Custom fit PXG Gen 6 irons incoming

[arodrig29]

I just pulled the trigger on a set of brand new fit Gen 6 P irons. Until the fitting with PXG, I had only been fit for a driver and putter. What a great experience this was with PXG!! The fitter took his time to answer my abundance of questions. He was quick to admit my driver and putter were pretty much perfect for me and didn’t try to upsell me. 

There was one slight problem. It turns out I was fit into a shaft that was an upcharge. Usually, that wouldn’t be too much of an issue. However, just a few months ago I was “fitted” by the fine folks at GG for a set of Srixon ZX-4 mkii. Truth be told, the ZX-4 is a great iron for the right golfer. Problem is, I am not that golfer. I play a draw which drops spin and keeps peak height rather low. Needless to say, strong lofts and a lot of offset doesn’t suit me very well. But I digress, I was fitted for the Steelfiber 70i shafts, but at an additional $50 a club, and the expense of Srixon irons now worth half the price on the resell market (see above for explanation), I simply couldn’t afford them. The PXG team went above and beyond to put me into the MMT shaft at the same weight, but stepped them a bit firmer. This puts the MMT at a very similar torque value (per PXG fitter). I was also fitted into a (2) degree weaker loft to help with peak height. All in all, it has been a great experience this far. 

I will definitely be following up with pics, Rapsodo data and comments once I get them in hand.

More to come!

Congrats on the new sticks!  Looking forward to seeing the data and how they work out on the course.

Awesome!  Love that they were understanding enough to not insist on the specific shaft upcharges.  Can't wait to hear how they work out!

With the different shafts they ended up fitting you for, did the numbers coincide with the upcharged ones?

[Shrek74]

I always love hearing PXG fitting stories like this. They really seem to have the fitting experience dialed, for pretty much everyone I read, watch, or hear about.

I got for a full bag fitting in May, and I'm really excited. The Gen6 P is what I hope I fit into as well.

In testing they were pretty close, but I did find the MMT to be a bit whippier. I loved the look of the Steelfiber reserve, which is why I went that way.

It truly was a great experience. It was eye opening for because it showed me the data about my swing. It showed that I am not as bad as I thought swing wise. If you choose to make the purchase, make sure to use military discount if accessible to you. It saved more than expected. PXG does an amazing supporting veterans. Another reason why I knew I had to make the purchase and support PXG.

Awesome! I did a Gen6 fitting and they feel great. Their lofts are jacked (IMO) so the Gen6 7 iron is a Titleist T300 6 iron. The performance was the same for me based on the lofts and not the iron #. Can't wait to hear how you hit them.

They were a bit strong which is why I went 2 degrees weaker.

I wish the fitter had a loft and lie adjustment device when I did mine. I would have purchased if the performance continued. I just couldn’t justify the change. (Sad face). I love buying new equipment. I’m shocked I’m still married lol

Yes, my dad is a veteran so that qualifies me to use the Hero's discount. If I go PXG, I will certainly utilize that for sure.

The XP's are very strong, but the P is much more inline with most all other player's distance irons with the 7-iron at 30*.

[USMCSnyper]

Agreed on the P vs XP

Shipping update, after only (4) business days the Gen6 irons have shipped! FedEx should be picking them up today. More info to follow...so excited! 

[jazz15c]

Enjoy! I got fitted mid-February (also for Gen6 P's) and have used mine for 4/5 rounds now, all of which have been in the 70's, with SG approach gaining massively versus my old, non-fitted set (Ping G410's). 

The fitting experience was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and no question no matter how inane/trivial was deemed stupid. 

[arodrig29]

Okay, so the hybrid came in and it’s pretty awesome. I was fit into the Tensei Blue shaft and the 22 degree hybrid takes the place of the 4 iron. As expected it top notch from PXG. They even included a wrench which is something many manufacturers aren’t doing these days. Something I didn’t even know was a thing until today was the magnet on the head cover. You can magnetize it to the cart and it will be waiting for you after you shot. Pretty brilliant if you ask me. 
 

Irons come in tomorrow, box opening will follow as well. I am waiting to get the bag complete before heading to the range with the Rapsodo MLM2 Pro. 

[arodrig29]

Irons are in and boy do they look, amazing! The MMT shaft color way and gen 6 head look so good together. It’s fairly cold today and have a ton of work to get done but I plan on heading to the range tomorrow afternoon with the MLM2 Pro. Everything except for the driver and putter are new so the anticipation is killing me. 
 

more to come…

[arodrig29]

I was finally able to get the new clubs out on course. Have so much to break down. Initially, they feel incredibly different than the Srixons. Not better, but not worse, just…different. The MMT shaft, even though it was stepped to be stiffer still feels dramatically whipper that the steel KBS lite shafts I was playing before. That being said, the MMT feel light years lighter than the KBS. The weaker lofts of the Gen 6 P irons (plus the added 2 degrees weaker I was fit in) make the ball fly incredibly high. Which is helping with holding greens and increasing spin. But, they definitely do not fly any where nearly as far. 
 

being this is my first time out, I am going to reserve any more judgement until I can get used to the timing. 
 

more to come.

Can't believe I missed this thread!

Great looking bag and congrats on the new sticks. Excited to hear more about how they work for you.

Yeah, thanks. One round in the bag so I don’t want to get too in depth but will definitely post more soon. Playing in a tourney with my nephew’s uni golf team on Friday. Will have more updates then.

I have almost a full bag of PXG (benched the putter) and they make great clubs throughout the bag. Fairways and hybrids are very underrated. 

Their fitting process is great. I’ve gone to my fitter 3 times and he’s never pushed an up charge shaft but the 2 most recent times I asked to try them. Went with one for the driver but the irons he said it would be waisting money to upgrade based on the numbers (didn’t get the irons but pxg will always be my first stop because of this fitter)

I have always had great experiences with PXG. Especially since I am in the Hero’s Program.

How does the Rapsodo do at the range? I’m try to decide between it and the Garmin. I’m not going to use whatever I buy as a simulator. Does the Rapsodo have angle of attack?

[BreakfastBall15]

Also noticed you have a 0311 3X wedge in your bag. How do you like it? With the heroes pricing it’s a great bargain and I won’t be getting the sugar daddy’s because of the price

Congratulations! I used to play PXG, still playing the wedges and the putter. Went to New Level this year. Both my kids are playing PXG. I like PXG, but I also like trying new clubs and am not disappointed with New Level.

This thread has almost got me to put my PXG Gen 5 P’s back in the bag……..

[unccross]

Congrats on the new clubs, they look awesome!

I can answer how I like them, I have two and they’re very good.

Love the Gen 5 P’s. Had thought about getting new irons but decided to reshaft them with something that fits my game better

I love the sugar daddy’s that came in the full bag deal but will be replacing them at the end of this season. Considering I can get a full set of DTC or the 3X wedges for or near the price of 1 SG it’s a no brainier to go that route

I am thinking about buying new ones. Mine are two years old and are good, but I have a gap between my pitching wedge and 52. Like a 40 yard gap. I’m thinking of getting a 48 wedge if I don’t buy three new ones. That will fill some of the gap.
