Which CALLAWAY PARADYM Driver Do I Choose?

[@markushayes]

💎 💎 💎 results on tour are impressive so far.

[@vincekarumba545]

I would choose that Callaway Paradym X with the Draw Bias!!!

[@systemoptimizer3542]

I was fit into the Triple Diamond. I hit both the standard and TD during mt fitting, and liked them both. Like you I saw a pretty low spin with the 14g forward and 2 g in the back. Swapping the two I didn't feel like I saw much of a change to trajectory. According to Callaway and other websites swapping the 14g and 2g account for a 250 rpm spin change. Changing the loft by a degree accounts for 450-500 rpm spin change and 1* higher launch. I'm currently playing the 9* turned up to 10* and 14g forward 2g back. I also have an 8g weight I experimented with. Planning to try some other shafts with it in the future. (Currently using a shaft I used in an old Epic Subzero and Epic Max LS). The Paradym TD is definitely a lower spinning head than the other two mentioned.

[@CWTRNG]

Awesome tests, thanks. Maybe a LS head to head comparison one day? Aero LS, Zrixon LS, Triple Diamond, Wilson Carbon etc.

[@ryankeppler6590]

Got fit Saturday. I hit Ping, Aerojet, TSR, and Callaway. They all felt amazing, but I hit the Callaway the best. IMO it was the best feel and dispersion.. Standard Paradym Model.. it’s just amazing! Enjoy my friends!

[@LeprechaunGinger]

Looks like the best for 2023! I am due a new driver in 2030

[@peterpark1013]

I just got fit yesterday for the Ping 430 max and LST. Asked the rep what else should I consider. He said Callaway and he was right. For some reason, it just hits a lot better and consistent for me compared to the ping. If you didn't consider the Paradym, you probably want to give it a couple swing. Gonna try out different shafts and picking it up next week :).

[@ryankeppler6590]

@@peterpark1013 I agree! I did go with the Callaway. It just felt better imo. Took little bit of time going thru the correct shaft for me, but got it all worked out! Excited to see when it comes in! Enjoy it!

[@sethhall7554]

Going to get fitted Wednesday. I feel like the standard Paradym is what im going to get. We'll see.

[@Jlittle523]

I got fitted for the Triple Diamond in 8 degree head, Tensei 1k Pro Orange X stiff, and Pure Midsize grip. I was gaming a PXG Gen 5 XF 9 degree with stiff Hzrdus Smoke RDX shaft. Also ended up adding Paradym 3 wood and hybrid.

[@craigchappen8723]

Had a fitting appointment yesterday. Currently play the Callaway 2022 Rogue Max. Never got fitted for it. Just bought it on a whim because it felt good. The pro first baselined my Callaway Rogue data. Then he had me try the Paradym, the new Titliest and Ping G430. Each with a couple different shafts. To my surprise none of these 2023 drivers beat my Callaway Rogue data. With the Rogue, I was in the goldilocks region for each data point, like smash factor, spin, flight carry, total carry, dispersion, ball speed. He recommended at this time it would be silly to spend 600 bucks on a new driver that was not even matching what I currently play. The closest to my Rogue was the Titliest and the worst was the Paradym.

[@MichaelNewtonGolf]

Well done to the fitter for suggesting to stay put 👏

[@firstnamelastname6038]

The Wilson driver is looking very solid this year!

[@CWTRNG]

Yeah, looking forward to try this one

[@alanrutland4424]

Thanks for that Mike. Been waiting for you to test these. Interesting the triple diamond results for you. Perhaps the higher loft would actually help. I am at a Callaway fitting day on Saturday- for the 3 and 5 wood but hope to sneak in a go with the drivers. 😊.

[@macponting6295]

Bought the Stz-220 off the rack last year but could not get along with it and went and got fitted today and ended up with the regular paradym. Picked up 47 yards and dropped 1500rpm and much straighter. Last time I ever buy anything off the rack

[@sharkhark]

Love all your videos. My only new years wish is more videos out on the course. I've learned a long time ago sim is one thing but on the course is completely different. Would be great to see more outside on course videos. Thx for your work

[@robbotronomer]

Pre ordered the paradym standard head and the 3 wood. I just don't like the head covers that's all. Bar that they are just stunning and just impress me

[@mikepxg6406]

I know what you mean a bit embarrassing.

