    "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"

    Love my new clubs. The

    "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)

    First off the PXG fitting

    "First off the PXG fitting experience was top notch from start to finish. They dialed me in to what I needed and I could tell a huge difference in my first few rounds with my new irons. I will be back to finish out my bag and I now see why PXG is in a league of their own with design and products!"

    Gen 8 0311 XP Black

    "Well, PXG pushed the bar even higher with the GEN8 line of Irons! I have the XP's and these things are fast off the face but at the same time a soft-ish feel off the face. They are long (I'm a marginal golfer) and sooo much fun to hit. I play to have fun and these clubs definitely help me do that!! And the all Black grip, shaft and club head. . . . SEXY!!!"

    — Steven P. (5/5)

    Outstanding service.

    I'm still getting used to

    "I'm still getting used to the club. It is a little bit heavier than my 0211 clubs but I am getting used to it and think it will be the little extra distance I was looking for. All and all a very good club and worth the money"

    Omega Mike Golf

    "This is my 3rd set of PXG irons. My last set was 0311P Gen3 and I really liked them which made it difficult to think about switching. I got fitted for the Gen8 in Atlanta. The fitter was very good and had me convinced that the Gen8 was going to be a noticeable improvement. Distance was about the same but the launch, descent angles and spin were better. I have two rounds with the Gen8 and he was right. I am very happy the way the ball stops a few feet from where it hits. Very pleased with the whole experience. I’m also happy with the very generous Hero discount."

    — David S. (5/5)

    The fitting process was great.

    "The fitting process was great. I went to lighter shafts, with a firm flex but tipped. The response is wonderful. It took a minute to get used to the lighter shafts but now that I am used to them, I am a fan. The feel on the strike is amazing. The forgiveness is real and with the lighter shafts, my swing speed has increased. All in all, a great experience and wonderful set of clubs."

    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.
