Parsons PXG 0311 irons and wedges, previously shrouded in mystery, are now available exclusively at Cool Clubs fitting locations — and as indicated by the upstart equipment manufacturer website, they’re not cheap.

Below are the prices per head for PXG 0311 irons and wedges:

$300 Stock Shaft Options

KBS TOUR 90
KBS TOUR
KBS TOUR-V
Nippon 95

$325 Stock Shaft Options

KBS C-Taper
Nippon Modus

$350 Stock Shaft Options

I bought a complete set of PXG’s and went from a 15 index to a 2 in 3 days. I simply write down bogus scores but man do I look cool with these sticks on the back of my cart. Nuff said about the insanity of $300/iron.

Love all the people complaining about $300 a club when I’ll bet all of them have dropped at least that on a driver and/or spent a grand on a set. If there is no difference in clubs between these and AP2, why is there a difference between AP2’s and a $200 set of Taylor Mades?

Just went all in with PXG gear. Driver-Putter. I’ve had them all (Miura,Edel and all the major OEM Brands). Never have hit an entire set like these. Can’t find a weak spot. The driver is a beast with the correct settings and the Mustang putter is second to none. I would normally not play a 4 iron but am consistently hitting PXG 4 iron as if it was a 7 iron. Very expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion. Instead of trading in and out and spending the 5K eventually. Just go all in 1 time and bite the bullet. Won’t ever need another set to compete with these. Hard to beat my friends.

I’m not sure what this guy is thinking but I can tell you I have played the game for 25 years and unless your are a pro or spend the time it takes to be a pro there is not a club out there worth this kind of money, what person I there right mind would spend this on head I mean she must be really good for me to spend that much on head and no shaft.

Interesting concept.

Just a bit expensive.

I wonder how much each screw will cost if you want to make adjustments.

I think everyone is forgetting that the target market (and people who should be playing a blade) is less then 1% of the golf population. Research has been done by the current major golf retail stores as to their demographics income. Typically the people who would purchase this style iron are more then capable to afford them at the high price point. Yes overall compared to PXG’s competitors I think the price is high, but is it worth the higher price? That all depends on what the PXG’s do for you. Personally I like the concept around the moveable set screws. It is much better than trying to reposition lead tape. If this was a game improvement style iron at this price point then yes Parsons is off his rocker, but this is a professional/players club.

  More like a billionaire owner (Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy and hunter of African elephants) out of touch with reality. Or maybe he just wanted to target his ultra rich friends. Either way, I’m not buying from that slimeball. They do look nice though, albeit a tad gimmicky. I have to tip my hat to the engineers. I’m guessing they won’t be having demo’s in my area any time soon.

So this is the club you get when a billionaire wants to dabble in the golf world. At least he’s not out shooting elephants in Africa.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good luck I was considering giving these a look but for $300 a club only a person with more money than sense would by these. Get a normal set of clubs, take your savings from these and pay for some lessons

  What if you used to be a +4/+5 and now you are a 2-4 handicap that doesn’t get to play much because of work and family? Would you not pay to look at a head that looks like the blades you are familiar with from the past and avoid that clunky GI iron?
  
  Also, $300/head, I get it, it is a lot of money for an iron, traditionally speaking. In the grand scheme of things $300 is not that much money; disparaging brands or others because they have discretionary income isn’t really the best look for the golf community.
  
  Last I checked, the entire sport is based on discretionary income with an absolute $0 ROI.

So I read these are basically hollow heads filled with plastic. I wonder how much weight you can move around with the screws? I just can’t see ever buying these at that price point. There is no way they are that much better than any of the other top brands. Just a reminder to me that you can’t buy a good golf game.

  I hate to be a jerk but I don’t see how a domestic startup golf OEM can expect to sell enough units, at the advertised price point, to stay solvent. Best of luck to the folks at PXG but I’m not holding my breath on this one…

    Perhaps it is a greater investment into the game of golf from a technology standpoint. If the concept is sounds other OEM’s will certainly adobt it. Relax, time will tell.

This company will be out of buisness in a year, unless the owner keeps dumping money into it. How can you justify the price point? You can buy mizuno, pings, titleist and have $1500 left to spend. Or miura’s for $500-$600 cheaper. The only players that will buy these are are ones with more money then sense

To justify that price I better hit 80% of my greens.

I was able to try these the other day. They are an extremely solid and stable head from the LW through the long irons. They set up quite like a set of Ping S55’s, but are much more forgiving. Ball flight was nice and penetrating and relatively long as well.

Haha, $300 per club. So $3k for irons and wedges. Plus tax. I’m guessing 95% of the original “buyers” have now changed their mind.

  Count me as one of those. If they were maybe a slight premium above the OEMs I’d buy them for sure, but 3x the price of G30s and AP2s? No thanks, even if they can prove it’ll improve your distance by X, it’s just a simple cost/benefit decision.

I can’t make up my mind with these irons/wedges….I thought they were growing on me, I like shape, and look from address, but 6 irons at >$1800+ Is a lot for some screwed up irons, lots of options at that price. Where did Parsons come from? Meaning another OEM? Or is that just company’s name?

Too much going on with those srews for my liking & at a price tag around 3K$ bit overpriced. I am sure some folks will buy it but they not sell like hot cakes.

