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.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

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?

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

last time I checked there are not a lot of golf clubs that feature the screw

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.

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
