Ever since its founding, PXG has had a reputation of making some of the most expensive golf clubs on the market. They didn’t make any bones about it either. They say their clubs are superior and by all accounts a lot of golfers agree.
But during pandemic-stricken 2021, company founder Bob Parsons did something no one was expecting. He introduced the 0211 irons at a price that vastly undercut the competition. Why? It’s anybody’s guess. Maybe he felt sorry for us golfers who were stuck inside like everyone else.
Whatever the case may be, the 0211 irons remain some of the most popular on the market, even in 2022.
One of the major reasons is that they can benefit just about any golfer.
Key Features
- Progressive set design provides forgiveness in the long irons, and playability in the short clubs.
- Stronger lofts and longer lengths increase distance throughout the bag.
- Hollow clubheads increase COR for faster ball speeds and increased distance.
Who Should Buy the PXG 0211 Irons?
PXG claims that their 0211 irons are perfect for any golfer, regardless of ability. As far as we can tell that sentiment seems to hold true.
Rank beginners benefit from these clubs’ forgiving characteristics. Seasoned veterans appreciate their classic look and responsive feel.
The 0211 irons can easily fit to anyone’s game and have plenty of customizable options too.
PXG 0211 Irons Detailed Review
Design and Technology
As we’ve come to expect with PXG, there is no shortage of technology and design features in the 0211 irons.
To start, the set is designed progressively. That means the longer irons have slightly larger blades and a little more offset for more forgiveness. As you work your way toward your short irons, the blades become smaller and the offset less pronounced.
Bounce is also part of the progressive set conversation. Longer clubs with lower lofts have less bounce as turf interactional is more minimal. Conversely, the short irons and wedges have more bounce as they spend more time against the turf through impact.
Each club also incorporates what PXG has coined DualCOR Technology.
Internally, the 0211 irons feature a soft polymer core that increases face flexion at impact. The result is a higher COR and more ball speed.
Externally, high-strength polymer gives the thin face all the support it needs to react optimally on contact with the ball.
Upon first looking at the 0211 irons, you’ll notice that the top line is angled away from the face. This removes mass from the heel and moves it toward the toe where most golfers tend to mishit shots. Accordingly, the CG is moved closer to the clubface’s center for increased MOI.
Lastly, the faces on the 0211 irons are some of the thinnest ever made. They’re more than durable though as they’re constructed of HT1770 maraging steel. They only measure 1.55mm in thickness.

- Price point is affordable, not something PXG can normally claim.
- Progressive set makeup optimizes both distance and control throughout the bag.
- Ultra-thin faces are some of the hottest in the game.
- Fitting options aren’t as advanced as other PXG clubs.
- Shipping times can be longer than expected due to such high demand.
- Somewhat limited shaft options.

Our Experience
When PXG first showed up on the club production scene, I was a little startled by their aggressive claims and in-you-face marketing.
But it didn’t take long before I became a believer. Every piece of PXG equipment I’ve ever hit has exceeded my expectations, and the 0211 irons are no exception.
It’s easy to see why such a wide array of players employ these clubs. They’re plenty forgiving, but also possess all the properties that good players expect.
And the best part? These are the most affordable irons PXG has ever made.
Conclusion
If you haven’t tried the PXG 0211 irons, you should. We probably won’t see PXG release anything this affordable again anytime soon.
But it’s not just the low price that makes these clubs so appealing. They’re packed with proven technology and design features that benefit beginning and advanced players, and everyone in between.
I’ll leave it at this, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t at least give these irons a try.
