 Today's video is very simple and straightforward. We're looking at two different sets of irons. One is a hollow-bodied iron, the other is a cavity back. One is from PXG, the other is from TaylorMade, the other P770, and the O317CBs. But it's not me that's gonna do the testing. It is, of course, professional golfer Lewis Johnson, who is a current user of TaylorMade P770 irons. First of all, Lou, tell me why you've got P770s in the bag as a professional golfer. I like that kind of bracket of club that players sort of, you know, look, but a little bit of help. Something not too daunting, but, you know, we all like to play something we like to look of, don't we? So anything in that bracket, I'm always open to it. Sounds good logic to me. So I've got another set of irons that I want you to have a look at today. I've been talking about them for the last few weeks too, but I want to see what your opinion is. It's a cavity back iron. It's from PXG. I think it's probably just as forgiving as the P770s, and I think it might have a bit better feel, but it's up to you to decide that. I'm gonna start off with a mid-iron. We've got 160 yards, 7 iron, I'm guessing. Yeah, we've got 7 iron, yeah. Let's go with yours first, and then we'll switch up and straight into the CBs. Perfect. So first of all, it's a fairly compact head size. The P770, don't forget, it's the kind of smaller, the miniature P790. That's it, yeah. Nothing too daunting behind the ball, you know, it's... Yeah, I mean, I love them. Nice strike. Nice bit of shape. Yeah. Starting to come in a bit. A bit into the wind in it, so. So, sounded good. Yeah, happy with that. Yeah, sounds good to me. It's fine, I like it. Yeah. I've seen that a million times, everything's quite consistent, everything about it's consistent, you know where they're doing and what they're doing. Yeah. Right, I'm gonna ask you just to stay there a minute, and I'm gonna get another ball, and they're gonna try and switch up into this... Black one. It's a black one. It's the only one I've got, oddly enough, it's... So first of all, these are fully forged irons, whereas it's a forged face on the P770s. Yeah. So I'm interested to know if there's a sound and feel difference. In terms of the size and the profile, do you notice much difference there, I don't know if you want that one back. I think it's a little smaller, isn't it? Maybe the top line is... Yeah, blade length is the same. Yeah, it's just... I don't know, maybe it's just a different shape, there's not a lot in here, is there? No, there's not. No, so... What do you think of overall as a looking iron? Is it something you'd be drawing onto? I think I've always wanted a black set of irons. Yeah, I like the black in particular. Yeah, it's cool. But no, it's something I could... You know, in terms of, like, the profile... Size, like it's good, like its design is nice. Yeah. But overall, they've done a good job, I think it's nice. Let's see where it doesn't seem, so it's... Right, it's just a little weight in the back there, isn't it? So, we'll see. Wow, that's higher, isn't it? It was a higher ball flight, something I noticed straight away, similar shape. It's gone further as well. Yeah, it'd be interesting to, if I'm honest with you, probably a little bit poor in terms of organisation from my side, but I don't know the loft comparison of these two, so they'll be up on screen for you now. But probably did carry a little bit further, but it definitely was a slightly higher ball flight. Definitely carried further, it was higher, so... And what do you think, any noticeable difference on feel or not on that one? It feels good. I think the thing is, it was out of the middle, by the way, that's what a sense of strike looks like. It feels like what it is. It feels forged. It feels like it's a solid construction, you know? Like, obviously, there's a bit of hollow body construction in that. Really good, yeah. OK, well, look, first shot with it, and it's a mid-iron. What I want to do is go to the extremes now, so we're probably going to go back and we're going to play a three-iron, because I know Lewis Keen on a three-iron as well. It's something a lot of us wouldn't go near, but we'll go three-iron to one extreme, and then we'll go to the short end of the bag and we'll play some wedges as well. But, initially, good first impressions. Yeah, nice. Let's see where we go from here. So, good start, Lou, but next up, it's a three-iron. Like I said, it's not a club that I would ordinarily go near, although I have tried these, and I think they're surprisingly forgiving. You tell me otherwise, why do you play a three-iron? What's the kind of...? I want to hit one last one. Yeah, so, three-iron, and obviously I've had that little discussion about the seven-mode and stuff we've talked about, but it's just something that I like. Yeah, it gives... I can hit it reasonably high anyway, so I don't feel as though it's sort of a penetrating flight. It just slots in with my normal irons, if that makes sense. You know, it's great versatility. You know, especially this time of year, everywhere, it's baked, isn't