging being an old hack but I loved the information!! Maybe actually test that PXG against the P790 considering the money difference involved???
Nippon spb are sweet. Played them for a long time
Hey Ian it's Charlie, I'm the guy you saw at golftown today. Big fan it was really cool meeting you!!
Hey Charlie, it was great meeting you tonight!! I really appreciate you introducing yourself. I'm so glad that you're enjoying the channel. Hopefully see you out at Rattlesnake sometime!!
Yeah for sure. It would be awesome seeing you there!!!
Good review on PXG. Forums are typically split between braggers making outrageous claims and pure haters. Nice that you could offer a more balanced, reserved assessment. You guys are big fans of Srixon, any idea what to expect with the new 785/585 irons?
We're excited about those 785/585's!
great ball striking Ian
Great video again. I think this is kind of a Scotty v any other putter manufacturer. Scotties are just as good as most putter, and performance wise may not warrant the price tag, but is a super premium product, good craftsmanship and attention to detail etc.
Lets see a match between u2.
129 right now! getting some of these.
The first 2 numbers tell you the type of metal, The second number tells you the percentage of carbon. The more carbon the harder and stronger a metal is
