PXG 0317 IRONS #pxg #irons #customfitting
In today’s video I am playing against @JamesRobinsonGolf with a new set of PXG 0317 IRONS!…
After my recent driver fitting with Sam Smith Golf, Golf Repairs 4 U, we discovered my preferred swing weight was D7!
Whilst my PING I230 IRONS are out of commission, I’ve taken the opportunity to try the NEW PXG 0317 IRONS with my preferred swing weight of D7!
……….
[Applause] welcome back to the channel guys as you know I’m in between clubs at minute with irons and these potentially could be my new set so let’s have a couple of rows James yeah we’ll play with these pxg ions I’ll tell you why they’re in the bag it’s not
A match it’s not a match what are we doing here it’s just testing the irons I’m just going to say if I win it’s a match it’s not a match but it’s a match right so we’ll play to walls I’ve got four ran we’re on a bit
Of a shorten course it’s it’s winter here everywhere got mud all over my head cover look wrong time for a pencil bag great strike flush great strike are you in driver yeah mate matching it oh here we go he’s straight in I thought it were Anon 250 into the wind this is
Perfect oh he’s that it go it wasn’t a very good strike to be honest but just pulling up a bit that’ll do he’s got first blowing though First Advantage so if you’ve been watching the videos guys you’ll know I’ve recently been for a fitting had a driver which
I’m absolutely in love with and I got measured at D7 James which is quite a heavy swing weight it is a heavy swing weight and I was quite surprised as to how in depth you went with that fitting and I think it’s kind of helping you
Know that these are the right clubs for you which obviously you need to know yeah and certainly when we measur the irons and you know obviously they came out at C9 swing we it really did you know obviously give me some answers to why I weren’t enjoying the feel of them
You know they felt very heavy were they they’re the Ping guy 230s so they you know lovely lovely iron just way too light in the head so with a pxg of course you’ve got the the weight ports in the head aen you yes and we’ve managed to get these irons swing
Weighted to D7 to feel like my driver and you know I can feel the head so much more yeah finding them a lot easier to swing so that’s why we’ve got them in the bag at the minute um and obviously a lovely looking head as well aren’t they they’re a great
Looking I I prefer the T version which is the hollow boded version a little bit more forgiveness but like in that set obviously it’s a bit of a a pro combo set isn’t it with kind of CBS High irons and Blaze low irons like I’ve got any
Tacos at the minute yeah it might might not be the the the irons I decided to go for it’s a bit of an experiment but at least of the right swing weight so I’m getting that feel you know for a club that I like yeah fair enough oh look at
Him he’s he’s enjoying himself today he playing well uh I’ve not got my laser in my bag but I’m going to have a guess it’s about 75 yards got a little 54 see we can put this close fly fly it’s a little bit short bad it’s just just pulled up a little
Bit it’s never enough was it but I’ve not put a 56 in the bag at the minute I’ve only got 60 and I’m finding it’s costing me a lot actually yeah it’s cuz we’ve been away and I’ve not kind of sorted my bag out properly since but probably wasn’t the shot there but
Trying to roll it in is there anything in your bag that isn’t Under Fire at the minute uh apart from the driver everything is going to be changed in this next 12 months and it’s a question I’ve been getting asked a lot about subscribers cuz they’ve seen me have the
Fitting with a driver and what you’re going to see in the next few weeks guys is that I’m going to be testing an experiment with different shafts and you know not just going straight in there and getting a fitting but doing a bit of experiment a bit of research first
Starting with like testing some graphite shafts a good video coming out where I try graphite shafts because if you speak to any fitter they will tell you that we’ll probably all be using graphite in next 10 years so I thought why wait 10 years let’s go and test it now why wait
Till you’re 50 mate then I would definitely need graph shops anyway I think maybe that’s what they were getting at right I think we’re going to be taking this to all seriously aren’t we oh no may you said it wasn’t a match I think it’s it’s definitely turned into a
Match get up he’s not hit it he’s not hit it and that’s not dead new putter required maybe there’s four of them I’ve got what Putters I’ve ordered four Putters can you believe it in this month why cuz I’m an absolute pervert on Putters you know what I’ve
Ordered what the new Ordy good good putter oh saw yeah yeah but $370 which is very expensive I think for standard Versa putter I’ll be reviewing that and probably giving it away over on my channel but I wanted to test it and see what it was like because there’s going
