Just got the 0211 after my club fitting and wow they are the best club I’ve ever used. HIGHLY recommend.
Just a point of fact . The clubs are “oh three eleven” and “ oh two eleven” Oh three eleven is homage to Mr. Parsons’ MOS in the USMC.
I have the 0211 irons and am very pleased. I agree with your assessment 100%. It really is a matter of feel and budget. I’ve always believed a forged club is a tad bit tougher to hit because of their smaller sweet spot whereas the cast club is larger and easier to hit. Just my opinion.
I got the 0211 after your review, couldn’t be happier👍
Glad you are enjoying them Chris
Same here! 👍
I owned the 0211 for 10 months and loved them, everything you said about them I agree with, the feel and the sound is amazing for a cast club and they perform very well. I loved them so much I decided to get the Gen3s, simply because I prefer the looks and you can’t beat a forged club. Although the 0211 sounds and feels great, the gen3s are the next level and then some! They are simply amazing and the playability is unbelievable, in my opinion they are the best iron out there. 0211 with the Core2 is good, the GEN3’s impact reactor is better. Like you said, it comes down to the individuals budget, either way they are both impressive in their own right.
I think you have that spot on Jon
whic gen 3 did you get? I was between the 0211 and gen 3 xp and decided with the gen 3 xp...cant wait to get mine!!
Your videos are always enjoyable and realistic for average golfers (10 Handicap here). Keep it going, we all appreciate it...
Great review Andy. I am expecting my full bag of PXG clubs in a few days. I agree 100 % with your assessment between the Gen 3 and the 0211. I tested both clubs and I liked the look of both irons. I ended choosing the Gen 3 XP because they gave me a little more ball speed, and they felt much more forgiving. Also, the wonderful fitter I worked with said the forged Gen 3 were easier to bend for my lie angle which was 3 degrees up. I have had five back surgeries over the last 25 years and I am still able to play this game. I really feel that PXG clubs are fantastic looking clubs that are so much easier to hit then other major brands that I have tried. I hope to get out on the links later this week with my full set of custom PXG clubs. Keep the awesome videos coming! 🏌️♂️Todd Ritchie
I am really looking forward to you getting out with your new set up Todd
You will be the first to know Andy.👍
BH,
a year on with your new PXH’s and I was jumping curious how you like them and any thoughts you have since you’ve got some time without them now, thanks!
Hi Andy, had my new 211s for 3 weeks, absolutely loving them. I was so impressed Ialso ordered the Driver, 3 wood and hybrid bundle, hopefully they will arrive soon.
Great video. I just ordered the 211 and can't wait to try them. Keep up the good work 👍
I went to a PXG fitting gung ho ready to buy the 0311.
Here is what I found...
The P versions were a little too small (head wise) for me and the XP version was too big and too low spinning (because of the super strong lofts). I loved that 0211 was a blended set where the heads are larger in the longer irons and smaller in the shorter irons. It's really hard to blend the Ps and XPs because of the sizes and lofts, they just don't blend very well. I wish PXG made a 0311 blended set.
In terms of feel, I honestly couldn't tell the difference. The fitter explained that they both use the same face and are both multiple-piece construction irons. The "Forged Feel" relates to irons forged from 1-piece of steel. It's a lot of marketing to say a multi-piece head with a forged back feels better, in my opinion. The feel, in my opinion is mostly about the face and the "goo material" inside the head, which are both wonderful!
Personally, I do prefer the looks of the screws over the 0211; it just looks more mechanical and techy.
In terms of spin numbers, a lot has to do with the lofts and I agree, there is not a lot of difference in real-world playing conditions for an "average" golfer. My 7-iron is 31 degrees and soars higher than my Miura 7-iron that was 32 degrees and has zero roll-outs if I hit it well.
The milled back looks primo and is probably worth the money if the clubs suit your game.
One of the benefits of a cast head is the loft and lies don't tend to move over time. Forged clubs need to be checked and adjusted at least once a year, I'm not sure if this applies to PXG forged clubs but definitely applies to 1-piece forged clubs.
Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with any PXG iron in terms of performance and feel. I came to PXG from a forged Miura iron and quite honestly PXG feels better and are more fun to play.
Hi, did you notice much difference in forgiveness?
@@gregcarnall9097 Not really, but I ended up selling the 0211s and getting Gen2s because I want heavier swing weights. There are limitations with swing weighting the 0211s because they don't have the weight screws. The Gen2s are now $125 on PXGs site and the 0211 are discontinued, the new 0211s are $115 so I think it's worth the $10 difference if you want specific swing weights.
