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. :-)

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

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.

I really like the look of these but at double the price of current high end clubs I will have to pass.

Anna Rawson_PXG1.jpg
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.

AP2? I'm thinking AP1…

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
