 four different irons with four very different price points all from PXG. The question is what makes them so different and which one should you choose? So yeah right now realistically there are four irons that you can buy from PXG and well they're in front of me now and I've got to say they've evolved. There's no doubt about it. Certainly gen three through to gen five there's a considerable change in terms of the way they look obviously we've got their kind of cast product the O211 DC which again is hugely popular thing I'm going to try and find out today. Why is there such a significant price difference between those four models? Can you notice that price difference? Are you getting more for your money and going to the gen five than you are to the O211 DC and if you are what exactly are you getting? Now I think one of the main dividers in opinion on PXG product is first of all the way they look. They have a very unique look and I like that first and foremost the fact that they've designed a product that looks very different to anything else that is out there on the marketplace. The nuts and bolts that I refer to is seen and prevalent in all of the gen one through to the gen five models but that is like I said very much a personal preference. I think with the O211 the cast model it is very much more mainstream on what you'd normally associate golf clubs to look like so the kind of one that will meet the eye of the majority I think will probably be the O211 DC and you've really got to buy into how the other models look and again that's very much down to your own personal choice. Now before I go any further one thing that is a real discussion point for me is the price point and not just because of how high or how low it is in case of the O211 DCs but in terms of resale value. One thing that PXG have done is they've been very aggressive in the marketplace each time a new model is released has been some heavily discounted products of previous generations what I'd like to know from you is what are your thoughts and how do you feel if you've perhaps bought a previous generation and seen the price reduce quite significantly so when you buy a set of clubs are you being upset at the fact that possibly the resale value is being depreciated quite significantly each time PXG bring a new model out or is that something you just do not consider. Let me know in the comments below. Right now one of the big deals for me personally when I'm buying a set of ions is well it's what they sound and feel like. I know that's not a thing for everybody some of you are on the channel have commented that it makes no difference to you I understand that and if that's the case then switch off now because that's what we're about to talk about. I'm going to start with the O211 DC don't forget this is a cast product. I'm going to hit all four clubs and give you my sort of immediate feedback on how they sound and feel and how they look at address. The address first of all they've got this bang on it's kind of a medium top line wider sole unit but an address fairly long in terms of heel to toe I just think it sits in the sort of mass market category in terms of what they're looking for. Let's try and hit a nice clean strike it wasn't the best of strikes it's okay a little bit left but in terms of sound and feel I just cannot believe just how good of a job PHG have done in getting a cast club that's sort of £70 an ion to sound and feel just the way it does. It's always baffled me ever since we've done the review of that product from when it was originally released I've been very positive towards it often criticized for being very positive towards it but try them it confuses the hell out of me into the oldest generation of the pion that we're going to use pion with the same shaft by the way in each of these next three ions. A lot more compact profile top line again sits in that sort of players distance category I would say so it's a medium top line, chamfered off a little bit I won't mention that in the others because it's very very similar to what we don't feel that's a much purer strike than we managed to get with the O211 but again just now becomes really soft this is the kind of like these are these foam filled forged face jobs that you know we're all confused with as to how does this kind of like resonate with being a forged ion when it's got some magic formula inside but I just think they did that incredibly well in gen 3 and the sound and feel of that is unreal then into gen 4 throw some images up as we're going so you can see a difference in the looks as well quite significant move on in terms of what they did in gen 4 and they did a little bit better in terms of a little bit more compact profile than in gen 3 but what did it do in terms of sound and feel because there were some changes in terms of the technology inside right we've got an introduction from the green staff there but sound and feel now what happened with gen 4 is they just went a little bit more I think they went a bit harder in the sound there was a change in what was put inside of these clubs and I don't know but for me they always felt a little bit firmer not as soft as the gen 3's and for those of you who watch the channel I ended up sticking with gen 3 in the bag and that was one of the main reasons I did so because of that change of sound and feel that I was a little bit put off by if you like so now into gen 5 again very similar to look to gen 3 to me changes again in terms of the backside of it I love that visible sort of black marking suggestion of where the tungsten is in this product and sound and feel this is just where it just changes significantly for me I think they made a massive upgrade in terms of what happened between getting the softness that they had in gen 3 and the speed off the face and the sort of a little bit firmer feeling in terms of what how the ball fires out there tungsten like I said in heal and toe we've got these kind of changes in gen 4 and gen 5 in terms of that waiting system at the back which we'll talk about later but the sound and feel really ticks every box when it gets into gen 5 and the biggest game changer for me that I've seen is the sort of ball speeds and the sound and feel in gen 5 now I want to give you my evaluation on the 4 irons in terms of their performance and to do that I'm going to throw up the averages each of them on screen for you now and I think this one thing to mention is there's a though strongest loft by quite a bit is the 0 to 11 DC and then when the gen 3 through to gen 5 there's one degree difference slightly weaker loft in that gen 3 and they strengthen it into gen 4 and gen 5 and you can see the differences that are made in terms of their performance in terms of the carry distance overall again just for me it performs gen 5 a low being the longer iron without doubt it's not so much that it's that coupled with the ball flight the spin number the launch angle the descent angle the overall sound and feel just it does make it the best iron that PXC have released there's no question in my mind about that I wouldn't have said that a year or so 18 months ago when it moved into gen 4 from gen 3 unfortunately it didn't have the sort of progressions that I looked for I think that don't get me wrong very very good iron but didn't quite like I said make the leap that I would have hoped for that we've now seen into gen 5 but don't forget you're paying a huge amount of money to have that benefit right now gen 4s are 170 an iron in the UK and gen 5s are 249 so a huge difference and then you go down that bottom end of the spectrum and see the kind of this 0 to 11 DC at price between 60 and 70 pound an iron depending on when you when they decide to put the price points in it's just ridiculously priced I'll say for my US audience that gen 3 apparently is still available over in the US at around $129 a club which again for a forged iron it's just it's incredible price points but like I said as far as I can see you can only get those in the US I'm going to leave the review here I did this video because I've been asked many many times about how I compare one to the other and I thought right well we'll just do all four at once the simple answer and appraisal is that 0 to 11 is and I always say it the best value iron on the marketplace right now end of story the gen 5 is a really really good iron takes a lot of boxes for me but is extremely expensive and then somewhere in between all that you've got another couple of options in terms of gen 3 if you can get them and gen 4 so make it out what you will as ever my best advice is this go out hit the damn things yourself and make your own judgments right thank you for watching hope you enjoyed that give me the feedback down below and I'll see you all very soon