To be a lot of a lot of people talking about it isn’t there so and this I I imagine it’ll become quite limited wen’t they I I think so yeah like that I jumped on it really quickly uh yesterday so this to go oneup is it yeah get in you come
On a lot of people’s been asking for a match for me and James and do you know what James I’m going to start taking these matches a lot more seriously you’ve been saying that for how long have we know each other 15 years I’m not
Rushing to have a match in right cuz I have only got a driver in my bag that I’m Happ with at the minute everything else is it’s not settled yet does my bag look settled to you I don’t care look at the state of this bag does that look
Settle to you look at it stop blaming your tools and be a man one up one to play I even went to the dentist yesterday to get them polished for you so when I smiled afterwards you’d see you’d see the but also that is a little bit of redemption
Cuz that’s the hole where I missed that short one yeah it was so that for me that’s like David Beckham’s penalty against Argentina In fairness I don’t mind losing to a birdie but hey we’ve got another o left over yet better than you missing that parp isn’t it yeah that’s
True right well it’s your honor James after that are you going drive or are you IR I thought it was a video about irons mate thought it was a video about why have you got your irons in the bag though what’s drawn you into them just to be honest I really enjoyed the
The prospect of the tacos all year and and as of last year I was one of the first people to really review the Tacomo the 101s the initial ones I did and like my audience loved it yeah moving into the 21s I didn’t really like them and I
Said that to the guys come I was like they’re okay they feel a bit firm and then the 301s just feel really soft and nice obviously they’ve got premium KBS shafts in there premium Lampkin grips of which I’ve upgraded to these green utx I believe they’re called but yeah and
Obviously we’ve got these heads that we’re running next year which look really really nice so admit they are like you know if you wanting a nice looking club they’re gorgeous aren’t they why are you going to hit driver on your iron video he might have to rescue me he
Might have to have to after to L to it’s like defensive mode for me now cuz I’m one up AR there’s no point ruining it strike looks like that’s staying one up guys lovely strike that lovely Turf interaction so on a good line it’s not really
Drawing for you but I think it’ll be safe yeah it’s not green but it’s down there it’s down there it’s a chance you could say so I think one of things I’ve learned James over last couple of weeks with irons especially is that if you are sell fitting irons so you might be
Somebody who’s in the market for irons but you can’t afford to go get fitted it’s very difficult to do though isn’t it tell how many balls are in this the bo boys have been cutting the r down to here you can tell it’s witer golf we
Scraped around we can find it what this oh that’s a Kirkland is it that’s going in the bag Kirkland 4 that’s a Callaway decent well X Hot that probably not so much but anym oh there’s one there there’s one there tell you what we’ve got shrien you sell these don’t you ad do
Yeah ad triple 3 25 Pall this will get your watch time up guys we’ve got a Pro V never let’s have a look what look at that Pro who’s lost that what a day what point point are we’re getting at sorry sorry to interrupt we just found some golf balls
Is that if you were going to adjust the length of your or you’re going to adjust a git Fitness of your what happens J it changes the swing weight dramatically in the head so these irons have actually got P you know SW swing weight p in the
Head so that’s why we you know watch I’ve just took all four of their balls probably four yeah there a four ball coming down with strong wind off left Kirland fall boys I don’t know but yeah going back to the irons sorry disted I’ve gone for these because there’s not many irons you
Can just go and buy with D7 swing weights but I’ve managed to get some aftermarket weights and weight these up to D7 so they feel you know the match to my driver cuz honestly you know once You’ would you worry that the aftermarket weights aren’t genuine like
Have you had them on like a a scales yourself course yeah we’ve we’ve actually measured the weight and obviously swing way the head so we know that that the clubs measure D7 so um it’s been great to actually try a set in D7 to know that cuz people said if you
Order a driver at D7 should the I be D7 those I was going to ask you that actually it’s not a strict rule it does come down to preference and feel and sometimes what people do is order heavier swing weights in the wedges you know feel the the bottom of the club
