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.

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

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…

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.

  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.

    just half the world…. the other half seems to think sarcasm and mockery is the way to go. To each their own though.

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut

Published

Alistair Cameron

Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.

So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)

Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.

Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.

Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.

Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.

Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”
