OK...before I forget...I don't recognize the logo on Ko's left chest.

If one goes to the PXG site....you'll see all 14 clubs named in Lydia's WITB. IMO.....Lydia should have followed Kerr...only announce limited clubs until she's tested all her sticks to ensure they are keepers. In one of the articles...it said her PXG contract didn't insist she game all PXG clubs in her bag.
The MD show contained a lot of Ko...including a session on the putting green and the white guy asking Lydia to describe her use of Aimpoint Express.....she did drain two putts with her Gunboat. She was using a Superstroke...I wonder what happened to to her Rosemark contract?

I assume Parson signed up Lang, Xtina and Ryann on the cheap with low annual bases with some nice incentives for a LPGA win and a larger bonus for a major. IMO....I have no idea why Parson even signed these three...they do zero to move the needle....especially considering Parson said he wanted to expand globally....I gotta believe he's targeting the golf crazed Asians....considering PXG is wanting to expand their global reach....I would not expect there would be any Lang, Xtina & Ryann fanboys in Asia. He should have chased after Dumbo, NYC, Winbee...or even SYR and Jenny Money if their Honma contracts expired. Or event Ai-Chan or Nasa for the golf crazed Japanese market. Lots of rich Asian posers willing to throw around money thinking they can buy a game....especially the Chinese. Is there anyone LPGA pro other than Minjee who games Srixon. Their new irons are so sweet. I hate you Yanks...TGW was selling off the Z965's for $385 shipped...WTF....I saw a thread on WRX.

Parsons most know what he doing, but $10 million for 5 years seems pretty steep for an LPGA player. I guess Ko moves the needle for guys with money.

Lydia's biggest asset is she's an Asian who speaks perfect English. I don't think she sells in either Japan or Korea; but she could be a big draw in China, India, Middle East and the likes. PXG has to sell in Asia; otherwise their days are numbered. It's Lydia who's taking the risk of signing a long term contract with PXG.

PXG and Ping iBlades look similar to me. I know that the Pings are more recent but I wonder if Ping had the design first?

I hope Gilchrist fair warns Lydia that she might get some 'hot' shots from the PXG irons. The irons have a very thin plasma welded face....allows for increased ball speeds from a trampoline effect...she'll need to watch out for these especially if she decided to attack some back pins with lots of trouble behind the greens.
My, now old, Cobra Amp Cells also had plasma welded faces....and every now and then when I nutted an iron....the ball would take off....especially if I was using a known low spin ball.
I hope Lydia goes back to a ProV1 or ProV1x.....I can't say I've ever hit a ProV1 or ProV1x and said....WTF did that shot come from.
Classic blockheads of GC...they didn't ask Lydia which ball she'd game in 2017....duh.

We'll never know much about PXG clubs as we won't see any at the big box retailers. A guy I know who spends a ton om clubs said he might get some PXG irons...but so far none.....he has flown down to Carlsbad to both TM and Callaway to be fitted there....yes he spends a lot on sticks. I'll have more luck test driving a Bentley than demo'ing a PXG iron....though I think Modern Golf here might be a authorized PXG dealer.

I saw a guy at the range today with the Srixon 965's....boy they are so sweet looking...simply stunning in real life...we started chatting and he let me hit a few shots....they had TT DG S300's. I know it's an oxymoron....but I'd say these could be GI blades. These were pretty forgiving for a 'blade'. Demo a set if you guys/gals ever get a chance.
I watched a Mark Crossfield vid last night...Mark said the 965's have a long face...now I know what he's talking about. I laid my JPX 825 Pro's side by side with the 965 with 5 irons.....the 965's had the ever so slight shorter face with a thinner top line.

OK...before I forget...I don't recognize the logo on Ko's left chest. You can see it below, but WTH does it say? It looks like MCKAISON, which I can't find via yahoo or google. https://www.instagram.com/p/BO0mTxBjgTX BTW, Ko must be nuts to drop her two-ball putter.
