- PXG's two 0311 GEN6 irons launched after our winter test sessions were complete, so when samples became available we put the new P and XP up against leading competitor models.
We offer insight into how much better the P & XP are compared to previous models, and show how each compares against the leading irons from Ping, Callaway, TaylorMade and Srixon.

Did a fitting with pxg few years ago but didn’t do enough to take the p790 out of my bag. Just did a fitting and purchased the 0311 p gen 6 on the spot. Fitting was great. Thought I would be fit in a 115-120 gram stiff shaft standard length. Ended up w 110 gram xstiff half inch longer w heavier weight in head. Go get fit ! Mizuno jpx 923 forged and p770 were my second choices. And cant believe they were softer than mizuno
Tried them all on the lower chart and bought the stealths. The ZX4's were second place just not quite as easy to hit as the stealth's but man do they fly a long way. What great looking club the ZX4's. Stealths were no brainers for me easy to hit and had great distance - accuracy even on off center strikes.
Excellent explanation! Really appreciate the breakdown. Well done!
Pleasure, thanks for taking the time to feedback.
I got fitted for pxg in Orlando, in January. I didn't know gen-6 was coming out, kind of wish they have told me but I am not dissatisfied and my gen-5 at all. Ended up with four hours to get which and full set of being forged wedges, are excellent. My iron set is 4-7 XP and 8-G P
Thanks Phil, great to hear you had a positive fitting experience. Love you took the time to get the set-up exactly right.
I have the 0211XCOR2 set, they feel really good comparable to my Ben Hogan Apex Edge forged! I love the looks of PXG irons and the modular assembly! How much better can the tech get! We all want looks, feel, forgiveness, flight, distance and cost! Who is doing it best?Thanks guys
Really like my PXG 0211xcor2 irons
Good choice Richard, they're amongst our four favourite Mid-Handicap irons of the year.
Love to hear it, Richard! 💯 ^Chelsea
How do they compare to the JPX Hot Metal vs Gen 6 XP, and the JPX Hot Metal Pro vs Gen 6 P?
I just tried the Pxg 0317 CB yesterday amazing consistency and I could almost shape on demand dispersion was 3-4 yards either way on good and mishits I am extremely biased to Srixon ZX-7 but coming from Ping i525 I think I’m going with the PXG I only been playing since last May 😂
Unbelievably our CB's turned up the day after we shot this video. There's some great options out there for sure.
Anything in this world feels better than the i525's. They feel like a rock hitting a frying pan.
@@MXJEFF94 100% agrre and i'm rectifying the situation lmao
I switched from the gen 3p to the gen 5 p a year and a half ago but since- before these were out and have not tested- switched to the new p770s which have given me even more precision and accuracy than the gen5p. While have both sets tend to now use the p770s. Maybe in a couple of years will see how the gen 8s compare at that time with others that might be competitors. I have to add that the shaft choice is also an important element. In the gen 5 I had the project x cypher and in the p770 the ust helium nanocore - and perhaps that made the slight difference. Also to add that while the lofts are much weaker in the p770s to the gen 5 p iron for iron the p770s give me the same carry distances if not even slightly more (5 yards or so)- again perhaps a factor of three things - loft is your friend; shaft difference; and shortened the p770’s by half an inch so am getting a more accurate strike.
Thanks for your input Aly.
Really informative review...thank you. Just out of curiosity, how do the PXG 0311 Gen 6 XPs compare w/ the PXG 0211 XCOR2 irons? Are they both in the Game Improvement category...or are the XPs considered a Players Distance/GI mix? I don't think the 0211s are forged. 27-degree lofts...yikes 🙂
Thanks Brian, really appreciate your feedback. The XP's and 0211 are pretty much in the same game improver/mid-handicap category.
The 0211 are 28deg in the 7-iron, so there's not too much between them and the XP's.
You're right the 0211's are cast and they don't have any of the tungsten weight tech for forgiveness, or to allow you to go longer, shorter, heavier or lighter without shifting the CG.
Hope that helps.
@@todaysgolfer Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m guessing the 0211’s are also considerably less expensive than the XPs. Thank again…really enjoy your channel.
Can you rank the forgiveness of PXG 0311 P vs P790 vs MIZUNO Pro 225? Thanks!
@@joelane2845 We have them all down as 2.5/5, they're all Players' Distance Irons.
Hope that helps.
I know I'm coming here late, but the two I've really been looking at are PXG 311 XP and Ping g430. I get the heroes deal which significantly reduces the price of the PXG's. Any thoughts on the two back to back.
No problems Andrew. It would be advisable to try them as the XP's are very strong lofted if you don't have much speed.
Both lovely irons are lovely choices but you my well find if you don't have too much speed the PXG 0311 P might be a better fit. G430's are just really hard to fault.
Question Callaway makes an Apex C6 series what is that
Are you referring to the letter and number on the hosel Tell?
whats the total amount of tungsten in each iron? Is the entire bottom back bar tungsten as well in the gen6?
PXG don't give out exact amounts Chris, it is not the entire back bar though.
See it as the four smaller weights in the back plus anywhere between 2.5g and 20g in the main central circular weight and you'll be thinking along the right lines.
Hope that helps.
I think once you account for the spin the angle of decline wouldn't be much different. gen 5s might drop softer on wedge shots due to more spin.
Are the xp forgiving enough for a newer player will they mKe me better?
So the new srixon mkii irons are better based off of the numbers since they're better than the OG ZX4 or ZX5?
Are you talking about the Srixon ZX4 being longest but also lowest spinning Jimmy?
please jimmy keep these a secret, dont need this brand to be trend clubs
im getting more annoyed every year with the lofts of irons... its insane to call it a 7iron with 28degrees. thats a 5 iron... but great video, keep up the great work
Thanks for the feedback, understand where you're going with this.
Our stance is that we don't get to decide what loft a 7-iron has. We just test what manufacturers decide is correct for each irons target player, then show the differences to whoever has an interest in a comparison.
I was concerned too, but the way they are designed they still fly as high as a traditionally lofted club!
What matters is delivered loft. Better players typically deliver less loft compared to higher handicap players. The stronger lofts are there to help players who deliver less dynamic loft (shaft lean at impact) replicate results closer to those of better players.
The number on the bottom of a club is meaningless across sets. It’s simply a way for someone to easily distinguish one club within that set from another within that same set.
@Rob S but we don't compare just clubs within that set. People compare clubs between every set. People will always compare a 7iron from say ping, to the 7 iron from Callaway. Keeping static lofts throughout all sets will help realize where people are in the capabilities.
They increased my loft by 2 degrees and I gain about 10 yards on my 7. Ended up doing the same with my driver (callaway). I hit it well and didn’t see any improvement with the Pxg driver so no need to change it. We just adjusted mine. Felt like the fitting was legit and didn’t feel like I was being sold stuff that didn’t benefit my game.
Really would like opinions and more data. It is almost like they enjoy listening to themselves talk. Why not support your discussions with data. One cannot read the pages shown as they are not up long enough!
Thanks for your input Tom will see what we can do for you.
PXG users also use axe body spray
It was good enough for your mother. 😏
And wear Affliction shirts
Why do they state launch angle at 18.8 yet the graph shows over 19 degrees. This is very misleading. Should do better PXG.
It's because the data given by PXG is created on a robot, with a typical delivery etc. The test numbers we then show are using a real golfer, who like every golfer, creates their own unique delivery, so the data will always differ.
You ever heard of different types of swings and swing paths.
Starting charts at 125 is a joke. All graphs must start at 0.
ZX5 7 iron is 31 degrees standard.
