PXG Gen 8

[Lefty87]

We’re likely a few months away from the next release. Has anyone heard anything? What would you like to see from the next line? 

[leftycabe]

I wish they would remake the Gen 3 or a Gen 5 0311 T and P line with an improved look.
 

Although it sounds a little weird to say, I think Gen 5 had it almost perfect except for the area where they had the little area on the toe and heel that were the different color. If they would have kept the entire head the same color, I think the look would be more refined. I would probably encourage some mill marks to be shown like all the other heads. The one thing the must do is mill in the logo. The sticker/patch thing they used in the 0317 line cheapens the look, in my opinion. 

 

Shape wise - I wouldn’t mind seeing them be a bit more compact and thinned out a touch. That being said, using the same size as the Gen 3 or 5 would not be a deal breaker for me either.  
 

The main reason I loved both of these is because they actually had some spin whereas the 0317 T have no spin. 

 

Keep the Gen 5 T feel and spin (maybe a touch more spin) and improve the look a bit and I’ll be one of the first in line. 
 

Last thing - go back to including the T in Gen 8. No PGA Tour players play it anyway, so there is no need to try to fit it in the 0317 line. I think the vast majority of buyers would combo the T and P rather than T and CB or MB.

Huh? The 0317T has excellent spin. PXG fitter I worked with said the design was intended to add more spin and consistency vs previous PXG irons. Spin above 6000 on a 7 iron, plus a steep descent angle. They stop really well. 
 

Here’s the opening paragraph from another site’s review of the 0317T:

 

“The PXG 0317 T irons use hollow body technology to give better players more forgiveness.  High spin and excellent distance consistency.  Extremely solid feel.”

My experience said otherwise during my testing. There are also YouTube videos/reviews referencing the low spin aspect. I’m sure there are others out there that love them and you appear to be one of them. That’s fine too. The OP asked what we would anticipate or change and I gave my opinion. You are entitled to yours as well. Doesn’t make either of us wrong.

I think the Gen 7's are pretty much the best they have made to date. Going to be hard to beat them in my mind. If I had to pick my 2nd best it would be the Gen 4's for sure followed by the Gen 3's.

 

I never did like the Gen 5's, the only generation of PXG irons I never owned. Golf is so personal with feel, performance and looks.

definitely personal….. I have not hit the Gen 7, so I can’t speak to them but I’m a T player with a P 4 iron, typically. Since there are no Ts in the Gen 7 and the 0317 Ts didn’t work well for me, I just never bothered with the 7s. I like the look though, for sure.

I’d like to see them roll out an all-new version of the 0317 CBs and then cut the price of the current version in half. I’m not made of money.

[AdExec]

I’m an oddball that never had spin issues with PXG P models on course/grass. Spin both Gen 5 and Gen 7 7 irons I’ve played in the 6800 range. Can get 7200 hitting fades with them. 
 

I love how easy they are to hit, but I end up with odd gapping of roughly 15 yards between clubs and find myself constantly finessing shots by hitting hard or trying to take something off. 
 

I’ve been bouncing between Srixon zxi combo set and my friends Gen 7 P irons recently and have mostly settled on Srixon…but the Gen 7 irons are just so easy to hit high and long anytime I have a bad round I wonder the what ifs. 

[Lefty87]

The only thing I’d really like to see in Gen 8 is a refined sole. The P and XP models are supposed to be player/player distance models, but the sole on the XP is almost as wide as an SGI.

They're almost 2 years old, so I'd assume an update is coming...

I would consider the XP game improvement.

I used to as well, but PXG does not consider the 0311 models game improvement. They now have the black ops irons as well as the wildcat irons which are their GI and SGI offerings.

0317 on sale now 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[tomg1969]

I’ve owned most Gens of 0311 and will probably dive into the Gen 8 when they release them.  I know this has been said by many others,I really do wish that they would do a better job with shaft options. 

I play graphite in my irons and nothing that they offer is in my top 3-4 choices. Seeing the same tired offerings year after year is getting old.

Completely agree. I’ve had multiple iron fittings and the shaft options were severely limited each time. They have a huge wall of shafts but only a select few are available.

I don't think the Gen 7 irons are a year old yet.  We are approaching the 2nd anniversary of the 0317 line.  I would expect them to be updated between now and September.  That's just my guess.

That anniversary came and went. I’ve had my CBs since April 2023.

I was wrong when I said the 0317 line was introduced in September 2023.

The 0317 ST was introduced in September 2022.  The 0317 CB was introduced in April 2023.  The 0317 T was introduced in September 2023.  The T was the model I was waiting for and remember they arrived on the introduction day that September.  It was a few months later when my son took the T’s and I moved to the CB’s.

So we’re about 2 months away from a possible Gen 8 release? Hopefully we start to hear rumblings sooner than later.

Have a call out to my PXG friend get to bottom of this.  Agree here, has to be a new 0317 line in pipeline soon.  It’s been a while now.  

[Lefty87]

Have you heard anything? 

[Lefty87]

Just here to bump the thread. Surprised we haven’t heard anything yet. I’m trying to hold out for Gen 8 but it’s tempting with all the new releases. Gen 7 just didn’t do it for me but I want to give PXG a shot at my business with Gen 8. 

[DE-ILLINI]

Gen 7 came out last August.  I think announcements came out in July, so it should be soon.

[055]

Prices probably up. Did their discount change a bit too?

[thatkidd304]

I’m holding off ordering my last sugar daddy wedge in hopes they’re heavily discounted when the 4’s are announced like they did with the 2’s.

I would think there would be no new Sugar Daddy’s for a while.  They are still new and they don’t upgrade those as often.  

 

Hoping Gen 8 irons this year, but who knows.   When did the Special Ops drivers come out where they last year or early this year?

Gen 8?  What could possibly be different?  Seriously.

Yes, why bother innovating and releasing new equipment at all....

EVERY SINGLE YEAR?  Does that make any sense at all?!
