puttingpirate Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Sooo, after playing for 2 years with my 0311s I decided to get re-fitted. Surprisingly after only playing for 2 years and being fitted for clubs at the very start (was struggling to hit the ball) vs now (play pretty much every day with the odd low 70s round) a lot of my spec stayed the same. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgGV99MBDj0 The 2 biggest changes were the swingweight (went from d6 to d3) as my swing smoothen out a lot, and the balance point. Went from the Project X LZ 5.5 115g tipped to KBS Tour C taper lite 100 S. Distance was exactly the same on both. On the new shaft I got about 3 yards higher flight on demand and a bit tighter dispersion. But the club feels different and apparently will help me come from the inside more as the head wont drag me outside. Anyway! Time to take them out to the course!

puttingpirate Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Where's a picture of that GunBoat? It's settling in the bag slowly :-) will do comparison after getting some more stats on it. After playing 36 yesterday seems like the original gunboat performs better. Need to give it some time :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaidJacket Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Pretty amazing to be shooting low 70's with only 2 years of golf experience. Most people can't accomplish that in a lifetime.

I figured little fairies brought them, encased in diamond crusted containers, to the buyer! Dang. Just cardboard?! Keep us up to date on how they play. Pretty cool.

jaskanski Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Most people can't accomplish that in a lifetime.... Most people can't afford two sets of PXG's in a lifetime either... Which always makes me chuckle when I see a PXG box - it should say: "You've never paid like this before" - lol. Just kidding. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttingpirate Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 So, first round I took them to; a little 9 hole par 3 course with a longest hole around 180 so perfectly designed for irons. And it was bad :-D I was fanning the face right open, i played the worst round around there ever So I walked it again. And then again and it started becoming better. I went to the range, few hundred balls later went to sleep. Next day I played my course - and the irons were on fire. It was windy as hell and first 2 holes I teed off with an iron just to get the feel of them (tho the range felt amazing) and I managed to break my distance records for my 7 and 8 irons. Strong fade moved onto being a baby draw. And i walked away with a 76 on the card with no birdies :-) So I'd say a solid round!

I mean they are the same clubs I've had before, just changed shafts and grips And they don't have the custom finish yet. New set of the Gen2 is coming to me in about a month so will post a lot of pictures then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTexGolfer Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Good looking clubs! Would love to try a set of PXG's to see how they shake out versus others. BP knows his target market and I think he is doing well with it so kudos to him. I can't imagine how hard it would be to break into the equipment business as a complete newbie. People hate on him but I honestly don't get it. If I could afford to try them I would, but he doesn't have to consult me about pricing before he launches a product. 400 Driver (8*) UST ATTAS Punch 6S F6 Baffler (16*) Matrix Red Tie 65Q4 816 H1 Hybrid (21*,23*) Diamana S+ Blue 82 HY Z765 (5-PW) +2* Aerotech Steelfiber i110cw Vokey SM5 50.08F 54.10M Aerotech Steelfiber i110cw PM Grind 60* Dynamic Gold S400 TR 1966 Anser 2 Z Star ball Pioneer Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for anyone to try out the old sticks just to see if PXG is the real deal or not lemme know! HAHA. Enjoy the gen2 ... they seem awesome.

puttingpirate Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yeah they should be good. Apparently they will be here around the release date so will make sure to compare the two. @Stroker :-D :-D Im afraid with their fitting process it's pointless to play with someone elses sticks :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
