PXG goes big with 0311XF irons
There’s a new addition to the PXG iron family. The company’s new 0311XF irons use the same technologies as its 0311 and 0311T irons, but have larger club heads to offer golfers “Xtreme Forgiveness.”
“We’d all love to hit the ball perfectly every time, but the truth is many of us don’t,” said PXG founder Bob Parsons. “Most players struggle with imperfect swings and for some playing a blade can be intimidating. So, we engineered a game-improvement iron that is even more forgiving than the original PXG 0311 irons and just as sexy. Trust me, forgiveness has never felt so good.”
0311XF Tech Specs
- Blade Length: Approximately 0.173-inches longer than the 0311.
- Club Face: Approximately 0.1-inches larger than the 0311.
- Sole Width: Approximately 0.065-inches wider than the 0311.
- Offset: Approximately 0.173-inches larger than the 0311.
The 0311XF irons use the company’s TPE Core Technology, which our Andrew Tursky detailed in this must-read story. Like the 0311 and 0311T irons, the 0311XF club heads are triple-forged. Unlike most forged irons, however, they have extremely thin faces thanks to their hollow-body construction and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) filling, which dampens vibrations and improves energy transfer for added distance.
High-density tungsten weights are also used in the 0311XF design, and in conjunction with PXG’s signature perimeter weight on the back of the irons they optimize each iron’s center of gravity (CG) location.
“The longer blade length and wider sole help increase the moment of inertia and drive the CG back to create greater forgiveness and more dynamic loft at impact,” said PXG Chief Product Officer Brad Schweigert. “As a result, the clubs are incredibly forgiving and deliver outstanding mis-hit performance.”
While the 0311XF irons target mid-to-high-handicap golfers who need extra distance and forgiveness, the game-improvement irons can also benefit the best players in the world. Take Charl Schwartzel, for example. The winner of this year’s Valspar Championship and the 2011 Masters loves his 0311XF 4 iron, saying he can hit it 260 yards off the tee.
“[my 0311XF 4 iron] blends perfectly with my 0311 irons,” Schwartzel said. “You would never know that it’s a game-improvement club – and I like that.”
The 0311XF irons (about $300 each) are available in two finishes, Chrome and an Xtreme Dark, which uses a black Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating and carries an upcharge of $150 per iron. Full sets, as well as mixed sets of the 0311, 0311T and 0311XF are available for purchase through PXG’s network of authorized fitters.

