Is PXG Dying?

[Sandy Divot]

On the commercials they say you have to buy direct. Are there places to demo the clubs, and get fit?

In my browser, in the upper right, there is a link that will take you to their fitting locations.

Then, when on that page, click on the "View List" where they are all listed by state.

They have and are continuing to open their own stores. There is one here in Dallas about 20-25 minutes from me. If you get fit and order then, or order by phone you can have the clubs delivered to one of their stores if you have one nearby. Saves from having to sign for them and there is no shipping charge that way, though their shipping charges have recently been drastically reduced.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, or if you know of a facility, call them directly. We can book people for free every Tuesday at Golf Evolution.

Despite being a cast, not forged iron, I find contact just as pleasing as I do with my Apex 19s. I haven't seen the performance on the course that I saw in my fitting, yet. I may need time to adjust to the added length or offset, or, it could just be the cold weather and having to wear as many as 5 layers to stay warm! I think they are a great value for someone on a budget in particular and they really are a nice looking club.

I too have a set of the PXG 0211 DC irons. And, the 0211 driver. I love the driver. The irons, I'm still on the fence. I think I may be hitting my Titleist 718 API irons better than the PXG. Unfortunately, while testing them out at a local course early last week, I managed to trip over my own dang feet and took a tumble on the cart path. I believe I may have bruised a rib or two. I tried golfing this past Monday but the pain was bad enough I had to quit. Hopefully, another week should see me healed up again enough to get back out there.

And (off topic) if you have something to add about the Arccos Golf Caddy there is a thread or two elsewhere.

Ouch! Hope you heal quickly!

We all have those moments! I've suffered three fairly serious injuries on a golf course over the years. 

The first instance, I tried to walk down a steep slope to hit my next shot. It was dormant Bermuda grass and my foot slipped right out from under me even though I was wearing spikes. I fell back against the slope and tried to catch my fall with my right arm. In the process of doing so I fractured my forearm, just above the wrist. Ever since that incident I've become paranoid about traction in golf shoe.

Another instance was when I was hitting a lay-up shot on a par 5. My cart partner had parked the cart on the other side of a poorly maintained drain in the middle of the fairway (the course was built in a flood plain), about 18 inches square and about a foot or more deep. I failed to look down as I turned to get back to the cart, following the flight of the ball instead, and I stepped in that drain, fracturing my right leg just above the ankle. I could actually hear the "crack" of the bone breaking. UGH!

In both instances, I went to the same ortho, a fellow golfer whom I had played with on several occasions. He took x-rays and since there was no dislocation of any bones, nothing having to be "set", he gave me a brace for the arm and when it was my leg just a boot for it. I didn't even have to wear either 100% of the time. After taking x-rays for a couple of weeks, I was lucky in that there was no movement of any bones, so he cleared me for chipping and putting with the arm and for actually playing with that boot on my right foot. I played so well with the boot on that some of my friends were offering to buy it from me when I no longer needed it!  LOL

In the third case, I stuck a club in the ground, and thought I had sprained my wrist. Ultimately, it took a long while to get the correct diagnosis, but I had completely broken my hook-of-hamate bone and had to go to a hand specialist to have the bone surgically removed. That one took a good while to recover from.

Don't beat yourself up over it! I hope you get out there soon with no lingering effects. Play well!

Sorry, I originally missed this. I don't know enough about Arccos other than looking into it and deciding it wasn't for me.
