PX
PXG's second crack at the 0311 line landed in 2018, and the GEN2 irons kept the formula that made the company's name while sanding down the rough edges of the originals. This is the 0311 P, the players cavity in the family, sitting between the compact 0311 T blade-ish option and the wide-body 0311 XF built for maximum help. If you want a forged iron that looks tidy behind the ball but still hides some game-improvement tricks inside the head, this is the one PXG points you toward.
The headline is the hollow body stuffed with PXG's polymer core. The face is thin and springy for speed, and the soft filler kills the hollow, clicky feel you might expect from that kind of construction. Tungsten weight low in the head drops the center of gravity so the ball comes off higher than the thin topline suggests. It feels solid at impact, closer to a forged cavity-back than anything hollow.
The catch is price. PXG sold these at a premium, and even used they hold value better than most. You're paying for the fit process, the materials, and the badge. Whether that math works depends on how much the fitting and the feel matter to you versus the ball-speed numbers you could get elsewhere for less.
In short
The PXG 0311 GEN2 (2018) is a players cavity that adds forgiveness without much extra size. The set runs 4-iron to PW with a 32.5° 7-iron. It carries a $595 MSRP.

The 0311 GEN2 P uses a forged body with a thin, high-strength face and a hollow interior packed with PXG's proprietary polymer. That filler is doing two jobs at once. It supports the face so it can flex without failing, and it deadens vibration so the strike feels soft rather than hollow. Tungsten weighting sits low and toward the perimeter, which pulls the center of gravity down and out to raise launch and steady the head on strikes off the sweet spot. The shaping is where the players-cavity label earns its keep. Moderate offset, a topline that reads thin at address, and a sole that isn't overly wide. Lofts are a touch strong, with the 7-iron at 32.5 degrees, so this set flights the ball a little lower and longer than a traditional players iron. It's stronger than a classic muscleback but nowhere near the jacked lofts of a distance iron.
The PXG 0311 GEN2's 7-iron is lofted at 32.5° - traditional - aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 141-151 yards. The 5-iron (25°) to 7-iron gap of 7.5° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 46° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.
It splits the difference. The hollow body and tungsten weighting give you more help than a traditional forged players iron, so off-center hits hold speed and line better than you'd expect from a head this size. It won't rescue a heel strike the way a dedicated game improvement iron like the 0311 XF will, though. Think forgiving for a compact iron, not maximum forgiveness overall.
A little. The 7-iron is 32.5 degrees, which is stronger than a classic players iron in the 34 to 35 range but not as aggressive as the 28 to 30 degree lofts you see in distance irons. You get some extra ball flight and carry, and the wedge gapping down to a 46 degree pitching wedge is normal. Most players slot a 50 or 52 degree gap wedge underneath.
No, and that's the point of the polymer core. PXG fills the head with a soft internal material that supports the thin face and soaks up vibration. The result feels soft and solid, closer to a forged cavity-back than the hard, hollow sensation you might expect. Feel is one of the strongest parts of this iron.
That depends on what you value. The materials, the polymer construction, and the fitting process are real, and the feel is excellent. But you can get similar ball speed and forgiveness from other forged irons for meaningfully less money. If a proper fitting and premium feel matter to you, the price makes sense. If you're chasing numbers on a launch monitor, shop around first.
Pick the P if you want the middle ground. The 0311 T is the compact, lower-launching option for better ball strikers who want workability. The XF is the wide-body built for maximum forgiveness and a higher flight. The P gives you a clean players-iron look with enough built-in help for mid handicappers, which makes it the most versatile choice in the GEN2 lineup for most golfers.
