Yes. I think they are 2 degrees weaker

Makes sense.
You thinking about taking them that strong or splitting the difference?
How is the sound/feel?

Played another 9 holes with these tonight. I was going to go with an all iron bag, but ended up throwing my driver and 4-hybrid in as well. The hybrid did me well, but the driver only helped me on one hole. I removed the driver for my league round tomorrow, just the irons and the 4-hybrid are in the bag.
Anyway, I friggin' love these irons. Every shot I hit went exactly how far I wanted it to go, except a monster 190 yard 7-iron shot out of the rough that worked out very well on a par 5. I was basically point and shoot with these things tonight, I just strayed a little left with my 6-iron on the 9th hole. The photo below was, I think, the best shot of the round with the irons. I was playing a 140 yard shot (130 with 140 slope reading) and hit my 8-iron to there (basically over that tree). If it didn't have a little fade on it I might have had a really nice look for birdie. As it went, I had a 2 putt par.
I was +5 through the first 3 holes (bogey, bogey, triple) and only hit the irons once (well struck shot on hole 1 with my 6-iron). I played the final 6 holes at +3, going par, bogey, double, par, par, par. Which, for me, is unreal. Ask JB, Danny, or hambone1023, I wasn't showing anything like that in Vegas. I'd have a good shot here and there, but lacked any consistency what-so-ever. And the course I played tonight usually eats me alive. I shot a 50 on the same 9 last Saturday. I really hope I can keep this up, because that was the most satisfying 9 holes I've ever played in my life.
TLDR: I'm in love with this PTx/Recoil 110 combo.
Awesome dude. Nice to see you are getting comfortable with the new sticks. I just got mine bent to match my current gamers and have a tourney tomorrow. Also will play Monday i think so i can finally put some work in with these.

I'm not sure what it is about the clubs, but I actually have confidence in my swing with one of them in my hands. That's not something I've ever really had with my previous set.
I hope the clubs work a lot better for you now that they're bent to match your gamers. I was pretty bummed when I saw your earlier post about not liking them.

I would have never thought I'd have such confidence in them so quickly considering they're downright tiny compared to my old G5's, but here we are. I step up to the ball and know I'm hitting it where I want it now, instead of swinging timidly not knowing what's going to happen.You definitely have me chomping at the bit to receive mine. I agree in regards to the confidence factor. I have always felt more comfortable with Hogan irons in play than I do with any other brand of irons.

I'm looking forward to hearing how they work out for you. I'm guessing you're going to love them.
That is my guess as well. Certainly have enjoyed gaming the PTx irons for the past 11.5 months and am looking forward to the little extra forgiveness that I understand the Pro's offer. Beauty and forgivenss are a marriage made in heaven when it comes to golf clubs!
Thanks LLIB. What shafts are on your 765s and PTX Pros you demoed? Encouraged to hear that the PTXs go father than the Srixons - are the lofts the same?
Just swapped in some Project X LZ 6.5's to my set. I was enjoying hitting them with the KBS Tour V's, but somehow it just didn't feel quite right, so decided to switch in a shaft I know and love.
Can't wait to hit them this weekend!
I am about to box up my demo irons and send them back after my 2 week trial. I planned to review them as compared to my original PTx but unfortunately the review would mainly be about my dislike of the stock Lamkin grips. From the very first shot I felt the club twist in my hands during the swing. It has been very hot and humid in Houston lately and my hands have been sweaty. My other clubs with CP2 grips work just fine in these conditions but the Hogan grips are slick. I played 2 rounds with them in the bag and hit a few good shots but the slick grips were in my head and I avoided them unless the yardage was perfect.
I look forward to reading further reviews of these irons and apologize for not being able to contribute.
