Well, that’s a lot better than $650 per stick..

These aren’t fully killed like the STs. There’s are forged. And just finished with milling to match the look of the STs. If anything the new Gen 3s all look like the new STs, for all intents and purposes this is probably PXGs new design aesthetic. It mimics the raise bump on their woods as well

*milled not killed LOL

That's a good observation about the raised bumps matching the woods....may be a coincidence..but may be purposeful

In the Gen3 non ST irons, it absolutely serves a purpose. That “bump” is hollow on the inside of the iron so it means extra COR2 material in the head directly behind the center of the club head.

It serves a purpose in the ST as well. More mass behind the hitting area translates into better feel.

Not arguing it has a real purpose...but it "matching" the woods might be a coincidence...just noticing that both had a bump was a good observation i thought...but now i will shut up

True dat on the STs as well!

 

Also, @Shakespeare LOL!!!! No harm no foul my man!!!!

 

[Dunny51]

Are they releasing new woods and hybrids or just irons?

[dhen9]

Is there still an XF model?

Yes sir

Great sticks, just more than I’m willing to spend with the other offerings on the market.

> What would you say makes them perform slightly better? The Gen 2's are so awesome in feel and forgiveness. If the Gen 3's are equally as good I will get them for sure. Love the looks of these and have emailed my fitter about them as well.

 

I was getting a few extra yards consistently with the Gen 3 P’s and T’s over the Gen 2 versions. They felt pretty similar. I’ve always had a hard time with the PXG’s on looks. I really want to play the 0311P’s but the longer irons just look too rounded to me on the top line and they have a bit too much offset. The 0311T’s look great but I don’t think I want the smaller head. I only saw the 7 iron of the Gen 3 irons. I thought the Gen 3 0311P’s did look better to my eye than the Gen 2.

 

Ultimately, if you can wait until January for the Gen 3’s, it’s probably wise. That is unless they start offering the Gen 2’s at a significant discount, then I’d go that direction.

Thanks for the review. I have a fitting scheduled next Wednesday so we'll see how it goes.

 

And I've had the PXG irons since they came out. First the Gen 1's and then went with the Gen 2's when they came out. No reason to stop now right, love the looks of all of them and the performance is even better.

[Shakespeare]

The one problem I have had with the gen 1 and 2's is how they wear...really fast to me...I have the 0211' s now and they are like a tank wear wise...they look great still...cast has its benifits...hoping the triple forging, super coating, whatever helps these wear better

[ssfranny]

I assume the Gen2s will drop to $175-200 soon.

[4puttJohnny]

Wow. How p issed would you be if you just bought Gen2 at $400 a pop and now 6 weeks later you could have gotten them for half that!

[ssfranny]

Guessing soon may come out with deal where you pay retail for gen2 can get Gen3 at discounted price

[GoGoErky]

Wouldn’t that go for any brand this time of year?

Yes but with PXG’s “we won’t replace anything with something that is not markedly better” and the years they took between gen 1 and gen 2 this doesn’t really feel the same as most of the other manufacturers normal and expected release cycles. Call me bitter because I’m in the just bought gen 2 irons not knowing they were two months from being replaced camp but I feel PXG is moving away from their commitment to making the best clubs possible, no matter the cost/time it takes, and more towards the mainstream “we’ve got to put something out every spring to stay relevant.” I can’t fault them, it’s business and that’s the way every other major brand does things, but I feel like it’s definitely different than they’ve done in the past.

I had a buddy who just ordered his over the weekend and another one 2 weeks ago

Might even see them move toward lower prices to move more product in future cycles.

I get where you are coming from in regards to how there’s a known with other brands that either in the late summer early fall or around the pga show new product will come where as with pxg it’s an unknown until they announce something is coming or getting “upgraded”

 

I do think they are still maintaining the we aren’t releasing anything til it’s improved since it appears they are taking some of what they did in the st line and applying it to the rest of the 0311 lineup.

 

I was in your boat last year with the gen2 and them being offered on the heroes program after I had received mine. I look at it like I wanted the irons when I ordered them so I bought them, there were no guarantees of ever going on the heroes program so no disappointment from me and look at this the same way. Up until this week there was no news on new gen3 so use who bought already did so with the mindset of I want thirst irons so I’m getting them.

its been 2 years since the Gen 2s launched......IIRC. Also, the Gen 3s are better clubs, i dont know what anyone else expects? Both boxes checked IMHO

[4puttJohnny]

See below

[4puttJohnny]

That other site

is in tight with those guys. I’m surprised they haven’t already posted pics, etc.

[snagy2000]

There was a PXG media day a few weeks back, pretty much tipped people off new things were coming. Heck, I told people new irons were coming over a month ago in a different thread and was scoffed at by fellow Wrxers.

[TheMoneyShot]

PXG seems like they will be on a 2 year cycle now for products.

[tmb guy]

i was expecting alot more comments here be it positive or negative

 

[ibradley]

I want a set now. Patience is not one my my strong points. Anyone know how to get in the PXG 1000?

[lakecowboy]

I'm getting fit next Wednesday at my club, interested to see how they perform for my game.
