0311 XP Gen6
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a mid-to-high handicapper after 'hacker's distance' - the longest, most forgiving PXG iron, with extreme ball speed, easy launch and a soft feel.
You want workability or greenside control (the P or T), a compact head, or you already strike it well.
Pros
- The largest, most forgiving PXG iron - dispersion shrank by over a third versus Gen5 (a heel miss now loses 5 yards instead of 12)
- The highest COR and ball speeds PXG has ever produced - an even thinner face for extreme distance
- Faster ball speed than most competitors - the XP 7-iron is almost 5 mph faster and 14 yards longer than the P
- A soft feel and game-improvement forgiveness without going full super-game-improvement
Cons
- Strong lofts (about 3 degrees through the set) and the least workable PXG iron - a distance head
- The largest head with the most offset
- Not built to stop on a dime
By dimension
Forgiveness
The most forgiving PXG iron - it shrank dispersion by over a third versus Gen5, a heel miss now losing 5 yards instead of 12 and a toe miss less than 4 instead of almost 9, from increased MOI, the largest, most forgiving iron in the line. Elite, class-leading game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
The highest COR PXG has made - the even thinner face produces the highest COR and ball speeds PXG has ever produced, the XP 7-iron almost 5 mph faster and over 14 yards longer than the P, with extreme distance. Class-leading, the longest PXG iron.
Workability
Distance over shaping - it fits the 'hacker's distance' category with about 3 degrees stronger lofts and the largest head, built for distance and forgiveness rather than shaping, a max-distance game-improvement iron. Low workability, by design.
Feel
Soft for a distance iron - the XCOR2 core and thin face give a soft feel despite the game-improvement size, a satisfying, soft strike. Outstanding feel for a game-improvement iron.
Sound
Solid and clean - a solid, satisfying note off the XCOR2-filled head, a clean acoustic. A refined sound for a game-improvement iron.
Looks at address
Game-improvement, but tidy - a decidedly game-improvement look, the largest head with the most offset, though stopping short of super-game-improvement, with a clean PXG finish. A reassuring, tidy game-improvement footprint.