@@pipebliss Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply, i think i will go for the new 0211, we cant get the Gen2s for that price in the UK. We pay £130 for the new 0211, you seem to get a better deal in the US. Cheers
@@gregcarnall9097 my pleasure and good luck with it all
I agree. Spin numbers don't really matter. It is all about the golfer and how he attacks the ball. I have had Callaway Apex Clubs, Titleist T200 and now the PXG 0211 and I land them all the same. There is not enough difference in them. It is just what you want to see at address.
Another great video! I love my 0211
Great video. Love the scenery behind you. Do you ever go for a run up to the top of those hills?
I went with the 0311 Gen 3 P irons over the 0211 because of the feel and I was just hitting the 0311 better . The 0211 is a good fit for for some but I got a better ball flight out of the 0311. Plus as a personal preference I “Loved” the look of the 0311 just felt like they were more PXG!
Great comparison Andy!…I was thinking about the 0211,s but just got fit for the Gen3 0311P,s at their new price of $159 ...Gonna be a long 5 week wait.🍻
Going for a fitting on Monday - the prices are down on everything but like u say will see what feels best and how big the gap is to justify Gen 3s - which are a tiny bit more than gen2s but 50% more than 0211....
Great review on these two.
I have a fitting scheduled on the end of the month, December. I’m
Focused on the 0211’s but will also be hitting the Gen 3 0311@: as well. Hi em the fact that the 0211’s are you on sale for $77 a club and the 0311’s are $133 a club I’m gonna to hit both during my fitting down here In South Florida. Obviously PXG is known for their Uber ohh end prices but at the sale prices I believe anyone lookin at a new set of irons deserves to have these on their short list of clubs to hit. I’m
Currently playing an older
Set of Titleist ZB forged blades. Great clubs but I just can’t hit the consistently like I used to…
I can tell you that with the 0211s I can hit to a number because of the spin I can generate. To me they also feel like butter off the club!
Andy - would love to see a head to head with the new Scottish club maker Caley Golf(aka Old Tom) vs the 0211. Looked at the specs, looks, and tech with minimal differences. Plus, the Caley is a sub-$400 set of irons and 0211 is now selling at $89 per club.
Both budget-friendly sets but would like to see if it's work the extra price for 0211 or save some coin & go with Caley. It's easier to tell the wifey if the set is sub 400, but if I have stats to show why the others are better it would help my case.
I have to say I have the p790 and I love them the only pxg I would get is the 0211 I like the look.
Could could have also mentioned the club fitting process and the fact that the 0211 is very competitively priced compared to callaway epic, taylormade P790 etc. offerings!
New to your group. Love the videos given me loads of feedback on loads of clubs got a pxg fitting end of this month. You make it simple to understand keep up good work Andy
What handicap range would you say the 0211 are for
Another awesome review Andy - you do a great job producing material that is relatable for the average golfer - thanks for all that you do!
Really appreciate that Andy
Thanks for another great review Andy. Can’t wait for my 0211 to get here, got fitted a couple of weeks ago and I’m looking forward to be more consistent with them
Another great review, Andy. I totally agree with the overhype on spin numbers. It doesn't need to spin back 20 feet on every shot: just give me a 15 foot putt for birdie and I'm happy.
Simple maths indicates why spin rate can be over-rated. Spin rate is quoted in revolutions per minute (rpm) so 6000 rpm is 100 revolutions per second. If a 7i spins at 6000 rpm and a good shot has a hang time of 5-6 seconds that means that when the ball lands it is spinning at less than 100 revolutions per sec, and a different 7 iron which spins 600 rpm less is spinning at most 10 revolutions per second less than the first club (due to degradation in flight it could be as little as 5 revolutions per second less when it lands). Peak height and descent angle are far more important to the average golfer.
Back to the irons - being a Ping i210 player, I am believer that cast clubs can feel really nice. But those Gen 3s are just so beautiful!
As ever spot on woth the spin evaluation, and you know I am a fan of the i210's
Andy, I know you play the gen 3, but now that Mizuno brought out the 921 forged, how would you compare these 2 clubs? Interested in your opinion
Dave
Great vid Andy , totally agree the average golfer is too caught up in spin numbers especially when it comes to wedges. It’s all marketing , they con people into changing wedges out nearly every season , we are not tour pros , they hit a thousand wedges a day ,compared to the once or twice a week round of Normal people , and they aren’t paying for any of their clubs
Can't beat the sale prices.
