Unexpectedly - The PERFECT game improvement IRON? - Paradym X Irons

[@chrisengland1]

I have these irons that replaced my Apex 21 DCBs & the distance & tight dispersion is amazing. I’m a slower swing after strokes & unbalanced with partial sight but HCP 18-20 - had 4 birdies & a near eagle today in rain & wind - just love the sound, look & feel - 5i is easy to hit & goes miles (170-180 for me) - 100% agree on the tempo. Bear irons I’ve ever had.

[@marcogrieco3555]

Just ordered a full set of these. Came down to these or Mizuno Hot Metals and Paradym X were just a little easier to hit.

[@rhawksfam]

I decided to go with the PXG Gen5 0311P. Not quite as strongly lofted but they have forged face and body, much thinner and more appealing profile than my Taylormade Stealth irons and what these seem to offer. Add in that the Gen5's are now on sale since PXG just released their Gen6 models and you've got a great formula for success!

[@rayspooner1982]

Love PXG. I have the original 0211's and I plan on playing those for the next 10 year. So I'm not sure why I'm watching club reviews 😂.

[@rhawksfam]

@@rayspooner1982 "Golf porn"! Have to confess that I'm addicted too! ;-)

[@billyboulier8646]

I have PXG Gen5 0311T - I’m 75 and found these the best looking, sounding, feel and also forgiving. You don’t need to settle for a bulky iron with lots of offset.

[@myronwatkinski]

I have had these a month. Never had irons that felt like this. Fantastic feel with Hzrdus graphite shafts. More accurate than my old Rogue X irons with steel shaft. If you are on the ropes, my advice is buy them.

[@bradleytarr6009]

I've just gone from blades to Paradym. I'm tempted to get a Paradym X 4 iron to replace my current 2 iron.

[@711himself]

Andy, from usa; 6 Gen 5 pxg x6=$894. Add 2 wedges from them, total is $1172 for all forged clubs. You can always add the wedges later; don’t think $894 is steep for 6 quality forged irons & have choice of T, P or XP…

[@timothyjeavons1]

Great review as always Andy, thanks much! Now looks aside, how did the Paradym X perform compared to the Stealth HD irons you were so impressed by earlier this year? I’ve had the stealth HD irons on the top of my list but would love to see a head to head with the Paradyms’s if you feel up to it. May be a fun and engaging series of videos where you crown thus years best SGI irons in your opinion and then every year you test the new contenders against the reigning champ to see who takes top spot? Just a thought. Cheers.

[@blaw9571]

I played the stealth hd irons all season as a new golfer. Went and got a proper fitting and I got fitted for the regular paradym irons and I averaged 20 yards more carry with the paradym. Hard to believe but true. Needless to say I gave the HD’s to my son and I bought the paradym’s

[@brandons4301]

Andy has been my Club and bag set up for years, call him the club Guru. From dropping the 4 iron and add a 7 wood drop the 3 wood go to a 5 wood added a Ping Chipr and have been saving shots ever since. I tested so many irons this year and have ordered the new Callaway Paradym. I hit them so well, my fitter and I liked everything about the Paradym. The Paradym X. The Xs are still fantastic clubs. the final 4 clubs TM Stealth the Ping 430 and both Paradym's

[@Murf1802]

Thank you for review, not bad, a little heavy on the offset but not to bulkey, but the over all look is very sharp looking, I've tested many many differnt golf companies like yourself, I believe that callaways equipment doesn't stand up to a beating , the faces seem to get banged up and scratched very easily compared to other big companies , that said I game the Apex TCB forged and they seem to be holding up , not sure maybe the more expensive line has better material, watch out for the chrome finish,

[@tezzlacoilz]

This. Callaway chrome finish looks amazing in the wrapper. One day of use later it shows marks immediately. A few weeks later and they look a season old. This was on a set of Mavrik GI for my old man. I then got him a set of rogue st pro and those have held their finish way way better. But my Srixon zx7s look almost the same as when I bought them after a year+ of use.

[@ianbartlett7698]

Just been fitted for these at AG and now on order just gotta wait 4 weeks now.😂

[@scotpage5526]

Thank you for another wonderful, down to earth video. I especially love how you are reviewing them out on the course. I just purchased a set of Cleveland xl launcher irons from a fitting with club champion. I'm looking forward to playing them for the 1st time but also a little scared due to the cost of custom fitting vs off the shelf cost..what if they don't perform? I'd love your feedback on those irons, and the custom fit/shafts, etc vs off the rack. Thank you as always for your kind demeanor

[@cgvagf]

I'm looking at Callaway for the entire bag this year. Every video I've seen can't find anything wrong with them, only praises.

[@ghblues1970]

I bought ST Max driver and Rogue ST OS irons (more traditionally lofted) recently. Can't fault them, good feel and really helped my game, the irons especially.

