0311 XP Gen4
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a mid-to-high handicapper who's played game-improvement irons and wants maximum distance, easy high launch and forgiveness - with a surprisingly soft feel.
You want workability or a compact head (the T or P), the lowest controlled flight, or you already strike it well.
Pros
- The longest and most forgiving Gen4 - the biggest head with the highest MOI for mid-to-high handicaps
- Faster and longer than Gen3 - the new XCOR polymer adds 2.1 mph ball speed and 5.6 yards of carry on its own
- Maximum distance with additional height - easy to launch for slower swings
- A buttery-soft feel rare for a game-improvement distance iron
Cons
- The least workable Gen4 - a distance-and-forgiveness iron, not a shot-shaper
- The largest head in the Gen4 line
- Premium-priced
By dimension
Forgiveness
The most forgiving Gen4 - the longest and most forgiving of the Gen4 line, the biggest head with the highest MOI, the largest Gen4 iron, well suited to mid-to-high handicaps. Elite, game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
The longest Gen4 - the new XCOR material switch alone adds 2.1 mph of ball speed and 5.6 yards of carry to the XP, the longest of the line, Gen4 gaining over 2 mph and 5 yards versus Gen3. Elite distance.
Workability
Distance over shaping - the biggest, most game-improvement head, built for distance and forgiveness rather than shaping, a max-distance iron rather than a shot-shaper. Low workability, by design.
Feel
Surprisingly soft - the XP Gen4 feels great, with a buttery-soft feel rare for a game-improvement iron, the new XCOR polymer enhancing feel. Excellent feel for a distance iron.
Sound
Solid and clean - a solid, lively note off the XCOR-filled head, a clean acoustic. A refined sound for a game-improvement iron.
Looks at address
Big but clean - the largest head in the Gen4 line, with a clean PXG finish despite the game-improvement size. A reassuring, surprisingly tidy game-improvement footprint.
