In their first 11 years of producing high-quality golf clubs, PXG has made a huge impact in the golf equipment business. Their latest introduction of the 0311 GEN7 irons offers a choice of the P or XP models with chrome, or Xtreme Dark finishes.
PXG has paid close attention to the playability of the new 0311 GEN7 irons. Playability for average golfers means irons with a balance of forgiveness and workability. This is achieved by the distribution of weight around the perimeter and the toe, plus a weight placed inside the titanium collar in the center of the backside of the iron. During a fitting, the weights can be adjusted to the proper swing weight, for the individual golfer, plus it aids in precisely locating the head’s true center of gravity.
The differences between the P and XP models are mostly apparent in the head size, the game-improvement XP being larger plus it has more offset than the Model P, for those golfers that struggle with excessive left to right ball flights.