In a golf world where players are looking to eke out every yard possible, usually by lengthening their drivers to add clubhead speed, there’s one player at the PGA Championship who’s going in the opposite direction. In fact, for Rickie Fowler, his goal off the tee is not about gaining extra distance or yards north to south, but rather about shrinking the misses from east to west.
Ahead of the PGA Championship and the week prior at the Truist Championship. Fowler mentioned to Cobra Tour Rep Ben Schomin that the driver didn’t quite swing feel the same as everything in the bag. As a result, and with Schomin’s suggestion to try and sync everything up with the big stick, Fowler decided to test out a shorter length shaft.
“He’s been at 45 (inches), and he’d been at 45 for a few weeks, 44 1/8 (inches) is really is where he is been living really for the most part, for the last couple of years, and is where he is been comfortable,” Schomin told GolfWRX. “It just felt like it was a little long and loose on him.”
Interestingly, Fowler ranks 40th in Driving Accuracy this year on the PGA Tour. It’s his most accurate season with the driver since the start of the decade. But sometimes for players, feel is more important than statistics.
“It was really more of a trying to get the swing to feel the fluidness from club to club to club to try to get it to feel the same,” Schomin added. “And so we took it down to 43 and a quarter, and it was a touch of a ball speed loss, just based on that overall club head speed. But honestly, he squared it up probably a little better. The right miss wasn’t nearly as far. So really, overall down-range dispersion tightened up a fair amount, and he felt confident in swinging it.”
The change in length had Fowler’s caddie, Ricky Romano, beaming at how well he had driven during Tuesday’s practice round at Aronimink. So much so, he was asking Schomin not to suggest changes anymore.
Fowler’s shaft-shortening is one of a few driver adjustments he’s made this season, and to Schomin’s credit, it’s thanks to the fact that he and the rest of the Cobra team had Fowler fit very well into three of the four heads in the Cobra OPTM lineup.
“He had three distinct drivers and the biggest decision was trying to decide which worked best at that time,” Schomin told GolfWRX previously. “He’s played the majority of the season with OPTM X, but has also played a couple of tournaments with OPTM LS. His overall driving stats have been good.”
At the RBC Heritage earlier this spring, Fowler switched drivers, changing from his Cobra OPTM X and into the Tour, low-loft Max K model that Gary Woodland used to win just a few weeks prior.
Now for the PGA Championship, Fowler’s back in the X head, but still using the UST Mamiya LIN-Q PowerCore White 6TX shaft, just a little bit shorter.
“Will he stay there? I’m not sure,” Schomin added. “Could we end up say at like 43 and 7.5 (of an inch). If it’s giving him the same feel of consistency through the bag, then I think we might end up just a touch longer. But if he likes where he is at, he’s confident where he is at, that’s really all that matters.”
If there’s more testing, though, just don’t tell his caddie.
What you need to know: As is customary for the Fairhaven-based company, Titleist officially announced today that its GTS drivers are headed to retail, following a successful tour release. The GTS2, GTS3, and GTS4 drivers will be available in golf shops June 11.
Since debuting at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, the new GTS lineup has quickly gained traction on the PGA Tour, with more than 50 players already making the switch to a GTS2, GTS3, or GTS4 driver. Among them are Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
Justin Thomas’ Titleist GTS2 driver (Greg Moore, GolfWRX)
According to Titleist, the GTS series builds upon the performance foundation established by the GT Series, while introducing several major technological advancements, including a new Split Mass Frame construction, refined aerodynamics, and an updated Speed Sync face design.
2026 Titleist GTS drivers: What’s new, key technology
Split Mass Frame and thermoform body
At the center of the new GTS lineup is a redesigned internal structure: the Split Mass Frame. This technology works with a full-thermoform body made from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP), a lightweight composite that enables engineers to reposition mass more efficiently throughout the head. Compared to the previous GT generation, GTS drivers feature nearly double the PMP material, increasing from 13 grams to 26 grams, while maintaining the sound and feel preferred by better players.
The weight savings from the thermoform construction allowed Titleist engineers to strategically separate mass placement inside the head. Specifically, more weight is pushed rearward to improve stability and forgiveness, while additional mass is positioned low and forward to optimize speed, launch, and spin.
In short, golfers are able to maintain ball speed and consistency across both centered and off-center strikes.
Faster aerodynamics
Titleist also refined the aerodynamic shaping of the GTS heads to help players generate more clubhead speed.
The tails of the new GTS2 and GTS3 heads have been raised compared to previous models, helping airflow stay attached to the crown and sole longer during the swing. According to Titleist, the improved airflow reduces drag and increases speed without affecting launch conditions or center of gravity placement.
