I just bought a used set of 0311 Ps gen 4 for $721 total (4-pw). Seems like a fair price... Very excited to receive them
These clubs literally brought my index from a 10 to a 7 now. Best irons I’ve ever had
Do you have the 0311 P? I’m a 10 and am thinking about getting them
My daughter has the 0311XF gen 2 but needed a stiffer shaft than ladies flex. I ended up finding a fantastic deal on the Gen 5 0311p blackouts. They are amazing.
I just bought a set of gen 5 irons after a fitting. I can not wait for them to come in. Got the heroes pricing as well. Thank you @PXG
update?
@@v1llhelm724 they are amazing, I love them. I hit them better than any of my older clubs. They feel great on contact. I've been to many different fittings but these are hands down the best match for me.
@@v1llhelm724 I responded but it looks like it didn't go through. Bottom line was, I love these irons and would and should have done this from the beginning. It could have helped that I had a competent fitter. He said he was the regional manager.
Thanks for the review. Don’t remember if you mentioned the DLC Dark version or that they’re great to combo because the irons are very similar. I’m playing a combo with the t’s and the p’s with the break at the 8 iron. To me it’s the best of both worlds, getting speed and forgiveness of a hallow iron with true forged feel. They going to be in the bag for a very long time!
I know four buddies that game PXG irons. Two friends with Gen 2, one Gen 3 and one Gen 4. They swear by the performance of PXG irons. I like the way PXG irons look. But I’m a Mizuno fan boy and game nothing but Mizuno irons going back to the MP-32’s.
Mizuno sucks
I played Mizuno JPX850 forged and miss the feel. PXG Gen 3 now and will admit they are more forgiving. But the “soft” feel from a PXG feels a little less connected than my Mizuno. Both are awesome I prefer Mizuno feel.
They slightly firmed up the feel with Gen5. Still get that got it feel thou, just not too soft like Gen4
umm I have MP-59's and my 0211 originals feel so much better and softer even when pured 0211 feels softer.
They look good but if I was going PXG I would grab a set of Gen3 or Gen4 for the huge price difference.
I went gen4 and am pleased
I went gen 3 black friday deal...they are solid clubs
I’m not downing the gen 5 but I had a set 4-g irons and I couldn’t get the distance out of them and I ended up trying out a set of Cleveland zipcore and I gained 30+ yards on my clubs. Same club speed and hitting the “sweet spot” for both clubs. I guess it’s true when they say every golfer is different with preference. I do admit tho. The dark horse looks very amazing while playing with them.
Think that I have the best combo set PXG now offers. 5i-G. Have the Gen 5 P 5 & 6 irons and the Gen 3 P 7-GW. More distance with the 5 & 6. More spin / stopping power in the accuracy irons 7-GW. Luv 'em. Rub 'em against my leg every nite before bed.
Golf’s best irons to date
@MeandMyStaffy they look astonishing in person. I’m aware there’s PXG haters out there.
I bought some used PXG wedges. What I've found is: as they age the weights cease up in them, and if you're not very careful, and use your favoured penetrating oil, you could round off the torx heads...
I got two set , one gen 4P black 6 to Gap and a 4 XP and a 5 P and the X driving iron , but my true live is for my Gen 1 P 5 to PW with Gen3 P iron 3 and 4. I use a proto 3 and 5 wood and Gen5 7.5 0311 Driver . Love your products @pxg .
PXG FTW ! I got 0311 xf gen 2 for $800 shipped from PXG. They were $4k when they first dropped lol. Patience is a virtue people. These are gorgeous but I'm buying GEN 3 next . The greatest feeling iron ever made.
Wise decision You will love them! 👍
Have 0211s first set ever, fitted prior to buying too... Now I'm dialed in and more consistent after my first year.. I have to say, I honestly could use more loft.
I went in to buy a 14 club full bag of gen 4 for $2500 and ended up buying the gen 5 for $4000. They hit further and softer than the previous generation and are still fairly priced vs off the shelf clubs. Add in the custom fit experience and I am a big fan. I think their commercials turn some people off, but they are great clubs.
It's awesome to hear that you're enjoying your GEN5s. Glad to have you in the #PXGTroops 💪 ^Chelsea
My 0311 gen 3 irons suit my game. At $129 dollars per iron you can't beat it. No need or desire to chase the shiny new objects. 😏
@@TAYLORFAN50 I have heard the Gen 3 are better than the 4’s so you have a great set for sure!
