![]() With the similarities covered, let’s dig a bit deeper into what distinguishes the 0211 from previous PXG iron offerings. This one is admittedly subjective and certainly open to some personal interpretation, but PXG says the new model offers the same exceptional sound and feel as its GEN2 irons. It’s a forgiveness-boosting feature that makes for an effectively larger face without increasing the size of the clubhead. It’s a design which leverages an undercut cavity and moves the weld lines between the two pieces to the outer perimeter of the club (as opposed to on the face itself). ![]() Like the 0311 GEN2, it offers an internal face perimeter cut-out. The 0211 features the same face material (HT1770 maraging steel) as the 0311 GEN2, which works in conjunction with PXG’s more responsive second generation COR2 polymer material – the goo filling that allows for the thinnest iron face on the market – to preserve ball speed across the whole of the face. We’ll get to what surely qualifies as a significant difference in a bit, but there are inarguable similarities in the construction. With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that there’s a fair amount of overlap between the 0211 and the 0311, so it makes sense to begin by explaining how the two iron families are alike. PXG has put a significant amount of effort into ensuring its new mainstream-ish iron offers performance on par with other PXG offerings. The company hasn’t abandoned its guiding principles of quality, innovation, and performance either. “It’s still really good,” says company founder and CEO, Bob Parsons. Accessibility and something closer to affordability have a way of changing perceptions.Īs you’d expect, a few trade-offs were necessary to hit 0211’s more consumer-friendly price point, but PXG didn’t give up much in the way of performance. Given its significantly reduced price, the new PXG iron should reach more golfers, likely including some who, to date, have professed to despise the brand. With that in mind, I give you the 0211 iron. And while it’s true a good number of PXG’s customers aren’t overly concerned (or any concerned) about the cost, there is an as yet untapped market of potential PXG customers who might be swayed by the introduction of a more affordable offering. I mean, good luck getting your spouse to sign-off. ![]() It’s not the kind of purchase that goes unnoticed on the home front. Hit any iron consistently and it doesn't matter what the MPF score is.It’s not blowing even a little smoke to suggest there is a segment of golfers who are drawn to the PXG brand but find the current asking price for its irons a little too bougie. Just a couple of photos on the TS-1 and a Hogan. It can be argued all day long but these are my personal findings. Playing an iron the score well on the MPF is definitely more forgiving. Like placing the ball when ever I wanted. My personal Hogans were amazing when my swing was grooved. An iron that does not score well is less tolerant of a ball not in the sweet spot. If you hit a club that scores high on thr MPF it's fairly obvious that there is a higher level of forgiveness when hitting all over the face. This is certainly proven every day by players whose irons may score low on the MPF. You take any design and hit it in the irons sweet spot and it will perform to incredible levels. Longer hosel, shorter blade length, shorter face height. If you quickly take a visual look at a Maltby TS-1 PW and a Hogan Icon PW. ![]() The formula they use promotes a shorter hosel. While I'm certainly not an expert on this I do understand what the MPF can readily point out on certain build principals.
