PXG Gen6? When?

[Wayside]

I really love my Gen 5 driver, which took me months (and much mental torment) to get dialled in. 
 

But… even though I know it’ll be marginal gains, and even though I know it won’t be worth the money, I want a Gen 6. 
 

We’re all sick puppies.

You might be right as I’m sure there will be a price drop coming up as it will be a tough decision as I’m sure if the BlackHawks do get released the price will be jacked up big time

Is there really hope that the blackhawks will release in the US? I thought a PXG ambassador said it’s not happening? That would be amazing.

Well we can only hope the Gen 7s have an all black look to them instead of 2 tone as the BlackHawks will be limited if they ever do release as they probably won’t make it here

It has taken me some time to get used to after the Gen 5 with which I had found a particularly strong groove, but I really do enjoy the Gen 6.

Well for me there is just hope. And the PXG Ambassadors/sales /fitters say what they are told to say. And I would bet that they wouldn't even be in the know if they were planning to release them.

 

Probably the only way I would move on from my Black XCOR II's. I just can't see them not releasing them here at some point in time.

I've been looking for an excuse to buy either your clubs or Gen 6s. I think my gen 3 P/T combo knows because they were on fire for four rounds this week. Can't kick them out just yet.

More goodies coming soon...

I have about a half dozen rounds in now with the Gen6 XPs and I am really happy with the iron changes as well as the shafts. I did take the gap wedge out of the bag though and put a 46* Vokey back in, it just fit my gapping better and I realized I just didnt want a set wedge in there below the PW.

[MAB]

Decided to go full PXG this year, for a bit of a change. 
 

My golf bag is like a revolving door, but I simply can’t see any reason to swap out the Gen4 irons - whilst I’ve admittedly not hit the Gen6 irons, the Gen4s are forgiving, consistent, feel great, etc. so there’s nothing which needs ‘fixing’ which means there’s nothing drawing me to the Gen6s (and I prefer the look of Gen3/4 to the look of Gen5/6). 
 

The Gen6 woods have been great thus far.

 

I moved from G430 LST into the Gen6 driver, and I could honestly use either quite happily. 

 

Interestingly, I feel the G430 Max 3 wood had a little more ballspeed to it, but I prefer the shape of the Gen6 and I have more consistently centred contact with it. 
 

I was weighing up 7w or 3h for the remaining gap, and have gone 7w. Not received yet, but hopefully soon… and looking forward to it having previously played a hybrid. I suspect + and - will be that 7w into greens has better stopping power, but 7w will be more challenging to keep down when teeing of with it on ‘positioning is important’ par 4s. 
 

And most importantly, the setup looks amazing in my black fairway camo PXG carry bag!

Okay. I read through about 15 pages.

 

Anyone have longer term reviews of Gen 6 irons?

I can only speak to the Gen6 P's, but they have been absolutely fantastic! Pretty much everything I want in an iron. Forgiving, fairly long, and stop in a short distance on the greens throughout the whole set.

Thanks for the update. Are you shooting lower scores with them? 

[Mahamilto]

Love mine. My iron play is slightly better than prior; came from pxg gen 2p. 
 

Feel and look great. Very consistent and forgiving. Long. All the good things. I think they are the best in their category (player distance) I’ve tried.

Honestly, yes.

[dlovage]

I think I've posted this same question twice in this thread so bear with me 😃 Any new news on Sugar Daddy IIIs or more grind options? Doing another fitting on Monday to buy my *third* set of SDs. I keep convincing myself that something will kick them out but end up going back to them. This has been a very expensive venture lol.

[LoopySwing13]

Finally bit the bullet and got fit. Fortunately it was my first fit in Orlando (and Jerry was my fitter and he knows his stuff. Great guy and has a ton of tour issue PXG in his bag - but wont share 😒).
 

I was between Gen 5 and 6 coming from Gen 2.. and I currently have a Gen 5 driver which I love. Both were much better in terms of forgiveness and dispersion and about 5-7 yards longer carry. I also found the shaft fit interesting. Where I landed:

Gen 6 3/5 woods with Tensei white 75.  I currently have Ventus blue 7/8 velocore so I may swap those in but the Tensei white was surprisingly good as well. I also hit them with the motore which was very optimal but the velocore was so similar as well as tensei. For no upcharge I went with the tensei and can swap in my Ventus blue as well. FWIW the motore is $100 upcharge and a bit stiffer handle than the VB but still a lot of feel. The Tensei white is much more boardy and fits in line with my PX6.5 iron shafts. Oddly, I hit fades with my VB and the motore but baby draws with the Tensei??!!

