This series is for those that want to dive deep into the world of equipment and data.
Range Days is not just about showing the data and the swings. In this episode Dan and James break down each strike and explain why the performance you are seeing is taking place and what to expect out of the equipment you are testing.
The PXG iron lineup is vast and two we look at two sets that you might be wondering a bit about. We break them down with data and swings to tell you what is happening and why. If you are looking for the most in depth review on the irons, you have come to the right place.
Hoping it makes for some good conversation!
I too found that lie angle interesting. Coming from someone who has never been fit, I’m starting to clearly see the advantages. This gives me a great visual as to how a correct lie angle could help me. Instead of trying to adjust my swing, a simple club adjustment would better fit my current swing.
Absolutely. The whole point is make the game easier
Stay tuned.
Glad you guys are enjoying.
Where are you seeing 149/club on the 0311??
From what I see Gen2 0311s are 149. Gen 3 still show $340.
Yeah. That’s why I was confused/curious, 340 down from 425 is all I’ve ever seen.
Ah, there is the disconnect I think with the earlier comment. We worked with Gen 3 for Range Days
Thank you!
if I find the P’s for 149 a club… Ughhhhh.
Is this a spoiler?
Even then though, the story is in the numbers imo. When side by side with the 211 at the end of the show, I think it shows that the strong lofts are a design necessity.
Honestly, the Gen 3 are much more complete than the 2’s imo. Looking forward to everyone seeing Dan and I’s conversation on the T and P irons next week.
And if the 3’s see an even bigger price drop soon, PXG isn’t in a good place.
Yeah, that would be potentially dangerous hahaha
Play PXG 0211 now and they have the look of the iE1 and the forgiveness of the G25 with much better feel. I only play 5-GW so that may make a difference.
I never thought I would play anything other than Ping long term as I always had short flings with other irons like the P790 but always ended up with a set of Pings in my bag.
0211 have been that good for me as I reshafted mine with Nippon NS Pro 1050GH and set them off 37.75” 5 iron like my old set of G25’s and they have been fantastic.
I was a PXG hater at one time as I thought they just produced over priced equipment. I still would hesitate to pay the premium for the Gen 3 irons but with the price drop of the 0211 I gave them a go with a used set I found from 2nd Swing and have been more impressed with them than any set of irons I have played in years.
Sold my Ping G700’s that had beat out a set of Ping i210’s and then sold the i210’s.
The 0211 are now my only set of irons.
I have been tempted by the G710’s but that is fading with each round I play with the 0211.
0211’s have been so good I even ordered the 0211 SW & LW to see if they can beat my Ping Glide 2.0 Stealth 54 & 58 but just got them reshafted yesterday so just backyard chipping so far. Hope to play them this weekend.
PXG 0211’s are a great set of irons and paired with the 1050GH with Prosoft inserts, the feel at impact is intoxicating.
What does a test or review make? How many are necessary?
Range Days as a whole is built around limited swings so players don’t adjust and then breaking down the data by a plus handicap on impact locations on the golf club.
Welcome to THP first off, glad you found us, and thank you for watching!
Now, to the model, JB summed it up well, the goal of this isn’t to fit Dan to a club. The goal is to use the same shaft, the same parameters, and put 5 swings on the ball, good bad or indifferent, and then discuss if the tech is doing what it should, something that can 100% be discussed based on a concise sample size like this.
Range Days is different, if you want 20+ swings where they throw out half, there are plenty of cookie cutter videos out there that do just that.
And again, thanks for watching!
I’m really going to need to see more posts from you before I can decide if you are awesome or rude
This isn’t MIT brother – we aren’t submitting the results to a review board or trying to get published. I love the Range Days pods. They’re informative and fun. I think half the discussion focused on numbers – yeah, perhaps not statistically significant technically – but enough to make some comparisons and get some overall impressions. I think the suggestion in all of these is, if you heard something of interest, get out and try the clubs on your own or get fitted.