[@scottelder7648]

Im a higher Hadicapper (18) with a moderately slow swing of around 90. I have trouble getting height on my mid irons. I just ordered the Cobra Air x irons. I haven’t seen many reviews in these, but I’m hoping they help! They aren’t as expensive as some of the other game improvement clubs. $699 for a combo set…4H, 5H, 6i-pw.😊

[@adrianlovett3483]

Yup got Titliest T400, doing what the Paradigm X does but brought out 2 years ago …Calloway a bit behind the times. Problem is better golfers don’t like the help these clubs give higher handicappers. Not sure why better golfers don’t use them but that’s their issue.

[@SplashFPV]

I play 790’s but could myself see playing these. Ego left at the door , they look great

[@robertshields6214]

I hit my irons pretty well and I recently purchased a 7 stealth hd just to play with on my simulator. I fell in love with the feel and sound. So easy to hit, not sure why I would go back to my normal Mcgb TM iron which is also easy to hit.

[@wessims3412]

Love everything about them, looks, performance given in KZbin testing, but in Canada here taxes in = $2100. Maybe in three years when something else knew was out on the price plum it’s on these down to where I can afford them I would definitely put them in the bag then. Great review, super shot results considering all that wind.

[@TheDudeofmany]

I play the paradigm x 5 iron. Once I forced myself to hit a 5 iron became my favorite club to hit.

[@gcoffey223]

Not sure what is tucked underbyour arm but thise zx4's is my guess. They felt amazing when I tried them

[@kellycoates5027]

Andy in your opinion are those better than the new Srixon zx4

[@carpykeith]

Thankfully, given the look of these, I’m not one of their target market but if they help people start/keep playing then good luck with them should you buy them!

[@deanmackogolf8023]

Having played the pxg 0211 irons for a couple of years I would never go back to a super game-improvement iron. I get all the forgiveness I want with a top line that is reasonable. And basically no offset.

[@KevinVanic]

You need to get a set of the Eleven golf hybrid irons in Hereford and do a review.

[@pickitupgolf276]

Was watching a review of the regular Paradym earlier, and apparently they're more of a "Player's distance" iron than a regular Game Improvement iron like most brand's flagship set of irons would be. Thought that was very interesting.

[@xXcharliegoonerXx]

2nd swing? I saw that video too haha, makes me want to give the Paradym irons a whack

[@pickitupgolf276]

@@xXcharliegoonerXx yes! lol

[@blaw9571]

I have the paradym irons and they are rocket launchers. At my fitting I hit them 10 yards longer then any other new iron out

[@sevesellors2831]

Great video very nice looking and full of tech, I’m trying these next Friday along with Rogue. Price is steep So my expectations are on the ceiling and would expect them to blow every competitor off the course for that price. Can it out perform Stealth 2, Dynapower, and Airjet.

[@wdmore]

It is not the club as much as it is the player. I would bet anyone of the clubs you mentioned would be great. I would go with the Wilson

[@francisshouse7533]

I have been playing epic forged, these give you more spin same distance,

[@mikepugh2806]

As a 63 Y/O 16-handicap, I recognize I need some help getting the ball higher. I am getting fit for the Mizuno JPX923 HL irons tomorrow. I already carry 3 & 4 hybrids, and may consider a 5H later, but am planning on 5-GW on the HL’s. The Calloway’s are too pricey.

[@mikepugh2806]

Fitting update... Great session at my local golf shop today. Good news - I still have adequate swing speed for steel regular shafts! I ended up ordering the TM Stealth (not HD) irons over Mizuno JPX HM & HL, Ping G430, T300 and Paradym. The Callaway's did perform well, but priced too much $$$ over the Stealth irons. Pleasantly surprised, and can't wait to get the TM's on the course.

[@paulaskey1508]

I tried the Paradym against the Taylormade Stealth HD in a fitting, for me as a slower swing speed senior golfer the Stealth HD were far better, and easier to hit.

[@paulcooper8521]

Tried them at the range and very nice Andy 😊 but lot of money !!!!!

[@chrislewis7]

Callaway have always made great game improvement irons. I had the X16s and then many years later I moved to the original Rogue irons. As soon as I saw these I thought they look great they must be Callaways.

[@robchisholm2697]

Great looking premium irons and justifiably not cheap. I think we would all gladly slot them in the bag but as a fellow week end warrior they aren't in the budget unless your giving away a set😊

[@jonathanhughes5876]

These are nice. However the price for an iron set that people are led to believe they will grow out of is a definite issue. Accepting what makes you confident, rather than what looks good to your mates is the biggest factor for SGI. I'm 38, fit and relatively athletic. I've played Wishon 560MC and PXG 0211 Gen 2 as my last two irons sets. Moving to Wilson LaunchPad 2 this year. Accepting I don't have the time to commit to practice means I accept having a bag full of chunky funky bad boys. If the game becomes more fun, and I laugh more with my mates then I am definitely winning!

