Parsons Xtreme Golf Mallet Putter

Published

If you’ve seen photos of Parsons Xtreme Golf clubs, you know they’re indulgent with screws, which allow golfers to dial in their preferred weight and center of gravity.

This “High MOI” putter, which we spotted at the LPGA North Texas Shootout, is no different.

On Tuesday, we took photos Sedena Parks with a PXG Mallet putter that has 25 screws lining the top and sides of the head.

To read more about PXG clubs, see the related stories below.

Author Note: Feel free to make your favorite “screw” joke in the comment section below, but just know, you’re being judged on originality.

you know that part of the club, oh, what do you call it? The place that matters, where the club contacts the ball! Uh…. Oh!! The FACE!! It might have been nice to have a pic of that. You know, just to see if the screw placement there is going to affect ball impact.

It looks like something I would scoop dog poop into. Does it come with an added nugget sweeper?

I envision Parsons screaming “I need more screws”, much like Christopher Walker screamed “more cowbell” in that SNL skit.

Looks like something made by RONCO and sold only on Christmas commercials.

And yet another ugly club from PXG. Did they hire quality designers or outcasts from other manufacturers to design their clubs? They are the oddest, ugliest clubs I’ve seen in recent memory and I’ll be hard pressed to imagine too many pro’s or consumers using them. Another pipe dream from a too-rich guy with money to burn I guess.

  If I recall correctly, they hired the top 2 designers away from Ping (Karsten). Perhaps Mr. Parsons also thinks he is a “club designer.”

Tungsten is heavier than stainless but the volume replaced by the screws is much less than what was removed. Ill guess the head weight net is 1 gram heavier. I dont see screws all over the putter, i see star shaped holes. Appreciate the guy loctiting and screwing those in.

I’ll be curious to see how the clubs hold up and how easy the screws will come lose, be lost, or strip when you try to remove them but I think the concept is interesting so I’ll probably give them a chance

Is there a reason for not showing the face?

Spotted: Chris Kirk’s Callaway Opus wedges

Published

Gear junkies have been waiting patiently for Callaway to release new wedges. We may have gotten a sneak peek at what’s coming after seeing something new in Chris Kirk’s bag at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge. Spotted were a few different wedges, but the Callaway Opus caught our eye.

The term opus can mean, “any artistic work, especially one on a large scale. With iconic wedge designer Roger Cleveland now working with Terra Forza golf, could this have been his last creation for Callaway?

We don’t have any official word from Callaway on these wedges, but the main focal point seems to be the extra mass in the center of the club. This added material could be used to adjust the center of gravity on the wedge in order for it to launch and spin a specific way. It can also be used to enhance the feel and sound of the club with more material behind the impact location.

The shaping of the head looks to be a little more on the rounded side compared to the current Jaws Raw wedges. The topline on the wedge looks to be fairly thin and the leading edge is pretty straight with just a little bit of a radius to it. The color looks to be an antique brown and it will be interesting to see if that is a plating on the club or some kind of oilcan finish that will wear away and rust.
