That’s a great analysis and I agree with you. Manufacturers decide on lofts based on gapping.

Spin was good Jim. I don’t have the TM data handy, but can tell you my ball flight was high with green grabbing landing angles. If/when you get to hit the new GEN7, chime back in and let everyone know what differences you observe.

Do these have good spin? Did you capture the spin data on any clubs? I still have Gen 3 P’s. Gens after that did go faster, but also a flatter flight with less spin, so my concern is knuckleballs that fly far but skip over the green. Thanks!

Comments and suggestions are always welcome Jonathan. Others find the path fairly straightforward: Each writer is featured under the ‘About’ tab, and from there the WITB is available. Try it a couple times and lock it in.

Thanks Matt. One small, ‘meek’ suggestion: It would be great if you guys had a WITB link that was easy to find in the top navigation tabs. This may betray stupidity on my part, but I can hardly ever find it and often have to resort to Googling something like “Matt Meeker pluggedingolf WITB” and click on the link in the results. Thanks!

The traditional 3/4 degree gapping came about to create equal distance increments from iron to iron. With the superior launch capabilities of newer technologies, the degree increments have increased to maintain traditional distance increments.

Great observation Jonathan. Yes, the KBS are in the set right now. PXG didn’t have the VACs in their shaft option lineup, so I wasn’t able to evaluate them during my fitting. I hope to try the irons with the Badazz at Club Champion in the near future now that the GEN7s are released. If a change is made, you’ll see it on our social channels and in my WITB page.

From the pic in the article, it looks like you went with the KBS Max graphite iron shaft, correct? Any comparison of that with the VA Composites? Did you consider using the VAC shafts in your new set? Would I be right in assuming the VAC shafts gave you something you needed with the Cobra heads but you don’t need with the Gen 7’s? Any insight into that would be appreciated.

Nice one Harvey. PXG does provide hard data, but the key for me was witnessing the testing and seeing the results in their R&D labs.

Thanks for reading.