Thanks Landmantx - good luck with gen 5's. 👍
I have the Gen 3 and love them. I didn't see much difference when I tested the G4. The look of the G5 is not that appealing to me. We will see when I test them if they are worth switching.
I also have the Gen 3 Irons in a P and T combo. 130 a club custom fit. They look and feel great. I don’t see any reason to purchase the new Gen 5 irons.
@@richardskinner5050 I Have the Gen 3 also. Love them so much don't see any reason to upgrade.
I did use the savings to upgrade to Aero Tech shafts.
@@roddnelson1519 They are truly amazing irons. The feel of them for a hollow back design is incredible. And at that price, they are a steel.
@MeandMyStaffy why do u say total junk?
@MeandMyStaffy - You referencing the PXG golf clubs or you're significant other, "Rosie Palm"? 😏
I went in to PXG a couple months ago for a fitting, and told them straight out I wasn't interested in gen5 - I'd not pay for them.
BUT, at the time they were still doing fittings for gen3 and gen4 at equal or less price per club than the 0211 even - so ultimately I ended up buying a set of Gen 3 T irons made for me (i preferred them to the gen4) and got my brand new "old" clubs for less than 25% of the original msrp. Crazy cheap.
I love the clubs, and while I agree they don't really do anything that other top of the line offerings don't - for less than a set of cast game improvement clubs I am absolutely ecstatic with what I got for not having to have the latest/greatest.
The brand as a whole is odd - what I really like about PXG (aside from their closeout pricing) is that most brands don't offer their top tier construction/materials but you can get game improvement irons from PXG that are 5x forged, etc. Most other brands you have to buy more players' irons to get the best quality stuff. I wasn't interested in the XP line, but all the quality/tech/etc in my T model clubs is there in the XP - right down to the terrific feel. That's rare in competitors.
About price change frustration, no mystery here. Just wait a year or two and buy when the newest models come out. Prior models drop in price. Patience is a virtue, and you get great clubs at competitive prices!
Sure. But I’m playing with them now and planning on keeping them for years.
Just picked up a set of the P irons used for for $350 US. Great clubs bet the deprecation value is scary.
i just got the 0211 irons for about 5 rounds now and not sold on them yet. i was fitted in person but need some range work with them to zero them in. they are 10-15+ yards longer with the R graphite shaft and hotter clubhead and a lot lighter in weight. i had been playing ping i25 with R steel. i'm 72yrs old and 12 hdcp.
My favorite channel right now!!
Thanks for the awesome videos!!
Personal think the pxg brand is a hype line.. just too let others know you have extra cash to burn on something.. if the numbers were out standing or the look was a little more 🔥I’d kinda get it.. but for now there are better options for a lot less..
😃
With their recent pricing I respectfully disagree. Titleist drivers which I do love are now 600 US
i have the gen 5 full bag, and it's very good
Glad to have you rocking our gear 💪 ^Chelsea
well everyone has ranted and raved about the pxg 0311 for years. you can fetch the gen2 for about 700 usd and you get 10 clubs 4 to lobb with Gucci shafts. so why buy the latest designer option.
Hey there ! Is the T less forgiving than the P or similar? Thanks
I like the looks, something different! Price is laughable! I play with TP11 irons, best feeling and looking irons ever!
You’re spot on Mike with PXG’s pricing policy. I bought the Gen 3 Irons on release after a custom fit and paid £400.00 per club. Within 11 months they brought out the Gen 4 at £249.00 per. Obviously the Gen 3’s plummeted in value and despite my efforts to make my feelings known to the fitter and UK MD, NOBODY replied. Shameful business ethics. Would give up golf before ever buying PXG again..!
That’s silly. All golf clubs go down when the newer models come out!
Maybe you should have patience. Lmfao I gotta have the newest clubs. You sound like a kid at a candy store. I used 20 year old clubs till I could afford new ones. Still hit them just fine . Got my PXG Blades for 89 dollars a piece and my PXG gen 3 Ps for 129 a piece. Patience is a virtue. Everybody thinks I paid thousands of dollars for my clubs.
Or you can just go buy them and enjoy them. I think irons (because of PXG) are getting like drivers. Very little improvement. The hollow body was imho the big game changer.
Guess he replaces his car every year minimum. Right? Complains about the money lost on that too? Lol
You do know this is how the golf equipment industry (and really any retail industry) works, right? New clubs come out every year, and the last year’s model loses value?
