I love my PXG driver which I purchased a year ago during a promotional sale. But I had to go with Takomo 101 irons because they were more affordable. They have taken about 8 strokes off my game. If money were no object I would have the Black Ops irons in my bag.
7 iron with 28 degrees of loft 😮….my X16 pro 5 iron is 27 degrees…. so now I would hit the 7 where now I use the 5... I would be really curious to try them on the course to understand how they perform(spin and forgiveness) compared to my vintage irons.
I was wondering why three irons have disappeared from so many sets, make sense now that the 4 iron is stronger lofted than old school 3-irons... going to be interesting when they max this out and can't Jam anymore weights lower to get the ball up in the air as high as it needs to be for approach...
Yep! My mate a 9 handicap games G430 irons and hid 7 iron goes 200 yards! Hence he carries five wedges! His irons start at 6 iron then PW at 41 carries a 45, 50, 54 and 60.
Nice looking, I got my son a second hand set of core 2 0211 xp irons for £200 and he absolutely rips them , he's only been playing for just about a year and sends 9 iron 170 , what's the price of them? Keep them coming mate.
They are nice looking but they look like all the other brands PXG always looked different I guess there’s only so much you can do but the are really nice looking
They look like weapons James quite shocked you were fitted for these after you were using the TAKOMO irons for a bit . But each to there own matey if they work and you like them will let Gaz or Chris have your life 😂😂
When I got back into golf a few years ago I bought a set of 0211 irons. They worked great. They went miles though. I think they would make my game easier now that I have a better swing. Swinging easier but still getting the carries I want could be a good thing. If I were going with a more game improvement style iron then those BlackOps would definitely be on the list.
Well, the 7 iron has 28° loft, so it is a 5 iron. Shouldn't be too surprised if it goes 200 yards... I personally don't mind the number on it. Seem to be good irons though.
I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on comparison of the Ping G730, PXG Black Ops, Tour Edge E723 and the Wilson Dynapower irons. In the individual videos on these clubs you give them high marks for forgiveness, something I dearly need, but I would like to see you put them head to head.
I’m confused why can’t a pga professional use game improvement irons? If helps your game who cares? When I played in college in early 90’s I was only player not using blades. I’m not a huge worker of the ball play a slight cut so it would be stupid to play a set of irons harder to hit. The goal is to make game as easy as possible. If playing all woods would save me a stroke a round that’s what I’d play.
Looks great, but if PXG named them "Black Ops" then why are they made chrome and not black? The name and the color don't make any sense. Major marketing flaw!
Black Ops is a military term meaning a secret mission, just like 0311 is the MOS (military occupation specialty) of a Marine Infantry, all military know what these mean. All their clubs are named after a military term, mostly Marines. Bob Parsons is a Marine veteran
I am drinking the PXG Kool-Aid. I just received my Gen 7 irons. Do you think Bob Parsons is the Eli Callaway of the 21st century?
Reading Bob Parson's book "Fire in the Hole" now. Fascinating person. Great video, James.
Same here…same opinion about Bob 👍
I adamantly agree with your take on game improvement irons James. So many people could really receive help with them. Very good video!

I have an PXG Driver and the TAKOMO Irons also ! Love them!!!!!
Hi James. Which iron did you like better between the black ops and takomo 101.
7 iron with 28 degrees of loft 😮….my X16 pro 5 iron is 27 degrees…. so now I would hit the 7 where now I use the 5... I would be really curious to try them on the course to understand how they perform(spin and forgiveness) compared to my vintage irons.

