What GolfWRXers are saying about lower handicap players using SGI irons

Published

3 years ago

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing whether SGI irons can be advantageous for low handicap players. WRXer ‘Mcc1972’ has recently made the switch and says:

“I’m a 2.7 getting close to 50 years old. Ditching my Titleist CB’s for PXG SGI’s. They look like shovels, but they are a joke to hit. Anyone else?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the subject in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • MilesS: “just put Srixon 545’s in the bag today. Replaced Titleist MB/CB combo. Don’t have a comparison yet but excited to see the difference. Hdcp +.5”
  • Jeffrey r: “I believe someone here recently went with the PXG SGI with success. I dabbled with the SGI, without success. They were simply too large for me, and I could not hit them consistently at all, at least in the 5 and 6 irons that I tried them in.”
  • A.Princey: “I play what lowers my score most. After some really low rounds, my clubs start to look very purrrrty in the bag, regardless of what they are.”
  • SEP1006: “My HCP hovers around 6, and I play the PXG XP’s. Very forgiving and not too big.”
