Maltenator Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Current 2019 WITB. I just swapped over to all new everything to reinvent my game, and so far it's helping. I've dropped 6 strokes off my typical score and went down from 13 to a 10 on my handicap. All by getting fitted again after 6 years, and getting new gear. So without further ado...

bens197 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 How do you like that PXG setup? Looks like you took advantage of the heroes promo which is a ridiculous deal; I am so tempted to pursue it.

Maltenator Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) So as you all may know the irons are cast, and a progressive set so the 3 4 5 6 7 irons are all bigger and more forgiving, and everything else down is a players iron which drew my attention. I will say I have been playing forged Mizuno JPX 800 Pro's the last 6+ years, and have hit many different forged irons. These are smoother and better feeling than any forged iron I have EVER hit, excluding the PXG 0311's. The best word to describe these is "BUTTER". These have the same face insert as the 0311's. I did take advantage of the Heroes program being a vet, and got my irons for just over $1k. I looked at other brands, and would have spent way more on them than I did with these, and I got a free driver. I kept my Scotty and didn't upgrade that, but the M6's cost me $945 for the 3 wood, 3 and 4 hybrids, after my 15% off TM because of upcharges to my shafts. I would recommend pursuing the deal if you can before they stop the promotion. It was the best fitting experience I ever had, and they are completely 100% free. They sent a guy from 2 hours away, and was absolutely meticulous with me. I didn't pursue the 3 wood or hybrids, because I wasn't getting the numbers I wanted out of them, and he was okay with that and didn't even pressure me. He told me just find one I like and get the Tensei Orange shaft and I'll be good. Let's say he didn't lie, being I hit my 3 wood 260 off the deck to 2 feet of a pin this past Saturday on a 569 yard par 5. MaxEntropy a lot of people think their irons are out of their price range, but after upgrades of other irons they're comparable. If you don't qualify for the Heroes Program they're $195. Hell Titleist new irons, as well as TM 760 790, Callaway Apex, Mizuno are all the same price.

Maltenator Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Good luck keep me posted.

I’m being honest with my swing and where my game is headed. I’ve always played blades and it’s time to evolve so I can reduce some errors on the course. If it’s not now or these aren’t for me it’ll likely be pushed off til next season.

It never hurts to try something new, and if it works it works, if not you keep on trucking until you find something that you do.I will say a couple more things about the clubs. They have workability not near as much as a blade, but they are workable for what an amateur would need. The blades are longer than other clubs on the 0211's and when Bob said they have a sweet spot the size of Texas he wasn't lying. Even mishits towards the toe and heel are in the outer part of the sweet spot. I'm glad I haven't seen a ton of PXG bashing like everywhere else on the internet I.E.

So my first thought after hitting the 0211’s were that Parsons’ claim is accurate; these things have a sweet spot the size of Texas. This is a well thought out set of clubs that has a really nice progression from long irons to short. I’m glad I did hit them and to be honest, I really lingered on ordering a set. At the end of the day I was going to sell the driver and play the irons, a move that is dirty and disrespects the purpose of this promotion. You’ve got a great bag. Have fun playing and hopefully playing well.

Definitely didn’t take it that way The truth is that there was no way in hell that this driver would kick my G400 out of my bag. There’s no shortage of Gen1’s on the bay right now. That means one of two things: it’s either a giant coincidence or there are folks who are subsidizing the cost of their new irons.

I think a lot of people are getting them for free trying them, finding out that it's not for them, or didn't know they could get fitted for free, and choose a stock shaft option, that isn't for them. Don't like it and sell it. I was fitted for mine, and before I ordered I took the same shaft (MC CK Tensei Orange S Flex) and tried several other major club brands matched with it M6, Epic Flash, G410, M5, TS2, 3, and found that the PXG produced about the same numbers for me, although a couple others were slightly longer no more than 10 yards, none of them were as forgiving, and as straight as this for me. The pictures are of my very first hit on a launch monitor with only a couple practice swings nowhere near warmed up after I got my PXG and took it to compare if I made the right decision, which I did The carry went from 261 to 288 and overall from 288 to 301 once I was fully warmed up and club head speed went from 106 to 109-110 ball speed is where I saw a big gain 154 to 162 on average. These numbers are all on par with a typical club head speed of 110. I have never been able to hit a controlled draw with a driver in my life until this hit my bag, I'd always duck hook or slice the ball from leaving the club face open at impact. I know not every club it right for every person, but I'd be damned if this wasn't right for me lol. bens197 1 Quote C130 USA bag Driver - 0811XF - Tensei Ck Orange - 65 G Stiff 3 Wood - M6 - Tensei CK Orange - 65 G Stiff 19* & 22* Hybrids - M6 - Tensei CK Orange - 82 G Stiff Irons & Wedges- 0211 5-PW, GW, SW, LW 45*. 50*, 54*, 60* - True Temper Elevate Tour 117 G Stiff All wrapped in Standard Gray/Red Dri-Tacs Putter - - Mustang - 33" - 5.0 FATSO Ball - TP5 Tracked with V2 I'm a righty from Mechanicsville, VA (Richmond Area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
