Where it wins
- Distance92
- Feel90
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
Single-digit to mid handicaps (5-15) at 80-105 mph swing speeds who want PXG hollow-body players-distance forgiveness with class-leading distance + new QuantumCOR polymer feel.
Buyers who want fully forged feel, or anyone shopping the current GEN8 platform with the Dual Perimeter Weighting System.
Pros
- 33% dispersion area reduction over the predecessor via 3.1% MOI boost.
- Largest GEN to GEN distance gain in brand history — 1 MPH more ball speed + 3.5yd more carry vs predecessor.
- New QuantumCOR polymer pushes COR figures to the USGA limit of .843 for the first time.
- New 20g tungsten toe weight + titanium twist-in insert (5g perimeter weight savings) for fitter-tunable shape bias.
Cons
- Hollow body + polymer construction caps absolute feel ceiling vs fully forged players-distance peers.
- ~£220/club premium pricing typical of flagship line.
- Now superseded by GEN8 platform with materially improved Dual Perimeter Weighting System.
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongReviewer testing: manufacturer testing shows 3.1% more MOI than the previous model resulting in a reduction in dispersion area of 33% over the predecessor. New 20g tungsten toe weight + titanium twist-in insert (5g weight savings to perimeter). New QuantumCOR polymer pushes COR figures to the USGA limit of .843 for the first time. Class-leading PD forgiveness — major step up vs predecessor.
Distance
Class-leadingReviewer testing: gained 1 MPH in ball speed over the predecessor which resulted in a 3.5 yard increase in total distance. Editorial coverage headlines the largest generation-to-generation distance gain in brand history. QuantumCOR polymer pushes COR to USGA legal limit of .843. Same 30° 7-iron loft preserved. Class-leading distance.
Workability
StrongReviewer testing: control, consistency and workability you would come to expect from a players iron, but it's also long and forgiving. New 20g tungsten toe weight + fittable shape bias add tour-input tunability. Compact players-distance silhouette with neutral CG allows shape shaping. Marginal improvement over predecessor via the new tungsten weight architecture.
Feel
Class-leadingReviewer testing: a new proprietary polymer called QuantumCOR that is more reactive than previous formulations. Editorial coverage: developed over the course of a decade — best-performing COR material the brand has found. Step up vs predecessor's XCOR2 baseline. Polymer helps fine-tune the impact sound and stabilises the clubface.
Sound
ExcellentReviewer testing: QuantumCOR polymer helps fine-tune the impact sound. Hollow body acoustic refined via the new polymer architecture. Step up vs the predecessor's 'extremely quiet impact sound' baseline.
Looks at address
ExcellentReviewer testing: 0311 P sits in the middle of the lineup with some slight bias towards the middle and lower handicap ranges. Hallmark perimeter weighting + new 20g tungsten toe weight + titanium twist-in insert at back. Same caliber as predecessor silhouette with refined back-of-head architecture.
