PXG Black Ops Irons - 2024 Forum Review


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the feedback @Golfspy_CG2. You brought up some great points and I agree, I should have considered the call as part of the re-evaluation. I'm going to work some of your points into my main post and update my review post. I think I also need to work in some more context about myself as I update it. I was incredibly uncomfortable throughout the fitting. I was hitting well and felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to perform. My heart rate hit 129 and I was probably averaging in the 120s throughout my fitting. That's equivalent to me running 2 miles at a 12 minute pace. The sweating from the heat in the bay, the uncomfortable feeling, and general pressure I put on myself probably altered how I felt the overall fitting went.

Don't quote me on this @Golfspy_CG2 but I think the fitters got a commission off of us.. The thing that makes me think that is he took down all my info when placing the order for the clubs, my first responders discount and everything and it just seemed like a legit order was talking place on his end, but to be honest, my fitter was cheerful and helpful the whole time so who knows🤷

Today is the day, folks. We are on the FedEx truck for delivery....Unfortunately, I am leaving for a business trip today and won't be able to do the opening until Wednesday at the earliest.

Brutal.

I once bought a club and it arrived an hour after my in-laws.  I didn't open it for 3 days.  I died a little inside each night it went unopened...

yeah that's rough ...I can understand not opening it right away, but once everybody was in bed, how did you not go straight to it?

PXG stuff has shipped really quickly. I did a fitting this past fall and submitted my order right before Christmas. I was traveling for about 10 days and thought if I did this, it will take a couple days just to "receive" the order b/c the holiday and then the whole build process and shipping around the holidays, I should easily be home before the clubs arrive...

NOPE...

5 days later the clubs were leaving Arizona and I had to figure out how to get FedEx to hold the package or get a neighbor to help ..... was a stressful few days, but everything worked out in the end though

Love some good Breakfast Tacos and Biscuits

I like the selections and those KBS graphites look good with the club heads.

Still waiting on a PXG email.. The wait kills me.. Hoping the xcor2's didn't call and cancel the order after I went to sleep last night

Tell me about it! I’m so jealous I can’t stand it!

I have a cobra rad speed driver, cobra fly z 3 and 5 wood, taylormade m1 irons (5-PW), Top Flite Gamer wedges (52,56,60), and odyssey white ice putter. When I’m playing to keep score I typically play the Maxfli Tour X. When just getting a round in with friends or scrambling I play whatever I might find on the course or might find at the bottom of my bag.

I'm not to jealous.. My 6i and 7i started acting right.. Was just hitting 180s bombs with the 6i.. She never did that in the past, which my fitter changed my swinging technique up and out helped a lot!

So you’re telling me we get a free lesson too?! lol I’m too excited to get fit for these clubs next week!

He could tell I was a little nervous and self taught.. He went above and beyond to help me and my game.. I'm always willing to listen to someone and it truly helped

PXG was incredibly fast. They told me 5 to 7 business days. I received it in 3 days!

I game the 0211 and went to hit them and the gen 7s side by side with my 0211s. 

I almost sprang for the 7s but the cost was higher than I'm willing to spend. 

The black ops vs the 0211 xcor2s felt almost identical to me hitting junk range balls. I was getting 5 to 6 more yards with the BO and even the fotter remarked how it's a super hot face. He's got a cleaner swing than mine and was hitting the 7 iron 215. 

I should be golfing instead of talking smack on the web.

For anyone following, y'all might have noticed I haven't gotten my email saying clubs are built and shipped yet.. My fitter called my today to let me know they don't have the shaft we agreed on in +2 1/2" length.. He recommended the Nippon 105g shaft (I think, I had just woken up lol) and after a brief discussion, he had me convinced..I trust his judgement and I know he knows what he's doing! Hopefully I get that email soon!
