I haven’t hit the GEN6 XP Rick – that was Matt Saternus. Typically there isn’t a huge performance difference between model years, but PXG isn’t normal. The data I saw showed notable improvements with the GEN7. That said, it’s hard to justify upgrading every generation financially.

Matt, I purchased the chrome on chrome Gen 6 XP earlier this year. I do like the look of the Gen 7, but in looking to sell the Gen 6, I would lose a lot of $. Having hit them both would you think sticking with mine isn’t much of a disadvantage?

Thanks

I have a set of Gen6 0311P and Gen6 0311XP. I play 6-GW in the 0311P and 7-GW in the 0311XP. Loft for me starts at 25* then 5*/iron to 50* GW in the 0311P and 45* GW in the 0311XP. I have a Cleveland CBX ZipCore 50 to add to the XP set.

XP stock is 1/2” longer and roughly 3* stronger loft than the corresponding P iron. Don’t pay attention to the # stamped on the sole anymore. Know your loft and length to a direct comparison.

Being able to change out the big center weight makes reshafting or swing weighting so much easier as no tip weights required.

In reply to eric fox.

I didn’t observe any issues Eric. There’s more to ball flight than stamped lofts – plus PXG designers are really smart. That said, checking gapping with a qualified fitter is always a good idea.

Thanks for reading.

The loft gapping on these irons seems pretty bad almost like they need a wedge between the PW and S. Did you notice any issue there pretty sharp.

Wild to think that Wishon had irons that met the USGA COR limit back in 2009. Granted they used Titanium faces and weren’t hollow body designed but it just goes to show that it’s nothing new.
