PXG's 0311 GEN7 is the players distance iron in the 2025 lineup, and it splits the difference a lot of golfers actually want. You get a compact head that looks the part at address, but the 29.5-degree 7-iron and hollow-body construction push ball speed harder than a traditional forged blade ever could. The lofts are strong without being silly. A 20-degree 4-iron and 43-degree pitching wedge tell you this set is built to go, and the consistent 4-degree gaps keep the distances honest through the bag.
What makes it work is everything PXG packs inside the head. The cavity is filled with XCOR2, the company's polymer core, which backs up a thin forged face so it can flex without feeling harsh or sounding clicky. That's usually the problem with fast, strong-lofted irons. They feel dead. This one doesn't. Tungsten weighting sits low in the head to get the ball airborne despite those stronger lofts, and the forged construction gives you the dense, soft sound at impact that better players expect.
This is not a set that hides your mistakes the way a chunky game-improvement iron does. It's forgiving for its class, but the head is compact and the sole is on the thinner side, so it rewards decent contact. If you're a mid-to-low handicap who wants more carry and a taller flight without dropping down to a full cavity-back, this is the PXG that fits. Just know you're paying PXG prices to get there.
In short
The PXG 0311 GEN7 (2025) is a players-distance iron that blends ball speed with a clean shape. The set runs 4-iron to 48-iron with a 29.5° 7-iron. It carries a $695 MSRP.

The 0311 GEN7 is a hollow-body forged iron. Face and body are forged from HT1770 steel for a thin, fast face, and the internal cavity is filled with XCOR2 polymer so the face can flex at impact while the core soaks up vibration. Tungsten weighting is placed low and precisely to pull the center of gravity down, which is how a 29.5-degree 7-iron still launches high enough to land soft and hold a green. Progressive design runs through the set. The long irons carry more of the ball-speed tech and a slightly larger footprint to help get them up, while the short irons tighten for control. Topline and offset stay moderate, so it sits cleaner behind the ball than most distance irons. PXG also includes its full range of shaft and grip options with no upcharge, which matters a lot when you're dialing in lofts this strong.
The PXG 0311 GEN7's 7-iron is lofted at 29.5° - 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 152-162 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 6.5° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids.
The 7-iron is 29.5 degrees, roughly four to five degrees stronger than a classic forged 7-iron and close to what a lot of game-improvement sets run. The set steps in even 4-degree increments, from a 20-degree 4-iron down to a 43-degree pitching wedge. Because that PW is so strong, plan your wedge gapping carefully. A 43-degree pitching wedge leaves a big jump down to a standard 50 or 52-degree gap wedge, so you'll likely want a wedge in between.
For a players distance iron, yes. The hollow head and low tungsten weighting give you a bigger effective sweet spot and higher launch than a blade, so off-center strikes hold their speed better. It's not a max-forgiveness game-improvement club, though. The compact head and thinner sole want clean contact, so a higher handicapper who fights fat and thin shots would probably be happier in PXG's more forgiving XP model.
XCOR2 is the polymer PXG packs inside the hollow head. It supports the thin forged face so it can flex for ball speed, and it kills the hollow, clicky sound that fast, strong-lofted irons often make. In practice it means the 0311 GEN7 feels dense and soft at impact instead of hot and empty, which is the main reason better players can live with lofts this strong.
The T is the tour model, a smaller head with weaker, more traditional lofts for players who prioritize workability and control over raw distance. The XP is the max-distance, most forgiving option with the largest head. The 0311 GEN7 players distance sits in the middle. It gives you more speed and forgiveness than the T while staying cleaner and more compact than the XP.
With lofts this strong, you really should. A fitting sets your launch, spin, and gapping, and it makes sure the stronger lofts don't leave you with flat, low-spinning long irons or awkward gaps into your wedges. PXG includes shaft and grip fitting without the upcharges some brands tack on, so there's little reason to buy them off the rack.
