And, most importantly, both companies are comfortably in the black.
So, with the requisite disclaimer that we are neither financial advisors nor experts in corporate finance—we’re just folks who love golf and like to read all about it—let’s dive in.

PXG 0211 putter line features five different putter models.All putters feature the new Runway Reticle alignment system.Putters are designed to support the higher-handicap golfer.
Today, PXG announced the addition of a line of putters to their budget-conscious 0211 golf club line. This new putter line is not a replacement for their Battle Ready putter line. Instead, these putters are targeting a new golf consumer, much like the 0211 line did with full-swing clubs.
Since their inception, PXG has done their own thing in the golf arena. Mr. Parsons has a vision of how he wants to run his golf company. He stays true to that vison, even if it means that PXG must challenge some of golf’s accepted norms. What I appreciate about their approach is that PXG is also willing to blow up even their own accepted norms.
Case in point: the PXG 0211 line. A company known for making some of the most expensive golf equipment in the business launched a line that is priced well below competitors’ prices. Turns out that the 0211 gear is pretty good, too. During Most Wanted testing, the 0211 driver put up solid numbers against drivers that cost hundreds of dollars more.
I think you can guess where we are headed today with the PXG 0211 putters. Like the other 0211 products, these are less expensive than the other PXG putters. More importantly, like the other 0211 products, these putters look poised to deliver when it comes to innovation and performance.
