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.

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.”

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.”

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

I still don’t see the appeal of those obnoxious screws……I suppose it’s a signature ???

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…

More copies from Parsons? These will suck just like his irons and metals

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 really don’t see anything groundbreaking here. Certainly not $500 worth.

Will the price be way over the top as is their irons???
Deron
Jun 22, 2016 at 9:49 am
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.
