What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 0311 GEN1 is 31° and the 0311 T GEN1 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 0311 GEN1 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 0311 T GEN1. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the 0311 T GEN1 averages 1° weaker, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (19° vs 20°). 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 0311 GEN1 runs 3-iron to LW (11 clubs), the 0311 T GEN1 3-iron to PW (8 clubs).
The 0311 GEN1 is a players distance iron and the 0311 T GEN1 a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The 0311 GEN1 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 0311 T GEN1 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 0311 GEN1 is listed as CNC-milled hollow body with TPE injection and tungsten perimeter weighting and the 0311 T GEN1 as forged hollow body with TPE injection and tungsten perimeter weighting. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.
Both sets were introduced in 2015, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: PXG designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The 0311 T GEN1 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the 0311 GEN1. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PXG 0311 GEN1 stronger lofted than the 0311 T GEN1?
Yes. The PXG 0311 GEN1 7-iron is 31° against 32° for the 0311 T GEN1, 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 0311 GEN1 and 0311 T GEN1?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (31° vs 32°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 3-iron, and all 8 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the PXG 0311 GEN1 or the 0311 T GEN1?
The PXG 0311 GEN1. 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 0311 T GEN1 is a players iron, better suited to roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
Do the PXG 0311 GEN1 and 0311 T GEN1 have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
