It would help when you're explaining the club's performance characteristics, if you would zoom in on the graphs so we could see them better.
All the data is available on our website Al, links in the description. We will look at this for future videos.
Great review! I’m playing a combo set in the “t” gap to 7 and “p” 5 & 6. Absolutely love them. Shot my best round to date a 75 with 2 three putts. Don’t even play that often, but the tungsten weights really help make them forgiving. I picked these over the 225 because they offered more forgiveness in the short irons. The 225 goes to just a blade type iron and you lose the tungsten. I also play 1/2” over, but prefer D2 in the mid/long irons and D3 in the short/wedges. No problem getting those specs with the adjustable center weight.
Really appreciate the feedback Robert, good to hear you love the mixed set, nice choice.
Great review gentlemen, so much good information and feedback about feel and looks!! I'm really liking those new PXG Gen 5 irons. Well done guys!
Thanks for taking the time to say so Donny, appreciate the feedback.
I've been looking for this video like this for a while. Great job.
Thanks Chris, glad we could help.
Really great video. Excellent comparisons. Subscribed.
Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate you taking the time.
I'm of 7 .. I play a high ball into greens.. recently had a fitting for 0211xcore2.. they listened to how I play my shots, as I don't take a divot, I pick the ball clean of the turf, so they altered shaft weight Ballance loft lie angle, within a few minutes I was sorted, I kid you not I had high ball in slight fade with 85% groupage.. bought a set there and then ..plus driver 0211
Great stuff, thanks for your input David.
This video was perfect in every way.
Thanks so much for saying so, glad were could help. 👍
Are there any User adjustments a player can make to the Gen 5XP irons ? Great videos guys !!
Excellent video, you get to the key points. Well done
Thanks Michel, really appreciate you taking the time to feedback.
0211 seems like such a great set. You get the best of the P’s and the XP’s.
Really great review...thank you. It would be interesting to put the PXG 0211 XCOR2 up against the Cobra Forged Tec X. I'm a mid-handicap player that needs help with off center strikes -- and a little extra distance 🙂. Looking closely at both of these models.
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Brian, really appreciate it.
We've literally just got our Cobra Forged Tec X samples, we'll see what we can do with a test.
If it helps I love my xcor 2 and they’re like half the price right now
Bot Gen5 XP but weakened loft to roughly P levels. Love’ ‘em.
Nice shout Tom.
Thanks - Good Review - Just got the PXG Gen5 P .....
Good choice Kenny.
Great comparison. Very helpful info.
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Eric, really appreciate it.
Love the content guys. Will there be any issues holding the green with the XP model?
Thanks Cade. Completely depends on the player and shaft set-up.
Best way is to go try them, you'll see for yourself whether shots are peaking out at the high you want. If they don't, and you're a reasonably consistent ball striker look possibly at the slightly more lofted P.
Hope that helps.
I got fitted by PXG for the 0211 XCor2. I'm 46 and have arthritis (bad knees and hip) which has caused me to lose a ton of speed. For instance, a solid strike on a 7-iron has been 150 yards. The fitter put me in a A-flex, 50g Project X Cypher graphite shaft. Left to my own devices I would have never chosen that shaft. I would've went R in something steel, so I'm curious to see how this works out. This graphite shaft is A-flex, but it has a reinforced lower section so it's more stable and I can actually feel the clubface in my swing. I'm psyched to try it out. They deliver next week!
Great to hear, thanks for your input, let us know how they go.
@@todaysgolfer Got them 2 weeks ago and so far not so good. My old gamers are Tour Edge C522 irons with KBS Max R flex steel. I hit my old gamers easily 10 yards further and better dispersion. I've still got 2 more weeks with the PXGs, but right now I'm leaning towards returning them. Bummed.
@@dukefan37923 Sorry to hear that, is it the shaft you think you're struggling with? Could they be changed?
I got the 0211 DC irons.. paid only $75 an iron for them, I’d say they are every bit as premium as anything on the market
Thanks for your input Nate, they are a cracking iron.
Great review, great combination of reviewers in general. Super geek vs Super pro. Although I'm sure Simon Daddow could destroy me on any course , and bore me death in the club house after with his little black book of figures.
Thanks so much for the feedback Ronnie, appreciate you taking the time.
How big do the 0211 xcor2 look? Say compared to what I'm currently playing the G30 irons, smaller larger? Very interested in these but fitting is almost 2 hours for me. Thanks for the video, very informative!
Thanks for the feedback Jamie, really appreciate you taking the time. The 0211 XCOR2 are a progressive set. So the long irons would not be to far away from a G30, where the shorts are much approaching P790 territory.
Hope that helps?
I'm in the same boat as you, currently play the G30's with the CFS steel shafts R flex. I'm looking closely at the xcor2's. Let me know if you end up going that route, I'd like to know how they compare.
@@ronnieortez5999 The XCOR2 are a nicer, more attractive shape for sure.
Difference between GEN 4T model and gen 5T-Model , more spin more distance?7 iron numbers
Have the 223s - they’re great but they get very blade like in the 8-PW. So very much of a blended set and really imho aimed a a blade player wanting forgiveness in the long irons. I can make them work don’t get me wrong just end up with some dispersion issues as the 8-PW vs 7-4 are constructed differently. Ex. My 7 will go about 175/180 and be consistent in the 170s carry range. The 8 (where the it goes to a blade style iron) I get 165 on a pure strike but really end up more in 155 territory more consistently. That 10 yard punishment it very typical of a more blade like club.
