What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 0311 P GEN5 is 30° and the 0311 T GEN5 is 32°, a 2° 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 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 0311 T GEN5. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the 0311 T GEN5 averages 2° weaker, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (20.5° vs 22.5°). The pitching wedges are 44° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 6° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The 0311 P GEN5 is a players distance iron and the 0311 T GEN5 a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The 0311 P GEN5 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 GEN5 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.
Both heads are listed 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.
Both sets were introduced in 2022, 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 GEN5 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the 0311 P GEN5. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
