His NEW FORGIVING IRONS…TIME TO BOOK A FITTING!? When it comes to buying new golf clubs in 2024 we often think about what the best irons would be? could they be the new Taylormade QI10 Max clubs? ping g430 10k clubs? Callaway Paradym ai smoke clubs? or maybe the new PXG clubs? The new PXG 0317T irons are potentially the best all round irons money can buy? the best hollow body distance irons, the best mid handicap irons, the best forgiving irons and even the best low handicap irons!
It is that time of year where you may well be thinking about changing your irons in 2024 and it’s that time of the week where Gaz is thinking about changing is Gaz how are you I’m good thanks yeah I’m good happy New Year Happy New Year to
Everyone so this is kind of an ongoing saga and I love doing these kind of updated videos we’re going to have a bit of a match today we’ll play just a handful of holes it’s absolutely freezing but it’s a great time of year to consider changing your clubs now
You’ve been changing quite a lot you’ve been getting fitted a lot which I quite like and there’s a set of clubs in Gaz bag which I’ve lent him I personally think they’re probably the best irons out there all around they go a long way they’re forgiving they still feel good
You’ve got versatility you’ve everything I’d love to get your opinions on them yeah and I think these might well find the way in your bag if you kind of embrace them they’re definitely in my top three picks of irons for this year so I’m looking forward to trying it
Right without any further Ado guys let’s get off and then we’ll show you what these irons are and we’ll see just if they might find the way and G’s bag even just for a few days like everything else right guys I’ll give you the honor mate
Let you get teed off we’ll uh dive into that bag in just a moment’s time how’s your game been uh played a lot on indoor golf simulators recently probably most people haven’t been out much yeah got any shots or is this the first match at year yeah mate oh
God I’ll take that now that’s interesting because if I’m being honest that sounded thin it was the best St I’ve got to admit so we’ll we’ll kind of go into what these are these are of course the pxg 0317 T forged ions you tried the STS and didn’t really like them that much
Well it weren’t a matter I didn’t like I didn’t feel you know I was striking the ball well enough to use them and I want him to try the next one up which I feel like probably has a little bit more forgiven it certainly looks that way
Yeah and the thing with these are you do get that kind of hollow body design as well don’t you so you get a little bit more forgiveness a little bit more power potentially do you know my first impression though yeah cuz it’s first time I’ve seen them in the flesh they’re
Actually a bit smaller than I expected yeah and that’s a good thing isn’t it cuz I think sometimes you think Hollow boded and you start to think maybe these are going to be a bit big but especially when you get down to the mid irons if
You’ve looked at these yet but they’re a really really nice size and a really really nice shape they are a better players looking Club you know like what you’d expect if you had them in the bag no one would know they’re Hollow boded and no one would know that potentially
Looking for a bit they’re just very blade looking aren’t they really yeah it’s a it’s a very a very quiet shout for help guys isn’t it right um I’ve got these in the bag I’ve just tested these and the review is either out or coming soon and I’ve
Kirkland it up to try and beat you so well we’ll go with that cuz I mean if you can beat with a Kirkland then it’s just another another tick in the Box isn’t it I’m going to take a bit more of the corner on I think we can can’t
We very similar design I think these ping if you look at them grab that 4 IR out again guys well look at these and like the bottom line especially so you look at the side of them yes this has more of a cavity back than a hollow body
But then you look at the face and they almost look identical don’t they the profile like you said it’s exact the same size Club is it yeah really really nice so guys comment below which ones would you have if you were going to get some new irons in 2024 pxu fitting
Process is second to on it’s really really good I think have you had a pxg fitting before I’ve never had one before actually might be interesting to do so cuz what they g go on is the overall kind of weight of the club and I know that’s what you really enjoyed with your
Driver fitting wasn’t it yeah because like unless you’re playing like a real kind of heavy duty meaningful match against one of your friends then nothing really matters this time of year does it so tell you what I’m going to try on this one are you going to try brilliant
Brilliant going to try um but yeah it’s a really good time of year just to test golf clubs because I think I feel like especially getting out on the golf course with something it can just make sure you’re getting the right stuff because I’ve reviewed these pings that
I’m using today just for the last few days and one of the big misconceptions I feel like a lot of people might well make massive mistakes and waste money is just getting fitted inside off the mat yeah 100% I’ve got his my ball here in the Fairway I think there’s one there
As well what yours was a bit further wasn’t it Titleist is it round this one it’s uh it’s not too bad I’m not sure that is it’s a good Lake ball Lake ball PJ Pro using a lake ball are we playing yeah we’re placing the fa I know I got
