    I just put a set

    "I just put a set of PXG GEN8 0311 XP irons (6-GW) in the bag, and they have completely changed my game. The larger XP heads look awesome at address and give you confidence. My mis-hits still fly straight and barely lose any yardage. If you want easy launch, massive distance, and tons of forgiveness without sacrificing that premium forged feel, you won't regret buying these."

    "Absolutely love these irons. They have made a noticeable, positive difference in my game, and my scores are definitely showing it. Plus, they look amazing and have an incredibly solid feel."

    Best Irons I have ever hit

    "I was fitted in San Antonio by PXG Rep David Harrison who did an extensive iron fitting on my game. David fit me into Gen 8 0311 XP Heads and MMT Shafts. I can hit any shot I need. Really impressed hitting 5 and 6 iron with really nice dispersion and hole high. I highly recommend these irons and Davids fitting if you are in the area."

    Gen 1 to Gen 8

    "As I was a lot younger and stronger when I purchased my first set up 0311 P with stiff flex but found as I got older that my swing speed and distance suffered so I went to get a fitting with James at PXG HQ in Scottsdale and he put me in regular flex and the XP head on the new GEN 8 and immediately felt the difference in weight as as well as as overall dispersion of my shots due to the fine-tuning and waiting of the new Gen 8 irons. It is so worth it to book a fitting sessions with these professionals to dial in appropriate specs to make your swing and shot the sweetest as possible. Can’t wait to get mine in a few weeks and watch my handicap drop. Thanks again James and PXG for the best equipment for us golfers trying to improve our game"

    "I won money with the second time out, especially getting fitted from Brian out at Loop 19 in Fort Lauderdale gained lots of yardage hitting ball straighter"

    Quite simply, my favorite club!

    "Quite simply, my favorite club! I was using a mini driver for tighter fairways, but I changed to this, and it's a low-launch bullet."

    I have had these irons

    "I have had these irons now for a couple months and I also bought the lightning driver a month later. I finally went out and played a round of golf this weekend, which I haven't played in approximately 5 years and I am extremely happy to say that I love the irons and the driver. I done better than what I expected. I plan on getting out a lot more but I love the irons and the driver, again I want to think Kris over at Westgate PXG for helping me out and being very patient on finding all the proper equipment. It was a pleasure to deal with him and he definitely knows what he is talking about thank you again."

    First of all I love

    "First of all I love the experience of being fitted for my frame (6’6”) and the expertise of Mark L at the Troy store We’ve worked together several times these past few years and have seen my Game improve quite significantly. Also, these Gen 8’s are joy to play with. Thx PXG for designing such a great product for my game. Kent@Saginaw,Mi."

    "Love my new clubs. The transition has been slower than I want but going from clubs I have used for many years and 6. 0 stiff shafts to regular shafts does take some getting used too! My up and down scores will even out! I just know when I hit them right… there is no comparison!!!"

    — GARY O. (5/5)

    Q&A

    PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron FAQS

    Who should play the PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron? 

    The PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron is built for golfers seeking a performance-driven option that delivers distance, control, and versatility. It is ideal for players looking for a reliable alternative to long irons or hybrids while maintaining a penetrating, controlled ball flight.

    What is the difference between a driving iron and a hybrid? 

    Driving irons feature a more compact profile, minimal offset, and a lower, more forward CG to produce a penetrating trajectory with greater workability. Hybrids typically have a larger head and deeper CG for higher launch and added forgiveness. The PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron blends iron-like control with added stability and speed.

    Can the PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron be used off the tee and from the fairway? 

    Yes. The PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron is engineered to perform from multiple lies, including the tee, fairway, and light rough. Its wide, forgiving sole and optimized CG promote consistent contact and reliable launch across conditions.

    Can the PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron be adjusted for loft and lie? 

    Yes. The PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron can be bent up to 2 degrees stronger or weaker, allowing it to play as a 1-iron or 3-iron equivalent. It is 5 X forged from 8620 carbon steel, enabling precise bending while maintaining durability, feel, and performance integrity. A professional fitting is recommended to ensure optimal setup.

    How does the PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron impact launch and spin? 

    Advanced face construction and precise CG placement deliver a mid-to-low launch with controlled spin. This creates a strong, penetrating ball flight with consistent distance and tight dispersion.

    What shaft options are available? 

    PXG offers a wide range of premium shaft options in multiple flexes to match swing speed, launch preferences, and ball flight goals. A custom fitting ensures optimal performance.

    Is a professional fitting recommended for a driving iron? 

    Yes. A professional PXG fitting is strongly recommended. Dialing in the correct loft, lie, shaft, and weighting unlocks the full performance potential of the PXG 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron and ensures consistent results.
