What's going on guys? I'm here at the UK headquarters of PXG. Cool this new clubs out on the market.

I'm stoked to have the opportunity to hit the much hyped Gen 3 irons. We're going to test them out. We're going to have a little look through the different heads that we have there and I'm going to tell you about my swing, how each club looks, and basically tell you why you should be considering some PXG sticks in the near future.

I've been hoping to hit some PXG clubs for quite a while guys, all right? So, I really do feel as though it's a nice match up. I think the way that PXG has brought themselves to the market, done things differently, but also truly believed in what they're doing, being able to take the game to a different level is right there with where we're at guys, all right?

We're looking to change the game. We're looking to bring things differently to you to the golfers out there so that you can put yourself in a position to play your best golf. Whether that is health, fitness, putting yourself physically in a position to create more speed, more power, and basically a more efficient swing, or if you get some of the sickest golf clubs around to help you with your consistency, with your distance, and striking, etc.

As well guys, all right? So, I'm going to have a little look through all of these different heads. We got TrackMan stacked up here.

I'm already loose. I've hit a few shots. I'm with dialed in guys, all right?

Feeling pretty good. Obviously, got my DG's in there. Can't wait to get some X7s out there as well.

That's going to be a real match up guys, all right? But I'm going to go through the heads. You got the T, you got the P, and you got the XP.

And the first impression through all three heads is there's very little difference looking down from head to head. It's not as if you go from the players iron, which is the T, to the slightly more game improvement irons, and it's just a totally different deal where the bigger irons almost look like woods and massive things. Basically, with these there's a very nice seamless transition up through the back.

And you'll see a lot of the best players probably having that combo set. And I'll be exactly why. So, I have used the Callaway Razor MBs for a long time.

So, I managed to pick up a couple of sets with the tour van a little while ago. I've tried other things in the meantime, but I've always come back to them. I love how they look, how they feel, and basically I'm pretty stuck on them guys, all right?

You have to wrestle them out of my hands to some extent. But, the look on these irons is cool. First impressions, I'm in guys, all right?

They feel good. They look good. And I'm going to show you some performance, too.

So, this is my new friend, the XP. So, before trying them out, if you had said a game improvement iron would be something that I liked, I'd have been at least a little bit suspect. But, this damn thing looks fantastic.

Looking down from the top, it looks cool guys, all right? There's really no massive offset. There's no massive difference from a player's iron.

It just performs. I think the coolest thing with this, I have seen a bit of a jump with this one. I'll show you my numbers in a second.

This one goes further, but it is stronger lofted and it is designed for the player to get some help out there. So, basically, this is a player this is an iron that is going to give you as much help as possible, but still look like an iron. It's not going to look like a hybrid.

It's not going to have a bunch of offset. I get a little bit more turnover on these shots just because it's more offset than I'm used to. But basically, this is a damn solid iron.

And if I wanted to get out there and just absolutely drop bombs with my 7-iron, I'd put this in the bag. So, that XP guys, check out some numbers. We nailed it.

TrackMan, thank you very much. Good night. That's how you hit 7-iron, y'all.

So, if the XP was something that we liked, no doubt the P and the T are going to be something pretty cool as well. So, that is probably the main thing. Why not do things a little differently?

That's kind of what we do. The whole image of golf is changing a lot and I think the whole disruptor tag, perfect. Let's disrupt.

Let's change it up a little bit. Not for not to take the game away from any certain areas, but to bring it to others, for sure. All right?

We need to diversify. There's a You see the types of people playing golf now, it's a totally different deal guys, all right? So, let's embrace that.

Let's take it to different places. Stay true to it, but let's do things a little differently. And that's what these clubs are doing.

So, right here we got the P and the T. If you look at those sole grinds, the T, this side here is just a little thinner, a little bit more relief, and you got that slightly wider sole on the P guys, all right? They both look super cool.

