Only just picked this up. I live in Morpeth but don't know this guy. Are PXG going to one of the local clubs and he is the fitter or does he have a unit somewhere?
Had the fitting happened now? How did it go?

According to their fitter today, he was playing PXG when he won the Open. The price is a serious issue but I have to say that the irons are very impressive.

He was using Tits to win the Open in 2015.
Switched to PXG at the end of the 15 season if my memory serves me right!!!

He's one of two authorized PXG fitters and has the van. The fitting was this afternoon and has left me with a lot to think about. The irons are very impressive. Very consistent flight and, according to Trackman, with the seven iron their was 8 yards between one out of the screws and one that was nearly out of the grooves at the toe. As for the four iron, wow. I was carrying it over 200 yards into a stiff breeze and would have stayed there another hour just ripping it. Have a word with David Clark because Laurence is back next month. The problem is, at age 69, can I justify £1600. Going to have a look at the new Mizuno JPX919 in a week or so. Then it's decision time.

I said that but apparently the bag and headcovers said Titleist but the clubs were PXG. We need someone who got a look in his bag!
At 48 with two kids I certainly can't justify them 😂. At 69, surely no dependents now
. I was interested to hear where you tried them. David is a good bloke. I've had lessons from I'm previously and they worked well. You had good weather today anyway for the fitting.Mr Hip

Dependants or not, £1600! Makes my eyes water.

Personally I believe he was with Titleist.

Johnson went to PXG beginning of the 2016 season - he was still with Titleist when he won the Open

As I said, that's what I thought but Laurence said no, he'd already bagged PXG.

I'm not sure what you get for £1600, but having worked my way through the thread, it's less than i was starting to imagine. And in a way, not grossly different to the more mainstream OEMs. As a retirement treat to myself, l bought a fully fitted set of Ping G400s - non standard shafts, non standard grips etc - the works. They were expensive - and obviously more than an off the shelf set . Ok, the PXGs are more expensive (assuming a rough like-for-like in terms of quantity of clubs) - but the difference is not that startling.

You can't take it with you...
All joking aside, looking at some of the numbers Taylor Made are coming up with now, these don't seem that unreasonable.

What you get for £1600 is a cheap set! The model I have been quoted for is being replaced so the price has been reduced. The reality is that a bag full of PXG won't change your game if your swing is, let's call it inconsistent. Mine hasn't been that good for a couple of years. I don't think changing clubs will significantly affect my game for better or worse - but - I really liked them. Still going to look at the JPX 919 though.

It was Titleist gear when I seen him. In fact I still use 909 hybrids and so did he at the time and that's what caught my eye.

PXG gen 2 irons start at £2400 and go up.
At £1600 they are gen 1- old stock that’s being discounted to clear.

Did nearly three hours at an independent iron fitting yesterday.
Hit 2 x PXG models
2 x Taylor Mades
A Mizuno
and two Srixons.
Couldn't get on with the PXG's at all, regardless of what shaft we chopped and changed.
Srixons for me were wow.
Also looking at a Driving iron.
Srixon was ok
Gen 2 PXG good
Gen 1 PXG BOOOOOM

I probably wouldn't believe the PXG fitter who's trying to sell some PXG clubs by claiming that Zach Johnson used them disguised with Titleist headcovers. How ridiculous.

There's another source that says it was all Titleist (bar the SeeMore putter).
he was on "on the range" on Sky the following year and all his clubs in the PXG bag apart from the wedges were Titleist, with PXG head covers. Charl Swartzel was the same, but not a single PXG club in his bag
