PXG 0211 irons - what do you think?

[Stonewalled]

Can anyone compare the 0211's to the P790's ? Seems to be alot of love for the P790's recently. I can remember hitting the 790's once a few years ago, liked the 5,6&7 with the slots, but the 8,9&pw felt like they belonged to a different set. I didn't have that problem with the 0211's.

I keep seeing people trying to compare the 0211s to the p790's and, in my opinion, the p790's are closer to the 0311P's, at least in size. From what I've heard, the p790's ans the 0311P's are similar in performance as well.

 

Wouldn't the 0211's be more comparable to something like the PING G700's?

[Ripken08]

I think the 0211s, P790s, i500s and HMBs are all targeted towards the same demographic.

Just a quick update regarding delivery time for my recent order.... I know there were people wondering if the big holiday sale would cause extended delivery times.

My order (6 clubs) was officially processed exactly a week ago today. I just received an email letting me know they’ve shipped and should be here on Thursday. Pretty good if you ask me!

[Lefty87]

The question is, if the 0211's weren't cast, which 0311 iron would they be closest to?

[Lefty87]

I believe they are still working extended holiday hours (weekends) to get orders out as soon as possible.

[dxdgenert]

XF in the 4-6 or 7 and P in the 6 or 7-W. It is truly a progressive set.

[Lefty87]

Also, the i500's are insanely compact with a crazy thin top line considering they are a hollow iron. In terms of head size and shape, the i500's are definitely similar to the 0311P. I really can't say how similar they are to the 0211 because I havent seen the 0211 size/top line in person.

[Ripken08]

I actually went to PGASS today to look and hit the i500. I didn't have my PXGs to compare side by side, but they are pretty close. i500s are probably a hair thinner and shorter heel to toe but not much in it. 0211s are not even remotely close to G700s in terms of size. G700s are huge in comparison.

[Lefty87]

You are right. I forgot how large the g700s are

[Stonewalled]

I had a set of the i500's early spring 2019, loved the look, low offset etc. They were pretty compact if my memory serves me, not the best feeling irons. I hit some sweet shots but also alot of duds. My lie board fittings always set me 2 up, finally figured out (late fall) I hit standard lofts in the long irons and 1-2 flat in the scoring irons better. The i500's were 1 up, wouldn't mind trying them again with the correct lofts. I hit the 4 iron so well, kinda wished I hadn't of sold it with the set. Hopefully the 0211's have a good spring for me:)

I had the PING 700s and the 0211s now and to the naked eye the 0211s look smaller.

[AzSuperHack76]

The 700’s and 0211’s aren’t comparable. They aren’t even close to each other in size. 700’s are shovels.

Similar delivery window update to above: I ordered 12/14, order "processed" 12/16, they're arriving today.

[Lefty87]

That's over 3 weeks. That seems like a long time. Poster above will have received them in a week and a half.

[SlyBrigade]

@Lefty87 true, I suspect that part of it had to do with the Christmas holiday.

Also worth noting that I ordered a gen 1 hybrid with the order, and they apparently oversold those. I got a call on new years' day stating as much, and they offered a reduced upcharge for a gen 2. I doubt that slowed my order, though...production is production, whether or not they oversold on the gen1.

[Ripken08]

I ordered 12/4 and received 1/4. Not trying to decide whether to hit them or return them lol

[Lefty87]

A month? I was told 7-9 days when I just placed my order.

Why are you considering selling?

[Ripken08]

Thinking of going all Ping and doing i210s in power spec lofts

[1Mordrid1]

Is it because you want one brand throughout the bag? Or because you are worried the PXG 0211's won't live up to your expectations?

 

 

[Ripken08]

Both lol

My 6 iron with Accra i90 shaft arrived this afternoon. Took exactly three weeks including two holiday weeks. Excited to try it out. In other news, it snowed today in DC. But supposed to hit 60 this weekend!

[rbilramz]

Not at all. The Ping 700’s are huge. My 0211 are smaller than my i25’s in the scoring irons, and slightly larger in the 5-4 irons.

[1Mordrid1]

Everyone's game is different. I tried the 210's twice. I loved them both times, but both times they came up a just a tiny bit bit short compared to the irons I chose. In fact there is nothing specific that I don't like about the i210's. When I chose the G700's over them, I was coming back from back and shoulder injuries. The G700's were ridiculously forgiving and flew extremely long and high. The i210 was great and felt better, but they were around 17 yards per club shorter. And a little more demanding. So because of the timing, the G700's went in the bag. If I had been perfectly healthy at the time, and did not need the extra forgiveness, I may have leaned to the i210.

Then as I got healthier, I decided to give PXG a shot. So I tried several of their offerings along with a lot of other brands to make sure I was just not forcing myself to drink the PXG kool-aid. The i210's were still great, but they were shorter than the 0211's and the 0211's felt much better. And even though the PXG irons are slightly stronger lofted, my ball flight was very controllable and the spin was the same as the i210's. Like I said these were just my results, but for me the i210 were good at everything, they just did not stand out at anything if that makes any sense.

[dmeeksDC]

Never had the i210 but the Ping fitter I went to put me in power spec lofts on the i200 set I gamed, and that caught them up to others in distance. Also got my ball flight down to 90-93 feet from over 100 feet and fhat optimized the carry.

i was comparing my new 0211 six iron — in head shape/size — to other heads I have, like the P770, S55 and z765. For a hollow-headed iron that by design has to be made larger, it doesn’t look glaringly out of place. (i could take photos if anyone wants to see the comparisons.) In some ways it looks like an S55 made proportionally larger, and a little deeper. It is more mid-sized in heel to toe length but I would say similar to the Mizuno 919 Forged. Overall it’s a little bigger than I would want in scoring irons but those are smaller in a progressive set like the 0211, I just have not seen them yet. Sole is flatter-looking than I expected (not unlike the 770) but it has a nice camber on the trailing edge to reduce turf interaction. The 0211 is a very pretty club and looks sweet with the Accra shaft.

I like the head shape at first glance but I need to see it in play. Skip the range time, I’ll get a better take by getting it out on a course.

[Chomper]

Got my 0211's about two weeks ago, but between work, family, travel and weather, I didn't get to hit them until Monday.

I am coming from Ping i210's w DG S300. The PxG come w Accra 105 stiff.

My ball flight is lower w the 0211's. I am surprised, but it is quite a bit lower. Not sure on distances, but it feels like they go a little further.

I will play them on the course for the first time on Wed, will come back and give my thoughts after the round.

[Jungleland]

I believe it was in one of the PXG threads but the sentiment is that these are being blown out by PXG and discontinued. Our pro, a PXG staffer, indicated that same when speaking with him on Sunday. He gave no reason, just said he is being told that they will blow through the remaining stock and that is it. Gen3’s of course are already in fitting carts and many bags.

[Ripken08]

I asked the PXG rep when I called about the status of my order and he said there were no plans to discontinue.

[Jungleland]

I know but some of those guys also claim the GEN3’s don’t exist

[dmeeksDC]

It doesn’t make sense to me they would discontinue them. I could see an updated cast iron in their place at some point. But to me PXG coming out with a quality cast club at an affordable price point was a smart move. Draws in new customers and shows what they can do in expanding their product line.
