0311 P GEN8
The PXG 0311 P GEN8 is a players distance iron released in 2026, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8–18 HCP) who want the look and feel of a players' iron with added distance from a hollow or partially hollow construction. These irons bridge the gap between workability and forgiveness. The 2026 model's 7-iron is lofted at 30°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

Technology
About the PXG 0311 P GEN8
The PXG 0311 P GEN8 features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
Loft Analysis
The PXG 0311 P GEN8's 7-iron is lofted at 30° — 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 150–160 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 43° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50–52° gap wedge.

- ✓Golfers currently in game-improvement irons who are ready to step up
- ✓Players who prioritise distance and workability over maximum forgiveness