I’ve owned 3 sets of Miuras including the baby blades ..I’m thinking there prices are head/shaft ..$300/$350 per club ..love the size..smaller compact head ..top line has a little more width like the apex mb ..and top toe is shortened so at the address position looks even shorted toe to heel ..I just question the offset ..I hope it’s just the camera angle ..or at that rate the p wedge would look hideous..714 titleist mb has a nice looking offset..Miura baby blades have perfect offsets in their p wedges ..mizuno mp-4 is a little too much offset for me ..in any case would love to hit these for all I know they could be great

Is this incomplete? I don’t see the pricing unless you meant for us to assume that the price above the shafts is the “per head” price in those shafts.

Then and now: Comparing Rory McIlroy’s current setup to his record-breaking 2019 Canadian Open victory

Published

2 hours ago

Jun 11, 2026

Alistair Cameron

In Rory McIlroy’s first appearance at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open, he crushed the record books to earn his 16th PGA Tour title in dominating fashion, winning by seven shots over Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson.

McIlroy’s score of 22-under-par 258 is the lowest 72-hole score to date at the Canadian Open, and his closing 61 is also the best final-round score in the history of one of golf’s oldest tournaments. Finally, with his win in 2019, McIlroy became only the sixth player to win the career Triple Crown, adding to his victories at the U.S. Open in 2011 and The Open Championship in 2014, joining Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods in a coveted list.

So, with that, why not compare his current setup to the clubs he used to break all the records?

Driver

2019: TaylorMade M5 (9 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D (9 degrees @8), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7X (45 5/8 inches)

McIroy led the Tour in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee in 2019; he’s doing the same in 2026. Between now and then, McIlroy has switched from the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX (a shaft with slightly more feeling in the tip) to the original Fujikura Ventus Black 7X, having just made the change to the heavier version from playing the 60X.

What’s interesting about McIlroy’s 2019 setup is that the weighting on his driver is actually set in the high-draw setting, using the T-Track weighting system, whereas in the Qi4D, he’s currently using a heavily rear-weighted setup. (Two 13-gram weights in the rear and only two 4-gram front weights.)

The TaylorMade M5 driver he played in during his Canadian Open win was the company’s first head that they claimed to design to initially exceed the USGA’s COR limit, and then injected with tuning resin to bring it back in bounds.

Fairway woods

2019: TaylorMade M6 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 80 TX; TaylorMade M5 5-wood (19 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 90 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 8X; TaylorMade Qi4D 5-wood (18 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 9X

The TaylorMade M6 fairway wood that McIlroy was using during the 2019 season is still in the bag of some of the best golfers on Tour in 2026. Just check out Justin Rose’s winning setup from the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year. This year, though, McIlroy has still been searching for his top-end-of-the-bag setup, having played both the new Qi4D and the Qi10, which he won the Masters with.

The same shaft swap can be seen in the fairway woods as the driver, along with slightly less loft on the 5-wood.

Irons

2019: TaylorMade P750 (4) Buy here, TaylorMade P730 (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0
2026: TaylorMade P760 (4), TaylorMade Rors Proto (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0

The biggest difference between McIlroy’s custom set and the stock P730s is the groove design. While the P730s were constructed with 14 MX-9 grooves on their milled faces, McIlroy’s proto heads instead use the higher-spinning, 16-groove layout of the TW2 grooves. Other big differences between the sets are that McIlroy’s 7- and 8-irons have thinner toplines, are 1 degree stronger in loft, and are 1/4 inch longer than the original P730 builds.

With McIlroy’s 4-iron, the switch from P750 to P760 sees a transition to a two-piece construction with Speed Foam in it, which allows McIlroy to launch the ball slightly higher, with more workability.

Wedges

2019: TaylorMade Milled Grind (48-09SB), TaylorMade MG Hi-Toe (52-09SB, 56-09SB, 60-LB09), Shafts: Project X Rifle 6.5
2026: TaylorMade MG5 (46-09SB, 50-09SB, 54-11SB, 60-08LB @61), Shafts: Project X 6.5 (46-54), Project X 6.5 Wedge (60)

Between 2019 and 2026, McIlroy’s focus on his short game has been much more apparent. It was the reason why he switched back to the TP5 golf ball, to help with launch, spin and control with his wedges leading up to his career Grand Slam victory in 2025. The most apparent changes to McIlroy’s wedge setup are his lofts and bounce. He’s slowly delofted his pitching to a sand wedge, but has increased the loft on the lob wedge, bending his current 60-degree to 61. With that, adding more loft to his lob wedge also slightly increases the bounce and leading-edge sit point, so, as a result, he plays a lower-bounce lob wedge compared to 2019. The MG5 wedges are also softer than the first Milled Grind option from 2019. McIlroy also no longer plays the full-face grooves found on the Hi-Toe.

Putter

2019: TaylorMade Spider X
2026: TaylorMade Spider Tour X

Notice anything similar. Yes, the copper finish on Rory McIlroy’s Spider X putter in 2019 is a slightly more reflective finish than the recently released torched PVD finish. McIlroy was using the True Path alignment system, but now uses only a single white sightline.

Ball

2019: 2019 TaylorMade TP5 (#22)
2026: 2025 TaylorMade TP5 (RORS)

As mentioned above, McIlroy had transitioned from the TP5 to TP5x golf ball since his victory in Canada in 2019, but now is black with the same style of golf ball as his victory at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

Grips

2019: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
2026: Golf Pride MCC

Interesting, McIlroy actually used Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet Cord grips during his victory in 2019 (it was during a 2+ year switch to the corded TV) as opposed to his usual MCC grips, which he has played for most of his career.
