I hope they’re more ‘utility’ and less ‘driving’. And easier to play than the X!

[Proof]

Woods look awesome, especially the deep face on the 0311 driver.

[RH82]

Will be curious to hear any feedback on the 0311 driver.

[Milk Diesel]

Good looking woods. Why do the irons almost look "High toe"? Interesting

That video states Gen 6 is going to be available in 2 models, XP and P, implying that there will not be a T model.  Is that true?

The T model will be released under the 0317 moniker later this year, it's no longer in the 0311 line. Talked about in the Gen6 thread.

I like the looks of the Gen 6 irons a bit better then the Gen 5's. The price is high but not like it has been in the past. Same XCOR 2 so really there won't be a significant difference at all in performance no matter what Bob say's. Oh I did see where a reviewer said its 1 whole mph ball speed faster plus 3-5 yards longer....REALLY. Has there ever been a new product ever to come out where the ball speed was slower and you got less distance. Curious if the price will stay the same when the Gen 7's come out in 8-9 months from now. If there is a price drop just think it should be much lower than what the Gen 5's are now since they started out being priced so high like all the other Gen models.

Go hit them, there's an improvement. PXG always improves Gen to Gen, whether or not its significant is up to every person's definition of significant. 

[PDFPXG]

PRICING, wow is much lower at launch than all previous models. 

list price at launch was

Gen $349

Gen 4 $375

Gen 5 $349

Gen 6 ONLY $219.

I know that PXG changes prices and has big salex with  

Gen 3 $99

Gen 4 $139

Gen 5 $159

 

In many ways I have enjoyed getting a deal by buying off season older models on sale but are they going to change their way of doing business and come in at a closer to market price and hold it at the $219?

Woods better come with it this year. They can’t keep staying behind the big boys in the driver and fairways department. I can’t wait to try it out in a fitting. 

Agree 1000%. Their irons and wedges are fantastic but woods are slow and spinny. I did the full bag fitting and just couldn't stick with the driver and 3w even though they are very consistent. 

[Mahamilto]

Reviews coming in for the gen6 mirror my fitting experience. 
 

Better consistency on misses with tighter dispersion and a nit

more speed. With hollow irons the holy grail is consistency; every review and my own fitting confirmed this. 
 

Some good reviews from NBCgolf and plugged in golf hit the net this morning.

 

Now if someone could get FedEx to be more consistent? This is the second time I’ve had a delivery hit the NJ distribution center and then be suddenly marked as “delivery date unknown”. I was told by FedEx “this happens when a package isn’t scanned as it’s put on the next truck”. 
 

NJ… go figure. You had one job. I need to sign for these things and literally the last stop before going to the delivery truck you stop scanning them. Come on!

My Ps arrive tomorrow. Fitting info was in the pre-release thread. 
 

long story short…

 

compared to my gen2P (x100amts soft stepped once)

 

12yards longer 

>30% better down range dispersion 

6k spin with 48-50* decent angle (7i) going 120’ apex. 

Miles more forgiving (especially on the toe). 
Unreal protection of launch conditions on that miss. 

 

Had 3 fittings in a 2w period with Mizzy 223 pro and Mizzy 225 pro being the best at the other 2 fittings. Those clubs beat my currents by a bit (mainly just being more consistent than my currents with better spin/launch but only the 225 was longer than my currents). 223 great club. Felt as good or better; launch and spin way too much and less forgiving toe side. 
 

No comparison at all from this to the 225; pxg way better (The other fitting I contemplated buying at completion). Faster, longer, more accurate, tighter front to back and right to left. Felt and sounded better. Could nail my swing weights (this can’t be understated if you are longer or shorter than standard) with no issue (mizzy we had to either change the shaft to something lighter or accept a club a bit heavier than I wanted tbh). Loved the 225 till I hit this. 
 

Hands down winners. Also dominated the gen5s, particularly in terms of how consistent the launch/spin/ball speed was on the toe miss. 
 

Real winners. FedEx says tomorrow. Can’t wait. 

 

That's interesting... 12 yards longer across the board in all irons?  I'm most surprised you found them longer than 225s.  The Mizzys have been on my radar lately but if the PXGs keep up, that's eye opening.

really good video of two scratch golfers getting fit into the gen6 gear

As someone who has played every Gen of the PXG's I can easily see this. 

 

IMO the biggest improvements in PXG irons were from Gen 2 to Gen 3. Since G3 each generation has been marginally better than the other.

 

But going from G2 to G6, DRASTIC improvement !!!!!!!

12y longer than gen2p yes. 
 

Launched a tad higher, spin was optimal 6k-6200 vs 66-6800, and about 3-4mph of ballspeed. 
 

We couldn’t get anywhere near that ballspeed from the 225. The 225 was a carbon copy of my gen2 except less spin. So I saw only small gains. I actually didn’t see much ballspeed difference from the 223 to the 225; but the 223 spun was too much (7k average). We contemplated strengthening the 223, but why not go with the perfect fit. The gen6 was ideal. And they are “out for delivery”. 
 

I had the mp20hmbs too. Gen2 was better. The 225s were very underwhelming for me. I would have kept my gen2 due to feel alone. If I find go gen6 it would have been 223s 1-2* strong… and hoping the bounce change didn’t cause issues.