 

The look and feel of Gen 6 is just awesome. Feels very solid and strong but also the black carbon like crown with a slightly straighter leading edge makes hitting of the deck (visually) more appealing. Gen 5 just feels very hollow but not awful, just felt like it was worth the extra money to have the one I know I want in the back of my mind… now I just have to fight the urge for Gen 6 driver! 
 

Really hope they get here by this weekend but will at least have them for my golf trip in august.

Continue to love my Gen 6 fairway woods. Don't use them off the deck much, but so money off the tee. What I think is the magic sauce in these fairway woods (and PXG clubs in general), is the adjustability of the weighting.

[larciel]

Returned Gen 6 because there was damage. I played with Gen5 driver and it was 10-20 yds shorter. Must be my swing today... Right guys?  (about to pull Gen6)

[LoopySwing13]

Can’t wait till get these out for league and weekend golf. 3/5 woods Gen 6 post fitting. 

[JB lefty]

They look great. Makes my Gen 5 driver look a bit well out of date. Must resist buying Gen 6 clubs.....

[golf1010]

Bought the gen 6 P my third set after not loving the gen 2 and 3. Which lasted a week. 

These stayed in the bag. Really got a winner. Love the feel, distance and accuracy of these. Easily 10 yards longer and straighter then anything I had.

To be fair, they were both (G5/6) extremely close but the look and feel of G6 was better. I have G5 driver and likely won’t change since I hit it so well.. at least until the first price drop 😂 . I actually like the lighter carbon top on the G5 driver but the fairways didn’t setup as clean. See how they go today and this weekend!

What 3wd were you in before? Very interested in the Gen6 fwy woods due to the high level of adjustability. 

[snagy2000]

Well, I think my Gen6 driver might be in trouble. I put an Aerojet LS into play to change things up during the dog days and it's been eye opening ever since. There's been distance gain, better dispersion and it just feels faster swinging it. Gen6 has a Red TR in it, while the AJ LS has a GD AD-TP. Now, I'm finally fully recovered from meniscus surgery and playing back better. While still recovering earlier this spring, I tried the AD-TP from my Gen5 in the Gen6 and it didn't seem like the right fit, so I switched to the Red TR and it's been working. I'm going to put the AD-TP back into the Gen6, but it's got tough competition to stay in the #1 slot.

I came from Gen 2… so a bit of an upgrade. I played 14 holes today (9 in league and 5 after) and a bit surprising honestly. Overall they are much more forgiving and great ball flight. Not as in Iove with the sound or shaft I was fit in but man the ball goes. Few 3 woods in the 250ish range carry off the tee (and we teed off after 30 min of downpour) so I’m sold. Also hit a 5 wood to 15 feet on a par 5 from 230 and hit an awful 5 wood from 240 and was about 10-15 yards short. They have flat out performed and look great.

 

I play 18 Saturday and am throwing in my Ventus blue 7/8s from my Gen 2 and hope that helps the sound (might be wishful). They definitely perform deck and tee and hope to see continued success.
 

FWIW I got fit for Tensei white in both 3/5 but the 5 wood seemed better than the 3 wood.. not sure why. Again, only 1 round and nitpicking but look forward to hitting them more.

I just tried out the gen6 driver against my gen5 driver(ventus velcore blue 6x). ...Used my same shaft taken out of my gen5. 

The gen6 head felt way more explosive off the face!

Numbers were mostly similar between the 2 models on solid strikes,  but the feel and sound were definitely upgraded imo in the gen6. Definitely impressed.

I just got the 430 3w few months back.  It's one of the best feeling 3ws I've ever hit with a ventus TR 7xblue, but if the gen6 3w feels anything like the driver I hit, it might be something to look at.

Did the Gen6 Challenge this morning. I was asking the fitter and a rep that was there about the Blackhawks coming to US. He said that they for sure won’t and that name was given only for overseas all back Gen6 irons. He said the only thing he can tell me is that an all black head is coming soon as well as an all chrome head. He said they look awesome.

That’s disappointing on the irons… I am completely sold on G6 fairways after hitting several 3 and 5 woods in on par 5s including a 3 wood from 270 and 240 forced carry to 30 feet. These things are the best fairways they have made to date IMO. 
 

Now off to see if the G6 driver can replace my G5!