it? Yeah, the ball's running for miles. The ball goes for miles. You played it last night, so good, and again, it runs forever. And again, the P770. You know, what I'm trying to get at is really, I suppose, still, this would be classed as, without doubt. Although it's a player's iron, it's very forgiving, isn't it? And even in a three-iron, it still gives you more encouragement to play it. Yeah, definitely. It's... I play these because they are more forgiving. And even down to that three-iron, the three-iron end of the line. Yeah, yeah, I mean, everything hits out the middle, I think. But for me, it's all relative to the person, is I hit this because I can, and I choose it because it's a little bit more forgiving. It gives me a bit of help to go on. Let's see you knock one off here with your three-iron, and then we'll do exactly the same. Load up the CB and see how it fares. Yeah, nice shot, nice ball flight. Like you said, slightly higher than what you'd expect from a three-iron, which, again, is probably something more... what you're seeing out the P770 than you might see of other irons. I'd be interested after the seven-iron there, seeing what happens with this, because that'd be something, you know, if I were to ever swap, it'd be something that I'd consider quite heavily is, like what are the long irons doing, what do they look like, what do they... Because, you know, it's a massively important part of the bag for me. You got to have a look at that. Yeah, I mean, it is, you know, when you put the seven-iron down, they're quite similar. This is smaller. Yeah, more noticeable. Yeah, you know, in terms of, like, curb appeal, like it's quite... Oh, they're good looking irons. Yeah, it's good, yeah. So, nice. Very similar ball flight. Yeah, you do think? Yeah. Again. I'd be interested if they'd got to be right on top of each other. Yeah, yeah. Really impressed. It's great ball striking, as ever, from Lou, and, you know, that's great to get... I've done my review of these. I know you'll have watched and commented on the video and hit that like button. But, yeah, I'm really favourable. I think they're a really good set of irons, and it's like, I'll play with them now for quite a few weeks, and almost like the sort of second opinion. And this idea that the kind of iron that I, again, would like to play is that sort of P770. For all the reasons Lou has suggested, I think these are a definite option. And, like I said, maybe there's other elements in there, too, in terms of that feel, but maybe that'll be more noticeable in the next bit we're going to, which is down the short end of the bag. We'll see where those two have gone, and then maybe it's a couple of wedges into this next screen, definitely, yeah.

Yeah, it's a little bit down, I'll breathe, that's fine, yeah. So, I think my big thing with these, after hitting them, I want to say then, the three irons is, where do these even sit? In PXG's range. Because, yeah, yeah, in terms of, like, are they, is it like one of their premium products, like what's the price point, what's the... Price points will be up on screen now, and we'll do that as a comparison to the P770s, that's a really good point. But in terms of where it sits, I think the Gen 6 is their kind of premium iron, and it tries to be sort of, you know, one size fits all in many ways. I've got the player's iron, as you know, but it's not really what your class is at. So they're like PXP and stuff in there? Only P, they don't do a T anymore, which is effectively what these have replaced. So this is that, or that has replaced, so that has become their better player's irons with some help, but then you can go from the CB into the ST, which is a pure blade, so that's a cavity part. That's a tiny little thing, isn't it? I know, tiny, but it does, there's a good question as well, though, because there's still that option to go from, like, say, three iron into maybe seven iron in these things, and it can switch up in the ST. These come up with, like, STs, and then there's anything... No, that's it. So you'd probably play GEN6, like, pay if you wanted to do that, short stuff, yeah. But for you? Yeah, I mean, these are the... There's very few sets that I kind of feel as though you could go three to pitch a match at, that I would enjoy playing, but that three iron was really, you know, I've got the launch on it, it's got the feel, you know, it looks okay, like this 9-9 again, they're very, very similar in terms of look. Yeah. Probably a bit slimmer on the top, aren't they? Yeah. There's enough help there, I like the weight and stuff. I think we should concentrate on that pattern there, mate, that's my sport striking. Right, let's see how we get on there. That's right out the middle, by the way. Right, let me get this camera on so we can get some shot traces on, though. And so, yeah, we've got... We're a bit downhill, a bit downhill, yes, but effectively, sort of, 150-ish in, let me move that all the way. So, this is you're starting off this time with the PXG product. Yeah. Just leak the tad out to the right with that. It's a distance-wise spot on. Just another ball with it, because I know that's not your best strike. And then we'll get one in the P770. Let's see. Nice. Tell the difference, the sound was really good, and that's right on top of the flag. See how it sits. They're still carried on through there. It's super firm. What did you think, first of all, of going into the short end? Obviously, for me, this is where, like, feel is a thing, but... I'm going to swap you over to... I'm going to ask you what... I think it's soft. Yeah. Whether it's soft... I mean, soft is... You know, people like it, don't like it, whether it is... That's the thing about, sort of, pitching wedge and nine and eights. