I’m in the market of getting some new clubs. A new driver and MAYBE some new irons. I was exploring the PXG 0811XF as I wouldn’t mind something that’s forgiving. Taking greater consistency in exchange for some distance. I’ve heard the gen 1 was extremely draw biased but haven’t heard much about the gen2.

Also, looking for some personal reviews on their irons.

I should also say that I am in the military. So the gen2 0811XF or X would only be $225. Seems like a good price for what I’ve heard about PXG.

For comparison, I currently hit the Adams Speedline fast 12 driver for the last 7ish years.

And Taylormade burner 2.0 irons.

I have the 0211s, last years version. I got them when they went on sale for $95 an iron. I have probably 20-30 rounds on them now. I know they aren’t as good as their 0311s, but I like these a lot. I hit them more consistently and my misses aren’t near as bad as my old mizunos which were the JPX EZs. Which means I went from a way more forgiving club in the JPX EZs to the 0211s and I hit them better. I have better ball flight as well... that may have more to do with the shaft though.

I have a couple of buddies that play one of the 0311 versions and they seem to like them. Their drivers seem to get good reviews on golfspy, but I have zero experience with that line.

I also think it doesn’t hurt that you aren’t buying off the shelf and you are getting a built to order club. That may be just me though... saying that, there are some really good irons out there right now. The Srixon and mizuno lines are both very good.

I have the Gen 1 0311 irons and I absolutely love them. They are a club longer than my Mizuno JPX 900 Tours and ridiculously more forgiving. I got them barely used second hand and only paid $650 for the set. I want to bring them to Buddha to check my loft and lie, but the heads are undoubtedly terrific.

Ugliest $3k set of golfs club you could buy.

What’s up with all the black dots on the back? Looks like Pings retarded stepbrother.


Look at Miura. Cost about the same. Won’t make you throw up when you look at them.

I’d go P’s they are forgiving enough, XP and above look huge and the P are borderline yet feel great. I am still hitting my black Gen2 0311P and haven’t thought of changing in awhile which is unusual for me.

I’ve hit the driver a few times and wasn’t really impressed. I know people like them, but it just wasn’t for me.

I have the 0211s.

I bought them in steel shaft.

I like them.

I’m a 10.5 index today, I’ve played as low as 7.5 index this year.

The clubs feel great, and at $89 per iron I thought they were a good value.

I mostly bought them because my M2 graphite shaft irons got “bag rash” pretty bad so I went looking for steel.

went with my buddy a couple of months ago to the PXG in Northbrook, IL. he wanted a set so he got fitted for a whole bag. Paid just north of $5k when all was said and done. fricker was stripping the clubs. but $5k, I just can't see spending that much. Shop around, take your time and get whatever makes you feel comfortable over the ball.

Pxg clubs are simply
Not worth the money.
You can find a callaway or Taylormade head that preforms just as well for half the price.

Also considering mizuno JPX900 hit metal irons if anyone has some ideas on how they compare. My brother also mentioned the Callaway Mavriks if I’m looking to add some distance

If you are hitting burner 2.0 irons don't get a damn blade irons for gods sake.

I’m sorry. Burner plus. Not 2.0. I’ve been on a 24 hour shift. Mentally drained lol.

I was recently fit for a whole bag and ended up with the PXG 0811 X GEN 2. I give it 4/5 stars. I hit it far, but the sound throws me off. It sounds like a composite baseball bat. Liked my TM sound a lot more.
