    The more I see of PXG the more I like the Brand and the man behind the Brand, I don't imagine that there are any other CEO's taking time to watch YT reviews of their Products. I currently have a GEN2 Driver and two of their Hybrids and the main thing that you notice is the sheer quality of the product. Most modern Drivers look as though they will fall apart after a couple of years whilst the PXG Drivers look and feel like they are built to last.
    I'm setting up a fitting shortly to try the 0211's and I don't expect to be disappointed.

      I also played mizuno most of my life, and and currently went with the 0211. I went pxg though the bag. To be honest they all perform as well as anything I've ever played. The driver out performs mizuno about the same as titleist and the wedges are smooth and silky I'm playing the gunboat h and shelved to different scotty Cameron putters. They are up to par with anything out there and I've had the opportunity to play the best. It's a mental game so play what inspires you and you will enjoy your game more

    I bought a PXG driver some 15 months ago and its definitely one of the most consistent clubs in my bag (although I 'm sure the shaft helps!). What convinced me to buy it? I was going to settle for the Ping G400 but when I tried the PXG, I got 5-10 yds more on a good hit. However, The deal breaker was where perhaps I could lose up to 20-30 yds with an off-centre hit with the Ping, I lost half that (or less) with the PXG, as you noted with the irons!!! I think that's where this brand stands out. As you say, every club maker has great clubs but I suspect the PXG range may help a little more with off-centre or poorer shots...I also have to confess that I managed to get a very good deal and at the full price, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have taken the plunge!

    A couple of things; they don’t assess your 7 iron to see if it’s equivalent to their 7 or 8 iron, then (although this is taking in you high SS) when spin drops 600rpm to still be 8000rpm for 7 iron it is said to be “under control”. Are you comparing equivalents and is dropping the spin just down to loft and actually is optimal?

    Something to note when comparing price with other brands is that PXG doesn't charge you more to get different shafts than stock. Mizuno is the only other brand that doesn't up-charge you for shafts. This ends up saving a significant amount of money when all is said and done.. especially when you're talking about Driver shafts that can be $200+

    "If you spend $4,000 on lessons you're going to be a lot better than if you spent $4,000 on golf clubs" - not even close to true. Over the years I've spent more than that on lessons and I genuinely tried my best to follow their instruction and practice drills. Truly I did. And what I found is everyone has their own way of teaching, their own views on what they think is best for you, and even their own views on what drills are best. Very few instructors can pivot from their base knowledge to cater to each of their student's specific needs both in terms of technique and practice drills. More often than not lessons will be a waste of money. My recommendation is get the basics from golf youtubers for free - essential things like grip, alignment, etc. then spend your money on good clubs and call it a day. The rest of the money can be used on green fees where you will learn the most - by playing the game. I would never recommend $4,000 for lessons unless you're really good and looking at playing for college or pro but for the average golfer don't ever pay that.

    Just hit the 0211 Irons yesterday and the GEN 1 driver and I was straight smashing the ball. Super consistent and loved the ball flight of both irons and driver. I got fitted for 5-PW, Driver and I might even chuck in one of their 22* hybrids that I hit really really well instead of a 4/3 iron. I never really was into hybrids but I really smacked the heck out of it and I think it would play well in my bag as that in between club driver and 5 iron. I was on the fence between these and some Titelist MBs and although they are apples to oranges I'm leaning towards these for mainly the price with Hero's Discount.

  • @michaelg3911
    @michaelg3911 4 роки тому +6

    I got a set of 0211's recently. At $95 a club it's a very attractive deal. I didn't do a proper full fitting but used my latest fitting specs and ordered them online. I'm currently using a a set of Wishon 771CSI's. At the range I fully expected the 0211's to outperform the 771's. I was very disappointed. The 0211's gave me a sensation of just a heavy thud when hitting the ball. I hit my 34 degree 7 iron around 150 - 155. I hit the 0211 31 degree 7 iron a few yards shorter. Are these meant for a higher swing speed player to take advantage of the filled hollow head? I will get them done up right but now it will cost me a bit more. My suggestion for anyone thinking about ordering a set is go get a real in-person fitting. I really do like the looks of the irons as they do look very sharp. Looking down at them they have a nice profile with the thinner top line. The quality of the fit and finish is top notch. Everything about their appearance says quality.

    @AlessandroVolta1 5 років тому

    I just got my 0211s with the steel elevate shafts. My other clubs are Adams Blue with Graphite. I gave up some distance but they are deadly accurate which should improve my scores. I literally just got back from the range and went through two large baskets. I love them. I also got the hero discount and a free XF Driver which feels and looks awesome too. Again, I think I gave up some distance, but can control the ball flight much better. I would think that as I get used to steel shafts, I'll be able to start picking up some distance. Only thing that I don't care for so far are the Lamkin PXG grips. If your hands sweat, they are slippery.

  • @kcbusch1
    @kcbusch1 5 років тому

    I went through the fitting about 2 weeks ago, in Seattle's new PXG store. I had a great time and I ended up purchasing the 0211s. I actually hit them better and liked the feel of them better. They are set to arrive tomorrow evening and I can't wait to get to know them. I took a long break, 20+ years, from golf, so when I came back, about a year ago, I got the Cal Big Bertha's for forgiveness. Now they feel clunky and 0211 felt excellent. Thanks for doing the review! BTW, it's the exact same face on both clubs, just the body is either forged or cast.

