Love most TaylorMade products, especially their M2 and SIM wood lines. But WAY over valued and anyone forking out two billion $$$ will likely take a bath in red ink once the next golf industry downturn occurs.

I am 60 and feel fortunate to have been retired for several years. Living in Southern California, I am usually able to weather wise and try and play 2-3 times a week. Have played around 75 different courses and around 150 rounds per year if you take my 2018-2020 stats and average them. There are few courses within 50 miles of anywhere I have lived in my adult life that I have not played at some point. Am now consciously trying to work in more high end destination type courses while I can still swing somewhat decently. While I hope I'm still around and playing in my 80's, I want to play some of the nicer courses while I'm still playing the Blues and hitting an 8 iron from 150, not a 5W. I would have thought when I was younger that I would have wanted to play golf consistently about 5 days a week if I was able. However, in my case that has not proven accurate. I'll go through stretches where I'll play a bunch of days in a row, sometimes 2-3 regulation 18 hole rounds in a day. If the weather is nice, I have the time and feel like it, I usually play. If one is missing, I don't. I may take a few days to even a few weeks off, then I'm ready to play a bunch again. But it usually averages out to around a dozen rounds per month.

Have played about 25 rounds with my 2020 0211's so far. Started with the MMT 80 Graphite stiffs in the 2020 0211's. After about a dozen rounds, thought they were too light and maybe too whippy for me. Changed to stiff Elevate 95 steel's, like the feel better. I played Pings for 45 years before these. Like many, I was enticed to try the 0211's after extreme price cuts. Glad I did. They are a club shorter than the Ping G700's I was playing on near perfect hits. However, I find them to be superior on even slight mishits, and my circle of long/short hits is much closer on the PXG's. IMO, the 0211's are good irons.

5 Wood all day long. Easy to hit and get airborne, good recovery club. Played a 5W for decades from the 1970's until roughly 2000... not sure why I went away from one? Recently went back and glad I did.

I got 2 sets of the 2020 0211 irons. First set was from PXG Express in 11/2020 that was rated Excellent, almost like new. 4I -LW. After trying them did not like the MMT 80 Stiff graphite shafts, so traded them out for Stiff Elevate 95 steel shafts. Second set new from PXG in 12/2020. Stiff Elevate 95 steel shafts, 4I -LW. I like the look and feel of these irons. Also got a PXG wood set with the new iron set. 0811X Driver I like. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 60 stiff shaft. Seems to be consistent. Maybe not as long as the TaylorMade M2's I was playing, but miss hits seem to be consistently better. 0341X 3W was okay for hitting off the fairway. However, I did not care for the shallower face it teed up a little bit and traded it for an 0211 3W because the 0211 face was a little taller. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 70 stiff shaft. 0341X 5W HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 70 stiff shaft. Hit it okay but the face was not holding up well, so returned it to PXG last week. Only one of the 23 clubs I purchased that I was unhappy with. PXG delivered the new set in 3 1/2 weeks. Very impressed with their turnaround time compared to clubs ordered from other manufacturers in the last part of 2020 that took months, and months, and months.
