PXG · Irons · 2022
0311 T Gen5
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're an elite or low-handicap player who wants a compact, workable Tour iron with a buttery-soft yet explosive feel - blade looks and shot control with a dose of forgiveness.
You need maximum forgiveness or distance (the P or XP), easy launch, or a true one-piece blade (the ST).
Pros
- A blade-like Tour iron with added forgiveness - high MOI without sacrificing the buttery-soft feel
- A soft yet explosive feel unique to PXG - the XCOR2 polymer fills the cavity behind an incredibly thin face
- Long, precise and workable - extra workability versus the P and XP, with steady spin and ~1 mph more ball speed than Gen4
- Carried on the PGA Tour by Zach Johnson
Cons
- More compact and slightly less forgiving than the P and XP - you need to find the middle
- Premium-priced
- Purists may still prefer a one-piece forged blade (the ST)
By dimension
Forgiveness
Blade looks, added forgiveness - a blade for skilled golfers that adds forgiveness without sacrificing the buttery-soft feel, with high MOI for a compact head. Strong forgiveness for a compact Tour iron, if you find the middle, behind the P and XP.
Distance
Long and efficient - the new tech adds about 1 mph of ball speed and a yard of carry over Gen4 while keeping spin steady, with exceptional distance and fast ball speed. Strong distance for a compact players' iron.
Workability
The shaper of the line - the T is long, precise and workable, with extra workability versus the more forgiving P and XP, and easy workability and trajectory control. The most workable Gen5 hollow-body.
Feel
Soft yet explosive - the XCOR2 polymer filling the cavity behind an incredibly thin face gives a soft yet explosive feel that is satisfying and unique to PXG, with outstandingly soft and crisp impact. One of the best-feeling players' irons of its era.
Sound
Soft and crisp - a satisfying, soft-yet-crisp note from the XCOR2-filled head, a satisfying sound. A refined acoustic matching the soft feel.
Looks at address
The most compact Gen5 - the most compact head in the Gen5 line, a blade for skilled golfers that draws envious glances. One of the best-looking players' irons of its era.
