That’s awesome! With PXG offering everything in lefty variants, the customer service you’ve experienced, and their headquarters being a 15 minute drive from my house, they may have become a serious contender next time I’m looking to upgrade clubs.

I've mentioned this before, but I really appreciate how PXG always keeps left-handed golfers in mind. When I upgrade my irons next year, PXG will definitely be my choice.

Their recent advertising has been a big push to lefties and women. A brilliant strategy of PXGs part. I had ESPN on earlier today and saw several advertisements for PXG. They're really pushing these Gen7s.

For good reason in my opinion. So far they are really impressive.

I played my first round with the new PXG Gen 7’s with the MMT 105’s and the Sugar Daddy III wedges. I shot 2 under par! Hit 13 greens and had 4 near greens in regulation. Only one time was I well off. Actually tried to force a shot from deep rough with a 6 iron where I normally would have hit a choke down 5 hybrid. I came up 15 yards short and in the deep rough. Pitched it to 4 feet and missed the putt. So, feedback on the clubs and shafts. Full disclaimer. I tweaked my back again on the opening drive. Played the round in pain and basically walking slowly on my right side all round. However, the PXG 7’s are extremely forgiving. The MMT 105 shafts were nice. So, playing with a hurt back I won’t be able to fully judge the distance comparison to my Titleist. Other than to say I hit the PXG’s the exact same distance. That tells me when healthy these clubs/shaft combo should be longer.  The huge difference was in dispersion. Many of my swings were not my best and they still flew the distance and I hit the green. I tend to over cook shots at times and those swings with this combo were just a high draw that was acceptable. Also the Gen 7’s were extremely forgiving. Since I hurt my back again and I am going on vacation next week, I am shutting it down till I get back. I hope to come back rested and healthy to give more detailed feedback. However, first impressions are this is an awesome club head and shaft combo for me!

awesome looking clubs and a great first outing, congrats

hope the back and injuryies aren't too bad. safe travels on the trip

Long read ahead...

1pm - met at Cimmaron Hill CC with my fitter Gavin to check loft/lie.  I was coming in steeper than I have been but was still making pretty good contact after adjusting my setup distance to the ball.  Was hitting my 170yd 70-80ft in height and he was liking what he saw for the most part. Mentioned possibly taking out the 1 degree flat and back to standard to get that toe miss off the table. He will be gone for a few weeks but said to play and we would check back when he returned. 

I can't tell you how great the customer service and communication has been from the entire company. 

Now to the course and round this afternoon.  Shot a 75 but the score doesn't tell you how well the irons were doing today. Only 1 birdie on the card but missed 4 from 6ish foot.  These irons were shooting Darts!  

very nice on the darts

even better on the great fitter experience 

really happy to hear that it's been lots of positive experiences with PXG for other folks as well.

This weekend is a birthday weekend in my house with plenty of rain forecasted so it looks like any golf will be during naps and in the rain. Should be interesting.

[Josh Parker]

I have rounds scheduled for today and tomorrow afternoon and I'm looking forward to seeing how the irons perform.  I also got my Mevo+ stand and can now get down to the range and have it level every time without any issues.  What data are people interested in seeing?  I already plan on using 3 clubs from the PXG and the Srixons to show the difference in numbers.

@Josh Parker...I’m interested in ball speed, carry distance, and dispersion data if it´s not too much trouble.  Thanks!

Club speed, ball speed, smash, spin, carry, and aoa if possible.

Another two rounds played this weekend with the Gen 7's and I think the Srixons are on the way out.  I have doubled my height and kept the same distance with these clubs. 

I was getting a little quick today and had a few pulled shots, but overall I have seen better shot shape and stopping power. Looking forward to getting some hard data this week.

It sounds like you're achieving the results you were hoping for with the PXG irons. If I remember correctly, you were looking for a higher ball flight. You must be pleased with how it's turning out.

I really am. Being able to hit the ball high, having the stopping power, and not losing distance has been awesome. My playing partners have noticed the changes as well.

Are you also seeing better dispersion even on the misses?

Yes, with the caveat of me not pulling it. My shot shape has been a slight fade and I don't hook the ball.

I only was able to play the one round with the PXG Gen 7’s so far. In that round, I didn’t have my best stuff and my back was bothering me. Still managed a 2 under round. I hit 13 greens. Only 1 of the missed greens was way off target. That was because I tried to forced a 6 iron from deep rough from 180 out into the wind. I would have normally hit a choke down 5 hybrid from that lie. The rest of the time the ball flew great even on misses. I was hitting nice high tight draws. I was really surprised. Can’t wait to return from vacation and play some more with these irons.

Today I was pleasantly surprised by only a 15 percent chance of rain down from the 80 percent chance that was originally forecasted. I hoped in the truck and went as fast as I could to the golf course to only get to the exit off the interstate and ALL 15 percent of that chance was falling on the golf course. So I decided to hit the local driving range. 
I had a really good session with all but my 6 iron. I think I was tired from just pounding balls by that time. I was stopped by a man that noticed my Maxfli hat and asked about the Maxfli tour balls as he had meant just yesterday to stop and pick up a dozen to try out. I just so happened to have 9 Maxfli tour x balls in my bag and told him to take the last 2 sleeves to try out. During the exchange I found out he is a fellow reader of MGS and I shared that I was currently a part of this test.   
He even gave the Gap wedge a try and was very impressed himself with the feel and control as he hit 4 out of 4 greens from about 80-100 yards out. I didn’t get the man’s name but told him to hop on and give us a shout so we will see.

That’s what I thought lol I had a really nice talk and glad to see MGS people in my area as most people I talk to look at me crazy when I ask them if they’ve heard of MGS.

I’m also seeing some more height which was one thing that I was really looking to gain with this test. It’s really satisfying to see!

Yes, I tell all the golf nuts here about MGS. Not sure if they are signing up or not. However, I do mention it whenever I can.

I manage to squeeze it in almost every conversation I have with someone new I meet in a golf setting. I’m pushing MGS like we have referral bonuses or something here lol

In that round I played I was seeing a higher ball flight. I didn’t need more height, but it is still very penetrating. That’s what really amazed me the most. The extra height wasn’t ballooning it was still a penetrating flight.