To be battering me laser again oh you’re joking I don’t know what you’d hit here but I’d like you to hit pitching wedge cuz I think this is where so many good players would potentially kind of just cut down on a wedge you know rather than
Trying to hit like a full sandwi you think is roughly distance me to tell you how far do you reckon uh 90 102 playing 94 right well it’d be interesting to see how this plays cuz a hollow wedge i’ be fearing that it might be a bit fiery
Yeah and that’s where I’m really sorry to interrupt you but that’s where I think these are really good all right so I’m excited for you not fire it no just play it like you’re playing a forged iron yeah nice yeah you’re right that just felt solid lovely shot happy with that really
Good away from the bunker as well so you’re kind of ticking all the boxes there aren’t you that it did not feel like a Holo club before I’ve tried like Wilson clubs before like were at C6 and like that that were Hollow boded and it just felt like there were rockets off
You shorter irons yeah you’ve piled the pressure on a bit there actually that bunker is more in play from this angle isn’t it sit sit bit of Back Spin if you would you try these I would actually time I’ve seen do you want to
Have a go with this see if you can get inside cuz that I mean I’m really impressed with these I don’t think I’d want to go into the tons the blueprint te blades but these these remind REM me of the s59 I think you probably had them
Did you back in the day I had yeah S5 yeah very yeah like if I if I show them that down at the ball I think that pitching wedge looks absolutely gorgeous you know like kind of size and shape wise yeah yeah right guys we have two birdie puts
On the opening hole winter golf so the greens have just been treated but golf’s golf guys isn’t it definitely ni to out here yeah I understand it I think just doing this you know like just hitting shots so let me have a go with that let me have go with that it’s really
Enjoyable but it’s also a really good way of testing new clubs I’m going to be quite honest I think pxg felt a bit softer yeah I think yeah I think it sound I don’t think your strike with the Ping was quite as solid um from the
Audio feedback that I got but I mean if that’s your bad shot to to this hole to that pin then you’re not doing too bad are you no your hand’s cold mate just a bit right who would you say is to go first is it just me on the angle I think
It might just be you actually yeah right I’ll uh I’ll send this in then I’ve never seen what’s that it’s h it’s not a current model it’s an all works Big T blade you’ve always got something new in haven’t youim it’s still got the wrapper
On that on the shaft yeah it were a brand new one where from an old model it were an eBay find how much well sorry isn’t it how so how much deing that is or do you know uh no I don’t I’ve not seen is it a new released one do you
Know where it’s from yeah it’s a Costco I can’t remember how much they were good quality though yeah super stroke grip as well feel like they’re about 100 quid them yeah May 119 well it’s that’s good right you it left in I’m going to take it out just cuz there’s sand in
There so it’s like blocking it a bit oh it’s good enough at the line it’s good enough right new putter new year new gas can I roll one in looks good looks exceptional oh it stayed out there I’ll give you that pal good P right then second hole are we um
Iron only you going to go for short enough just to par it IR out that far again you know wow I really hope that’s missed that bunker I bet you do by all they worry with pxg are people going to start overlooking it because they’re waiting for for sales and Black
Friday offers maybe they’ve never done it with irons have they it’s always been drivers but yeah absolutely with the drivers I know what you mean I I’m really interested because I I’m I buy to fit in yeah and the think then you can swing weight them really
Well well if yours in the bunker mine is a lot of Brands don’t sort of consider swing weight that much yeah when it comes to fitting but pxg really do they’re staple isn’t it yeah um I’ll clean that before I make a big difference we both avoided the bunker
Gaz you go first I’ve done you there mate on the angle yeah we got in probably about 120ish or something I think it’s a nice wet isn’t it ideally just into that slope and then maybe bring it back would you not try that Oh I thought you meant front slope green that might
Be where you end up but come on I need a distance let me get that way it’s a match it’s in my ball pocket is it we’ve got to take it serious it’s first one of 2024 left eye dominant uh one two four I’m going to go
See a big wedge is it I think in these conditions yeah it’s cold isn’t it not nine big wedge should a little n the thing is if you go long it’s equally oh cuz there’s that slope in the back y okay the powerful irons that’s all I’ll
Say it’s good time to practice it in a little nine though yeah yeah perfect time I like it don’t belong he likes it is it long oh it’s perfect perfect wow we could have found some new irons that that is the cat amongst the pigeons
Wow you hit that good as well a you do you know what I’m buzzing with that because I would have expected if anything were going to be a flyer that would I thought that was going to be long perfectly Str it’s played true to distance was that 99
Mate you absolutely pummeled that as well didn’t you yeah hey well I think that is really close go go I’ve not hit that go oh that’s desperately short I’m D that right I mean yours isn’t dead so I’ll at least I’ve got that think about ideal guys
No all comes down from under the pressure of your good shot though doesn’t it yeah I suppose five you’ve got two for it to go one up bad five that really bad five good stopping yes yeah I’m happy with that sometimes you almost don’t want them to
