Ridiculous. So consistent. Same exact shaft too, PX LZ 6.5. Wow. You only tried the Gen1? Why not the 2s?

Now, there is a reason behind the fitter going flatter, and that was to help takeaway my “hook” miss. So, with that in-mind, it does make some sense. I don’t have an upright swing, either, but who knows. We’ll see what this guy comes-up with. I do want to mitigate my miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro No, height isn't the only factor in determining lie, but it does play some role. I see where your fitter is coming from, I'd just be concerned that it would turn into a bad slice. 1 Quote Wilson Staff C300 9.0* Fujikura Pro 58 stiff Callaway Rogue 3W Mitsubishi Diamana D+ LTD 80 stiff Mizuno MP-18 MMC FLI-HI 2 iron UST Mamiya Recoil 95 stiff Ping I200's 4-W Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW stiff Ping Glide 52* and 58* stiff Bettinardi Studio Stock #38 Armlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been 2* up, to std, depending on lie angles. He said I could go 1* flat, but to start at 2 and then bend them if need be. I definitely agree with why he’s doing it, to keep away from my big miss, and I hit the balls well, but I’ll still confirm it Wednesday.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Driver: Honma TR 460 8.5*, Aldila RIP Alpha 80 S, 45 1/4"; Ping G425 LST, Fujikura Speeder TR 661 S, 45 1/2" hybrids: Cobra King Tec 17* and 21*, both with Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105 X Irons: Srixon ZX5 4-6, ZX7 7-PW, UST Mamiya Recoil F4, +1” Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I should start testing irons next week; I think I have a couple more putter sessions. Looks like PXG sent multiple shaft options so I should be able to find a shaft that works for me. They were the Gen2s so they would be an expensive buy as you indicated. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glftips Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The Heroes discount is significant. A $500.00 putter is 150 for vets. The price of the irons is very competitive with other OEM's with the discount. Nice thing Bob Parsons does for us. 3 Quote Titleist TS 3 with Fuji Ventus R shaft Epic Flash 3 & 5 woods Cally Big Berta 2019 4 hybrid Cally Apex 2019 5-PW Cally 48* Honma TW4 56* Titleist Volker Raw wedge 60* Scotty Cameron X5 putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Today was my first day of game improvement iron testing and PW was the iron. The PXG XF was in the mix and the results were not the best for me. Pretty sure the shaft was the Modus Pro which generally works for me and was in one of the irons that outperformed the PXGs. Looking at the average numbers the ball speed was a bit slower than the others, spin was mid range, and carry /totoal distance were right in line with the others. That was averages and the PXG had the widest deviation across all shots. Generally I would describe it as clunking when compared to the others in today's testing, holding out hope that performance of the players type club will be better for me. Will probably be a few more sessions before I get to the 5 and 7 irons. 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
