In our forums, our members have been reacting to a glowing review from a member over PXG’s 0317CB irons. WRXer ‘zlawson36’ goes in-depth in his love for the irons, saying:

“There are a few threads out there that mention how great the PXG 0317CBs are, but not a dedicated thread, so I decided to open one for folks to discuss their experience. 

I had to have wrist surgery last season, and upon being cleared, I decided to get re-fit for clubs as my speed and dynamics have changed. I live in Lexington, KY, and there is a PXG store in Cincinnati, so I made the drive up to get fitted for fairway woods.

While I was there, we settled on fairway woods pretty quickly and had some time to kill, so I asked to try the new Gen 8 T heads as well as the 0317T and 0317CBs. Coming from i230s, the Gen 8 T heads looked fairly similar, but the 0317 lineups were definitely slimmer and slightly more intimidating to look down at. 

I swing a 7-iron right around 80-83 mph. First swing with the CB gave me 116 mph ballspeed and 171 yards of carry (indoors, Trackman 4, RCT Pro V1). The spin was right around 5800 rpm and a decent angle of 47 degrees. Not to mention off the face it felt like the softest club I had ever hit. Next shot, more of the same, and again, and again. After 12 balls, I averaged 170 carry with this 33* 7 iron. 

I ended up being fit into the CBs 6-GW and a 5 in the T head. KBS Tour 120S +1″ and 1* upright. I have had them on the course, and I am extremely happy with the turf interaction. My average yardages have jumped, and I have gained a new level of confidence in my iron game.

Gapping:

GW: 120

PW: 135

9i: 150

8: 160

7: 170

6: 183

5: 195

All I can say, is my iron search may finally be over. These are in unicorn territory for me. The honeymoon period is definitely real, but I haven’t felt this way about my iron play in a handful of years.”

• jblough99: “Had a set a few years ago, hands down the softest feeling irons I’ve ever played, and I use an X ball.  Can’t imagine what it would be like with a low compression ball.”
• sheppy335: “Glad you got fitted and it is going well for you. I did the same thing this year and had the fitter check all lofts and lengths for me, I had lengths all over the place but the lofts were great and so was the shafts.”