Had gen3P/t combo and gen4T. Then gen3 I hated the shaft and never gave a fair shake. Loved the feel tho, but with the wrong shaft in the 3’smy gen2s easily beat then. 

[SheriffBooth]

Really like the look of the 0311 driver and the 0311P irons.  Hybrids are a little busy for my taste, and the fairways fall somewhere in between.  But all in all a really nice looking release here.

[Mahamilto]

so that happened. 

[Mahamilto]

Back from trackman 2 rounds and a long range session. Stellar. That’s all I can say. So good. So much more consistent than my gen2. Soft. Fast. Make my bad shots better. Good shots super predictable. Mirrors my fitting. The ability to put the perfect combo together AND THEN DIAL YOUR OPTIMAL SWING WEIGHT IN… 

 

I think the precision weighting more than any other aspect is what makes PXG on another level, especially for me (6’3.5” and +1/2” while wanting stability of an 130g shaft). 
 

And for those who say they are ugly… in hand and in the bag they are sexy as hell. Craftsmanship. 
 

So satisfied.

I am a diehard PXG guy and have been since day 1. But, I was one of the ones that said the G6 irons looked cheap when I saw the pics.

 

They are SOOOOOOO Much better looking in person !!!!!!!

What have those of you that have hit he irons put them up against and how did they stack up?

3 professional fittings in the same week leading up to purchase of Gen6P. I’ll list what I hit in that week and each blurb will be about THAT CLUB compared to the Gen6P. I kept being put in DGx100 or x7 so that’s basically negligible. 
 

Mizuno 223 - felt as good (maybe better? Less springy some would argue better). Smaller blade length, same or more offset tho and thicker topline. Shorter. Launched higher. Spun more. Less toe forgiveness. As consistent overall. 
 

Mizuno 225 - did not feel as good, much firmer. Similar launch/spin, but less ballspeed especially on toe miss. Less forgiving. Thicker look but with shorter blade length (by a touch). Not as long due to ballspeed. Less consistent. 
 

Taylormade p770 - felt awful except when absolutely pured, which was still clicky. Spin a tad more, similar launch. Slightly less ball speed. A tad smaller. Shorter. Similar consistency. 
 

Taylormade p790 - terrible feel, didn’t feel at all forged. Spin less. Launch similar. Same ballspeed. Similar size and appearance behind the ball. As long maybe a touch longer. Way less consistent distances, but good protection on toe miss. 
 

Taylormade 7mc - amazing feel tbh, true forged feel. Not springy at all. Spin more launch higher. Very consistent. Surprised how much I liked them, but bad on my toe miss (really didn’t like being hit off the toe). Shorter. Spinnier. And that toe miss drop off was scary how my bad days would go. 
 

Srixon zx7 - hated these in both fittings… but then my buddy got them in ctaper and I shockingly liked them head to head with mine. So I’ll compare that instead of my hating them in the fitting. Not quite as soft, but feel nice and forged. Less springy. Launch lower, spin similar. Solid ballspeeds but not quite as high. 1/2 club shorter. As consistent, but toe miss slightly more penalized. 
 

Titleist t100s - after enjoying ap2 718 was surprised I didn’t like these more. Great look. Great feel on center. Small profile (for better or for worse, you decide). Less toe protection by a ton. Less ballspeed. Lower flight. Slightly higher spin. Shorter by 1/2 to a full club. 
 

Pxg gen2P - my irons up to this point. Have survived many assaults from my club hoing. Similar feel, maybe not quite as soft. Full club shorter. Launch similar but with more spin and less speed. Good toe protection, but more inconsistent distances (front to back). Similar look (shocker 🤣). 
 

If I hadn’t hit the PXG Gen6P I would have bought Mizuno 223, and maybe been torn about not nailing the zx7 in the fitting as I like my buddies. 
 

That said zero regrets on what I got, zero. The Gen6P was the hands down winner.

I had almost identical results as mentioned above.  Overall I felt G6 (and my current G5), the head seems much more stable through the shots.  I didn’t feel the club head was twisting at all.    I would seriously challenge anyone, compare hitting a PXG iron out of the rough and compare the shot to any other club manufacturer.   All the other clubs (as mentioned above), I 110% agree, some may look cleaner (to each his own) and yeah, if you pure them they all feel good, but with PXG it was consistent good ball strikes for me.  Dispersion was tight, I wasn’t losing much distance on off center hits.  The 7 iron I was testing, I was flying consistently 165/170 yards.  Every other club I tested I fell into that 145-150 range.  I felt the club was working with me, not against me.  Pure strikes forget it, insane distance and beautiful feel.   I remember playing MIzuno for many many years, playing holes 15-18 at my club and just felt as if my clubs were struggling.   Talk to me middle of July during a match and you’re 2 down trying to make a comeback.   G6 feel hands down better than Mizuno, Cobra, etc.  I think if there was any other club I was considering it was the new Cobra Kings but other than that, forget it. PXG won hands down for me.  Unquestionably the best made iron out there and for anyone to dispute this, we then agree to disagree.   Looking for my new sticks to arrive I believe later this week.  Very happy.

What improvements did you see over gen5?
