Do you qualify for their "Heroes" discount for military, veterans, first responders? Some older products are only available to those in that category. For example, for the "general public" I believe the 0811x proto drivers no longer are available but I could order one again today. It may be the same situation with the Gen 2 irons.
Gen 2 XF, P and T irons are available to anyone on the website. $89/ea

no I don't qualify for any of those.
Once they go to picked/build they’re shipped in a day, two tops.
They run periodic specials general public off and on - worth a call to them.
Look forward to hearing how you like them.Irons shipped. Should be here tues.
I upgraded to the KBS 55 gram graphite shaft and really like them.Couple of things. The 0211DC irons are stronger lofted like most irons these days compared to irons from 10 years ago. If she can elevate the ball pretty well this shouldn't be an issue, but something to consider. My guess is the MMT shaft will also launch a little lower than the stock RBZ graphite shafts. At least from my testing of the MMT in the 70g R variant it launched lower than most 95-100g steel shafts I normally game.
Stock RBZ 7i is 30.5* and a 37" length. Stock 0211dc 7i is 28* and 37.5" (both mens specs). Often times Ladies clubs will be an inch shorter. But nonetheless the PXG's will be stronger lofted and likely a little longer shaft.
Her RBZ irons are also going to be a little bit larger in terms of club head size. The 0211dc's are a progressive set. So slightly longer blade lengths in the longer irons and slightly shorter blade lengths in the mid irons and wedges. If you are familiar with Ping irons, the longer irons will be more like a G series Ping irons, the scoring irons and wedges will be more Ping i series irons size wise. So depending on her comfort level going to a smaller iron could be a good or bad thing.
Finally, yes, within 30 days of receiving the irons you can return them. They do hit you with the 15% restocking fee as you pointed out. And another thing to consider is you have to pay for shipping both ways. Shipping to you for a set of irons is $60 (they use Fedex) which is not refunded if you return them. Also for a set of irons depending on where you live is going to cost probably $17-$35 to ship back to PXG using USPS. So the hit is actually more than 15%. I know I have returned 2 sets of PXG irons in the past year.
But have a 3rd set coming next week
Do the KBS shafts have a high trajectory?
I would say yes and that is what I wanted due to strong lofts on the 0211. In play the trajectory is high, similar to my previous Ping G710 gamers.
Interesting. I had both sets with similar weight shafts and never noticed any differences in weight. I’ve had 4 sets of PXG irons now and all swing weight around a D1-D2.
I had a chance to play 9 holes with them. I didn't get to hit them all too often as many holes on this course are like, driver, hybrid, or driver wedge.
proceeded to hit it great or the same with her Epic Max 3 wood. First time out last night and she hit them well and really likes them. The online fitter suggested these for her after we talked and he said not only are they great irons but they are exceptionally forgiving. I love my Apex 21 irons and the feel of them. The PXG's are also forged. The site has no separate category for women's clubs and the heads are the exact same for men and women the only change is a ladies mmt 50 gram shaft. I took a swing on a 150 yard par 3 with an 8 iron and swung easy because of the shaft and these irons definitely have a great feel off the face. Glad I got them for her and she really likes them. Like everyone here I love looking at clubs and researching them and it was fun picking them out. My experience with PXG was great.
