0311 T Gen4
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a low-handicap player who's gamed blades but wants a slim, workable Tour iron with a bit more ball speed and forgiveness - a compact, low-offset head that still shapes shots.
You need maximum forgiveness or distance (the P or XP), easy launch, or you don't strike it consistently.
Pros
- The slim, blade-like Tour iron with surprising forgiveness - the thinnest face in golf (1.55mm) and PXG's highest-ever COR
- Faster and better-feeling than Gen3 - the new XCOR injectable polymer boosts ball speed and feel
- Great workability and shot-shaping in a compact, low-offset head
- For skilled players who've gamed blades but want a bit more speed and forgiveness
Cons
- More compact and slightly less forgiving than the P and XP
- Premium-priced
- Superseded by the Gen5 and later 0311 T irons
By dimension
Forgiveness
Unbeatable for its size - the ultra-thin HT1170 maraging face (1.55mm, the thinnest in golf) and XCOR Technology give PXG's highest-ever COR and unbeatable forgiveness in a compact head, with strong stability for a slim Tour iron. Excellent forgiveness for a compact better-player iron, if behind the P and XP.
Distance
Faster than Gen3 - the new XCOR injectable polymer increases ball speed over the Gen3 dual-material core, for a bit more distance in a Tour head, helped by the thin-face speed. Strong distance for a compact players' iron.
Workability
Tour shot-shaping - the Tour-inspired design allows great workability and shot-shaping in a blade-style head, the compact head controlling flight. The most workable Gen4 hollow-body.
Feel
XCOR-enhanced - the new XCOR injectable polymer, a multi-year R&D project, enhances feel over the Gen3 core, with a soft, premium forged strike. One of the better-feeling players' irons of its era.
Sound
Crisp and refined - a solid, crisp note off the XCOR-filled head, a clean, premium acoustic. A refined sound matching the soft feel.
Looks at address
Slim and blade-like - the slim, blade-like Tour head with the least offset and the most compact shape in the line, a premium Gen4 finish. One of the best-looking players' irons of its era.
