Spotted: New PXG putters with milled inserts and TPE technology
We spotted new putters from Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) on the putting green of the Quicken Loans National on Tuesday at Congressional Country Club.
According to John Wall of the PGA Tour, there are 11 new models, each with milled inserts and the company’s familiar thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology. The putters are made from 303 stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum, and have a 304 stainless steel face insert with a hollow cavity filled with 0.150 inches of TPE sitting behind it (the Gunboat mallet has a core made of TPE that runs the “length of the head”).
Check out photos of the new models below, and read what GolfWRX members are saying here.

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

I just bought a GUNBOAT putter and love it. It has a great feel off the face when I putter.

It is nice the 2% have another nice toy to spend their money on. What is it in 2017 now about 10% your ability and 90% the tools you use? Or is it the same as 1910 99% your ability 1% the tools you use…

I like the blade, the Anser style, the center shaft, and the mallet w the line over the top. I love the screws and the great machined finish. I wonder if there is a fitting studio where I can get fit to get into one of these beauties? Based on PXGs reputation and these pics I bet these perform great in trained hands. Well done.! ????

I’m sure they will. Seems they aren’t at all interested in appealing to the regular golfer. I’d be shocked if these putters are less than $500.

Get a license, walk around town, watch interactions. Go to social events and even if it’s awkward jusy say hI to random people, then build up confidencd, throw in some jokes. Rember golf must be your passion, so golf will be your restoring time. Your already on this planet so, why give up, get up and try. You can do it

The Dagger looks interesting and I like the Mustang, but more importantly, I wish I had shares in the company that sells them those screws.

Each screw is handmade by a metal artisan in Sedona. Because, you know, if you attach the word handmade to a putter the world swoons.
