PXG 0211 DC Vs. Titleist T300 Irons Comparison Overview
The Titleist T300 irons were designed to be the forgiving cousin in the T family of irons. They are loaded with forgiveness features that don’t leave a lot of room for anything else.
On the other hand, the PXG 0211 DC irons were also made to be more forgiving but provide some workability as well.
If you are a high to mid handicapper, you’ll want to give both of these iron sets a look as they do both have something unique to offer.
PXG 0211 DC Irons Overview
The PXG 0211 DC’s were meant to be PXG’s entry-level irons and they certainly live up to this purpose.
Not only are these some of PXG’s most affordable irons; they are pretty user-friendly as well. Thanks to the undercut channel bored into the head, the face of these irons flexes more. For us, this meant that we were still getting good ball speed on off-center shots.
The PXG 0211 DC irons also have progressive offset throughout the set. The offset is very pronounced in the long irons. This helped us square up to the ball on full-bore swings. We liked the overall accuracy we were getting from these irons.
The miraging steel face was also responsive which made it easier to correct short-game shots. However, the launch angles we were getting were certainly lacking.
Titleist T300 Irons Overview
The T300 irons utilize a unique construction process in conjunction with affordable features.
The cool thing about these irons is the ultra-dense tungsten weights that were made with a crazy 2,000 degree Fahrenheit brazing process. This gives them exceptional launch in the long irons and provides good balance in the short irons.
That balance certainly helped us in terms of greenside accuracy. High and mid handicappers will certainly rejoice at the easy flow of these irons both on the fairway and around the green. That being said, the T300 irons lack a lot of inherent workability.
They were designed to launch high and go long and the polymer core certainly helps them play long; but we were actually getting better distance out of the PXG 0211 DC irons. The variable face thickness of the T300’s also helped with accuracy.
The T300 irons performed admirably in terms of forgiveness and launch but they lacked the workability of the PXG 0211 DC irons. The PXG 0211 DC’s also played longer by an average of 3 yards.

PXG 0211 First Impressions
We didn’t think that the PXG 0211 irons were going to perform much differently than other PXG irons we have tested based on the muscle back design.
However, they did. There was a slight improvement in overall feel and forgiveness. We tested the 4 and 5 irons first and found that we were getting better ball speed on shots around the crown and sole than with other models.
The vibration dampening properties of the COR2 insulation also made the long irons more comfortable on full swings. The PXG 0211 irons also produce pretty good launch angles thanks to moderately generous loft.
The short irons didn’t offer much in the way of workability though. Although, that might not be such an issue for beginners and high handicappers. Still, this is something you may want to consider if you plan on investing in the PXG 0211 irons as a long-term set.
Titleist T300- First Impressions
The first thing you notice about these Cavity Irons is how the top line looks deceptively thin for an iron that is primarily built for distance.
The second thing that is immediately obvious is that there are a few key differences between the short and the longer irons.
The shorted irons have thinner soles, leading to increased workability that can be useful to even single digit handicappers while that trend is reversed in the longer irons, which focus more on distance.
The long irons have a polymer insert that makes these cavity backs sound and feel much better than a regular cavity back. The longer irons also have tungsten weighting in the head that keeps the center of gravity low and MOI high for ultimate performance.
The result is irons that generate quite a bit more distance than the AP1’s and can hold their own with any forgiving distance iron on the market.

Who are the PXG 0211 Irons for?
While the PXG 0211 irons are billed as forgiving game-improvement irons, we have our doubts.
Yes, high handicappers and beginners will love the soft feel of these irons. Additionally, the low spin rate in the long irons means that high handicappers will be able to get down the fairway quicker.
However, these irons won’t do much for a high handicapper in terms of accuracy. If you are struggling to produce straight shots with your irons, don’t expect much help from the PXG 0211 irons.
In reality, the PXG 0211 irons would actually be better-suited to mid-handicap players.
If you aren’t having much trouble finding the sweet spot with your irons then the PXG 0211’s would be worth a look.
The 0211 Family
Included in the 0211 series of irons from PXG are the 0211 DC and 0211 ST sets. The 0211 DC irons feature a dual layer of polymer inside the head which helps preserve the maximum amount for energy. These are most certainly distance irons for high to mid handicappers.
The 0211 ST irons on the other hand have a solid-body design and have been triple forged for exceptional feel and enhanced workability. These blade irons feature a muscle back design and offer exceptional greenside spin control which makes them ideal for low handicap players.