Zig back here you just want to to stop and makes life a lot easier big moment well Dolly it down there I’m not going to be shy I mean I’m going to have a little roll it sure you’ll get me what you if I miss we’ll see we’ll
See oh what have I done I can’t give him when the short mate what the hell I thought it were going to roll can’t give them when this oh this this is a huge turning point this is massive new butter how a worried how a worried to be
Honest you deserve that you deserve that well done one down now if these irons are successful in getting you a victory to kick off 2024 that’s a big thing isn’t it it it really is but no it’s all jokes aside seriously I do really like him yeah I thought you would that’s why
I I wanted to try them cuz I know you’re kind of end up bit no man’s on it with yours and I think they’re really good like I think they’re not big and bold and like brass that the hollow body in distance but then they do give you kind
Of what you want so I’m I’m I’m looking forward to knowing where that hollow body actually kicks in yeah cuz I don’t feel like I can feel it at the minute I’ve not felt that I think you maybe got a bit of help on that four on the last
Te cuz I don’t think that was yeah your best strike but right three it all comes down to this it’s going to be a 99 again it’s playing 130 it is all we need is a little par just a little par I don’t think py enough oh stay there turning a bit it’s
Turning a bit it’s not the best I don’t know about that one Gaz let me just get a yardage just to make sure get lost it better be one 30 what is it 128 all right fair enough I’ve got an eight I’m going try and Chip one into
That slope and you let come down a bit oh it’s lovely fade fade fade fade I think we’re exactly the same place aren’t we I don’t know you might have done me on distance I think you might be up there and I’m a bit short
That was a chance that was a chance to get back into it right there still plenty to do yeah two Miss greens I’m a little bit long actually yours is perfectly flag high but it’s me to chip on first is it clean and place not in the rof mate
Nope I might put it did you see me glance over just to see how mine was lying before I said no winter golf though is it you almost need to yeah be able to rely on short game a bit my chip was terrible on the last to sit sit sit sit
Sit I’m going to put because it is winter golf it’s winter golf I’ve not been practicing chipping I’ve never seen anybody put from there going to see all the pitching Wes there’s a lot of people it’s wet and sticky here all right mate m means a lot this doesn’t it it
Does stop stop stop it’s actually not a bad effort I mean you can see the greens are very wintry and it would uh take a good shot to get inside that with a chip are we having it out yeah yeah I don’t think you get inside that with a chip mate in honestly
Yeah oh okay not hit that at all that’s winter golf well on mate it’s just solid that to be fair really impressive yeah I like that alignment M I’m really glad you brought the M for me to try CH I’m buz with it spells the drinks on me now can
I borrow for the next match guys thanks for watching smash that subscribe button disappointing for me but raay of Hope for Gary And raay of sunshine cuz I think they could be up there for you the one of the best signs I’ve ever tried I’ll go I’ll go as deep as saying that
Yeah seriously well guys see you at the same time tomorrow I’ve just lost a gar great ah

It’s all coming up Gary🎉🎉🎉
Firm believer of why make it harder to hit. If Game improvement class Irons make it easier to hit consistently why not use them.. Not everyone needs to use blades..
Will be keeping my G400’s. Still excellent irons. If I was looking at new irons I’d probably go for i525’s. I’d go to Ping for the fitting. Blueprints are for better players than me! I’ve hit some i230’s and got on ok with them.
He was going to beat you eventually, and you gave him the tools to your own downfall 🙂 great vid guys, great chemistry
thanks for the wave gaz hahaha
I think that is the first time in ages that GAZ has beaten James, WOW!!!
Well done Gary😅😅
Love these matches
I would love the 0317t i think they are the best looking hollow bodied iron out there.
PXG Black Hawk Edition 😍
Folks need to consider some used Honma irons. I picked up a set of forged TW747 VX irons and they are just amazing. The used prices are very competitive and forged at a top forging house in Japan.
I have a PXG 0311 ST 3i I had bent 2° strong with a graphite shaft, I use as a 2i-ish utility. Reg price was $360 a club, on clearance for $99
James love all your content. Waiting for you to drop the Mizuno 241,3,5 and fly high iron reviews! Come on Robbo you’ve played Mizuno irons for the last three years as far as I can see! I know your a busy boy though so I’ll be patient 😉
I'll have the Ping thank you James. I just can't get past these PXG Frankenstein screws – even though hollow bodies are a better fit for my swing. I must say though that it looks like they did a great job on them. When I got fit into other hollow bodies I had to find out late about the PW being too hot to chip with, contrary to this PXG apparently. I anyone gets fit into hollow bodies I would advise to make sure you try the PW too. I had to change my Gap wedge to keep the distance gapping correct…
The only problem you have with the PXG is that you didn’t get the dark finish!
Ping over PXG, not even close.
I'm a Titleist person but really I think when I replace my irons, I am looking at Takomo. Partly due to your use of them.
