PXG 0311 P and XP GEN7 Irons, Black Ops Irons, and Sugar Daddy III Wedges Fitting Review

To say PXG is coming out guns blazing with their new 0311 P and XP GEN7 irons (and really the Black Ops irons and Sugar Daddy III wedges as well) would be a massive understatement.  Some of the things I experienced during my recent fitting literally made me raise my eyebrows in awe and say out loud, "WOW."

Even my fitter Dustin (who knows my game from previous PXG fittings) was impressed with some of the things I was experiencing.  And quite frankly the 0311 P and XP GEN7 irons, new Black Ops irons, and Sugar Daddy III irons performance all had me so impressed that I can honestly say this new line of clubs is trailblazing with bona fide improvements over previous gens.

Titleist GT Drivers and Fairway Woods FIRST LOOK - A Titleist GT2, GT3, and GT4 Fitting Review

Coming into my Titleist GT driver and fairway woods fitting I was probably more excited than any previous Titleist fitting I've had.  I told you all about all the new tech in the GT line of drivers and woods just over a week ago.  And the chance to finally hit these and see if they lived up to the hype had my adrenaline spiking.  Or so I thought.

The GT lineup actually overdelivered on the hype and my adrenaline continued to rise throughout my fitting.  And I'm not merely talking about liking one model more than the other.  All three GT driver models and both GT fairway wood models legitimately improved ball speed, distance, forgiveness, control, and playability.  There's also a more satisfying and livelier feel at impact with all GT drivers and fairway woods.
