I got my gen 6 irons with a 10 gram weight. These are absolutely phenomenal. The shaft I was fitted for is a true temper dynamic gold x-100-X. They feel amazing

[@rhawksfam]

Guess I'm a late adopter 🙂 Just bought a set of gen 5's. I tend to appreciate "close out" pricing. Loved the way the ball flew and the feel and sound during the fitting. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get out and use them on the course!

[@Xrayg219]

i just got the gen 5 too ... was not much different between the 2 for me ... there was maybe a bit more ball speed for gen 6 but not enough to justify and extra 600 for the same set ..

[@suprand]

Tested mizuno forged jpx 923 forged. Thought they were going in the bag this year. Went to pxg and wow! Gen 6 on order. Feel and dispersion won me over. Surprisingly I gained 10 to 15 yards which surprised me since the jpx forged and gen 6 7 iron were lofted exactly the same. The adjustable head weight truly is great. Went up 10 grams.

[@Ryan-si2zb]

But gen 6 are way more expensive that the jpx 923 forged

[@Xrayg219]

i got fitted for gen 5 and love them .. went with a mixed set xp in 5,6,7 and p in 8,9,w and g .... have to say for 50 bucks you cant beat the fitting process and experience and the clubs overall are great .. even went with the steelfiber shafts which i see you have as well .. game changer .. i cant wait to see if they start to fit with the axiom shafts soon

[@scott48]

Tremendous review. I’m waiting for delivery of my new G6 Irons. Hands down best feeling performing for me. Will be sad to retire my G5’s but looking forward to taking my golf buddies money more this year. 🤣👍🏻👍🏻

[@hmcgrath83ify]

I just got the Gen 5 0311 XP and I love them! I will definitely play these clubs for the next few years. Then maybe get the Gen 8 when they come out.

[@rusty7318]

At this rate that'l be 2 years

[@m.m.-rw6cs]

I just got my Gen6 P irons after being fitted by phone. I have played the first generation of PXG irons but there is no comparison. The Gen6 looks sleek, feel soft and are absolutely stunning. I played Ping i525 and Srixon ZX5 but my feeling with PXG is much better in terms of control, tighter dispersion and overall performance. The other irons were fitted too so it’s perhaps better fitter and better product which makes the difference. I guess I have found my holy grail and will stay with the brand for a long time.

[@johnlynch6778]

Hi Andy. I tried the gen 6 p specifically for the head weight adjustability. I’m 6 foot 5 but at nearly 60 my swing speed is heading south. My 1 inch over mavrik pro irons swing weight at D9 and are directly contributing to a slower swing speed. The gen 6 at 38.25 inches (+1.25 inches) gave me an extra 10 yards on a cut and up to 20 yards if I hit a draw. Lovely club and very controllable. The only issue I have is that you have to select the tungsten weight at the fit as it’s glued in place at build and cannot be removed for a heavier or lighter weight at a future date. I was very surprised by that. I found it had to decide between the 8 gram weight which put the swing weight to d8 or the lighter 6 gram weight. Fitter suggested the 8 gram but I’m not convinced, it might be this issue than stops me purchasing the clubs.

[@Robert-Brockway]

I've been watching your reviews the last couple years and you always offer good insight . Just got fit for the GEN6 XP irons. The performance on off center strikes were impressive. They look and feel great. Thanks Andy!

[@hurfdurfy8167]

Well, I hit both the P and T models today, and they're absolutely amazing in both cases. I'm just not quite good enough for the T, but they both felt fantastic and sound great. Thanks for the review!

[@campbellst1]

Did PXG pay for your travel & accommodation in Arizona for the customer fit? Perhaps you should declare this at the start of the review.

[@shannonkutz521]

Thanks for the feedback! I have the gen 5 and really enjoy them. Feel and sound great.. is there a huge difference in feel with the gen 6 to switch now or should I just wait for the next release? Always love the videos!

[@kourt2469]

I tried both last week in a fitting. Not much feel difference between the two for me. The gen 6 were just slightly longer, maybe 2-3 yards. I ended up going with the gen 5 because the price was so much cheaper and performance was basically identical

[@craigtalbot9316]

Andy what setup did u go for in the gen6? Set make up, shaft etc?

[@CHuzz7777]

Yep, I’m in the market for a new set of irons and these are definitely on my radar. Some of the close ups seemed to show your irons were a little nicked and beaten up already though which is a bit of a concern. My Ping’s don’t look much different after nearly 7 years of constant use.

