PXG custom fitting

[BigMack]

I have a custom fitting with PXG coming up next week at Pinehurst. I am predominantly there to get fit into the New Gen 5 driver considering it is only $299. Additionally, I will probably look at the 3-wood, likely the 0211 line, though there is no adjustability. Has anyone had a custom fitting experience with PXG lately with either one of these clubs?

Don't sleep on the new 0211 driver either. I liked the first Gen 0211 a lot but the latest is even better. Very stable, sounds fantastic and great overall numbers.

I have the 0211 from last year. Not sure if I'm expecting a big increase or not going into the Gen 5.

I got fit for a PXG driver at the local PXG store here in Dallas in October.

 

I was going to buy the 0211 online when they were blowing out the 2021 model. But I figured I'd go get fit and see how I liked it. In full transparency, fitting had been a mixed bag experience for me. But for $25, I figured why not?

 

The process was fantastic. We got some baseline shots with my G400 Max. He asked a lot of questions about what I liked/didn't like in that driver. As well as what weight shaft I generally prefer. From there, we went through we tried a couple of heads and I liked the 0311P. Once he found a loft that worked, we went through a variety of shafts looking to find the right fit. I was surprised at how different some shafts felt than I expected. I loved the feel and got absolutely fantastic numbers from the Project X Cypher 6.0 shaft. t's a shaft I NEVER would have picked for myself. But the numbers didn't lie. 

 

My fitter was able to build the club right there in the store. I had tee time that afternoon and was running late.  Literally the first time I hit the club was on the first tee with my buddies.  Piped it down the middle. (and got a lot of crap for them. :))

 

I've played it for 6 rounds so far. It's a keeper. It's long and forgiving. I love the sound, it reminds me a bit of the TSi.  At least a few times a round I've had a shot I felt like I mishit that went further than it had any business going...especially low shots.

 

PXG was not on my radar. But the fitting experience was so good that I ended up going back and getting a putter.  (It's just as good.). Unfortunately I couldn't find PXG irons that beat my gamers, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Had 2 separate fitting sessions trying to find something.  I loved the PXG experience, I was eager to give all of their stuff a try.

 

I also didn't get along with their fairway woods.   As much as I love the driver, I thought it would have been a no-brainer. I bought it without fitting, but it just wasn't as good for me.  But I was able to return it through their 'no questions asked' policy.'

 

Edit - I cannot say enough positive things about my fitter. He was fantastic. He made the experience low pressure and fun. I felt like he was truly invested in trying to find something that fit me perfectly.  He was excited as I was about how well the driver fit. But he was also very good about not finding an iron that fit.  I was crushing my irons on the baseline testing. He jokingly said he had his work cut out for him.  After trying a lot of options, we both agreed that my current irons are perfect for me. Some fitter would be put out about it, but he was so good about it that I almost felt bad the PXGs weren't better.

 

I'll absolutely go back to him when the new stuff comes out. And I referred another WRXer to him that ended up buying a driver and set of irons.

I went for a fitting when the Gen 4 stuff was out. The fitting experience was great but none of the woods wowed me so I passed. I think the irons are good. Haven’t been since Gen 5 has been out but I have a bias against their drivers, fairways are meh I think, though I have the previous generation 0211 7w in the bag now and I’ll say it’s good. PXG has been the most positive fitting experience I’ve had. Granted I’ve seen the same guy because he’s awesome.

My experience getting custom fit for their Gen 5 driver and 0211 3-wood was amazing. If you want to see why the $179 3-wood is a winner, watch this if interested.

love to share, i adjust swingweight by myself, got some iron weights from allfitgolf, they got specific in 0.5g difference. that is nice. saved bucks.  😀

While at it, I would make sure to hit their hybrids and irons. The irons is their bread and butter and for good reason. But their hybrids are well up there as well. They have found the best blend of forgiveness and lowish spin and it is one of very few hybrids that does not want to go left. They are hot of the face.

You can hit the hybrids during a wood fitting which lasts for about 60 minutes. If you want to hit an iron, you would have to book another session.
