Today, Ian is in the bay to test the new PXG Black Ops irons, a cavity back iron set for mid-high handicap players, offering forgiving technology and lofts to help raise your game. Come see how Ian feels about the clubs after hitting them and how he thinks they could get even better.

I hope these aren't a replacement of the 0211 line.
Always love the content. One request though from a viewer perspective: Could you modify the club results to show height? Always curious how high these different irons, drivers, etc are launching. Unless i’m missing something i never see peak height stats anywhere. Thanks!
Never saw anything from you guys on the 0211 st blades, any thoughts on those?
The sole width on those, at least on camera, appear crazy. I get the idea of lowering CG to help get ball in air, which the premium brands do by adding high mass material into sole. PXG has decided to simply place a huge slab of blade thickness there. It lowers cg but also compromises turf interaction. We have speed challenged players no we facing increased turf drag with so much sold thickness, thus the low CG benefit is partially lost.
Would be interesting to compare this club vs say a P790 or MP245 with a much narrower sole. Give them for Mike to swing and compare club speed, ball height, spin rate, etc. Aesthetically alone these are a hard no but if their performance is as I suspect for slower swingers, I can’t see any benefit to these. A shallow swinger will suffer so much turf drag to lose 2-3 mph in clubspeed while the steeper aoa striker may find more chunky ball strikes.
Ive had the Xcore2's for a year and absolutely love them, forgiving, looks good down at the ball, launches high. I am thinking about upgrading to these. I am an 8 handicap right now, and don't have any issues playing a more forgiving iron, golf is hard enough. I can still move the ball left and right too.
Good but…ugly
Can we get a Haywood SV2 review?
Hello, love the videos and content.
I’ve played the Hogan irons until they closed. They are back and I would for you to review there new PTX TOUR Irons
Thank you
You say 8 handicap and upwards 2:00 how does that work with higher swing speeds?
Nothing says "Black Ops" like a chunky high handicap iron. This would be like Ping calling their G430 line the "Tour" line. Feels like PXG got their naming backwards.
Bought these, fantastic irons! Feel great, fly high and straight, sit perfectly behind the ball (wider sole is not an issue at address). I already consider these the best irons I have ever owned.
Hi guys, really enjoy all of your videos. I have the 0211 dualcor irons and I love them, but I would definitely consider switching to the Black Ops irons.
The problem with this is that when doing a fitting there wont be the 3 irons available to hit

Demonstrating at a lower clubhead speed makes your already excellent reviews more valuable to the average golfer. I have a low 70’s swing speed (14hcp) and although I was recommended the Gen 7 XP, with its stronger lofts, I now wonder if the black ops might be worth trying against them.