Good review. Love the gen 3 s
Bought 0211 irons after your review, over the moon with them the feel from a cast club is fantastic, ordered Proto driver after seeing your review as well, keep up the great work Andy 👍
As ever Andy thanks for a great PXG review, you are definitely the Go-to Guy for PXG on YT👍
Hope you are well pal
@@TheAverageGolfer not too bad Andy, thanks for asking, 18 holes are a bit of a struggle at the moment so I'm mainly just playing 9. But I have a comp on the weekend so that will be interesting. I hope that you and your family are well and staying safe in this crazy time?
Looking at Conway I'm very tempted to have a drive over one day, it's looking in great condition.
Great comparison Andy. Would love to see Gen2 Driver vs Proto as well. Conwy looking grand!
Will try to do Alex
@@TheAverageGolfer 👍
Peak height & land angle Andy.
Cheers Andy, I've been waiting on this one! Love my 0211's, must try and get a hit with Gen3!!
As I said both are extremely good
Just ordered the 0211’s can’t wait to get them. Thank you for your great reviews. Just wondering do you still enjoy them as much as you did in your 3 month review?
I have the 0211 true value for money they look neater at address as compared to the Gen 2 0311 P’s and feel superb !!
Good man!
Thank you. I enjoy watching your videos. What's your opinion on the GEN-2 0311 vs the 0211? I'm debating between the 2.
Same here Joel so I’m also interested in the answer you receive, thanks’
waiting on my 0311t's to ship
Any plans on reviewing the 0211 st blade? Would love to see how you get along
Which model are you referring to here? The 0311 P, T or XP?
Agreed on the spin up to a point. Where it does matter is on the very long clubs coming in at lower descent angles. Given that I'm not hitting many greens with a 3 hybrid and I'm more likely to hit it heavy and need the roll anyway, it doesn't make much difference to us weekend golfers. Height and descent angle is the overriding factor when it comes to holding greens and most of us hit them high enough to hold greens with mid and short irons with just about any ball.
Hi are the 0211 blades,also wondering if they would suit a 18 handicap
3 sets of irons available to me. Jpx 919 forged, sim max and 0211 gen 3... I need to have the set I choose adjusted but which do you think is the best of the 3 sets plz. Price not a problem as they are there waiting... thanks
Not in the market for irons but enjoyed the review 👍
Spin is never overrated , but should never be considered on its own without ball speed, land angle & apex… Just my opinion…
Did you consider strengthening the 2 degree of loft of the 0211 irons to increase distance?
Andy , spin is overrated for sure , however if you don’t have enough peak height and landing angle you will never stop on the greens , for example if the person generally has lower ball flights a low spinning iron would not be suitable .
I agree but the low ball flight should be addressed in the custom fit and finding a balance of ball flight, launch angle and spin are part of the process by a good fitter
Are you comparing the 0211 to the 0311P or T’s in this video? You show both in your images and b-roll.
Good Honest Review.
Hi Andy how would a high handicapper who plays Mizuno Hot metals find playing with the 0211?
Hi. Any plans to test the PXG 0317 X GEN2 Hybrid? Thank you.
Great video pal ⛳️👍👍
Do you know when the next gen 0211 with impact reactor core will be released?
Not heard of any new 0211's
What course is this.
Great video Andy👍 Love my 0211’s 🏌️♂️
Glad you are happy Kenny
are the 0211 sole widths equivalent to the 0311 P ?
Not sure of exact measurements, I would say the P's are slightly narrower
So if your a good golfer, any set of well built clubs will do the trick....
How pissed are you that the PXG 0211 are now $89/iron??
Hi Andy - great video ... Have you ever tried the gen 2 driving iron? would be great to hear your thoughts?
Tim Rickman yes Tim I have tried it and it’s fantastic, bit of bulk/mass at address which you want from this type of club and the club was a weapon! 👍
@@TheAverageGolfer Thanks Andy - I have the option to get a second hand one with a shaft of choice ( within reason) so looking forward to testing
Tim Rickman good luck 👍
What is better in a shaft steel or graphite what do you think ?
That depends on personal preference, golfers who are used to steel shafts like the feedback through the vibration up the shaft into your hands, graphite reduces the vibration so gives you a smoother feel. These days with all the shaft weight & profile options there is pretty well a shaft for every golfer in both steel and graphite. But you need to try both and get fitted into the correct weight and bend profile for your swing.
I think Paul has replied perfectly, you must try yourself Howie
@@TheAverageGolfer sorry Andy, I couldn't resist giving my opinion

They don't do it for me, Andy, and let's not even start on the price! No thanks.
I understand Martin, all up to the individual
Too much.
I can’t understand him. Too much mush mouth English accent.
