I enjoyed testing the 0311 P irons and found that they pretty much delivered everything that PXG claimed, with good distance, plenty of forgiveness and a bit of workability too. The feel of this golf club seemed to match the head shape well, it was strong, solid and felt pretty powerful which gave you confidence that you were going to be able to get pretty decent distance. I would say that the lofts of these irons are pretty strong, with a 7 iron coming in at 30 degrees, which probably went some way to explaining why I saw a decent increase in distance. The head design looks pretty futuristic to me and if you're a traditionalist it might take a bit of getting used to, but I don't mind seeing a bit of 'visible tech' on my golf clubs as it reminds me that the manufacturer is helping you out where they can. They definitely give you confidence at address and eventhough I was just hitting off a mat I did see decent forgiveness levels, which was shown by the consistency of the numbers.
The irons themselves are said to be PXG's low-to-mid handicap option which I would agree with, although the large footprint at address and slightly boxy shape probably pushed them more into the 'mid' range for me. After just a few minutes I saw instant results as my usual toe-strike moved more towards the centre of the face, giving a little more distance and stronger flight. It's amazing to see how such small tweaks to the head's overall makeup can improve performance. PXG like to claim that they do things differently and I was really impressed with the swingweight fitting process. I really enjoyed going through the fitting process to get a specific iron setup which is best suited to me and my game.

To get the lowdown on the new gear I headed to PXG's new Super Hub at The Drift Golf Club, testing the new GEN6 Irons and experiencing a full fitting for the 0311 P irons. On the other hand, the 0311 XP irons are designed for mid-to-high handicappers, featuring a larger head with more offset for a soft feel, extreme distance, and excellent forgiveness.
The 0311 P irons provide a balance of workability and forgiveness, with a moderate offset and mid-size head design. The PXG 0311 GEN6 Irons come in two different models - Players (P) and Xtreme Performance (XP). Fitters can use this to customise the swing weight for each player, delivering a tailored experience to suit their unique needs. Golfers can also benefit from the large weight located near the CG at the back of the clubhead. The high-speed resin core is injection-molded into the cavity of the clubhead, providing more stability to the clubface and enhancing ball speed performance. This innovative technology is complemented by PXG's XCOR2 material on the back of the clubface. In addition, the face and milled Power Channel Technology work together to increase face deflection, resulting in optimal launch and improved performance on mishits. This feature increases the MOI and improves the CG, making the clubs more stable and forgiving. The milled HT1770 Variable Ultra-Thin Face is designed for precision and saves weight that is repositioned low and further back in the club head. The main tech story with these new irons is that they boast a clubface that is 15% thinner than the previous model, making it the thinnest face in golf. This year marks the sixth generation of their 0311 Irons and PXG claim that they are the longest and most accurate that they have produced. Over the last couple of years things seem to have calmed down a little, and a change of strategy has also seen them introduce some of the most affordable equipment on the market to their offering. PXG burst on to the scene less than a decade ago with a number of bold claims about the performance and manufacturing process behind their golf clubs, along with some pretty eye-watering prices.
