What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 30° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show. Lie angles and lengths match as well, so any fitting adjustment made to one set would carry straight over to the other.
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. 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 0311 XF GEN1 is listed as forged hollow body with TPE injection and tungsten perimeter weighting and the 0311 XF GEN2 as forged hollow body with a COR2 core. 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.
The 0311 XF GEN2 arrived 2 years after the 0311 XF GEN1, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The 0311 XF GEN1 and 0311 XF GEN2 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PXG 0311 XF GEN1 stronger lofted than the 0311 XF GEN2?
No. Both have a 30° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.
What is the loft difference between the PXG 0311 XF GEN1 and 0311 XF GEN2?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 30° 7-iron.
Are the PXG 0311 XF GEN1 and 0311 XF GEN2 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the PXG 0311 XF GEN1 and 0311 XF GEN2 have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
