October 8, 2017
PXG Parsons Xtreme Golf 0811xf Driver is a well acclaimed golf club whose extreme forgiveness trait makes it harder for golfers to miss even when their swing is out of hand. In other words, with this particular club customers will find it much easier to strip their drives being that the 0811XF driver is characterized with a bigger head profile and face surface area for extreme forgiveness. What’s more, the club features a CG location that assists golfers to dynamically square up the face at impact hit much straighter and longer drives. This paper is going to give invaluable insights with respect to features of PXG PARSONS XTREME GOLF 0811XF DRIVER and ways to market it.
When the Brand Was Introduced to the Market
The PXG Parsons XTREME GOLF 0811XF Driver was introduced to the market on January 31st, 2017 at Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States of America. PXG was made when the founder of the company developed a desire to make the best golf equipment in the world. As such, it can be said that incremental innovation was never an alternative and the PXG was brought to the disposition of customers so as to surpass their expectations and bring a wind of change with respect to the manner in which golfers think about their clubs. In essence, the 0811XF Driver came to redefine the market (Hanauer & Reid, 2017).
Competition
The PXG Parsons Xtreme Golf 0811xf Driver faces a lot of competition from other players in the market. Top three competitors for the new Xtreme Forgiveness driver include the Callaway, Titleist, and TaylorMade. Since the Xtreme Golf 0811xf Driver is relatively a new model that is bound to face competition endlessly, what the company needs to do is adopt a second price mover marketing strategy. Such would make customers scramble for it upon its entry into the market being that it is of a very high quality and aids golfers to realize top performance moves. With time however, when production breaks even and sufficient profits are made, then the company can raise the prices slightly (Yin, 2017).

The market segmentation currently being put into use is psychographic. I made this determination based on the discovery that maker of PXG Parsons Xtreme Golf 0811xf Driver divides its target market (prospective consumers) into segments with respect to myriad values, personality traits, interests, values, attitudes, and the way of life of said target market. This type of segmentation comes with a lot of advantages since it enables the company to get involved in the design and marketing of products in a manner that is much focused (Vamplew, 2016)
