I'm a bit intrigued ... just really don't like the name.  Xtreme screams "short-lived" and "gimmick" to me.  If it was just the irons with that name, that would be fine, but the company should just call themselves Parsons Golf.

I'm partial to Parsons Project. :-)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I peeked on ancestry.com yesterday and it appears that you and I might be long lost cousins.  Do with that what you will.

They look Xtremely ugly. Look like they were put together by a high school science class. But, if they perform, the ugly duckling will turn into a swan.

PXG 0311 irons & wedges are now available at all Cool Clubs locations

http://golfweek.com/news/2015/may/20/parsons-xtreme-golf-equipment-pxg-irons-wedges/

Quote:

The PXG 0311 irons and wedges are forged with an open face body. The company mills the cavity before a thin, HT1770 maraging steel face is plasma-welded to the chassis, creating a hollow area between the body and the face insert. That void is filled with a thermoplastic elastomer, which PXG says provides structural stability

Mr. Desmond

Good luck to them.

Definitely a luxury item that someone like Cool Clubs can sell.

They also might want to try overseas, as in Japan. If they buy Honma, they might buy  these.

It perhaps comes as no surprise what golfer will be the latest paid endorser for upstart golf company Parsons Xtreme Golf, whose founder Bob Parsons was also the man behind GoDaddy.com.
Parsons announced today that one-time LPGA player, model and recent MBA graduate of the Columbia Business School Anna Rawson, a former "GoDaddy.com Girl," will be a spokesperson for the new equipment brand. (The company provided the above image attached to the press release announcing the signing.)

More PXG news.

To produce a softer feel, quieter sound and more distance, Parson's Golf injected thermoplastic elastomer, or TPE, into a hollow-bodied iron.

All I see there is an iron with a VERY thick topline.

I think it's good for golf for smaller boutique companies to enter market with unique designs.  I'm guessing there won't be a lefty version so it's nice to look at but won't ever be an option for me to consider.

Right, definitely not a "blade" looking iron at address. More like an AP2/i25 than a MB/S55.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
