Spotted: Parsons Golf PXG 08 Driver
Yesterday, we spotted Ryan Moore with a new Parsons Golf putter.
Today, we spotted him testing a Parsons Golf driver, which looked a lot like the model that’s currently on the USGA’s List of Conforming Club Heads.
The adjustable driver appears to have 16 removable weights that give golfers the ability to tune the center of gravity and swing weight to their liking.
A release date is yet to be announced for Parsons Golf clubs.

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.

Its definitely an odd looking stick, but hey, stranger things have caught on and been successful. Wonder how it plays?

It’s another boutique company like Nakashima. Charge you exorbitant prices to “own” their clubs. They may do well, the clubs may be great but golf is in a downward spiral and it’s going to get worse not unless we can get some sanity in our economic system.

you do realize that people don’t have to buy this stuff right? If there’s no market for these boutique companies, they’ll cease to be companies pretty quickly. If there is a market, they’ll make money and get bigger, it’s kind of how our economic system works.

I would think that the screws provide many advantages, not only in moving CG around but also in tuning total weight, swingweight, MOI etc.
Who cares what the look like so long as they work and you line them up on target.

Is there a mechanism to lock down the screws so they don’t work loose and fly out?

While I appreciate innovation/technology as much as the next guy, it still boils down to “see ball, hit ball”. It seems that thinking out of the box is getting out of hand.

Man I dont get you guys at all, how can you argue against TWO AMAZING CLUB DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS, and Bob Freaking Parsons?? These guys KNOW what they are doing, have YEARS and Degrees in this stuff, and yet you somehow think your account on here makes you qualified enough and more so than they are on their designs???? Unreal…..
I cant WAIT to see what the results are behind this driver and his clubs. Also I cant wait to see them on the boards and talk about the designs and why it works and see you complain than.

I don’t know, look at Washington, full of supposedly smart people with lot’s of degrees and look at the mess our country is in. If they were any smarter a large golf club manufacturer would be using them or they would be making 7 figures at some high tech firm, not designed golf clubs.

What? Look at Washington, 7 is a cool number, supposedly, but if Donkey Kong wins the Kentucky Derby then golf clubs would have weight and our economy would be better.

Let’s hope no one hits it on the screws with this club!
That’ll be the lamest joke of the day and you’re all welcome for it!

” I would play this over TM any day.” It continues to amaze me how many trolls get off on bashing TaylorMade, as if they have personally done something to you. Here you have a completely untested, unproven club which could be 30 yards shorter than a TM driver and spray the ball in all directions, and you’re willing to put your name under a statement like this. Bizarre!

I’ll play any driver if it performs regardless of how it looks. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but, I’ve played white,blue,striped, giant slots in the head, and fins. None of them bother me. You are all too hung up on looks. Grip it and rip it! Lol

Feb 19, 2015 at 8:41 am
seems like everyone is incorporating some sort of slot tech on the bottom of their drivers so to lessen spin on balls hit low on the face. if the tech works I wonder why they did not fit this into their design with the driver? As a tech junkie I would love to see the engineering behind this driver as someone else mentioned it looks like they think outside the box a little.

They need to figure out who they are competing against – big difference from TM to Miura. Their offerings so far aren’t very good looking at all and won’t really get anyone to purchase their products when compared to TM, Ping, Callaway or anyone else. The use of multiple screws seems heavy handed and won’t add to the value, quality or adjustibility of the product and wouldn’t even remotely get me to purchase their products. Ryan Moore seems to go out of his way to be ‘different’ from others, from wearing ties on the course to now using odd equipment, so this fits with his liking. Not too encouraged by PXG’s offerings for what it’s worth.

Amen. And by now, it doesn’t take a PhD in engineering or physics to see that the screws are far more gimmick than than function. Good luck with that, Parsons.
Jim

Seems Parsons is really latching onto the ‘many screw’ design motif. Just seems really unnecessary and something that no one will want to adjust. They need to come out with top quality products that aren’t hokey that will stand apart from the competition (maybe they need to figure out who they are competing against too – big difference from TM to Miura. Seems they have come out with only the hokey stuff so far.

I know this is part of Parsons design but are all those screws really necessary? Still ok on the putter but they went over the top on this driver.
terry
Feb 19, 2015 at 12:37 am
yes. it gives him the adjustability like all the other companies but without looking like the other clubs. I would play this over TM any day. It looks like you can really fine tune your ball flight. put the heavier weights in front for a lower ball flight, back for a higher, etc.

Parsons really likes those screws…

Yes he does. One could say he either has a screw loose or is a screwball. Ha! Whether or not I like the designs, I appreciate the thinking out of the box.
