must be the shafts
Looks like my replacements are about to ship, might have to start another thread for the 0311T's, they will probably arrive the same day as the skin cancer surgery so maybe a couple of days before I can hit them.

I’m still playing the Gen 1 0311T’s and they are still one of my favorite clubs. I just haven’t upgraded because I can’t justify the price. Though I do really like the look of the new 0211 FB’s.Looks like my replacements are about to ship, might have to start another thread for the 0311T's, they will probably arrive the same day as the skin cancer surgery so maybe a couple of days before I can hit them.
Looks like PXG has substituted the Accra iSeries in place of the MMT shafts. Both have the mesh tip, never played Accra shafts but I love the MMT. Don't know if it's and equal trade or not.Don't know if this has been mentioned yet in the thread but Accra iSeries graphite shafts are now available as a no-cost upgrade for PXG irons including the $89 per club 0211's.
Hope this helps.
Went through a lot to get to hit a 0211 7 iron to see if I liked it. I did not. Glad I did not purchase them. Went with the Ping 410's instead
On trackman I was hitting the 410 straight as an arrow about 135 yards. No mishits. The 211's I hit 140 yards when I hit it solid, but too many 'gumfs" and bad shots, so I would say forgiveness. Because I am a vet, the 211's would of been cheaper, but had to go with worked best for my game.@lanoxrehab
Best of luck with the 410's. In my opinion a mid cap player can never go wrong with the Ping G series irons. They're great irons. Forgiving enough for a 12-20 cap, and versatile enough to be played by a single digit player. They can take you to whatever level you want to get to, and are good enough to stay in the bag when you get there.
I'm curious though... what did you base your decision on?
Was it forgiveness, distance, feel... or maybe the look? I'm asking because I tested both, and would have been happy with either one. I went with the 0211's because
A They were about $300 cheaper
B The MMT shaft at no upgrade
C Progressive set
D I felt like I was getting a touch more performance in a more attractive package (granted, looks are subjective)
E There was no comparison in feel. The 0211's won that hands down. They felt at least as good as my Apex 16's.
BTW I love your WITB set up. Very well thought out...
As of today, the MMT shafts are back. I spoke to them today, because yesterday the only graphite options on the site were Aerotech and something else. Both were $40 upgrades.Looks like PXG has substituted the Accra iSeries in place of the MMT shafts. Both have the mesh tip, never played Accra shafts but I love the MMT.

howdy guys, was looking for some input from those that have played the 0211's. I'll shoot 98-105 on a good day and 112 on not so good day (never calculated my actual handicap but would say about 17-18?). I live in Alaska so i golf in chunks (during the summer, than have to wait till i start flying around in winter). im about to head down to Phoenix for my usual winter trip and seriously looking at getting a set of the 0211's. how have you mid-hi handicaps like them? below is a list of some hit points on me and why im looking at new clubs.
-Current irons are Nike Vapor Speeds
-Have no issue with getting the ball up in the air, but dont have the greatest range (that dosent bother me to much since i have always played with about the same amount of club ranges and im use to it)
-Knowing i will probably not consistently break 100 until i move down to AZ, but i would like to move into an iron that can truly grow with me.
-MOST OF ALL, Hate the look of GI or cavity back irons with all the colors, plastics, and molding...really love the look of clean simple players forged irons, but obviously im not good enough for that style club)
other option was a set of Hogans, the Edges?
thanks for the feed back, i did just go back to their website and the Gen 2 XF i think those are exactly what i was looking for! didn't look at them before because i thought all the 0311 series was more player oriented. I have had a few lessons in the past and actually lose most of my strokes on the tee or not taking my time putting (im a lefty and have a wicked left slice im still trying to figure out with my driver so i usually pull my 3W on the box). For Irons im actually pretty happy with my game for how much i get to play, and can usually place the shot in the ball park of where i want. As for the longer iron, no matter what set i get my 4 and 5 will become hybrids.I play to around an 8-11 cap depending on my game. Usually shoot 77-83 from the white tees. I briefly had a set of 0211’s. I hit them well but for me it’s all about ease of use and confidence. The 6 and 7 irons got a little small looking to my eye
For that reason I prefer Super game improvement irons. If you like the PXG style at your skill level I’d look at the 0311 Gen 2 XF or SGI’s. Both clean looking and Substantially easier clubs to get around the course with.
I had the SGI’s and really liked them. Got rid of them and have a little bit of sellers remorse.
not to soap box here but at your scoring level you’d be better served buying a lesson package.
When I was shooting around 92-95 I did a 3 lesson package and finally got down to mid to low 80’s. It took a while but with practice and some instruction one can improve.
I have the Gen2 XFs and they are the best irons I’ve ever hit. A full club further than I hit the Gen1’s with a great feel and sound. I love them.
awesome to hear bud, what your usual score and what clubs did you have before?
thansk!
so thats awesome to hear that you came from regular cavity backs and have a similar handicap as what mine might be. I just scheduled a swing appointment at the PXG office in Scottsdale. Hopefully those XF's hit good for me because they have everything else going that i want!Prior to my PXGs I gamed several iteration of cavity back Callaway irons. I also did a season with the Cobra One Length F9’s which were great, but I never hit them as well as the PXG irons. I’m an 18 handicap so the distance and forgiveness I get with the XFs is really helpful.
I can’t compare the Gen2 0311 irons to the 0211s since I’ve never swung them. PXG put out some stats that seemed to indicate the performance was pretty close but couldn’t vouch for that myself.
Would you say the XF's are about the size of a ping G series type iron (so say G400/410, etc)?I have the Gen2 XFs and they are the best irons I’ve ever hit. A full club further than I hit the Gen1’s with a great feel and sound. I love them.