[@Xrayg219]

they are forged so yes they will get nicked up , buy some iron head covers if this concerns you ... but you will never fell a softer sweeter hitting iron like something that's forged .. ( i had the srixon zx5 same thing with them ) pings are cast which is a much harder steel.. go for a 50 dollar iron fitting .. you will see its a game changer especially since now they have their own stores .. none of the other brands have this detail, availability or service

[@CHuzz7777]

@@Xrayg219 Fair enough. I don’t like head covers but I wince at the thought of £1200 worth of irons all nicked up within days. Ha - it’s a nice problem to have I guess!! I’m in south west England so there are no PXG stores here but there is one golf club that is an official PXG fitting site not too far from me so I may give them a call.

Fitted with Nippon and GP MCC, nearly twice the price of a Mizuno club. You doesn't must pay by Mizuno for other shaft and grips🤗

[@mariofonseca9267]

Andy what model do you play at the moment? Gen3? I just picked up a Sunday set (4,7,9,GW) for $99 a stick based on how highly you still speak of the Gen3 P’s.

[@cameronhubbs]

Made a huge mistake trying these yesterday. My current Taylormade P790’s are now available for sale if anyone is interested

[@loutennant99]

Andy. I live in Italy now. I play gen3 irons and sugar daddy wedges. I’m looking to change this year but looks like a drive into Switzerland to fit. I was fitted for Mizuno 923’s and ordered but that’s gone missing somewhere. In your opinion gen6 worth the drive rather than more Mizuno chasing (that was a two hour drive to fit those 😂😂)

[@mattneedham3595]

In terms of a fitting it seems pretty specialist. You got fitted by a PXG fitter. Would you suggest someone goes down that route or would the fitter and your normal stores be able to dial in for you like a PXG fitter with all the knowledge

[@Xrayg219]

getting fitted at a pxg store is a no brainer .. its 50 bucks .. for 1.5 hour fit ... then if you buy they custom build the clubs for you .. nothing off the rack there ..really great prices on gen 5 now .. not much diff , i went in there on a whim just to see what it was all about and left there as if i had my own fitting van .. ive been fit at club champ and pga super store as well .. this is the best hands down

[@markblance8492]

Those clubs sound amazing. So soft, no click or thwack

[@candidaprout8441]

The main thing that separates them is the outrageous price.

[@user-cj2bm8nn8k]

Love the videos keep up the great job Andy. Would you think the waiting system for the irons is worth it to get fit if you have been playing on and off for years and are not a constant with your swing ?

[@Barkingtoad1]

Was fitted today for the gen 7 irons , I’ve always been a P player but was fitted into the XP , must be getting old but a swing of 78-81 carrying 165-170 felt effortless, wonder if it’s time to leave the ego at home .

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Totally agree why make it more difficult

[@Barkingtoad1]

@@TheAverageGolfer I get iron distances similar to you with the same swing speed , question is do i really need more distance?

[@thilopukall6181]

That is true, PxG is the only company with adjustable weights in irons. Even in some of their wedges. Any Player that uses longer shafts, even if its just 0,25 inch, profits from a possible weight reduction of the head. Adding weight is easy with any iron, with lead tape. Taking weight off is not. Adding weight to the butt end of the shaft to get the swingweight down does not suit every player. From a business perspective it’s stunning to see the big firms like Titleist and Callaway, letting Pxg chomp away on their market share like that. Since Pxg brought their prices significantly, they become bigger every year

[@fretless05]

I do like PXG as a company, but the claim that they are the only one that can change weighting on the irons just isn't true. Off the top of my head, I can name the Edel irons, which have sported 3 weight ports in the back for adjustment as well.

[@canyonaro]

Callaway Apex MB has the central swingweight port as well. It's rare but they're definitely not the only ones.

[@paulbuzzard5366]

Do you know if they go down to 4 degrees flat in all the Iron's.could you find out, many thanks Buzz

[@kourt2469]

Their website shows the gen 6 can be ordered 3 degrees flat. If you really need 4 I'm sure any competent clubfitter could adjust them an additional 1 degree after the fact.

[@aspencer09]

Did you see the black version too Andy? Which do you prefer, silver or black??

