PXG 0311 GEN3 Irons
The PXG 0311 GEN3 is a players cavity iron released in 2020, designed for low to mid handicappers (typically 0-12 HCP) who want a players' look at address with a touch more forgiveness than a full blade. The cavity provides perimeter weighting that supports slightly off-centre strikes. The 2020 model's 7-iron is lofted at 31.5°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

Technology
About the PXG 0311 GEN3
The PXG 0311 GEN3 features a classic cavity back construction that redistributes weight to the perimeter for improved MOI while maintaining the look and feel preferred by lower-handicap golfers. At impact it delivers a blend of feedback and forgiveness, with a slightly softer sensation than a blade on well-struck shots.
Loft Analysis
The PXG 0311 GEN3's 7-iron is lofted at 31.5° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 145-155 yards. The 5-iron (24°) 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 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the PXG 0311 GEN3?
- ✓Low to mid handicappers (0-12 HCP) looking for a refined address profile
- ✓Players who want some perimeter weighting without a game-improvement look
- ✓Improving golfers moving down from a game-improvement set
- ✓Golfers carrying a 7-iron in the 145-165 yard window
