0311 XP Gen3
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a slower-swinging, higher-handicap player who wants maximum forgiveness, easy high launch and outrageous distance - 6 or 7 extra drivers in the bag.
You want workability or a compact head (the T or P), the lowest, most controlled flight, or you already strike it well.
Pros
- A high-launch, high-MOI distance machine - the most forgiving and consistent Gen3, with only a 12-yard gap between best and worst swing
- Outrageous ball speed and distance - the strongest lofts, the longest shaft (+0.5 inch) and the largest Impact Reactor cavity
- The most forgiving Gen3 - the largest head with the highest MOI, for slower swing speeds
- An explosive, smooth feel for a game-improvement iron
Cons
- The least workable Gen3 - a distance-and-forgiveness iron, not a shot-shaper
- The largest head with the thickest top line, widest sole and most offset
- Premium-priced
By dimension
Forgiveness
The most forgiving Gen3 - the most forgiving and consistent Gen3, the largest head with the highest MOI, producing only a 12-yard gap between the worst and best swing, with the largest internal cavity and most offset. Elite, game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
A distance machine - outrageous ball speed and distance, from the strongest lofts, the longest stock shaft (+0.5 inch) and the largest Impact Reactor cavity, optimised for distance and forgiveness. The longest Gen3 iron.
Workability
Distance over shaping - optimised for distance and forgiveness, the least workable of the three with the most offset, a game-improvement distance iron rather than a shot-shaper. Low workability, by design.
Feel
Explosive and smooth - the feel is extremely smooth across the face, the XP delivering more of an explosive feeling than the buttery T. A satisfying, powerful strike for a game-improvement iron.
Sound
Solid and explosive - a solid, lively note off the large head, a clean acoustic. A powerful sound for a game-improvement iron, if less refined than the compact heads.
Looks at address
Big and game-improvement - the largest head with the thickest top line, widest sole and most offset, with a clean PXG finish despite the size. A reassuring game-improvement footprint, if the chunkiest of the line.