[@randybowen40]

At 63 y/o now I’ve lost most of my ego! My bag now consist of Ping G425 hybrids 4 through 7 and Ping I230 8 through UW, Vokey S56 and M60 wedges

[@giomusah2155]

I smash an 8 iron 250 yards with these.

[@charlieboylol527]

Great video buddy 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

[@aviatoraw]

A bit too much offset for me. But it does look nice.

[@jonathandrummel6075]

I want them soooooooooooooo bad but I cant afford to spend the money. Hopefully i can get a second hand set some tome down the line :(

[@coasterchum8289]

I know the argument of " yes they're strong lofted but they launch higher. But visually when I see less loft I tend to get scoopy with it... have a hard time trusting it and end up wearing out the bottom grooves of the club.

[@shaunphilipson4502]

How are the lessons going, are you improving, do you feel comfortable with the changes

[@Tubs0147]

Couldn't be dealing with that thick top line. Can't beat titleist Ap3 or t200 for beautiful looking game improvement irons with a players iron look.

[@andrewminton-cudworth8767]

They sound very nice

[@juiceqc7716]

Nice gilet fella.

[@robertshields6214]

I can't get over the look of the paradym irons. They just look cheap to me. I did just upgrade from the maverick heavenwood to the paradym and easily picked up 10 yrds

[@imakeuc1]

They will be perfect in a few years when the price comes down to affordable for me.

[@azcharlie2009]

How much do the manufacturers pay you to stump for their clubs? They're way too expensive for most golfers.

[@kevinmaxted1768]

really love the look of these but we'll out of my budget

[@kevinmaxted1768]

never knew u had a Facebook channel mate just liked it

[@kevinmaxted1768]

and just a quick one has anyone won the stealth 2 driver yet

[@WymanMcgahee]

Tired of all the critics who think they are pros, why are you even watching about these kind of clubs?

[@waynedouglas256]

Remind me of the old callaway x14/16/18s ..very over rated and priced...at least with the old x14 etc you got 3i to sandwedge ..most makes are 5/6 to wedge these days but it isn't reflected in the price. I get that R&D goes into a driver to part dictate the price ( still over priced) but now you are getting smaller sets of irons and its not reflected in the price...don't get me started on the price of putters 300-400!!!! For a CNC milled head with a shaft 😮 the only golf merchandise that is getting cheaper is clothing

[@waynedouglas256]

Taylormade stealth irons are a much better-looking club and cheaper. But ppl will buy the Callaways just for bragging rights of the cost...same as too many players use " lower handicap" clubs and would be better off using forgiving clubs, why make the game hard for yourself or think that spending a 1k plus on irons will buy you a lower handicap

[@home4ya]

ideal iron? player dependent on their launch needs, no ideal iron for everyone. for me? i have lower end flight and misses are left so I need height and spin, of course feel/sound nice, but for more birdies I need an iron with smallest N/S dispersion, I dont care what # is on the bottom, ego left me a long time ago! Ive seen other reviewers note 10% ish of hot shots with those, did you?

[@cwugrad396]

too much shiny chrome for me

[@themaven1276]

I’ll stick with my G425’s

[@paulstephenson5815]

All these reviews have become the same and always ridiculously positive and all clubs are brilliant. I’ve tried these are they feel absolutely nothing like a forged iron and like the P790’s with filling the head with foam to dull the sound isn’t fooling anyone. These felt very hard off the face as pretty much all hollow bodied irons do to different degrees. I’ll stick with my 921 forged

[@WymanMcgahee]

They aren't trying to fool anyone

[@Jimmy-2-Times]

Looks like a lot of offset

[@Phil222G]

Way to expensive for the average golfer my wife would divorce me if i spent this much on a set of clubs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Far to expensive and for the average golfers unless you swing the right your wasting money,even if you do probably won't see much difference

[@RolandDobbins]

I enjoy & appreciate your videos - but you should be aware that isn’t what ‘begging the question’ actually means. ;>

[@legend9018]

Sorry mate but I have to disagree. The Paradym irons look absolutely terrible. From the cheap badging and design on the back to their awful bulbous bulky heads. I thought for sure you were talking about the Zx4 irons until I saw that little “V” on the grip. Obviously my opinions are my own but callaway haven’t made a good iron since the CF16s. Apex line is decent but their max game improvement lines have been awful (epic, gbb, mavrk, etc).

[@davidgoodwin101]

Don't like chrome...or the look. Mizuno 923 alot better.

[@ddeboy002]

top line way too fat for my liking.
