PXG Gen 3... Jan 2020 (ST, Gen 3 T and P Photos added Page 13)

[TheMoneyShot]

What shafts/grips do they have on them? Are they listed on BST?

[davo32683]

Tour issue x100 with tour velvet ribbed grips

I will put them on the BST after my current ad sells

[BirdieBob]

So, you have two sets? One 6 - P with 120x and another 4 - P with x100?

I was fit yesterday and asked about the Gen 2 - they said they're totally out of the 9 iron T heads, so you can order anything other than a full set of Ts.

Hit all three - 0211, Gen 2, Gen 3. Hit the P for the Gens 2 and 3. They're as advertised. Was expecting the 0211 and Gen 2 to be very similar, but found the Gen 2 to feel noticeably softer and give me an extra 2-3mph. Gen 3 picked up another few mph of ball speed for me over the Gen 2.

Having said that, I'm all in on these things. I've also hit 0211 side by side with the MP 20 HMB and the P790. The three of those were comparable, and the better performance of the PXG forged has me sold on the brand and what they're doing.

For reference, I'm around 85 mph with the 7 iron and high launch/high spin, albeit with a pretty efficient strike.

No I have a set of Gen2 0311p 4-PW and Gen3 0311t 4-PW

[Lefty87]

Can you elaborate on your experience with the Gen 2 vs Gen 3 P model? Appearance and performance?

[snagy2000]

Fitting this morning, Gen 3 T giving me 5+ yards and 2 -3 mph better than my Gen 2 P. ST was comparable to my Gen 2 P distance with more spin. Feeling of ST good, but like Gen 3 T better IMO. Went Gen 3 T 1 degree stronger with same shaft set up (Nippon Modus 105). Gen 2 P and Gen 3 P are nearly identical except for the cone and goo inside. Didn't hit Gen 3 P because I wanted ST or T.

[Lefty87]

Has anyone seen a spec sheet with blade length and width measurements? Its driving me crazy that I cant find this info. There seems to be a drastic difference in blade length from T to P.

[K13]

They seemed similar looking down - I didn't set them side by side, but now wish I would have gotten some pics for you. I think the gen 3 may have a little more aggressive chamfer off the topline to make it not appear larger, but it might actually be.

As I mentioned above, I didn't see anything drastic other than an increase in ball speed of 2-3 mph between them. That said, most of the fitting I was focused on really getting the right setup to try to bring launch down, as I was in the 22-24* range with a 7i. More than I wanted so going between project x, dynamic gold, etc.

Having said that, the fitters noted that, while you should get fit just to confirm, they're finding a lot of the players being fit to the same shaft and specs across gen 2 and gen 3, which would support that the launch and playing conditions aren't much different, just a little better.

Has anyone experimented or been fit with 0311T Gen3 at weaker/traditional mid and long iron lofts? For example, a 34* 7 iron? Any issues bending the mids and not the shorter ones?

[snagy2000]

Gen 3 T launch really high, so I strengthened my lofts 1 degree. I would suggest hitting them with a fitted shaft before weakening these clubs. New goo is very springy.

[ssfranny]

the P and XP lofts are the same how are they 12 yards longer?

[Lefty87]

The XP is a wider, bigger head. More room for the secret goo.

[BirdieBob]

The XP loft for the 7 iron is 3* stronger than the P and the GEN 3 XP is 2* stronger than the GEN 2 XF.

[snagy2000]

The goo is nuclear, thus impact reactor...XP appear to be 1/2" longer as well per iron...

[ssfranny]

Prob i had with the Apex 2019 needed extra wedges. What I did was do a combo set P/T weakened loft 1 degree on 5,6,7 to make all 0311T lofts. With added distance of cor2 material didnt think I needed the 0311P lofts.

[ssfranny]

They dont want people buying Gen2 with the Gen3 out now and thats understandable if they changed Gen2 pricing right now would take away Gen3 sales. My guess is in the coming months Gen2 will be back. Heck they still have Gen1 woods and hybrids through Heroes

[lbhitter]

Anyone have any thoughts on loft gapping to create a mixed XP & P set?

The lofts on the XPs are significantly stronger, can't see breaking the set below the 5i.

thoughts?

[goheels11]

I did similar, 5 and 6 with the p’s 1 degree weak. T’s thru the gap

Review Gen 3 Thttps://pluggedingolf.com/pxg-0311-t-gen3-irons-review/

[fpyle3]

To anyone who has hit the Gen 3 T irons off grass, or who has actually owned them for a bit, have you noticed any weird flyers? The reason I ask is because one of the only issues I have with my current setup is that when I transition from Pro Dot to the regular Apex Pro in the 6-iron, I have gotten a couple of shocking jumpers. The Apex Pro 6 iron has cup face, which I presume is meant to do basically the same thing as the Gen 3 reactor technology (i.e., increase ball speed across a larger area of the face). I realize they are obviously different technologies, but I'm wondering if the Gen 3 Ts have a tendency to jump at all. It sounds like PXG engineered a nice bump in ball speed into these irons, which if true basically across the face is great. But I'm just wondering if anyone has noticed any hot spots in the Ts.

[BirdieBob]

Great review by Matt...tells it like it is!

[eddiebigeddie]

I am looking at these 2 as well....here's my thoughts as of now without having tried any of them...in theory this would work, might look odd having (2) 7 irons in the bag, but we know they're not the same loft. I don't have a need for a 4 iron as I already have a Xtreme Darkness 3 iron set at 19.

XP6 (+1 on loft) = 23, XP7 (+1 on loft) = 27, P7 = 31, P8 = 35, P9 = 40, PW = 45, PG = 50

[lakecowboy]

I haven't noticed any, I've played about 8-10 rounds with them since first of December.

[ssfranny]

I did 5-PW in the 0311P 5-7 and 0311T in 8-PW in gen3. Made the 0311P 1 degree weaker and the T 9 and PW 1 degree stronger. so gapping overall is more similar to the 0311T. I found with my older 0311s they launch a little low so figured with the added distance of Gen3 be OK to not go as strong with lofts.

[ssfranny]

So getting 2 7 irons interesting

[eddiebigeddie]

Its a thought....but obviously getting fitted may change that thought.

[tbowles411]

Not a bad deal. I assume they'll recondition the used irons and turn them as more of a bargain.

[ssfranny]

its not a trade in program its a trade up