  • @scottdean27
    @scottdean27 2 роки тому +1

    So all that time was used by yourself and the fitter, setting things up, driving there, having conversation and hitting a lot of golf balls, and in the end, you didn’t even know the loft of your own club that the PXG was being “compared” to. It would have taken less than two minutes to check the loft of your own club. Your club could have been anywhere from 2 to 5 degrees weaker, depending on manufacturing tolerances and the repeated use of the club, so how can you “compare” the numbers at all? It’s nice that you got fitted for an individual PXG iron, but there was not really any comparison here as far as ball speed, spin rate, or distance since you don’t know what lofts you were comparing.

    • @daw162
      @daw162 5 років тому

      That's funny. You have to really create some false dilemmas to make them look like a good deal at all. Little has changed in irons over the years, which means little used used irons of better make (especially with the almost hilarious choice of going to a couple of hundred dollars per iron for casted clubs) is a far better idea. Buy the high spec clubs for a couple of hundred dollars, get them bent (because they're not cast and you can actually do that), and get them shafted and gripped as you like.
      Drivers made a lot of progress until about 2005 or so (not much really there other than gadgetry since then), but the introduction of new irons every year is almost a joke. But not as big of a joke as horrible looking casted irons like these for several hundred dollars per club. A lot of their chinese made clubs are in the range of the finer miura irons, which makes absolutely no sense at all.
      From an outsider's opinion, it almost looks as if the company is set up to run a social experiment. Spend money on branding, hype, endorsements, and see if you can find the top wallet sizes in the market and move them away from the truly expensive to make clubs that are still made in the western world in small numbers.

    As someone who used to help do the fitting process in a golf store, do you not agree that as part of the process the fitter should have to tell you the loft of the club he’s fitting you for and measure the current loft of your own club. It just seems really disingenuous for them to constantly show numbers from trackman which show “correct” spin and higher distances etc when it’s really a club less loft wise?

      Thanks for response. I suppose that’s true about the loft machine. But realistically the main reason they wouldn’t is because they know it would destroy sales. There always seems to be a lack of thought into gapping to. If he fitted you for clubs that went 10 yards further then surely the gapping from the 9/pitching wedge and the gap wedge in the bag is just getting bigger and bigger.

      Clive Newman I think a lot of it is you hope you find someone who isn’t just working for commission. It’s part of the job I didn’t like weirdly.
      I think the trick is to ask as many questions of the fitter comparing their suggested club to your own and thinking why they are saying it.
      At the end of the day, does it feel better, what’s the loft difference and is that causing numbers to look better, why does everyone think more yards on all clubs is always better, is the dispersion better, and most importantly is their really enough difference in performance to make it worth while in comparison to getting the swing improved

      My only problem with Mizuno fitting is they offer a tour van fitting for an extra £500. Now for me all fittings should be tour quality imo so does this mean the standard Mizuno fitting is sub-standard compared to the tour fitting. If your paying close to £1000 for irons it should be the best possible fitting not just a mediocre fitting.

There is little difference in ignoring lesser brands and going for a £500-£800 set of irons from Cobra, Callaway, Ping or anyone else. This is the same thing just on a wider scale.

    Just been fitted for Mizuno 919 tour irons ,after not getting on with the AP3 iron for last 18 months ,tried a load of stuff and that Mizuno came out best by a mile and surprisingly easy to hit and felt great .£200.00 a stick for a cast club in PXG ,no thanks .PXG cheaper range (if it can be called that ) is a bit like buying a Porsche Boxter ,you can tell everyone you have a Porsche ,but do you really ? Each to their own and buy what you want ,I just think PXG are kind of responsible for jacking club prices up in general by making others look cheap and forcing other companys to increase prices ,which will turn people off from golf .

    If you really want to just blow a bunch of money Cos you want some fancy shit that no one else at your club has....but some miuras. 😂
    I did exactly that.... but I will also gladly admit that it was a good 50% ego wanting to have something exclusive and shiny that few others do have etc.
    Having said that, they are beautiful clubs to play with and I will swear blind that by a mile they look (looks are subjective), sound, feel and play better than anything else I tried (and that includes clubs like p790, cobra forged tec, titleist blades and the new Wilson staff blades.)
    In summary, buying expensive stuff is totally fine... but just be honest about the reasons you are doing it and don’t expect it to suddenly make you a better player.
    But on the flip side, if having those clubs makes you feel happy and makes you want to get out and play more golf, then they are worth it right!?

      Fergus Reeve well said. So much hate from people regarding price. I’m not a rich man but love golf and it’s my main hobby. Really want some Miura mc 501 s. Know they won’t make me play better but they are the best looking irons I’ve seen

    • @fergusreeverealestate.7409
      @fergusreeverealestate.7409 5 років тому +1

      That’s exactly what I have. And they made me better for sure....
      By playing blades it made me focus and concentrate on putting in a good swing and hitting the middle- not just swinging hard with my big SGI clubs. In jan this year I was averaging 94 per round, now I’m averaging 87 per round.... I put a good chunk of that down to my miuras.
      But most importantly they put a giant smile on my face and I love when people ask me what they are and want to see them... gives me a self satisfied grin every time and makes me play more golf.
      I could not speak highly enough of the MC 501 and very highly recommend them. I did not like the IC 601 however.
      I have mine in a graphite recoil smacwrap Es780 shaft, which I also totally love and far prefer to any steel shafts I tried- despite the fact that I swing pretty fast (my driver swing speed is around 108-112mph.) I would recommend you also at least try graphite’s and not just steel, graphite tech has moved on so far now and there are so many good options for irons and hybrids etc.
      Also the fitting process was excellent and I only have 5 Miura irons in my bag. So I bought my first one in jan 2019 and then bought one each month until I had the 5 clubs I needed... spread the cost out and made it manageable buying my self one treat each month.
      That being said, from A purely practical point of view there is no need for expensive clubs at all.... its about admitting the truth that it’s something you want, not something you need. And if your cool with that, then bang on ahead!
