forzabucks Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Shafts are Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 105, with Golf Pride plus 4 grips. Very light and stiff, and will be just as much of an upgrade for me as the club heads. My previous set was the first set I learned to golf with. I wanted to wait til I was confident enough in my game to get a proper fitting. Hopefully the rain lets up today and I can give these a run! I shared the packaging pics because I'm a marketing guy at heart, and details like this matter to me. I love the way PXG was developed and branded. I actually got to meet Jim Parsons at a golf club in Colorado two years ago and he was telling me about his cool new clubs. I'm a huge fan of guys bringing new ideas to the table and trying to do things a little different. I know Jim is a polarizing figure in the golf world, but I think we can all agree that anyone putting up time and money to help develop aspects of the game we love is ultimately a good thing. When I went to the Masters this year (dressed in my profile pic!), I was stunned by how many pros I saw with PXG's in their bag. It's pretty unreal that Jim was able to accomplish so much in a few short years. As for the high price...well, I spend a ton of money on golf already (including travel), so I figured investing into the most important tools should be amortized over a long life of playing them. Getting properly fitted at other places would have run me in the same range, and my brother has been a huge fan of his PXG's, so I figured to give it a go. I'm hoping that the cost ends up being more than I would have liked to pay, but less than it's worth, if that makes sense.

BIG STU Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 If I had a 5 handicap like you, I would be enjoying the hell out of the game even more than I already am! Well I do not take it as seriously any more since I quit playing comps and big money games. I could work at it and more than likely get it down but I still maintain the 5 from the more forward tees aka gold or senior tees. If I played or practiced more I would probably move back to the mid tees.

forzabucks Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 OP - do you have any figures from your fitting that you are willing to share? Specs from your old clubs to the new ones? You pick up distance? consistency? My old clubs were Callaway X2 Hot, with graphite shots....definitely wrong for my swing speed. I will have some better numbers by Thursday evening, as I will be using the new set with a trackman. Just hitting on the range, I've definitely noticed more distance and much better control. Mishits still suck, but that is a swing issue. I'll share #'s as I get them... I can say I'm really loving the 56 wedge.

RookieBlue7 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I dropped my PXG 7 and 9 Irons On the cart path Saturday after I hit balls with them for the first time. Hit them after my round (my foursome didn't tell me they'd changed our teetime we've had for 19 years while I've been working 7/12's the past 2 months). So I hit them afterward. Didn't put them in my bag, just carried them in the front seat of the cart. Hit a stick and it shook the cart enough to make them start sliding and those 2 hit the ground before I could stop.

Sorry to hear about them Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk It's not a big deal to me honestly. I did get a heck of a deal from a dealer friend before they started the 50% off for veterans on the Gen 1's. But at the end of the day, I am going to be slamming them into the ground as hard as possible (not chopping wood style, just meant hitting them). Only club that I worry with the topline or anything else on is the putter(s) and the driver. At the end of the day, They're still just Golf clubs.

forzabucks Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Those are gorgeous, did you try out other clubs before deciding on the PXG or just hop right down that path? I tried a few through demos but not a proper fitting, so it's not a true apples to apples comparison. My brother had a great experience with PXG's so I decided to just go down that road. Very happy I did, though I'm sure getting a fitting and other clubs would have helped immensely as well. No buyers remorse here.