[@davidpellow6671]

Can’t say I’m a fan of the dual coloured on gen 5 and 6. Gen4s still the best looking

[@stevetroiano9902]

These look beautiful, however I'm not convinced that swing weight might be adjusted much during a custom fit - perhaps with the one large weight in the Gen6 they will do it. I went for a custom fit of Gen4 XP irons when Gen5 were first introduced in order to receive the best deal possible. While the Gen4 can be adjusted with the smaller screws, when I was at the Philly store they told me they don't even stock the weighting H/W and all of that has to be done at assembly in AZ. My order was put in at D0 across the 7 clubs and when I received them and had them checked, they were all over the map from C8 to D1. I raised this issue after fact with the fitter and he said they can check them but then have to ship them to AZ for adjustment. I love them but just gave up on the re-weighting since I didn't want to take all that time.

[@pastorjason4337]

Love your stuff, but the average golfer (pun intended) can't afford these clubs. I love for you that you can go get fitted for a new set every time they come out, I would love to be able to to also. That said, as much as I would love a full set of PXG Gen 6 and think they are some of the best stuff out there, I am still playing 15 year old irons and nearly that in a driver. Not whining just not sure how many people these are a real option for. Price prohibitive gear for most of us.

[@walkerscarpetcare]

If you have 15 year old irons, and don't want to spend the money on Gen6 do what I did and go get fitted for 0211 Xcor2 irons. Less than half the price of Gen6, and they perform great.

[@GRIFF22]

Big problem with PXG irons, is that Gen4, 5 & 6 are basically identical. And every single steel shaft except their stock Elevate shaft, is £30-50 extra. Golf Pride grips are extra as well. So you're looking at £270/280 per iron for a bog standard KBS or Dynamic Gold

[@MXJEFF94]

Clearly you know nothing about PXG. The gen4 to 5 was a massive difference and they changed their inner materials. The 5 to 6 with the thinner face was also a big difference. No one and I mean no one is reinventing the wheel on golf clubs in 2023. It’s incremental improvements

[@canyonaro]

This is a benefit, not a problem. You can buy gen4 CHEAP now. I bought gen3 after gen4 came out and I'm still playing them. They're wonderful.

[@OnlyKeekin]

The ad for this video was gen 6 irons

[@aaronlindquist9158]

I have the gen 6 black ops full bag and yes they are overpriced but they are the best clubs I have ever had, minus the driver, I have not been a fan of it. However, the customer service has been atrocious, they won’t return emails or text messages. With that reason I don’t recommend these clubs. You will pay premium price then they will ignore you . Just go to your local shop and get fitted.

[@charlieboylol527]

They look great thanks 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

[@scottysmusickauai]

I'm disappointed PXG made the Gen 6 irons so you can't change the rear large center weight on your own. I want to experiment with the 8, 10 and 12 weight without having to ship the irons back to PXG everytime. Dumb!!!!! I don't mind tightening the weight on my own periodically.

I think its the economy and because the entire industry was bloated due to covid and now things are going back to normal.

[@-Thunder]

Peter Finch just interviewed Bob Parson on his channel and Bob basically said he expected the economy to depress the Golf market for a while. He also said they planned on adding more stores. Launching the cheaper 0211 clubs along with direct sales probably put PXG in as good a spot as any company.

PXG certainly been getting all youtubers to support their stuff. Trips, full bag fittings, i am sure free clubs. I don't see how anyone can recommend PXG when they sell wedges for $500. I mean $1,000 for 2 wedges alone??? Sorry. I guess if they give you all the clubs for free then it makes sense

[@dennysmith2291]

Average golfers cannot pay abnormal prices

[@ericjones5291]

PXG pricing is not remotely high compared to other companies these days. Yes, they have a crazy expensive wedge on the market. Driver is less than all the other major brands (titleist, TM, Callaway, Ping, etc). These new irons are slightly more than the average set but not like they used to be and not the most expensive out there. Using the cost argument is lazy.

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Your prices are wrong. We get it, you’re a PXG hater.

[@PFunkChang]

If these irons were good they wouldn’t be .370 tips with sloppy fitting ferrules to act as shims.

[@kourt2469]

.370 hosels allow for more options in shaft selection. If you go .355 you immediately eliminate all .370 shaft options barring someone reams out the hosel to accept a larger diameter. If you start at .370 you can always add a shaft tip shim and still use other sizes. It's smart considering their focus on custom fit

[@Lee-kb3lw]

I have to laugh. The pxg heads are built in Asia, the shafts are built in asia. pxg glues the shaft to the head and puts on a grip that is also built in asia , if you call that a club built in USA you are a fool
