I don't get this. As I understand it, once you've experienced the super advanced technology, superior design, and magic fairy dust that makes every PXG club send the ball exactly where you want it to go, it's impossible to play anything else. No?

They don't work if you wear cargo shorts. Rocco never read the fine print.

Walter: Tell me Bobby, why do you play this game?
Bobby: I play because I love it.
Walter: Well I play for the money. I have to win. That is why every time we face each other I will always beat you.

Hope he told Larry Parsons to take a long walk .

 

Maybe Bob Parsons said "your fired for calling me Larry!"?

 

 

lol maybe.. i would have to see a DNA test to prove he and Larry Flynt arent one in the same.. the voice .. the look.. same same !

I find it a bit humorous that he chose the one set of irons more expensive than the PXG's and even more of a niche. Rocco's trolling Bob Parsons.

 

He's got wiggle room. Those Honma irons with the gold inlay are $10K for an 8 iron set. That'll be next years set.

Every time we take shots at PXG, the faithful show up in their over priced armour and come to their defence. I'd like to think that they're running out of those rehearsed defences. Yep, good clubs, but they are NOT better and are NOT worth more than the other big OEM's. I support their right to spent their money any way they choose. I just happen to think they've been suckered.

Oh absolutely. Guys can buy any brand of clubs they want. It's the guys who buy the snake oil and then try to sell me the snake oil and aren't compensated for their efforts.

I really would like to know what the falling out was with Rocco and PXG. Rocco has been known to change up his clubs regularly, but his tweet sure sounded like a shot at PXG.

Weak. "You think"; but the data proves PXG performance (trajectory/dispersion/consistency/distance). Most of the PXG hating comes from the folks who haven't put them through proper fitting from a top brand-agnostic fitter with every shaft option and a whole bunch of know-how. I actually have. Even had the lofts matched in the irons I was testing against them.

 

You'll also notice in my sig I play a variety of stuff (only 4 PXG clubs- slightly modified for me). The best of every brand in relation to me.

 

The irons are the best performers by far. Be that as it may, I don't play a PW of theirs or any of their wedges yet, because they have improvements to make.

 

Back up your claim with data and you'll gain a little more street cred.

 

What data have you provided other than to say "data proves"? Talk about weak.

 

Also, only 4 of these modern miracles in your bag? Since "date proves" they're vastly superior in every possible way, why are you only in for 4? That's like buying the trial size bottle of snake oil.

I'm sure Rocco had a thorough fitting and it seems he disagrees. Truth is pxg isn't any better than any other iron. They aren't adjustable. And they aren't magic.

OMG I'd be afraid to take a divot or hit one out of a sandy bunker ! Might depreciate the value too fast !! You'll need special headcovers to protect those objects d' art (sic) at all times.

I'll throw it out there that Tiger and Rory, and a whole stable of Nike guys had every opportunity to try their equipment with the best fitters in the world. So why didn't they all sign on the line with magic pixie dust?? Hmmmmm...

 

Bud, I'm not a PXG hater. I don't hate anything. But I do get more than annoyed with BS marketing. As one could guess, I'm "more than annoyed" a lot. I got to hit these things with a couple different shafts (whatever the players iron is) and they're just nothing special. To me, the feel like hitting a can of tuna compared to the Mizuno forgings. To each his own, but their performance wasn't and better and I'm not paying that kind of money for a status symbol. I stand by my opinion that they're very fine clubs but are not worth any more money than any other brand.

Stating a fact (data) vs. conjecture ("I think" and "I'm sure") doesn't prove a point, nor is the response rehearsed. Thanks for your input.

Your data proves nothing......Surely you know that there is data that shows the opposite.....Good lord.....For someone to come on this board and say data proves their point as though their data is the only data available is silly. I would hope such non sense would not be rehearsed.

That data isn't going to work anyway. True comparison would be for you to have numbers with your old irons with same shafts as the new heads (pxg). You can literally take any new head coming out and with infinite shaft choices , find a combo that gives better numbers than what your playing now. Proves nothing. The fact that you only managed to get 4 clubs in the bag says you tried desperately to get along with pxg and really didn't. I have kicked many iron sets out of the bag for a non performing pitching wedge or a long iron that just Didn't work. Never once kept 4 middle/short irons and proclaimed them the greatest while needing a pitching wedge etc. and to wrap all that up with a bow, numbers don't truly matter. How are they on course ? Scores dropped ? Birdie percentage up ?

What data? Are you referencing your own extensive testing? That's not data, that's an anecdote.