Typically, aerodynamic gains can compromise forgiveness or launch characteristics, but the weight savings from the Split Mass Frame allowed engineers to preserve preferred CG locations.
New Speed Sync face
The new Speed Sync Face design is engineered to improve ball speed retention across a larger portion of the face. A reinforced perimeter structure helps maximize face deflection and COR on centered strikes, while the upper portion of the support ring is opened up to increase speed on high-face impacts, a common strike location for many golfers. The face also features a variable thickness design to preserve speed and performance across a wider impact area.
Expanded adjustability
Each GTS model includes a dual-weighting system to fine-tune launch, spin, and shot shape more precisely than previous generations. GTS2 uses interchangeable forward and aft weights, while GTS3 and GTS4 combine a rear weight with an adjustable forward track weight system.
Tour-inspired face graphics
The new lineup features redesigned high-contrast face graphics to improve alignment and framing at address, according to Titleist. Sharp visual lines are designed to make it easier to center the golf ball and to perceive loft more easily at setup.
Additional model details
GTS2
- The GTS2 is the most forgiving model, designed for golfers seeking maximum stability and consistent speed across the face.
- It produces high launch with mid spin and features a larger, confidence-inspiring profile behind the ball.
- Standard weighting includes an 11-gram forward weight and a 5-gram rear weight, with additional fitting configurations available.
GTS3
- The GTS3 is aimed at players who want more control over launch, spin, and shot shaping.
- Compared to GTS2, the GTS3 offers lower launch and spin while featuring a more compact profile and deeper face design preferred by many stronger players.
- The head features an adjustable forward-track weight system to further fine-tune center of gravity placement.
GTS4
- The lowest-spinning option in the lineup, GTS4 is built for golfers looking to reduce excessive spin and maximize total distance.
- Unlike previous “4” models from Titleist, the new GTS4 features a full 460cc profile that improves forgiveness and stability while retaining its low-spin DNA.
- Like GTS3, it includes a forward track weighting system for precise fitting adjustments.
What Titleist says
“When we talk about driver design, it’s never about the one feature or benefit — it’s about all of them,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Titleist’s Senior Director of Metalwood R&D. “Ball speed, forgiveness, spin stability, adjustability, exceptional sound and feel… these are all attributes that golfers care about. It’s our job to design a lineup that elevates performance across the board without sacrificing in key areas, and we feel we’ve done that with GTS.”
“We know that forward CGs drive speed with great launch and spin characteristics, but you need to be able to do that with an inertial stability that still preserves ball speed, launch and spin consistency on off-center hits,” Luttrell said. “We’ve never before been able to hit these CG positions and inertia properties at the same time, and we’re achieving that because of GTS’ construction.”
Club Junkie’s take
I feel like every time there is a new Titleist wood release, I figure they can’t outdo their previous driver. And every year, I am wrong and impressed with the performance. The GTS fits right into that narrative again, as I didn’t know where Titleist could go from GT, but they pushed the limits again, and my fitting proved the smart people there found ways to improve.
My past four Titleist drivers have been a 2 series as my swing typically requires a little height, spin, and forgiveness so I figured I would just get a new GTS2 and be on my way. During the fitting, I was impressed by the new GTS construction, its added PMP material, and the advanced adjustability on each model. My fitter, Joey, got to work putting together a GTS2 and we started there. The launch and spin were great, and the consistency on misses was very tight. My average ball speed with the GTS went up a little bit as the new Speed Sync face creates more speed away from the center.
Joey then built up a GTS3 in 11 degrees, but I figured this wouldn’t have the stability I needed for tight dispersion on my miss hits. That thought was quickly erased after a few shots, and I really liked the more center start line and reduced draw on the misses I was seeing. We tried a few different settings and shafts to dial in the details in order to get the best fit. Having a forward and rear weight in the head allowed Joey to set up the GTS3 with a heavier rear weight to keep the launch and spin up, while the Sure Fit hosel set flat created a more center start line for me. My misses were not nearly as far left, and I was really impressed with the consistency on the spin and launch when I didn’t hit it in the center.
Titleist again created a wood line in GTS that delivers improvements over previous drivers while keeping the traditional look and feel you expect. More adjustability, better off-center speed, and 3 drivers that are playable over a wider range of players should make these extremely successful in fittings.

