Any opinions on the Gen 3 XF irons? They are priced very aggressively and have gotten generally pretty good reviews, but I'm a senior golfer just looking for a better mousetrap. Tell me what you think.

I think you mean 0311 Gen3 XP irons? XF I believe was Gen2.
Anyways, they are my gamers right now and they are pretty good. Good strikes feel soft yet solid, and they look fantastic.
2 cons I would point out. 1, the steel is quite soft so I notice nicks, dents, and scratches more so than other irons I've owned. And 2, they have strong lofts and the ball doesn't spin as much off the face as other irons I've played, so expect the ball to run out a bit. I would pair these with high launch shafts to get the best results.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I too am a senior and recently made the switch to PXG irons. I tried all of their offerings and ended up with the Gen 3 0311P model but I did upgrade the shafts to help with my slow swing speed. To date, I like them, and they are a comfortable club providing a little more distance than I was getting from my Ping irons. I do agree, the price is right for what you get and the delivery time is exceptional,
I haven’t tried the Cypher but have tried the MMT and Elevate in Reg in PXG irons and the Elevate launched higher. The MMT was mid launch for me.I looked up both the MMT and Cypher shafts that they offer - the Cypher 50i seems to be their default A flex shaft. Why? I'm guessing because the launch is "high" compared to the MMT which is "mid". Senior golfer typically need more height in their shots so they probably push that one initially. I think the Cypher is 59 grams and the MMT is 62 grams so not much difference in weight.
I'm generally getting pretty good height with my shots so I may opt for the MMT.
MMT is now an upgrade ? Last I checked the Elevate, MMT and Cypher were all stock no charge optionsSorry for the delay in responding. My fitting resulted in the MMT 60g shaft in A-flex. I believe it was a $39 upgrade/stick. I am still trying to get adjusted to the A-flex but as I put more rounds on them I seem to be adjusting. Time will tell.
I called PXG and talked with Ryan, one of the fitting experts. My question was, what shaft should I select for the 0311 Gen 3's if I wanted to maximize spin. Without hesitation, he said I should go with the Cypher 50i.
Why did you have to pay an extra $39 per? That’s the shaft I use, and it was a stock option. I’m right on the line as far as SS between regular and senior, but the MMT plays a little stiff to flex, so you made a good choice.Sorry for the delay in responding.
