PXG Iron Loft Chart: Specs for Every 0311 GEN8, GEN7 & Black Ops

The quick answer: A PXG 7-iron is 27° in the 0311 XP GEN8, 30° in the 0311 P GEN8, 32° in the 0311 T GEN8, and 28° in Black Ops. XP has the strongest lofts and the most offset, T has the weakest lofts and the least, and P sits between. GEN8 kept GEN7's lofts, lengths, and lie angles; only offset and wedge bounce moved. Full charts for every model are below, taken straight from PXG's spec tables.

PXG doesn't publish one loft chart across its irons. Each model has its own spec table, spread across separate product pages, so comparing an XP to a P, or a GEN7 to a GEN8, means opening four tabs. This page puts them side by side: the 7-iron of every model in one table, loft by club for the whole current line, then each model's full manufacturer table.

PXG Iron Loft Chart: The 7-Iron of Every Model

The 7-iron is the fairest single comparison because it sits in the middle of every set. Across the line the 7-iron spans 27° to 32°: five degrees, which is more than a full club.

Loft by Club: 0311 XP vs P vs T vs Black Ops

Read across a row and the pattern holds club for club: XP is the strongest, Black Ops is a degree weaker than XP from the 4-iron to the gap wedge, P is about three degrees weaker than XP, and T is the weakest. That's why a PXG 7-iron can fly like another model's 6-iron. Numbers on the sole mean different lofts depending on the model.

Model by Model: Full PXG Spec Tables

0311 XP GEN8 (strongest lofts, most offset)

The XP has the strongest lofts in the 0311 family and the most offset, which helps square the face and get the ball airborne. The set runs 4-iron to LW, so it includes matching sand and lob wedges.

0311 P GEN8 (mid lofts, mid offset)

The P is the middle of the line: lofts about three degrees weaker than XP, with less offset, from 4-iron to GW.

0311 T GEN8 (weakest lofts, least offset)

The T is the traditional-loft, low-offset model. It's the only current 0311 available down to a 3-iron, running 3-iron to GW.

Black Ops (PXG's game-improvement iron)

PXG lists Black Ops as its game-improvement iron. Its lengths, lies, and offsets match the 0311 XP GEN8 exactly; its lofts are one degree weaker than XP from the 4-iron through the gap wedge, with the same 54° and 60° sand and lob wedges, and its bounce runs about a degree lower throughout. The set runs 4-iron to LW.

0311 XP GEN7 and 0311 P GEN7

PXG still lists GEN7, and plenty of golfers are playing it. Its lofts, lengths, and lies are identical to GEN8's.

PXG driving irons: 0311 X GEN8 and 0317 X

Both driving irons are 18° and 40.125" long. The only published difference is lie: 60.25° for the 0311 X GEN8 against 60° for the 0317 X.

PXG GEN8 vs GEN7: What Actually Changed

On paper, less than the model name suggests. Lofts, lengths, and lie angles are identical, club for club, in both the XP and the P. The published changes are offset and wedge bounce:

• 0311 XP: offset is slightly greater in GEN8 (4-iron .250" → .255", 5-iron .220" → .225", 6-iron .190" → .195"…); bounce is higher in the scoring wedges (GW 12° → 13°, SW 13° → 14°, LW 13° → 14.5°).
• 0311 P: offset is slightly less in GEN8 (4-iron .220" → .215", 5-iron .190" → .185", 6-iron .160" → .155"…); bounce is unchanged.

So if you're choosing between a new GEN8 and a used GEN7, the lofts and lengths you'd be fitted into are the same. Whatever else GEN8 changes is in the construction, not the spec sheet.

Loft Gapping: Which Wedges to Add

Strong lofts create a gap at the bottom of the bag. Here's the step between each club, from PXG's lofts:

• 0311 XP GEN8: 4-iron→5-iron 2°, 5-iron→6-iron 3°, 6-iron→7-iron 4°, 7-iron→8-iron 4°, 8-iron→9-iron 5°, 9-iron→PW 5°, PW→GW 6°, GW→SW 7°, SW→LW 6°
• 0311 P GEN8: 4-iron→5-iron 2.5°, 5-iron→6-iron 3°, 6-iron→7-iron 4°, 7-iron→8-iron 4°, 8-iron→9-iron 5°, 9-iron→PW 5°, PW→GW 5°
• 0311 T GEN8: 3-iron→4-iron 2.5°, 4-iron→5-iron 2.5°, 5-iron→6-iron 3°, 6-iron→7-iron 4°, 7-iron→8-iron 4°, 8-iron→9-iron 5°, 9-iron→PW 5°, PW→GW 5°

The P and T sets stop at a gap wedge (49° and 51°), so the next wedges come from outside the set. Most fitters aim for 4 to 6 degrees between wedges, which points to roughly 54° and 59° after a P set. The XP set already includes its own 54° and 60° wedges.

Which PXG Iron Fits You?

• You want the most help launching and finding the face: Black Ops or 0311 XP. They have the most offset in the line, and PXG positions Black Ops as game improvement.
• You hit it solidly and want distance with some workability: 0311 P.
• You want traditional lofts, minimal offset, and a 3-iron: 0311 T.

Mixing models is common: a P or T in the scoring irons with XP long irons keeps control short and launch long. One thing to know when mixing: at each number the XP is built 0.5 inch longer and 0.5° flatter than the P and T (37.5" and 62° at the 7-iron, against 37" and 62.5°), so a fitter will match length and lie across the switch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the loft of a PXG 7-iron?

It depends on the model: 27° in the 0311 XP GEN8, 30° in the 0311 P GEN8, 32° in the 0311 T GEN8, and 28° in Black Ops. GEN7 XP and P 7-irons are the same 27° and 30°.

What is the difference between PXG 0311 P, XP and T?

Loft and offset. XP has the strongest lofts (27° 7-iron) and the most offset (.165"), P is in the middle (30°, .125"), and T has the weakest lofts and least offset (32°, .075"). T is also the only one offered as a 3-iron.

Did PXG change the lofts from GEN7 to GEN8?

No. PXG's spec tables show identical lofts, lengths, and lie angles for the 0311 XP and 0311 P in both generations. The published differences are offset and wedge bounce.

Are PXG irons forgiving?

Some are built to be. PXG positions Black Ops as a game-improvement iron, and Black Ops and the 0311 XP carry the most offset in the line (.165" at the 7-iron). The 0311 T, with .075" of offset, is aimed at better ball strikers.

Where can I find PXG 0211 iron specs?

PXG no longer publishes spec tables for the 0211 line on its website, and we only print manufacturer numbers, so they aren't charted here yet. If you play 0211s, the most reliable way to know your lofts and lies is to have them measured, then compare the measurements with our free loft and lie checker.

What loft is the PXG driving iron?

18°. Both the 0311 X GEN8 and the 0317 X driving irons are 18° at 40.125".
