PXG's first standalone wedge line, launched in 2015 alongside the brand's ultra-premium 0311 iron/driver push under founder Bob Parsons. Forged from 8620 carbon steel with PXG's signature weight screws lining the toe and lower face for a subtle negative-gear effect at impact, the 0311 wedge was built to deliver tour-level spin through wide, laser-etched grooves rather than to chase forgiveness. At roughly $295-$300 per club it was priced far below PXG's later $650 fully-milled Sugar Daddy, positioning it as the brand's accessible wedge while Sugar Daddy carried the flagship-luxury banner. It shipped in a single sole/grind option, a limitation reviewers flagged repeatedly as out of step with the custom-fit wedge market Titleist Vokey and Cleveland had already built.
Reviewers (Plugged In Golf, Today's Golfer, GolfersAuthority) consistently rated its spin performance among the best tested post-groove-rule, but it carries no independent scarcity or collector narrative of its own - it reads as a well-reviewed, one-grind wedge overshadowed in PXG's own lineup by the Sugar Daddy milled line.
Suits low-to-mid handicap players chasing tour-level spin who are willing to pay PXG's premium without needing a fitted sole grind; not a fit for higher handicappers who dig deep divots or need a wide-sole bounce option, and not for anyone wanting PXG's showcase milled feel - that is what the pricier Sugar Daddy line is for.
Arrived as PXG's wedge answer to Titleist Vokey SM6/SM7 and Cleveland RTX during the mid-2010s premium-wedge boom; superseded within PXG's own catalog by later 0311 Forged/Gen generations and eclipsed in prestige by the 2017 Sugar Daddy, which became PXG's true flagship wedge line.
A forged, mid-size players' wedge with weight screws pulling mass toward the perimeter for some stability, but only one sole grind is offered regardless of turf or attack angle, so golfers who need heel/toe or bounce customization get none - off-center strikes are punished more than on Ping or Titleist wedges with multiple grind options.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Cheap on the used market today - Golf Avenue lists used 0311 wedges from about $51, with later Forged/3X Forged variants running $80-$100; a fraction of PXG's original near-$300 retail, reflecting both PXG's steep new-to-used depreciation and the brand's frequent generational refreshes.
