PXG launches limited-edition Darkness Operator Putter
PXG has announced the release of a new limited-edition Darkness Operator Putter, which features new variable-sized, pyramid pattern face design.
Speaking on the innovation from PXG, Bob Parson, the company’s founder and CEO stated
“This year, the introduction of PXG’s limited-edition Darkness Putter is more than the reveal of a sleek new, murdered-out finish with a sick insignia. It is the introduction of our game-changing new face technology.”
The new variable-sized, pyramid face pattern, features small pyramid structures on the putter head which are designed to bite into the face of the golf ball to create a more consistent roll and launch, as well as improve overall sound and feel, according to the company. The size of the pyramids varies across the putter face, with the center of the putter head featuring the greatest density pattern, in order to offset ball speed loss thus creating improved ball speed control.
The new PXG Darkness Operator Putter comes with five 10-gram weights at the sole, with a finished head weight of 375 grams. The purpose of this weight kit is to help golfers offset either a push or pull miss tendency through adjusting the head weight, and it is also designed to help to finely tune the dynamic close rate of the putter.
The new edition from PXG will also feature an emblazoned Darkness skull insignia and the number 26, which represents the 26th Marine Corps Regiment that Bob Parsons served with during the Vietnam War. As well as this, the Darkness Operator Putter arrives with an exclusive Darkness grip by SuperStroke, a signature PXG Darkness head cover, and is uniquely numbered according to the order it was milled.
The new limited-edition PXG Operator Putter is available now on PXG’s website at a price of $700.

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

800 bucks? For what? A semi-adjustable putter personalized for someone else?
PXG has created a luxury brand. You’re not paying for better technology or performance.You’re paying for the brand and your association with it. I’m not saying the marginal costs outweigh the marginal benefits. I’m saying there ARE NO marginal benefits.
If you want a truly adjustable putter, get the Happy Putter from Brainstorm. If you want real technological performance, get a putter with a lot of MOI and a CG set back, like a Spider or a Craze-E. But if you want to shell out a bunch (a huge bunch) of bucks for no real improvement–but to have a “prestige piece,” go for this. In fact, Bob has some irons he’d like to show you, too.

my daughter who is a artist and every painting she sells she donates 10 percent to the marine dark horse battalion, I bet not a cent from the 600 dollars goes to any military unit.

$700 is peanuts for flaunting military reputation on the golf course. Just imagine all the oohs and aahs you’ll get on the putting practice green when you pull out this beauty… worth every U$D… soooo impressive… it’ll knock the cleats off yer golffing buddies.

Appropriately made for human murderers from the military who have nothing but hate in their hearts for the foreign person.

No, it isn’t. You can change your life today, and everybody else’s, by love, and reaching across, shaking their hands.
You think you do because you have hate in your heart, but you can, change that. It’s up to you.

Not quite.
I’m both a “bleeding heart liberal” AND a retired military officer. Military members carrying out their duties are not “murderers.” You weaken any pacifist argument you’d like to proffer by using such outrageous rhetoric.
Military leaders understand that the best war is the one you don’t have to fight. Civilians without our experience sometimes don’t understand that, while others (like you) mis-characterize us. Please don’t. It’s both wrong on the facts and rude.

They’re killers. Don’t be fooled. But then you’re not. Because you’re a killer.
It’s a shame. Every minute is another opportunity to reach out and send love and make friends with everybody in the world.
I guess you’re still stuck in hate.
I still offer my hand. If you kill me it still proves my point.

I’m gonna save myself $656 by grabbin’ my Taylor Daddy Long Legs, painting it gunmetal gray, designing a skull template, and painting my birth year ’64 on the bottom!! I did sign up for Selected Service in ’82, so maybe that’ll be better than ’64. Oh jeez, back to da drawing board!
But hey BP, I do thank you and your courageous brothers and sisters for your service to our country as well. Semper Fi!! I also can not hate
on you having cajones to design golf equipment out of the blue, charge unconscious prices, AND GET IT!!