More a bit more I guess it comes down to the ball flight you want with that specific Club yeah really and I think when I was speaking to Samy he was saying that some people might have a bit lighter swing weight you know in the
Driver but if you are a D7 in your is it’s only going to move maybe one or two lighter in driver one or two heavier in wedges yeah you’re never going to move too far away from that this bang smack in the middle of the Fairway guys I’ll just ENT me pocket
Out I think if you hit the green here then uh yeah we we could be struggling there’s one Ison that I’m particularly looking forward to trying the Kirkland Signature plus well I am actually I can’t wait to try I am I can’t wait for them to be release I
Think they look a great IR for anyone on a budget but trick and Z X5 have you ever tried that I have I’ve got the demo irons actually I’ve reviewed them yeah you’re back in my garage later is that what you’re saying I’d love to try them
At ZX7 how far you reckon are you we ain’t got a laser today guys I’m saying you’ve got about 100 I’m absolutely Duff that t heavy I mean that’s winter golf here oh I think I T it up too high on the you know with placing
Yeah we’ve got about 60 yards I’m going to chip a little wedging you be able to see these are a bit of a split set so we’ve got like blades in the shorter I and a little CB head in the mid to Long irons which when you do look down at
That it don’t look like a full blade that Top Line If you look at that it’s going to sit perfectly with a caved set it’s got that little bit thicker Top Line than a blade but you’re getting the performance of a blade you’re getting the feel of a blade without looking down
At a butter knife I’d like to apologize for your audience the snort I’ve just done that’s being picked up on the audio sorry that looks really good oh Gary stop it’s a shame it ran on actually it must have been sat down was it up and down for it isn’t it it is
Unless you hold that but would you put this I feel like in winter it’s too I think it’s too predictable to put a Min it’s just you know everything’s a bit slow and there’s water but what you thinking mean it has to go that way doesn’t it yeah I don’t
Think it’s lob I think this is where it’s not lob wedge oh you’ve got to keep it down aren’t you you thinking chipping a hybrid it’s going to put it never oh how far’s that gone past tell you what though it’s not bad judgment I mean realistically it’s
Probably going to take a good chip to you play a chip like that and you’re happy with it aren’t you so yeah it’s a percentage shot is it yeah it’s what you would set to probably most handicappers is is you as a putter yeah and it’s
Funny cuz like I don’t know I was for some reason I wasn’t feeling confident over that yeah I thought you could easily leave that here and not really have a chance at a par I mean it wasn’t I’ve got 10 ft I’ve not covered myself
In glory but it there was a chance like it might have gone in so then it looked like that yeah then the fist pumps out it’s get set back yeah slightly worrying thing here James is I’m probably going to end up getting you a line a slightly different angle
Actually think we’re all right don’t need any encouragement get up got it oh oh God feel for you there right that’s a good four this is all or nothing then isn’t it these are the moments I get out of bed for guys honestly I hate when you’ve got this
Distance for a I absolutely hate it nobody I think got the best Bloody putter on on YouTube you are against me anyway see but now you’re trying to you’re trying to overdo it I’m not I’m not I thought you got it it loaded that right fist up an it it loaded it
Up oh that Dove right at the last minute he’s letting me off today but guys I’ve got the pxg in the bag at the minute the swing weight I’m enjoying playing with him but we haven’t finished yet I am going to be getting some new this season
Not quite sure you know what I’m not in a rush to do it either it’s going to be a full bfit to be honest James well maybe then you’ll take the victory maybe I will guys hope you’re enjoying the videos uh we’ll see you in a few days time bye oh

Great jacket. Very nice Gaz
I love you two playing 😅2 mates enjoying the game well done gaz 🏌👍
Constantly changing stuff lol like a golfing magpie!
I think i need a pxg fit ….irons are so nice all of them …..
Gazatelli "its not a match" 😂😂😂😂😂 james is so in your head ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha habhabha ffs gaz 4 putters 😂😂🤯🤯🤯
Wait for better weather lads then big match ..gaz james and chris
What isn't potentially a new set? 😂
The Kirkland is probably a Chris Dennis lost ball😂
Love those irons. Not an iron of course, but I recently took a chance on the 0311 Gen 5 driver. Not very good to say the least. Can't beat my old forgiving cobra at all. It's going back!
