Popular Post Syks7 Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 @GolfSpy SAM had a fitting a couple weeks ago that I was nearby for and the fitter was nice enough to look at my 7 iron and put a 0317 ST in my hand to try out. A muscle back type blade should not be in my wheelhouse and yet I hit it very well. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since, so I decided to schedule a fitting with the same fitter. I mostly wanted to see whether or not I was just having an above average striking day when I first hit them or if I might actually be able to play them. I also wanted to hit more of the irons in the line. We worked through the 0317 line and played around with the 0311 P through a variety of shafts but in the end it came down to 0317 ST and 0317T wearing the Modus 105. For whatever reason that shaft and those iron heads just worked for me -- particularly on the turf interaction front. The shape of the leading edge just works with my attack angle and even on heavier contact just knifes through the turf. Both were shockingly forgiving to me in terms of making solid contact. Solid dispersion on both as well. In the end I opted for the 0317T as it produced the most consistent results for the kind of golfer who uses more of the face (yours truly). The most interesting part of this fitting was that I would not (and have not) put myself in something that compact. I just don't think of myself as that kind of a ball striker. Something that seemed to have been proven with in my experiments with 639 CBs and MP60s. Loved the turf interaction, couldn't hit them consistently enough to play them well. Conversely, I've not been a fan of the turf interaction with my Z585s, but have hit them well enough to get to a low index of 10.8. The 0317T seems to be a sweet spot in between. I only know that because I did the fitting on grass. If I was in a studio I might have thought the 0311P worked best (best distance & best efficiency) even though on grass it had by far the worst turf interaction for me. Same thing for the 0317 CB, I just didn't get through the grass with it like I did the others. Go figure. We were relatively early in completing the irons so we played around with Driver (including handily enough my own PXG 0811XT). After a couple not so bad swings with my gamer on a Tensei AV raw blue he put me in two shafts I never would have thought fit my swing. Tensei CK White & Ventus black. (Good thing they're cheap ) At least versions of the white is out there used for reasonable prices. Stiffer profile in the mid and tip for both and instantly more stable to me. Ventus was better, but I know I can scrounge up some version of the Tensei white somewhere. Both were also better on the gen 6 Tour driver, but fortunately they were still more than serviceable on my gen 4 0811XT. I never would have tried them if I hadn't gone today. It made me realize that as much as I've learned about equipment and fitting over the last couple years I still know nothing. Now.... all I have to do is figure out how to pull together enough cash to get the irons. I'll scrounge up a Tensei white somewere. BTW, today only reinforced my desire to spend my eventual retirement as a fitter and builder. The nerd in me wants to know everything I can about equipment. fixyurdivot, Rob Person, Cfhandyman and 7 others 9 1 Quote Driver 0311 Gen 5 -- Tensei CK Orange 60 Woods 0341 3W -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Hybrids 0317X 2&4 -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Irons ZX7 4/AW -- C-Taper Lite 110 Wedges T7 55º @55/7 -- TT DG Spinner Putter DF2.1 or Link.1 -- Accra Ball Zstar Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy SAM Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'll echo a lot of what @Syks7 said here - getting fit on grass is now an absolute must for me. The CB in the PXG lineup was an absolute delight to hit - I had a SLIGHTLY wider dispersion with it than with the ST, but my strike pattern with the CB were all in the exact same place. Something about that iron I just REALLY got a long with. But without seeing how it got through the turf, even when my attack angle is too steep, was really something eye opening for me. In much the same way, I never (ever) would have thought I would get along well with a blade-ish type iron (I appreciated that the PXGs were hardly 'butter knives' at address - definitely on the small side, but not so much that I was terrified of hitting them. Love that you ended up in a shaft that you loved for the driver - especially if it's something you can find on the used market. Also, and I think we talked about this that day, but theoretically the Gen 7 irons (whatever they're going to be called) are coming sometime this year, so you may find a killer deal on the T's once that happens.

My wife and I slowly migrating even further west in the San Fernando Valley... from Van Nuys (still LA) to Woodland Hills (still LA) next. It's not a stretch to see us moving out toward Ventura eventually. Lots of great courses out that way and plenty of opportunities to do some side hustle fitting and building clubs. Definitely try it out. I was one of those people who didn't like the PXG commercials and had a pre-judgement of the clubs before even hitting them. I humbly admit that I was very wrong. I don't think I've disliked a single one of their products since I picked up the OG 0211 driver.

Syks7 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Having a very hard time getting the 0317T's out of my head... I think I'm going to pull the trigger. That said, I'm going to have to do a bit of funding work first. Garage cleanup/old club sale coming soon. On another note I'm starting to get very curious about bounce and turf interaction -- less about the amount of bounce and more about the location of the bounce on the sole. I've been following a semi-local club-fitter/small manufacturer up in Ventura (https://www.foreward.golf/) https://www.instagram.com/matched_up_golf/ He talks a lot about this in his instagram feed along with some other factors in the fitting system he developed. It's a pretty interesting listen. I noticed that 0317T are higher bounce (5º @3I & 14º@PW) than a lot of irons with the location of the bounce toward the rear of the sole -- a construction shared with the wedges I'm gaming (RTX Zipcore). Out of curiosity I pulled out some older wedges I have and found that all the ones I got along with best (hit reasonably well most days and in most conditions) are the ones that share this construction -- rear bias and higher bounce. The ones I remember being inconsistent with (big variation between good striking days and bad striking days) are all still mid-high bounce but with the bounce biased towards the center or leading edge of the sole. This includes my current irons along with the 639 CB's and MP60's I've cycled through over the last couple years -- wish I could find a good picture of the sole of the RSI2's because I loved those. I'm curious if the higher bounce and rear location compensates for my heavy contact miss by keeping the leading edge (and sole) up just enough that I get a better turf interaction that doesn't kill the clubhead speed & ball speed. Obviously this is just one factor, but I'm wondering if it's overlooked by the vast majority of us.

Improper diagnosis of their swings, base in decisions on marketing terms like forgiveness, game improvement, designed for X handicap type, etc. VCOG plays a big role, weight, balance between shaft and head, feel and how that translates to delivery and the launch characterizes that come from that delivery outweigh the perceptions of a persons ball striking or I’m an X handicap I should be in Y for of club. Or I swing at a certain sled so I need a club or shaft marketed to that speed this leads to poor choices in club and shaft selection.

I had always assumed I needed more of a V-Sole, wider sole and...to be fair...those worked fine. But I got into this TS1-IM which had a narrower sole and my first thought was that it wasn't going to get through the turf. But it does, beautifully I might add. So score another one for "don't just blindly follow the common logic/marketing" and test stuff yourself.

Thoughts from fitters? @McGolf If you are a digger of sorts with the irons a high bounce number is a great start. That means the leading edge will not turn into a shovel directly as you interact with the turf. the rearward "bump" in the sole acts like a ski to prevent divot the size of Rhode island or breaking your wrists at impact with the turf. a possibility for the disposition to the rearward sole design in that your swing is not a severe version of chopping wood and more towards a golf swing.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I was turned off at first at PXG price until I learned about Bob Parsons. He said he spent $100,000 as a lifelong golfer on equipment, thus decided to start his own company. He hired away talent from the big name brands. Then when they came out with lower priced gear I got fit for a good driver. Outdoors for me, I never feel comfortable swinging all out while indoors, except for wedges.