I’m searching for more continuity and forgiveness through the bag. Looking toward the PXG T irons. My main issue is I have a decent swing speed but don’t always hit the middle. The PXG p irons would be on the radar BUT - they’re probably going to go a bit too far with the stronger lofts.
Is my thought process accurate is looking at the PXG T irons. Was also considering the new i230 but the PXGs offered way more fitting options as well as a trial period. Thoughts???
Sounds like you're thinking along the right lines Jon. The PXG T and i230 are cracking options, we'd be interested to hear your feedback on the sound/feel between them as both faces are entirely supported - hence why Ping are saying 'forged like feel' about the 230's.
We like the term 'muscle cavity' for the 223's and TM P7MC.
@@todaysgolfer Ended up actually going with the PXG Gen 5 0311 - P irons. The Pings are good - but enjoyed all the options you can configure from PXG. Went P over T - simply on performance - they are basically a 1 club longer than the 223s, which is also what your data is showing. For me, the PXGs are point-and-shoot....they required much less work than the 223s did. P.S. the fitter (who was a +2 hcp) mentioned he played with P irons too...I asked him why (i.e. not the T irons or mixed set). He said "Why would I...with the Ps I don't really have to worry about getting there and can take that variable out of the equation" Not gonna lie - it almost feels like cheating with the hollow body irons....they seriously go far even when you put an absolutely terrible swing on it. You can also swing less hard which also helps you make better contact.
The ironic thing is - the 223s actually made me a way better ball striker in a shorter amount of time b/c you saw and felt what a good swing was and more importantly was NOT. You also had to make better judgment calls b/c you were promised a distance as well as had to take punishment and not let it ruin the next hole - so helped all around with the mental side. So when I got the forgiveness out of the PXGs it made me appreciate it and more importantly how to use it to get lower scores.
@@JonMoore1 Great stuff Jon, glad you've got a set-up you understand and love. The P are a cracking choice.
How do I know what lie angle and which shaft is best for me
To me, the closest comparison of the 0211 XCOR2 is the Cobra Forged Tec and Forged Tec X. Both (or all 3) are in the gray area between players distance and game improvement but look much more like players distance than the G425, Rogues, Stealths, or other game improvement irons. How do the Forged Tec and Forged Tec X compare to the 0211 XCOR2?
Thanks for the input Taylor. We've just received our Forged Tea X samples so haven't had the chance to put them up against anything else yet. #WatchThisSpace
I’ve had my right arm reattached for me a club that is inch and a half to 2 inches long allows me to play my best golf I prefer senior shaft or regular shaft MMT 60 or 50 with this be playable with swing weight?
Hi Tell, you really need to work with a fitter on this, PXG will be able to help through a fitting.
Can u make the graphs a little blurrier? I could almost understand them but may as well blur them out completely so I don’t wast 10 minutes trying to decipher them
Stop the video and zoom in, it's what I always do. I am on a mac air and it is easy to do, I do not know about PC though.
Any chance you will do the same review for the gen 5 woods and hybrids
We're yet to receive our GEN5 fairway wood and hybrid samples, it's possible once we do.
Cheers guys, I've just bought Gen3 0311 on a stupid deal, will I be losing much from Gen3 to 5?
According to PXG the difference between GEN3 - GEN5 P models is 6.4 YDS in distance and 30.5% in dispersion.
Big difference in the space of two generations.
Hope that helps.
Any chance you would review the PXG 0211 Z hybrid irons for us seniors?

Great review! Please move your head so we can see the yardage 😎
Thanks Mike, apologies fro encroaching on the data screen. You can view all the dat on our website review page (bit.ly/3EBf0xI) if that helps.
All with a 5-iron spin for what is now called a 7-iron, pathetic what the companies have done making people THINK they are hitting the ball further with a 7-iron when they are actually hitting their OLD 6 or 5-irons.....LOL
Plus I am a highball hitter and am afraid to see what these new clubs will do when I hit them as I was looking into the PXG and Ping i525 irons. I guess I need to hit them see what my numbers are and go from there but when I hit the green I want my damn ball to stop real close to where it lands, Just like what my Adams Idea Tech V3 forged clubs do they hit and stick, or spin back a bite!!!!
These clubs don't seem to have very sharp grooves to make the ball spin to stop, thinking that the ball coming from a high drop with little spin and hoping It stops isn't science IMO.
I play in Kansas with lots of wind and greens get fairly hard and I want my ball to STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a very in-depth review and much appreciated, Thank You, Guys!!
Who cares what number the club has on it. Get your gapping and spin numbers where you want them and play golf. You have more options than ever to find clubs that suit YOU.
Eventually there will be no irons. Sets will have a driver, fw, 2 hybrids, and then a 3 wedge, 4 wedge, 5 wedge on down to a 9 wedge, pitching wedge and sand wedge.
@@stevesparks7927 Companies just need to just put the LOFT on the bottom anymore, instead of the so-called iron number, it's getting stupid hearing how far a companies clubs are going nowadays, well yea, when a standard #7 iron is now a 5 iron, NO WONDER you hit that 7 iron further. And what's stupid is PEOPLE believe they are hitting the ball further with OVERHYPED BS Advertising....LOL
Great Review! Thank You for the granular data and comparisons. The 0211 Xcore2 look so nice and I love the progressive set idea. Best of both worlds all jammed into a forgiving powerhouse! Just wish PXG would do a end of summer discount now! Its The Season in Palm Beach FL and want to game them ASAP! 😉🏌♂
Thanks for the feedback Stephen, really appreciate you taking the time.
