The 0311 GEN6 in PXG's Players Cavity build is a mid-handicap iron that hides a lot of technology behind a fairly clean shape. It uses a hollow-body head packed with PXG's polymer core, so the feel at impact is soft and muted rather than clicky, which is unusual for a cast iron. At a 31-degree 7-iron, the lofts sit a touch stronger than a traditional players iron but well short of the jacked-up numbers you see in pure distance clubs.
What separates this from a blade or a thin players iron is forgiveness. The tungsten weighting lets PXG push mass low and to the perimeter without making the head look bloated, so off-center strikes hold their line and keep their height better than the topline width suggests. You still get feedback on where you caught it, just without the sting.
This is a good fit if you want a cleaner-looking iron that plays easier than it looks. It won't turn a 15 into a scratch player, and it isn't trying to be a pure distance iron either. What it does is give a mid-handicapper a forgiving head that still rewards a good swing.
In short
The PXG 0311 GEN6 (2024) is a players cavity that adds forgiveness without much extra size. The set runs 4-iron to PW with a 31° 7-iron. It carries a $595 MSRP.

Carry distances are modeled from TrackMan-based norms scaled to each club's loft, not measured for this exact model.
The head is a hollow cast body with a thin face, and the internal cavity is filled with PXG's polymer to kill vibration and firm up the face for ball speed. Tungsten weights sit at the perimeter and low in the head, which pulls the center of gravity down and out to raise launch and steady the club on mishits. That construction is why the sole and topline stay relatively compact while the club still behaves like a game-improvement iron. The 31-degree 7-iron and the progressive lofts through the set are set up for a strong, penetrating flight, with the longer irons (21-degree 4-iron, 23.5-degree 5-iron) leaning on the tungsten and low CG to get airborne. Vibration dampening from the polymer core is the reason a cast iron here feels closer to a forged one at contact.
The PXG 0311 GEN6's 7-iron is lofted at 31° - 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 147-157 yards. The 5-iron (23.5°) 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 44° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Yes. Even though it wears a cleaner, more compact shape than most game-improvement irons, the hollow body and perimeter tungsten weighting make it forgiving on off-center hits. It holds line and height on mishits better than the topline suggests, which suits mid handicappers well.
They're moderately strong. The 7-iron is 31 degrees, which is stronger than a traditional players iron sitting around 34 but not as aggressive as pure distance irons in the 28 to 29 range. The set runs from a 21-degree 4-iron down to a 44-degree pitching wedge.
PXG fills the hollow head with a polymer core that dampens vibration and supports the thin face. That combination mutes the harsh feedback you'd normally get from a cast head, so impact feels closer to a forged iron than the construction would suggest.
The Players Cavity slots between the more compact tour-style heads and the larger, higher-launching Xtreme Performance model. It gives up a little workability compared to the tour build in exchange for more forgiveness, while staying cleaner and more compact than the max-game-improvement option.
The tungsten lets PXG place heavy mass low and around the perimeter of the head. That drops the center of gravity to raise launch and boosts stability so the face resists twisting on mishits, all without forcing a wider sole or thicker topline.