I just bought Gen 5, 4-9 plus Pitching and gap wedges for $1300.
Great overview. These new ones do look nice.
I have Gen 1 0311 and I still love them. I hit gen 3 and it was no better. I would expect Gen 5 probably isn't any better either. Right now I am interested in the EDEL SMS.
Hi Dave - We encourage you to take them for a spin in a fitting. With robotic testing, we saw a marked increase in ball speed, distance and dispersion with each of our generations and the GEN5s are the best by far. ^Chelsea
i like the look, but I also like the Taylormade TP MC and MB from back in the day.so i guess i like screws and black on silver
@MeandMyStaffy to each their own
I’ve owned the 0211, Gen3 and Gen4 they all feel fantastic of the face but are no better than other makes and you lose a small fortune every time you want to upgrade. Loving my i525 and confident the loss will be half of pxg when changing
How do the i525 compare to the Gen3 and gen4?
@@haydenlewis4040 the feel off the face of the gen3 and gen4 is truly amazing, the gen 4 are the best of the 3 pxg I have owned. The i525 don’t feel like a forged club and are no where near as forgiving as the gen series PXG’s. My problem was the amount of money I was losing every time I was changing the clubs. Pxg have a strange pricing policy, you can pay £225 for a club one day and the next day they are £150. Hope this helps. I don’t rate the woods or hybrids, the gen4 driver was half the club of the ping g425 lst .
Great video. What about a used set of Gen5 plus a fitting? Can get a set for $900. Still over $100 an iron but probably half of a new set. Your thoughts on used clubs with the shafts I currently use. Is it worth it if I have to include a fitting?
PXG offer 50% discounts for US and Canadian Veterans and Military. That would likely address some of the value and pricing concerns for those customers
More than a set of Miuras!
Laughable. I choose my Miura’s every day of week and twice on Sunday. If I were looking for hollow body irons I’d look at the P770 & Mizuno 225. Would not even waste a second considering a PXG product, especially at that price
beautiful clubs at a price that leaves me breathless and unmotivated. of course all clubs these days, even used models unless they are so old they are beat up beyond interest are too much money for value. great review as always.
I think there’s clearly a market for PXG, however when you look at the numbers, they simply don’t equate to 2-3 times the price of other brands.
I think they are planning to lower their price point to matchup with the competition based on the recent price drops. Why would anyone pay 400 per for these? 200 per club seems more realistic.
Agreed. It seems the market is veterans and police because they get the price the public gets two years later at release. As a vet myself I’d rather see the general public get that price as well to increase brand awareness and reach. They are great clubs but you make a valid point on how much is too much.
I've payed 190 each for my clubs
Good thing you can go buy a full bag for 2600 bucks lol that would be on par or cheaper then the other brands
Price points as always drop, best plan wait for about 6-8 months after release and the get them. they drop about 1/3. PXG is a solid Iron and Hybrids. I have not had much success with driver or fairways.
Many players like myself need forgiveness but it seems having pros hit the club doesn't help me decide. Could you put a circle sticker about an inch in size on the sweet spot and then hit the clubs outside that sticker and see how they do. Then each club you test you could do 20 shots outside the circle and see how they perform. Thanks.
Lol
Those comparative numbers are odd. P went farther than XP? P had higher peak height than T?
They'll always be plenty of second hand sets out there .
could someone explain why the t model has lower swing speed? maybe due to the weight of the club head?
They look good but probably hard to clean with all those screws.
Will you be reviewing the pxg woods too?
Surely PXG being primarily a direct to consumer brand (via their fitting bias) are doing only what other brands do; when they bring out a new club they drop their prices for the prior iteration. I don’t think they drop then raise their price for the same club as you suggest. As for the launch price of the Gen5’s is it that much more expensive for a 7 club set as any other fully Forged head at launch?
They did for the 0211 range……was launched and a few weeks later dropped in price….and then again. Currently the driver is about £125 cheaper than when it first launched and it’s still current product.
I’ve read good things about the new PXG driver, but I’m staying with my Cobra. I think PXG is a product leader in irons. Driver tech was more advanced when PXG got in the market.