James buying a Man City putter. Has he finally seen the light?😮
Don't know why but when I think of PXG I think of expensive and not too good looking irons but I do like the idea of being able to change head weights easily…..on the other hand James copper Takomos look gorgeous 😘…. that's why we're human, what suits one doesn't suit another..🌟🎊🤩🥳
Merry Xmas Gaz
Gaz, it seems like you're getting super technical searching for the Holy grail. Four putters as well, come on, you were never Brad Faxon back in the day 😉
Merry Christmas 🎉
Really enjoying the fitting process. I've been fitted in the past and it has been a disappointment, nowhere as in depth. Because of this I now fit myself.
Great content. Really enjoying the process. I’m learning a lot about the art of getting fitted for your clubs and the benefits it can bring.
James’ putt looked in all the way until it wasn’t 😂😂
Im Changing the shafts in my NEW takomo 101Ts (downside to buying online and cant try).. They had KBS tour Lite regular (which was what i asked for)but they feel stiff!! Im 55 so i am going for MAMIYA Proforce 65 graphite iron shafts senior flex (just ordered) and will get them fitted.
Oh its now christmas day here in New Zealand (12 hours ahead) so Merry christmas Gary
Brilliant entertaining video. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎅
Played Pxg for 5 year full bag love them ,played all the major brands over the years and Pxg right up there
I have a set of 0211 irons got them second hand, love them but taking lots of time getting used to them. Would love to have some Gen 6 but too expensive.
Good video guys.
I’ve gone to two PXG fittings, I must say top notch fittings, I just don’t like the feel!
Gaz, we all know whatever irons you get won't stay there more than 3 weeks anyway 😂.
Seriously though, thanks for a great year of content, merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours mate! 🍻
#PXG The sweetest looking irons! Merry Christmas GAZ!
🐊🏌⛳️🦅🇺🇸🎅
Was this a video on irons or on James, usually love your content Gary but feel like James took over on this one, all about him
Really enjoying your content Gaz. Funny enough hearing you in this video, I’m gaming things you spoke about. I’m gaming a srixon ZX5/7 combo. 4,5,6 in zx5 then 7-PW in zx7 with fujikura axiom graphite shafts. They feel soo good and have no interest in changing.
The Kirkland Driver looks good as well
I play PXG. Love them. Merry Christmas
I switched a PXG 317 irons about 3 months ago, and I can say that they're the best irons i've ever played. I even shot my age from the tips at my local course, which was 67.
I rented a set of ZX5s while in California last year and absolutely loved them😁
Gaz, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Another top drawer video Gaz and I’m looking forward to watching your journey on getting the right iron set for you
I have the 0211 driver in the bag, best driver I've ever owned. Unfortunately I don't have the incling to buy any other irons besides bridgestones (I have a major brand snobbery with irons, japanese wise anyway) loving the vids though Gary, keep em coming
I got the srixon zx5s mk1 great irons but what happening with the ping irons thought you was getting the lie changed on them
Awful PXG don’t make anything that looks good End Of
Sorry Gaz, you need something prettier than those bats.
Gaz is the only fella on YouTube who gets bullied on his own channel… it went from an irons only demo, no match, to JR hitting whatever he wants and it being a match 😂
In America, PXG sell the 0317 for $179.99 per club (converted to £141.65). In the UK they charge £189 for the same club which puts me right off them
Nice looking irons Gaz ! You should keep e'm ! I recently got fit and purchased a whole bag. gen 6 woods, and the new 0211 irons. I had an amazing fitting experience here in the states, in Orlando. No adjustable weights, so during build they put an xtra 4 grams in the head. 1/2" long, 2 degrees upright w/midsize pxg grips(for now). No tape or lie boards was used during fitting !😊
Video was great mate, despite James constantly interrupting off subject and taking the attention 🙄. Beaut irons though, stick with as I wanna hear your 3 month in thoughts!
Robinson has a tendency to be an Asshole!
