So apparently the PXG 0211 is a great beginners set.  Some are comparing this with the Sub 70.  Anyone try the Sub 70? Because from what I read, the PXG is one of the best irons around.  Great for distance/height, speed and keeping the ball straight.

Not sure what you mean by ‘beginners set.’ Callaway Strata, Topflite, irons in a box set, etc. are beginners clubs. The 0211’s are fantastic irons for just about anyone. They’re not blades but they’re certainly beyond a beginners set.

Maltby does not have data on the 0211 yet. Here is what the previous models rate:

Except for the first model that included a "T", which I assume stood for tour, the clubs seem to be game or super game improvement. With the price reduction in the 0211, I would assume that they are similar in playability.

It may be better in a whole other topic, but do people still actually care about MPF?

I feel like it's off more than it's "on."

The MOI and vertical CoG are interesting data points, but the MPF seems arbitrary at best.

Yeah-when someone references Maltby for the basis of their choice or decision I can’t help but disregard.

The 0311 Gen 3s are also an option. Right now I’m considering the PXG 0211 2021 and the PXG 0311 XP Gen 3s. 
 

not sure if I should go with graphite shaft and if I should change the length of the stick from the standard 37”

I don't think this is off topic. It may deserve its own place for discussion. However, since the OP is asking for help selecting irons and since the MPF is sometimes (although rarely now-a-days) referenced to help players make a selection. I think it is relevant here.

I've never been a fan of the MPF. One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't just categorize clubs, it also seems to lump players into categories. It doesn't take into account a players individual needs/skills/weaknesses. The MPF takes none of those differences into account. Of course, it also ignores that some may like traditional lofts and some may want/need/prefer much more aggressive lofts. 

In addition, the categories it uses are different from what everyone else uses. Which is weird. The industry has category names, why not use them?

But most of all what I don't like about it is that it makes claims like "more consistency" for Super Game Improvement Irons. ... Huh? Does that even make sense? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I just got the 0211 DC 2021. They’re beautiful. I got the Mitsubishi MMT 80g shafts. Second set with these shafts and I’m really happy with them. My Callaway X Forged irons have the Nippon 950GH NEO shaft and that’s probably my favorite steel shaft.

So u didn’t change the shaft from PXG website when u placed the order. You did it later else where?

I ordered the irons with the Mitsubishi shafts from PXG. I had the earlier 0211…needed them bent and no one would do it so I sold them and ordered new 0211 with Mitsubishi shafts.

I only see Nippon and KBS when I check the shaft options.  I don't see Mitsubishi shafts.

I think it is a quick way to understand who a club may be geared for. There are a lot of manufacturers and models. I would be interested in hearing more about people's experiences with MPF and if there is a better way to discern how forgiving a certain design may be.

If the OP was a 20 HI I would think that the other PXG choices would be better that the 0311T.

I would definitely look at MPF to rule out or pare down a decision. Many people don't know what it is and I think it has some value. Maybe it is the mechanical engineer in me.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