They've got all the technology in there you could ask for and I'm going to now put the T back in the bag. This would be my choice because it's so close to what I have played for such a long time, but differences are bound guys, all right? I'm going to stack it up.

I'm going to hit you some shots, get you some numbers, and tell you why this is one of the coolest irons I've ever hit. So guys, the 0311 T. This is my iron.

Love how it looks guys, all right? It's got a nice compact look, great finish, and a few things are really important to me because the ball speed's creeping up a little. It's giving me a nice flight, but distance-wise it's more or less the same, or just a couple of yards, probably about 3-5 yards on average further than my current irons guys, all right?

But, things are really important to me. One is going to be the sole interaction with the ground and the leading edge. This is super sharp.

With the way it's designed, with the way it's finished, it gives it a really crisp connection to the ground, allows you to get right into the ball. That to me is extremely important. How that works, how you're allowing yourself to get that strike is a massive factor in terms of being consistent and making things work in time guys, all right?

Other than that, in terms of my numbers, I've seen a much more consistent angle of descent. So, the ball's coming into the green pretty much the same each time. Even if I don't quite get it right, we're more or less getting the same flight, which in terms of stopping the ball on the green is going to be huge going forward.

Outside of that, really is an efficiency thing because I have a much tighter range of all percentages off the numbers when using this compared to my current irons guys, all right? So, basically, all of this technology, all of the way that the weighting is taken around the head, how the face is designed, is making this just so consistent that even if I don't quite get it right, I'm still going to see the same shots as opposed to missing the green where I may have done in the past guys, all right? So, I'm a big fan of this iron.

I like the look. I like the feel. I think we could see it in the bag.

Numbers from the T iron. Swing feels pretty solid. Nothing too crazy today.

Loading up pretty well. And whenever you're indoors, you know, you just jump in a little bit. So, getting a little bit from the inside, but the flight pattern, the dispersion, we're pretty well spot on guys, all right?

So, check out the numbers on TrackMan. I like the way this looks. So, obviously a little bit down from the XP, which is a stronger lofted iron, more of a game improvement iron, and that's going to be expected.

These numbers here, pretty consistent. I have had further, but I'm somewhere between 175-180 carry. Just as a standard 7-iron shot today guys, all right?

But like I said, the amount of consistency I'm getting out of that iron is huge. Everything else is matching up really nicely. That's a good deal.

Okay, y'all. Don't say it too loud. I also got my hands on some of the ST milled irons.

These suckers are rich. These are pure gold guys, all right? This is money right here.

Ooh-wee. Now, that's a fine iron right there guys, all right? This is much more of a traditional straight-up blade style, but it's milled.

Now, that doesn't come easy guys, all right? That's all about time, effort, design, and putting everything into a set of sticks. And that's why you get something as cool as this guys, all right?

These things are super dope. Look at the finish. Look how it is.

Awesome at address. Now, you just got to figure out how to get yourself a set guys, all right? I'm thinking I might have to make it to the PGA tour, but hey, here's to trying.

Okay guys, so I've had the opportunity to hit the Gen 3 series irons from PXG and I am super impressed guys, all right? If you get the opportunity to try these out, you absolutely should. They're going to change your game almost the same way that we do.

You're going to see consistency. You're going to see more distance. And basically, you're going to have a super cool iron that you're going to love hitting wherever you're at.

Another cool aspect is that you can't just buy these off the rack. You have to get the exact right irons for you and you know that makes all the difference, all right? So, here's a plan for you.

Get yourself in best shape possible. Let's get fit. Let's get strong.

Let's make sure that when we hit this season, we are going to go all in. Then two, once your swing is matched up, get yourself to PXG. Try out some of the sickest clubs on the market.

See what they do for your game. And then, own 2020 guys, all right? Hope you've enjoyed this, all right?

I'll put a few more swings in there as well. Really do appreciate you watching. Make sure you subscribe.

Make sure you tell your friends. Make sure you go get yourself set PXG, obviously, but more importantly, play strong.
