Lofts compared
- 0211
- 0311 P GEN5
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 0211 is 31° and the 0311 P GEN5 is 30°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 0311 P GEN5 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 0211. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the 0311 P GEN5 averages 1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (21.5° vs 20.5°). The pitching wedges are 45° and 44°; the stronger one leaves a 6° 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 0311 P GEN5 4-iron to GW (8 clubs).
Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The 0211 is listed as investment cast hollow body with a COR2 core and the 0311 P GEN5 as forged hollow body with an XCOR2 core. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help.
The 0311 P GEN5 came out 3 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 0311 P GEN5 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 0211 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PXG 0211 stronger lofted than the 0311 P GEN5?
No. The 0311 P GEN5 is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 30° against 31° for the PXG 0211, 1° stronger and worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the PXG 0211 and 0311 P GEN5?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (31° vs 30°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 4-iron, and all 8 shared clubs differ.
