I just traded in a driving iron and hybrid for a Paradym X 7 wood and I love it. I loved the idea of a driving iron more than the results, couldn't hit the hybrid at all, and at the end of the day whatever works for you is best for you. Rock it without shame 🤘
Don’t get the negativity at the moment. I’m at the other end of the golf spectrum to you so sometimes skip out of the expensive club videos. No need to complain or leave whingy comments. Keep it up James.
I like that the PXG offerings this year all seem to blend. The blade, the cavity back, the hollow body, all have a similar appearance and this X looks very much like them.
I tried this yesterday - but i had mine lofted to 21deg. Paired it with the Accra iseries80. It's an incredible club! Hitting it off the tee is easy - but it can also be used off the turf. I couldn't use it in the simulator - but on the course, it's incredible!
Just bought the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi at 16.5 degrees, absolutely love it. Like you were saying about having a hybrid shaft, the Mizuno comes with the Aerotech Steelfiber shaft which makes a significant difference. Would love to see a comparison.....great video James, as usual!
Based on how you were hitting those overall, I think it's safe to say it's not going in your bag. I have a King Cobra driving iron and it's great when I hit it well but there's more to be desired in the consistency department.
Hi James. Playing PXG Gen6 {P} irons and using Project x shafts {fitted for me} GW-5. Where I live they don’t do fitting for PXG driving iron QUESTION = same iron in driving iron? I need something for tight fairways. I hit my irons straight, hence why I’m going down this line. Thanks in advance James
Just bought the 0211 irons cant waitbto getbthem on the course and give them a hit. Was looking at that long iron as well. Im not very good with hybrids.
James, I am playing 0317T's 4-pw and love them. Just curious as to the loft of the driving Iron. Used to play Ping I2's and could never hit my 2-Iron. Maybe it is time to try with long irons again. As an aside, My favorite aunt is from Clayton West (which I believe is very close to Wolly Park). I play Reunion twice a year etc but have never played back home. Would love to play with you and Chris if I can finagle a trip back home
I’d say that you seemed very inconsistent with that club. I saw one that was carry 175, full 200, and if someone as good as you hits it inconsistently, how would us mere mortals do?? I used to be a good long iron player in my 20s / early 30s (including 1 & 2 irons), but now I’m in my 50s I just don’t generate the club head speed for long irons anymore, but hybrids are great!
I’ve had this club in bag for about 3 weeks now and it’s a cannon. I put a Tour AD graphite shaft in. It’s 18 degrees of firepower. It’s replaced my 5 iron and it launches incredibly easy. Ball has been sticking to greens like glue as well. If the deck super easy to hit. On tee box off of a tee it’s a tomahawk Incred club. Good review. 👍
You are my daily go to on club reviews and love the mix of content, keep up the good work James. However, will be sticking with my P790 Udi, with graphite shaft it’s a bullet on my good days, but goes into the naughty bag if it misbehaves 😂. Cannot wait for the season to kick in
@@juasauga80 brilliant isn’t it. Got the 3 iron. Hit it once and was like oooook. 🤣. Got rid of my 3 wood and use the 2 iron. Doesn’t go as far. But 9/10 it goes nearly as far. 3 wood was gathering dust.
@DannyBoy-jy1kq I've got the tsi3 3 wood in a tensei white which is a bullet maker as well. I prefer the 3 wood. I find it more versatile for me. But when the wind is strong the 2 iron is coming out.
@@juasauga80 yeah would love to be able to hit a 3 wood right every time. But find the 2 iron a lot easier. So I sacrifice 10/20 yards. Better than sacrificing 200 🤣
How funny - you put a picture of poor old Gary up as you said "not a proper golfer" then hit that first one on the second! - time for someone to say "pot kettle"
Don't have any fear when swinging any club. Fear affects the bio-mechanics of the way your body moves and at what tempo it moves at. Just go after the ball like it owes you money.
That’s cool Rik… tbh I’ve reviewed golf clubs from day 1… so maybe it’s you that’s changed. Sad. Have a lovely day, hope things pick up. Clearly somethings irked you more than just my club reviews 👍🏼

I 100% agree about turf interaction. That is why I use ZX7 mk2.
Mind elaborate a bit about turf interaction

Appreciate your time watching and commenting David thanks mate
Loved the pic of Gary 🤣😂🤣😂

I’ll stick with my PXG 7 wood. Driving irons are too scary for me. 😮 My irons stop at the 5 iron.
Mine stop at 7...!
@@jazz15c4 I hear ya. Might drop the 5 iron and maybe even the 6 this year too. 👍

Nevermind the club . . . . I just noticed you have an automatic ball teer! How neat is that! I can't stop watching it now : )
I noticed that too and spent the rest of the video trying to figure out what kind of sorcery I was watching 😂

Love me a good driving iron. I’ll check this out at the PXG store. 17°. Similar to the P790 2 iron.

Woahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Leave Gaz alone 😡😂
That driving iron is just right for a stinger in the wind, sure is a love of stinger hitters.
I’ve tried hybrids, I find them too spinny, I prefer an iron, more accurate I think.
Cobra King Tech 3 iron adjustable 2020 - 2024 , a weapon, soft off the face, very very versatile! Don’t get fooled by marketing
A great comment! I don’t get who’s fooling who though? There’s always a great comparison to be had with any golf club
Going hard at Gaz in the last couple of videos 😆
Another top quality club review
Can you show the club from the heel so us duffers can see the amount of offset,
If you want consistency, work on your swing. Not one club ever made has been the factor if a golf shot is good.
Hear hear
Boom pxg looking good this year ⛳
Well done James 👏 😊

If you hit it so inconsistently most amateurs have no chance, a hybrid is designed for ease of use as is a 7 wood, doesnt look bagable to me
Just buy the u505. Got the 2 iron. It’s a rocket launcher.
I've got the u500. Rocket machine

Why don't you just use a hybrid instead?
I do. But I also review golf products for a living
How funny - you put a picture of poor old Gary up as you said "not a proper golfer" then hit that first one on the second! - time for someone to say "pot kettle"
You could say that… or say it’s good mates having banter lol 👍🏼😂
im off 30 - never tried a driving iron. puts fear of god into me

I thought Lee Trevino said even God could not hit a one iron. He spoke from experience, God tried, but the lightning bolt hit Lee - not the iron. 😂
Takomo 101u is cheaper
Yup you’ve sold it 😂
How?
With your way of words and your great reviews. Love it 💯
It had already gone buddy lol
No thank you driving iron.
I used to enjoy tour content. You've morphed into a full time club hawkster. Sad.
That’s cool Rik… tbh I’ve reviewed golf clubs from day 1… so maybe it’s you that’s changed. Sad. Have a lovely day, hope things pick up. Clearly somethings irked you more than just my club reviews 👍🏼
No one is buying this trash, enough with the commercials
The video title says it literally sold out. So as far as no one buying… factually wrong. It’s also a review not a commercial. Wrong again… are you ok?