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, I think... Yeah. They don't feel like, you know, like... We sand wedge them, we lob wedge them, whatever. Back into position. Stain club, we're a bit... We're downwind, and also downhill, so I think you're going to do well to stop it with any clubbing hand. Let's see switching up an immediate reaction back to the P770s. They definitely go a bit higher, the PXGs, don't they? Yeah. Yeah, there is... You're just not going to get anything to stop at the minute. No, not at all. I mean, another one with these as well. I've got... I've just got this, sort of, opinion, I think. A better strike. I'm trying to nip it, but... No, I'm not going to get anything to stop. But in terms of how, like, soft they are... Yes. And I don't know, I just don't feel as if I can miss them still. They're the probably smallest profile club that I'm going to have confidence in that I'm not really going to... Yeah. The first one with them, you know, it's still on the right-hand edge of the green. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Because I still class them as a f***ing denying them. Yeah, and that's why I asked about the premium product, is they look how someone would want them to look, you know, they look like a tight-less T100, kind of thing, you know. But they feel great. They fly the ball high, which is great. I think that weight obviously has a big thing to do here, but it's good. Yeah, they are good, yeah, yeah. I'm going to check one thing, we're going to cut off and move away from this fair, we just to finish the video. I'm going to check that price point, before we pass a final judgement or at least Lewis does. Right, so, before we finish, first of all the price point, £189 per iron currently on those CBs, we know that can fluctuate quite a lot on PXG's product right now, and we've got £165. So, surprisingly, you know, I mean, it's... It's similar. I think for a forged sort of players' club, it's in that bracket, isn't it, if we looked at across. I still think it's at the expensive end, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised. I was expecting you would say, oh, well, actually, they're... If I'm honest with you, so was I. It's once in a club or something. No, no, I must admit, so was I. So, you know, consider that they're an expensive iron. The next thing to note was, I've just checked out the lofts. I mean, in terms of using a 7-inner sabrometer, 33 degrees, so both... They're identical through the set. Oh, nice. OK. So that was interesting, because I think there was a slightly higher ball flight off of the CB. Yeah, definitely. And again, I don't know whether, again, what you think there's always this kind of bit of meat and bar at the back there. It's almost like a muscle back, really, iron, as well, isn't it? Love it, yeah. We can know from a zoom. No. So definitely different in there. But overall, I mean, from a viewer's perspective, not a lot of difference in terms of overall performance from what I've seen. No. Obviously, your opinion. Yeah, impressed. I liked it a lot more than I thought was going to like it. You know, I sort of choose my... You know, based on, I think, the ease of the best is... You know, I don't think I'd lose performance if I put these in. Couple of little dinks around this green. Yeah, it does come to this. Like, comprehensively do, you know, sort of try them with everything that I would use mine for. And they sort of performed well in all categories. So it's something I would consider, you know, if you love the look of that and you think, you know, three times fours and all that, you know, certainly if they did, you know, pack the price on them or whatever, but I wouldn't rule them out based on price, because it's a quality product. You know, happy. Happy with that? Yeah, I mean, to be honest with you, I've been talking to Lewis about doing this one for quite some weeks, because I had a feeling that it was something that might really suit him. And it turns out, I think, probably safe to say, it was a positive response. Anyway, as ever, let me know what your thoughts are on both these sets of irons and whether you've chose one or the other and what you like about either. Just post a comment down below. Right, that's us. Thank you for watching. Have a great day. Upper Hollywood Golf Club. The UK has been fantastic for the last few weeks. Let's hope it continues. And I'll see you all tomorrow night. Thanks for watching.
