I’ve been playing golf for over 10 years, and it’s my favorite way to spend the weekends with family and friends. My game is solid at a 10 HCP, but, as any golfer knows — there’s always room for improvement.
My current setup’s okay. But I’ve had the same clubs for the past 7 years and I suspect that the tech is getting outdated. My driving and short game is great, but I tend to struggle on the longer holes with lackluster distance and accuracy from my irons.
So, I researched the best clubs on the market, and talked with my local club pro about what to look for. He mentioned that PXG just dropped their new GEN7 Irons, which are designed for elite performance gains while taking your game to the absolute limits. I signed up for a fitting at my local PXG store to see if these clubs are worth the hype.
My Fitting Experience With PXG’s GEN7 Irons:
This was my first time at a PXG store, and I was super impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities. The store has the biggest hitting bays I’ve ever seen, and each one is fitted with Trackman technology. Turns out, my fitter Josh is a former pro player, so I knew was in good hands.
After discussing what I want to improve on, I hit with my current 7 iron to establish a baseline of my average distance and dispersion. My numbers were decent, but I knew I should be getting more distance based on my clubhead and ball speed. And, if I can tighten up my dispersion, I’m sure my game will be a lot more consistent.
It was then time to put the GEN7 Irons to the test and see if they would actually enhance my performance.
After only a couple swings, I could already feel a significant difference. Not only did the GEN7 look super sleek in my hands, but it felt super lightweight and powerful with the milled back surface and ultra-thin face. Plus, the sound was incredibly satisfying and helped my confidence over the ball. But, what did the data say?
When we checked out the numbers, the difference was dramatic. I gained an average of 10+ yards of distance and my dispersion was extremely tight. My spin rates were higher, ball speed was faster, and practically every stat showed serious improvement.
I was curious about how PXG’s latest club technology led to these results, and Josh explained every new feature. For a golf nut like me, I was drooling over all the GEN7 irons’ technical aspects.
These irons have been 10 years in the making, and it shows. The QuantumCOR technology pushes COR to the USGA limit, making every shot explosive. For golfers like me, gaining maximum power without losing any energy through impact is crucial. The high-strength, ultra-thin stainless steel face is the slimmest in golf. This is paired with Power Channel Technology for incredible face flex, high launch, and optimal trajectory.
The lightweight titanium insert and tungsten toe weighting are key to the GEN7's superior performance. They redistribute mass to the perimeter of the club head, boosting MOI and perfectly balancing the CG. This design leads to unparalleled forgiveness and distance, even when I don’t hit it dead center. The GEN7 Irons’ innovative features are at the forefront of club technology, and the difference is instantly noticeable.
We tested different club heads and shafts until finding the ideal setup for my swing. PXG’s fitting philosophy focuses on complimenting your swing, rather than shoving a square peg into a round hole. Trying all these variations was not only fun, but also gave me reassurance that I was getting a custom setup that’s right for me.
From the very first swing, I felt powerful and confident. The ball flies off the clubface with remarkable speed and sound while my shots are tighter and more predictable. Safe to say, I’m definitely upgrading to PXG GEN7 Irons.
Final Thoughts:
I was skeptical whether PXG GEN7 Irons could truly improve my distance and accuracy, but after testing them — the data speaks for itself. The clubs feel amazing in your hands, and innovative features like the QuantumCor technology, ultra-thin face, and titanium inserts make them the real deal.
I’m super satisfied with the entire in-person fitting experience with PXG and I can’t wait to try these clubs on the course and start seeing lower scores.
I’m now ready to tackle the fall season with a newfound confidence and the best tools in the game! If you're looking for a serious upgrade to your irons, PXG GEN7 Irons are a must-try club this season.
