The new PXG 0311 T Gen5 Graphite irons have been highly anticipated and come full of brand technology for the skilled golfer out there. The T stands for Tour and this stellar set is designed for the better, skilled, low-handicap player who likes a blade-style look at address. This T model displays a minimal offset and narrower sole often preferred by better players.
Graphite shafts look amazing from top to bottom, highlighting all the artwork in many colours and truly standing out. These shafts are becoming high in popularity at the moment, it's easy to see why when you look at what they can offer the golfer. Lightweight in construction compared to their steel counterparts, graphite will help you gain valuable yards with every iron in the bag. Highly beneficial to senior golfers and players who have lost yards over the years for all manner of reasons.
The weight in the back of the clubhead is fully interchangeable to experiment with different head weight configurations during a professional fitting. Each and every iron is 5x forged from 8620 soft carbon steel, a tighter grain is achieved with this process, higher strength is achieved together with prolonged life of the grooves. The appearance is also enhanced by the forged process. The 0311 T Gen5 irons come in a choice of two finishes, a lovely premium chrome or a new xtreme dark option. This diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating creates a hard, graphite-like carbon based coating that significantly extends the lifespan of the club. DLC is a premium three-layer process which includes a chromium base, carbon-chrome midlayer and high carbon finishing layer. This ultimate wear-resistant durability and look will most certainly be appreciated by all golfers. The outside of the hosel is engraved depicting the model and 5x forged/milled.
As a result of years of research and development, XCOR2 technology is new and takes over from PXG's original XCOR, giving extreme face deflection and quite unbelievable ball speeds. This proprietary polymer core material is designed specifically for the new Gen5 irons, extremely lightweight to reduce the mass of the core. Weight is positioned low and to the perimeter of the backside of the club, dramatically increasing moment of inertia and forgiveness. Thin face technology as been in every iron since PXG's inception, maintaining the thinnest face in golf. Now the ultra-thin face technology continues to deliver unmatched feel and miss-hit performance. This ultra-thin, high strength HT1770 maraging steel is groundbreaking.
All Gen5 irons undergo a precise robotic polishing process, this creates an extremely tight manufacturing process that gives consistent sole and face perimeter geometry. Robotic laser welding reduced the heat affected zone and gives a high strength and exacting attachment method.
Built into the inside of the face is a U-shaped corridor, this innovative power channel technology increases deflection and bend in the top section of the face at impact. The sound, feel and feedback from this model is vitally important to the skilled golfer. Irons for the creative!
