Parsons Xtreme Golf Mallet Putter
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.

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

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.”

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.”

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?
hmmmm.....

phuck it! i meant screw it! how long before there’s a scotty with 26 screws?!?

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

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.
Gary
Apr 29, 2015 at 12:58 pm
If I recall correctly, they hired the top 2 designers away from Ping (Karsten). Perhaps Mr. Parsons also thinks he is a “club designer.”

I think it needs more screws. wtf is that monstrosity. If you miss a putt I guess you could say you screwed up.

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.

Screwy guy, screwy clubs.

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