Recently got the gen 3 0311p irons love them
They look awsome weapons James
It's not about how far you hit your seven iron. It's about consistency and predictably.
Yep! My mate a 9 handicap games G430 irons and hid 7 iron goes 200 yards! Hence he carries five wedges! His irons start at 6 iron then PW at 41 carries a 45, 50, 54 and 60.
Great video. One of your best
Nice are they forged or cast irons
That wedge shot at the end is gona keep me up tonight lol
Great video! Love PXG
How would you compare them to the Ping 730's?
I’ve got a set of 0211 original irons James and love them they are cast but when you hit them they feel like butter
Crazy how they manage that isn’t it
I have the 0211 s too, just struggling to hold greens with lower spin, they do feel great. ⛳⛳
@@JamesRobinsonGolf yep my mate used my 7 iron was amazed when I told him that they were cast not Forged irons
Great video they look very nice might have to find a stockists to try them.

this is such a well done video.
Blades are better to chip with. By far. And chipping is a big part of the pro game….plus working the ball. But more pro golfers are using mixed sets
They are nice looking but they look like all the other brands PXG always looked different I guess there’s only so much you can do but the are really nice looking
Love the look but I can't pay $1100 5-gw. I will wait for a few years and get them for 400
Just buy the xcore2 now, plays the same!
I bet PING were happy when 3 of there designers and lead engineer left to work at PXG!!!! It’s no surprise PXG are good
How do these compare to the 0211 XCORE 2? They seem really close to one another.
Yeah I thought that, I had those irons they were great tbh
gaming the 0211 irons now. think i found my next set.
James what shaft you have in those irons?
DG 120 mate
Pleas test the snake eyes forgiving irons
How good did they look🔥
They look like weapons James quite shocked you were fitted for these after you were using the TAKOMO irons for a bit . But each to there own matey if they work and you like them will let Gaz or Chris have your life 😂😂
Same club as the x core 2!

So PXG Black Ops or Eleven Hybrid irons?
I personally prefer the look of the black ops irons they look so good
7 or 5 iron? 😳 They look nice but let’s see the distance of each club,,,,does the 3 iron go 300 yards? 🤷♀️
Well, the 7 iron has 28° loft, so it is a 5 iron. Shouldn't be too surprised if it goes 200 yards...
I personally don't mind the number on it. Seem to be good irons though.
Nice
As a USMC vet Id love to support PXG but hard to beat the price of a Mizuno pro 245 or a Takomo or Maltby...luckily they don't need my $😂
PXG offers a Heroes Discount, at least give it a look
Half price for vets and more shaft options
James when are you bringing a golf towel out matey I've been asking now for above a year come on matey sort it 👍
Dang did u hit that #7 iron 210 yds lol..
Not a little bit of offset, it’s turned right angles😂, left left left fore!
Why didn’t these make your “best of 2024” list??
Ah the pxg stealths
Those look like sleath hd irons
PXG might make the best looking clubs, even though I don’t have any! 😫
At the end of the day, nobody cares what type of clubs you are using, the scorecard is what matters.
Edit: those are some great looking irons.

I do agree! I think the same for a long time. Especially concerning low hcp players.
Ego
@@darrylmeredith2534im absolutely okay with someone laughing at my clubs as long as I take the money.
I totally agree, every review by decent golfers saying how easy improvement clubs are to use but afraid to lose face if seen with them 😬😵💫
More tour pros are moving to combo sets, hybrids, and even 5 and 7 woods outside long irons.
I love the look of pxgs… unfortunately they are way out of my budget.. one day I might be able to afford the 0211… but that’s a big maybe.
Pxg goes on about its fitting rxcellence. What a joke!! Ordered 9 irons 3 degree flat. Two weeks later they arrive……..3degrees UPRIGHT. Great fitting?
Looks great, but if PXG named them "Black Ops" then why are they made chrome and not black? The name and the color don't make any sense. Major marketing flaw!
They have black too relax

This has nothing to do with your video, sorry Robbo, but I got my 3rd ever hole in one today and felt like sharing 😎
Good work mate congrats 🙌
Thompson Kevin Garcia William Young Paul
These don’t look like a pxg iron. Don’t mean it as good or bad just not their typical look.
It's Scottsdale Arizona, not Arizona Scottsdale. Fyi
Brown Lisa Wilson Donna Moore Cynthia

Sorry, but they look like a shovel.
First comment?
But that sound though.....no thank you
Not another best ever…..
Cheer up Ron. We will all be dead soon and it won’t matter will it
It's become tiresome,e to hear you say "is this the best". Change the script writer.
John… if we don’t strive to find the best then what’s the point. I’m sorry you’re having a bad week. Life’s too short. Cheer up
