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.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

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.

Feb 19, 2015 at 10:38 pm
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.
DolphLundgrenade

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
Teaj
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.
reid
Feb 19, 2015 at 11:57 am
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
Feb 18, 2015 at 4:19 pm
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.

Feb 18, 2015 at 2:11 pm
Parsons really likes those screws…
Jon
Feb 18, 2015 at 2:22 pm
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.