@@MichaelNewtonGolf Hi there - We will often do special pricing, so pricing will drop below retail prices for a limited time. When we are about to release new product, we do more permanent deals on clubs to clear space for new inventory, which is what happened with our 0211 line. ^Chelsea
@@robertbencangey6207 Never know until you give ours a try to see if it compares 😉 ^Chelsea
I just got fitted and purchased an 8-piece set of GEN 3s for a little over $1000. The were 70% off of original price of $425 per club. They’re awesome, but certainly not worth $3400 for 8 clubs, which is what a lot of folks paid when they first came out. I hear more good stuff about the GEN 3 than any of the other generations.
I got gen 3 Ps for my 5 and 6 irons. So easy to hit and they sound amazing. The rest of my clubs are PXG Blades. Gotta have Blades for my scoring clubs
Gen4 was too soft. They made Gen5 slightly firmer. I went with a combo p & t with a break at the 8. I weakened the loft of the 5 to 7 1 degree. Helped retain height and spin. Best I’ve owned.
Rather spend £500 on the 0211 than pay over the top for something that’s more than three times the price and not much better than it’s cheaper counterpart
I got fitted for the 0211 DC irons, 6-GW, in April, $100 CDN. I'm hitting them 10-12 yds farther.
That’s the way of it cheaper clubs still doing the business.The thing is people think spending more is going to make there game better some how 👍
Gen 3 are best so far
Have you tried the new GEN5s in a fitting appointment? We think they will knock your socks off! ^Chelsea
I tried them. Was pretty disappointed when compared to the excellent Gen3 irons they had. Similar performance, with the P model having less spin than the Gen3 for me
You just don't even know what you are talking about....Lolz. I've had every generation of PXG irons and the Gen5 are by far the best performing, and the Gen4's are the softest. The Gen3 irons are subpar to the 4/5. Take price out of the equation and thats what you get.
@@MXJEFF94 Well, i guess for me, the Gen3 performed the same or in the case of the P, better, for me. That's what I'm talking about, if you have difficulty comprehending what I wrote.
Looking forward to trying the gen 5 irons soon. I love and game the gen 3s and they perform very well for me. Best irons I have ever had. So May be hard to top them but keeping an open mind. For me the key is not distance but tightness of dispersion, and stopping power on the greens though have not had bad results from the gen 3s to date either.
Gen5 is more forgiving. No debate there. I think better feeling and my mid and short irons stop within inches a lot of the time.
I understand the gen 5 is injected molded where as previously it was a pre-formed material.
I could see cost savings in ejection I'm curious how do they make sure there is no voids and or deflection or re-flection on the face. What I would love to see is someone to cut open all gens of PXG hollow body irons and examine the magic material used and their weight and compression qualities. I do own the gen 3 0311 XP and do love them! I love your channel also! So professional and classy.
If you got to a PXG store they have the heads cut in half for you to see
Thanks good to know.
The only store I know of is in Arizona.
Unless the fitters have them too.
The fitters have them with them to show you
I wish I had known that when I got fitted.
Maybe next time.
Really not something I would consider, mainly due to yo-yo pricing. But also because the clubs just look too busy to me. I stick with simple CB clubs without a lot of frills. Simple blades are the best looking clubs, but I’m just way too inconsistent with them and need more forgiveness.
Yea I think that’s for every player lol
more importantly, what shoes are those?
Ecco 👍
Interesting how perception has changed. When they were expensive, they were the best thing since sliced bread. Now they have reduced the pricing they’re just so so, nothing special?
Ugly logo and ugly irons. May be great clubs..I don’t know but aesthetically not my cup of tea.
Nothing wrong with that. I love my Gen 3s & not so sure about the two-tone look of these new ones. Might go to the polar opposite aesthetic with Mizuno 225s. Lots of good choices these days. If only Titleist would publicly release Cam Smith's black T100s! Those would be sweet. Maybe later this year.
Remember, no professional who is winning golf tournaments plays PXG’s!
Do you have "google" to test that theory? I'll take my answer off the air.....
Did he not answer his own question? Did they blow you away?
why do people review from the comfort of a simulator? Why not go out on the course and do it out there.
Those look like they'd be a pain to keep clean and free of dirt on the sole of the club b/c of the weights. Seems like a poor design.
News flash - try hitting on the face of the club! Duh. 😏
Meh… prefer seeing something other than 7 iron after 7 iron after …… if possible
That's how the golf business works...7 irons are what is used to test.
They look great while new, but once you've played a few rounds won't those screw heads get filled with mud and dirt?
All over the park with these. Very atypical for you. I'm not sure they're consistent across the face. Too jazzed up for me. I would not buy these, they are overpriced and there is better out there.
To pricey, nice clubs but not for me.
