The PXG 0311 GEN8 irons are new for 2026 after being unveiled as the eighth generation of the hugely popular model.
The GEN8 irons were officially launched in January 2026 as upgraded 0311 T (tour players iron), 0311 P (players distance iron) and 0311 XP (extreme performance game-improvement iron) were unveiled.
The new irons, which replace the 0311 GEN7 irons first launched in 2024, build upon previous generations by offering forgiveness, distance and high launch characteristics.
Each of the three models target a specific level of golfer from low to high handicap, and they join new PXG Lightning drivers, fairway woods and hybrids for 2026.
PXG 0311 T GEN8 Irons Specs & Design
The PXG GEN8 T iron is the players’ tour model and is design for elite and low-handicap golfers seeking both workability and forgiveness.
The T is a players cavity-back model targets low-handicap golfers seeking precision and workability, with the slimmest over profile of the three irons.
The blade clubhead has the thinnest topline of the series, minimal offset and the most compact blade length at just 72mm. The blade height has also been optimized from the GEN7 for clean turf interaction.
The HT1770 maraging steel face is the thinnest yet in a PXG iron at just 0.050″ and it delivers maximum flex and ball speed as well as stunning feel and control.
A revised design from the previous version have helped deliver a 17% MOI increase over GEN7 and that has been achieved from perimeter weighting with 11g redistributed from center.
The PXG Dual Perimeter Weighting System makes these the most adjustable with 2g to 12g heel and toe weights that can be interchanged to create fade or draw bias and alter the MOI.
QuantumCOR now features PXG’s fastest and softest polymer ever for maximum energy transfer and ball speed for the best performance yet from the 0311 series.
It works in harmony with Deep Core Recoil Technology, which is located behind the face for better deflection and ball speed even on off-center strikes.
The 0311 T GEN8 irons are available in 3-iron (20 degrees) to Gap Wedge (51 degrees)
PXG 0311 GEN8 Irons Review: Are they any good?
PXG don’t do bad irons and the GEN8 model is set to build on the impressive characteristics of the seven generations that have come and gone.
The 2025 launch shows a tweaked design, most notably around the rear tungsten weights, which appears to be aimed at adding more forgiveness to the model.
The 0311 GEN8 irons are set to add incremental gains in distance, playability and ball striking and we look forward to getting our hands on the new model.
