  I don't agree that it's ugly.  Shaping-wise it looks fine.  The PXG logo is a bit out there, but it was always going to be there but think they should have made it a bit smaller.  The thing that really bothers me about this iron (and it's not exclusive to PXG, a lot of manufacturers do this) is the word "Milled" on the back.  Club makers seem to think its important to put extraneous, useless information on the backs of clubs and I wish they'd just knock it the hell off.  First, nobody gives a sh*t.  Second the majority of players looking at this iron can figure that part out just by looking.  If you have to put something like that on an iron find some space on the hosel.  

  Sorry for the mini-rant but the irons in my sig are beautifully shaped but then TE has to go and put "EXS Blade" and "Milled forging" in the milled part of the club.  If they had just simply left it at the elegant "Exotics" on the muscle it would belong in the Guggenheim but they gotta go do that.  Shame.

Fingers crossed that these are a part of their black Friday sale

Im interested in the forgiveness this might have.

Judging by the placement of the muscle in the 5-PW, there is quite a bit of mass moved toe side and some heel side. I would imagine this helps a lot on lateral misses. Hopefully moving that much mass away from the centre doesn’t affect feel too much negatively. 
 

Those 3 and 4 irons will be sweet. They look like PING I series irons without the offset.

Depends on what you mean by traditional! Some folks here would have gamed 32° 5 irons. Although back then the 5 was a V ...

Any reviews on these?  Curious about turf interaction with the additional bounce.

No change in bounce between the 0311ST and the 0317ST.

The 0317ST has more offset however

Are you sure, Bob? The website shows the 0317ST pitching wedge at 14° of bounce dropping down to 5° of bounce when you get to the four iron. In contrast, the site shows the 0311ST starting at 10° of bounce in the pitching wedge and moving down to 3* in the four iron. I like bounce, so the increase interests me. If the specs on the site are wrong, though, it may not be worth moving out of my 0311s.

Here are pics of the 0311ST and 017ST.  I see the same bounce.

Maybe these have been changed since I took the pics?

Checked again....looks like the specs have been updated since my pic and bounce is more as well as offset in the 317

I’m in my phone, so hard to get a full screen shot of the specs, but here are the bounce numbers listed on the site. Interesting that there seems to be a discrepancy.

So does anyone have these yet?  Not a PXG fan but oddly intrigued by these...in my head am hoping they are "S55 updates," which I don't think Ping ever truly followed up on.

The black ones are 👌. I saw these in the van last November, could have been the first ones because the guy that comes to fit at my course is 10 minutes from headquarters. 
 

I should have waited but I love my 0211ST’s.

If they made a set like the 3/4 iron pictured here, I would buy two sets immediately!!!!

Wish they made both full sets, would make for good combo options.