Hands down they make the ugliest clubs in golf. I don't know how anyone can think those bolts or screws look good. Can never get over that.
Hit one and you will know why people love them.
I agree with you on the pricing (just silly, really) but have to disagree with you on the looks (I personally find them to be hideous with all the bolts & screws all over). Throw in Mr. Parson’s grating voice and commercials, and I’m fairly certain I’ll never own a PXG product.
You are missing out!
Love mine!
The ugliest irons on the market.
@MeandMyStaffy So I guess you agree?
Personally I thought the ping I3s were the ugliest and still are. All the ping i series are 🤣🤣 these aren't amazing looking like the mavericks but they aren't bad. Lol
Who care how "pretty" they are, it's about performance. Llet me tell you, these clubs deliver.
@@TAYLORFAN50Absolute Performance!!
The black elites look amazing.
Excuse me, did you say you’re hitting 7-iron? They’re lofted 27-30* do they even offer a 3 or 4 iron? Would you carry 5, maybe 6 wedges? The 27 is stronger than my 5 iron and that “players” 30* right between my 5 & 6.
At my lofts, 9-iron is 44, I carry 4 wedges; 48, 52, 56, 60. At that 7-iron loft, 9-iron 36-40? That has to be the stupidest set design I’ve ever heard of.
Why play wedges with 4 degree gaps? Most pros don't even bunch them up that close. I swing my pw 90 mph and with 4 degree gaps still only have 10-12 yard gaps. Most would be better off with 5 degree gaps because at average swing speeds you'd be about 10-12 yard gaps
@@kourt2469 8-PW are my scoring clubs. If I’m 160-125 in fairway, unless it’s a really difficult pin location, I’m expecting to be looking at a makeable putt.
I do not always carry 4 wedges, I actually have 6 wedges. The 48 is a fixture, it pairs ideally w/44* 9-iron which I consistently hit 145-148. I hit the 48 132-135 on full swing. I never use any Wedge for full swing except the 48* and on very rare occasions the 60 on a tight lie to a very firm and fast green.
In the 4-wedge makeup my 48* is 8* bounce, 52/11, 56/15, 60/6. I use this on my 2 “normal courses” which are mostly deep and very fine sand, longish rye fringe and tight fairways. The high bounce 56 is ideal for the sand and the 52 or 56 best suited to fluffy lie fringe. I only carry the 60 for tight fairway shots from 50-60 yds, which honestly are rare.
On the occasion I play wet and/or course heavy sand I commonly carry 3 wedges; 48/8, 53/9, 59/7.
I don’t replace irons, or woods often. I know what works for me, as long as it can achieve my desired launch window with each, no need for change. I however change wedges annually, usually due to groove wear or possibly aesthetics or feel. I too often change putters. Putter, wedges and short irons are what defines my scoring. I try to always have the best tool suited for the job and that means confidently knowing the exact carry distances on my wedges within tightest window possible.
I almost hit the dislike button, but it wouldn't fair to Mr. Newton to punish him for Bob Parson's grating and incessant advertising, I will never even watch a club review about PXG equipment.
You just did dummy. Even took time to comment 🤷🏼♂️
@@bendersautoservice6587 How do you know he watched it?
Yet here you are!
@@bendersautoservice6587 wrong! I hit dislike and moved on without watching
,
Why aren't golf clubs reviewed in America? Try to understand people that sound like they have a mouth full of Kangaroo meat is difficult to say the least!
Maybe it’s you, not me 🤷♂️
I had the gen3 abs didn’t like the gen4 but I love the gen5 more, my reasoning it feels better and my toe strikes are very forgiving I’m playing the t models and that made all the difference in the world for me , your review was dull on these abs seemed quick but I like on course testing the best
T Gen 5 significantly more forgiving than Gen 3? I'm playing Gen 3 5-6 P + 7-W T. Considering full set of Ps to get some more forgiveness but if the new ones are more forgiving then maybe I'll stick with the same makeup.
The numbers on the review were screwy - he should've taken out at least that one pull-hook with the P, which read around 3500rpm and skewed all the numbers.
@@canyonaro I definitely think the gen5 are more forgiving but significant is really hard to say, but if you like the smaller profile I think these are an upgrade tbh the 4’s were not imho not trashy in distance but in misses, my miss is toe side just for reference
PXG offer 50% discounts for US and Canadian Veterans and Military. That would likely address some of the value and pricing concerns for those customers
