Depends - do we know how much was invested for this to start up? I would say their success is incredibly dollar driven versus market share, considering they're pandering to the top 5%.
PXG Rumored To Have Signed 5 in Top 50

For me the clubs need to work. If so, they will sell. People will figure out how to get them in the bag
Isn't the name of the company Parsons XTREME Golf? You are 100% right, not subtle at all. Actually that photo of Rawson is fairly tame compared to PXG.
EDIT: just went to their website, and saw the have Beatriz Recari & Sadena Parks (LPGA), Rocco Mediate (Champions) as well as Ryan Moore and Anna Rawson. Seems like a very random line up, not sure how Rocco fits in there?

Those are some different looking sticks. BUT I did say that about the Cure putters and they work fantastically
Per Fuppy and JB, TO said the iron technology is legit and works. Looking at the website, it appears those rivet looking things are tungsten weights. It puts extreme weighting on the perimeter. They can be adjusted individually to the golfer to add weight where it benefits them most. It may look odd but it sounds pretty smart.
A pretty big signing for the LPGA side of things

Only time will tell if this company can be a contender in this market...I'm happy with my current gamers.

Seeing these on the periscope Ryan did today had me even more intrigued. They're way out of my price range so I'll never have them, but I think they're gorgeous.

I was a fan of hers on big break. She is pretty long hitter too.
She was a well rounded game, the extra distance makes her tough . Emily was one of my favorites as well.

I like that signing by them, he's got a great personality.

When you say "mainstream", what exactly do you mean? I know that sounds like a stupid question but the only reason I ask is this. When I think of mainstream, i think of something that appeals to the masses. Something everyone knows about or can enjoy themselves. With that being said, didn't Parsons already say he is making golf equipment for the %1'ers? For people who have the money to buy his irons, no matter how ridiculous the price.
Not trying to undermine your post by any means, just asking what "mainstream" means in this particular case.

In this instance I was referring to the idea that the brand would make products for consumers outside of the 1%. Right now there dont seem to be any such plans in place. However you dont sign top talent at inflated prices to keep people away from the equipment.
JB, do any other super high end manufacturers have people on tour? I can't think of anyone other than Miura, but i'm sure there are many out there... I assume they don't sign talent as it doesn't translate to increased sales?

Depends really what someone means by on tour. XXIO has many players on tour (not all paid), but not a ton on the PGA Tour for a number of reasons. Miura gets a player every now and then and a few others do as well.
Not sure if she's paid or not but this came across my Instagram the other day