Titleist has today introduced its new GTS2 and GTS3 fairways.
Lower and deeper center of gravity (CG) positions, new adjustable heel-toe weights and advanced clubface innovations drive total performance in the two tour-proven models.
- Tour-inspired polished clubfaces: To help players see more of the clubface at address.
GTS2 Fairway
The new GTS2 fairway is designed with a shallower face and a larger profile than GTS3, ideal for players with more sweeping deliveries with their fairway metals.
GTS2’s new face height, inspired by tour feedback, was designed shallower than the prior generation GT2 model and more in line with the GT1 fairway. Each loft in GTS2 leverages a shallower profile except for the 13.5-degree, which maintains a slightly taller face.
With its new dual-weighting system, the ‘2’ model now has heel-toe CG adjustability.
Lofts: 13.5, 15.0, 16.5, 18.0, 21.0
Dual-weight system: 11-gram weight in heel, 5-gram weight in toe (standard)
GTS3 Fairway
The new GTS3 fairway is designed with a deeper face and a more compact profile, ideal for players who hit down on the golf ball more with their fairway metals.
New to the GTS3 family is a 21-degree offering, giving players two distinct profiles in Titleist’s 7-wood loft.

I love the comments here referring to saving money and spending it on lessons for the “higher handicap” player. If you are buying PXG, you could give a shit how much it costs. That’s the beauty of having MONEY. A lot of people with massive amounts of disposable income buy expensive things just because they can, including clubs for $3k. They drive Range Rovers, wear Rolex’s, and live in overly priced zip codes…..don’t hate just because you aren’t in the same boat.
Lou Loomis
Sep 7, 2016 at 5:48 am
I didn’t say don’t spend the money, you twit. I said spend the difference on lessons and practice to become a better ball striker. You look like a fool hacking around the course with $3000 sticks.
SNBD
Sep 7, 2016 at 10:15 pm
An Acura MDX drives as well as a Range Rover and a Fossil watch keeps time as well as a Rolex, why doesn’t everyone just buy the middle of the road item? PXG is on par with other high end stuff, it’s part status and part performance. Let’s be honest, if you are hacking up a course, you look like a fool no matter what you’re playing. Again, don’t hate just because someone wants to drop $3k on a set of clubs. Besides Lou, if someone is playing PXG, I highly doubt they’re playing the same tracks as you so, you don’t have to worry about them hacking up “your” course.

We’re on same page…Shaft was actually 110gr Recoil…what I was saying is the combination of graphite & PXG’s already ‘muted’ feel gave me virtually no feedback – positive or negative…the heads feel so ‘soft’ – but not that ‘buttery’ yet solid Miura feel as described in the thread. So, UNLESS someone needed that level of ‘shock absorbency’ (IMHO) the graphite / PXG combo was ‘unsatisfying’ and most ‘forged’ players probably wouldn’t care for it either…
Now if a person had some bad hand/wrist pain – even elbow pain (not caused by swing mechanics) there’s pretty much nothing more vibration reducing (or ‘soft’ on impact that I’ve hit (but he can cram the $150 black finish upcharge 😉

I means Charl hits the 4i XF at 260 yds. So he has that going for him, and PXG has that going for them. I’d say if you can’t hit 7-PW in 0311, it’s not the club. For the longer to mid irons, some guys might prefer these in a liteweight graphite shaft over a hybrid.

When Big Bertha Putter, it was 249. Same price as the steel ‘woods’ with graphite shafts & people freaked!
“249 for a PUTTER WT#&? €?*#!?!” – Same peeps had 3 or 4 Callaway metals in the bag, but back then no production putter on the market was > $100. Eli took a couple steps back and pointed out “It’s the most important club! The only one you use on every hole!”…
And now, NO one complains about those $300 Ping design clones (with nicer finishes) – bought right off the rack – without ever being fit AT ALL from Snotty….
I got putter fit back when it was just taking off – black tent, HS camera – all based on getting the best roll on the ball – with ‘your stroke’….blah blah – shorten the story – I’m 6’2, bad back, stand tall and putt open. Playing mini-tours, Monday 4 spots, etc. Legit 1.2 hcp. Playing with lotsa injuries. Could go 5 under or 6 over same week. Anyway, we got the loft right but I had Liprosy for years. I would lip out 1-3 putts almost every round. Cost me several checks. So much so, it was a standing joke with the other guys “if he ever got ’em to go in” – etc.. Because all my clubs are 2up, with my stancen @ 35″ the putter felt good, eyes over ball etc… Center shaft face balanced half mallet style.
Ten years later, when training to use the SAM Put Lab, I went through an extensive fitting session – it spit out so many numbers, Peltz would flip!
ANYWAY, it said my putter should be 3 FLAT! A net 5 degree change NO ONE could have possibly told me that without me cracking up….So, we bent the stick and I rolled 10/10 in (FIRST TIME EVER!) from 12′ on our (flat as can be built) putter fitting surface…unfortunately, a bit late for my mini-tour days, but much knowledge was gained and no more liprosy!
We sell beaucoup Edel & Machine custom made putters and will sell PXG’s if they work for the customer.
BOTTOM LINE – I tell all my students – go start swinging every putter on the rack. If it doesn’t look right, or on the take away it doesn’t feel like it’s swinging nicely for you – put it down and try the next one. As big an equipment freak as I am, if the $9.99 discount rack zink POS works for you- BUY IT!

