What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 0211 is 31° and the 0211 ST is 32°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 0211 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 0211 ST. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the 0211 ST averages 1° weaker, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (21.5° vs 22.5°). The pitching wedges are 45° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the 0211 runs 4-iron to LW (10 clubs), the 0211 ST 4-iron to GW (8 clubs).
The 0211 is a players distance iron and the 0211 ST a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The 0211 is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The 0211 ST trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
The 0211 is listed as investment cast hollow body with a COR2 core and the 0211 ST as triple-forged solid-body blade. Forging, as in the 0211 ST, is generally credited with a softer feel; casting, as in the 0211, allows more complex cavity and weighting shapes, which is why it dominates forgiving irons. The 0211's hollow body lets the face flex more and moves mass low and outward, usually giving higher launch and more ball speed on off-centre strikes than the 0211 ST, at some cost in feel. The 0211 ST's muscle-back shape keeps mass directly behind the strike for feedback and control, where a cavity spreads it to the perimeter for forgiveness.
The 0211 ST came out 2 years after the 0211, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The 0211 ST is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the 0211. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PXG 0211 stronger lofted than the 0211 ST?
Yes. The PXG 0211 7-iron is 31° against 32° for the 0211 ST, 1° stronger, which is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry with the same swing.
What is the loft difference between the PXG 0211 and 0211 ST?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (31° vs 32°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 4-iron, and all 8 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the PXG 0211 or the 0211 ST?
The PXG 0211. As a players distance iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The 0211 ST is a players iron, better suited to roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
Do the PXG 0211 and 0211 ST have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
