What do amateur golfers worry about the most? Is it the distance of their drives? Or is it achieving a swing as stylish as that of tour pros? Or perhaps it's their scores? All of these are important, but when I first started golfing, I put a lot of effort into developing a beautiful swing.
I’m still not completely satisfied with my swing, but when I think back to my early days... I feel embarrassed looking at videos or photos from when I first broke 100 and thought I was a decent player. I really thought I looked cool back then with that awful swing!

Those worries have remained, even as I’ve become a single-digit golfer with a score in the 70s and earned my USGTF teaching pro certification. After each round, I analyze my swing videos and strive to create a cleaner swing... You know how it is, right? After a lesson, you can’t seem to hit the ball at all, lol.

I guess that’s why my scores always fluctuate. On days when I think, “Yes, this is it!” at the driving range, I often find myself shooting in the mid to high 80s on the course, and when I feel like I should take it easy, I end up hitting the ball perfectly.
Is this what they call "milled turf" in professional terms? lol. Anyway, golf seems to lack a definitive answer, which might be what makes it such an attractive sport.
So, why am I sharing all this? I want to explain the incredible comfort of the PXG GEN7 0311P irons. Since I started using these, no matter how much I change my swing or try out strange imitations, my iron mishits have significantly decreased.
I now understand why iron forgiveness is so important. I can't help but recommend the GEN7 0311P irons for men... I recently shot under par in my last round after switching to these irons, thanks to their exceptional shot feel that created birdie chances on nearly every hole.
On the green, the "Zero Torque Putter Allen" also performed exceptionally well. While irons are important, I recommend the PXG Zero Torque Putter to anyone who often loses strokes due to poor putting.
I've been wondering why I didn't use such great irons before. In fact, after the GEN7 irons were released last year, I did a few reviews on my blog and Instagram, but I mostly used the 0317CB irons that I originally had on the course.
The reason was simple: as a man, I felt I should use MB irons... you know how it is? lol. PXG offers representative advanced models like the muscle back 0317ST and cavity back 0317CB. The important thing is that when you actually use them, they aren't that difficult. Because they are fully forged irons, they have a soft feel and are almost zero offset, making it easy to shape shots like fades or draws, which is why I stuck with the 0317CB model.
However, this year, focusing on parenting has definitely reduced my practice time and the number of rounds I play, which seems to have impacted my iron accuracy significantly. Recently, I even experienced iron yips, and while trying to adopt the upright backswing preferred by PGA Tour players, I think my body rotation has been lacking, causing my swing sequence to get a bit tangled.
Additionally, many intermediate golfers have preconceived notions about cavity-back irons. I used to think the same way, worrying that the distance variance was too great when I hit well versus when I didn’t.
The design is stunning, and I chose black, which adds a unique flair. However, in reality, the GEN7 irons look more luxurious in silver than in black. So, if the next generation PXG GEN8 irons come out, I will definitely choose silver... ^^