I don’t understand the hype over pxg clubs. They don’t look that good and they can’t feel any better than the other premium forged offerings on the market.
desmond
Sep 6, 2016 at 7:34 am
They have a unique feel – none other like it. No, it’s not Miura-like dense yet soft. PXG feels soft and vibration-free. If you want less wear and tear on the body, going with graphite shaft and with generous bounce, you get irons that are easy on the body, forgiving as heck, and perform well with a unique feel.
Scooter McGavin
Sep 6, 2016 at 9:09 am
Maybe I’ll just have to hit them. I like the way you describe Miura’s feel. Seems accurate. But my experience with Fourteen is they have that feel-nothing-at-impact softness. Which is actually why I tend to like Fourteen more than Miura…
Skip
Sep 6, 2016 at 1:02 pm
I experience the same thing. Anything Endo Forged, some Kyoei offerings, and definitely the Miura Giken stuff give you that soft, buttery feel at impact. The North American Miuras are firm and dense.
Jim
Sep 6, 2016 at 3:17 pm
Miura is more traditional – not ‘teched out’ like Epon…least “forgiving” of the three, if you add PXG.
I prefer the Miura feel. No major OEM’s BEST Forged irons are as good. Period. No one’s hosel is as tight – Miura says it’s the most important part of the club for creating their superior feel & distance…
The first PXG O swung – happened to have had a graphite shaft. There are people who would benefit from ZERO shock / sensation @ impact – I’m not there YET.
Felt like hitting marshmallows with a swimming pool noodle….just not right –
Unless there’s a pain issue, stick w/steel – even 90gr – if it’s a strength issue as well – buy Fourteens. Nothing better @ those weights
desmond
Sep 6, 2016 at 5:34 pm
I’ll disagree as to graphite iron shafts if marshmallow means soft or torquey. Try Aerotech if you want less torque than some steel. Recoils have more “feel.” For long term longevity and to lower the probabilty of shoulder, arthritis and other issues, find some heavy graphite if you need them, or the lighter stuff when you need it.
Jim
Sep 6, 2016 at 6:28 pm
No – I’m with you on all that – it was actually a 110 gr Recoil…what I meant is the PXG feel is so ‘muted’ anyway, good graphite (no one would put cheap ones in such expensive heads) is pretty much unnecessary and (IMHO) would provide virtually no physical feedback – good or bad 🙂
Someone with severe arthritis, carpal tunnel or other hand/wrist pain or neuropthy may benefit from such minimal vibration/shock transmitted during impact…even some elbow pain (not caused by the swing action itself). 🙂
desmond
Sep 6, 2016 at 10:49 pm
I’m with you, but I’ve had friends with bad shoulders and arthritic fingers, and it’s possible that less vibration could help. I’m the guy with liteweight graphite and PXG, and it took me 2 months to figure out where I made contact without looking at the head. It can be done, it just takes time.

I was a skeptic as well… But I had a chance to hit a PXG 6-iron while I was being fit for a driver back in January. It was a legitimate “oh wow” moment after the first swing. I wasn’t on a launch monitor so I can’t speak to the performance, but the feel was out-of-this-world. Was it worth the ultra-premium price? Probably not (for most of us). But it was definitely worth hitting a few times to see what else is out there!

High handicappers would be better off using that money for lessons and range balls, instead of buying clubs that are no better than ones that can be bought for a 1/3 of the cost.