[@joons69]

+/- 156 on spin numbers with the normal paradym is impressive with some offcentre hits included. Looks like a really stable driver...

[@DDDDD-cb9wb]

My handicap is around 10~15 and I tried both Paradym Standard and Paradym TD. I know the Paradym standard is more forgiven than TD, So I thought standard will fit better for me and assumed TD is for more skilled players. But when I tried standard, I felt like the tail wanted to rotate faster than the face and they wanted to move separately on their own (Whenever I have longer tail with heavier weight in the back, it was like that and I felt unstable in the past) I guess my rotation of club head was quicker than I thought and the slices happened when I tried to slow down the rotation speed. - Of course :( So I tried TD to see how it differs and the moment I hit the ball, I knew it was for me. It was more forgiven than I expected and I could drive it over 280 with miss shots, and over 300 with the right hit. It went 10~15 yards more than standard Paradym for me and the most of all, I could swing much easier and I felt stable. (The same thing with my previous driver Sim2 vs sim2 max, I was more comfortable swinging with Sim2 than Sim2 max) So I assume that there is different fit for everyone despite of personal skill level. :)

[@bengoulding9723]

I've just been fitted into the triple diamond but with the 14g weight at the back and in the hzrdus silver shaft. Wow it felt amazon and my dispersion you could trow a towel over.

[@BLKMeSa]

I have the Epic Speed TD LS and hit it OK. My strike is pretty consistent (high toe), but it can sometimes drop out of the air if I'm not swinging that fast that day. Demoed the Paradym standard and G430 max a couple times. The Paradym standard is plenty low spin (2100 - 2300) and so was the G430 max. Both were very forgiving, the 430 wanted to turn over much more easily than the Paradym which was slightly more straight to fade biased. I'm a big Ping fan, but the Paradym standard was straighter for me and I could hit small, controlled draws with it vs. the G430 max. I have no desire to try the LST or the Paradym TD. They are just unplayable spin-wise unless you loft up or really launch it high.

[@ianpierre7020]

Standard all day!!! The forgiveness of the X and distance of the TD

[@jasonmaestre1355]

great review michael, Will be testing the Paradym on Saturday along with the stealth 2, and Cobra Aerojet. I'm curious Michael if you use a x-stiff shaft??? Our swing speeds are the basically the same . I'm usually around 109-112 . I have recently switched to x-stiff in my driver and have improved my dispersion. It has almost eliminated my right miss being a left handed golfer. I'm now thinking of trying x-stiff in my irons, your thoughts would be greatly app.reciated.

[@supersoup5509]

Excellent review.

[@simonminch8423]

I got fit and go the x version, not much between the standard and the x but the off center hits were not as bad with the x. Where I play in Germany we have 6 driving holes OoB hard right so if it goes a little left that's fine with me

[@jetro7349]

Watching this right after the Mizuno review leads me to think Mizuno made a genius mistake offering a shorter driver.

[@codycook3382]

A driver definitely doesn't need to be made of carbon to sound good. My tsr3 is the best sounding driver I have ever hit , and it is made completely out of titanium! I have been playing golf since the mid 90's so I have hit a lot of drivers.

[@paulgolfer]

Michael, I would like to ask you one question . Q, in all your years playing testing etc WHAT IN YOUR UN BIAS OPINION IS THE BEST DRIVER OF ALL OF THEM . mine is the callaway rogue BUT I DO NOT HAVE ONE , I Have the MAVRIK SUB ZERO, set +1 D . although cheaper £190 when I bought it its brilliant. I tried the pros driver on the range same settings what a great driver looks great too but to Rich for me . paul

[@lkae4]

Tried them all and Paradym TD 8 degree was the best. I tested with a Left Dash ball and was getting 1800 to 2000 spin.

[@Brooks_Cupcake]

That’s not even realistic spin. Not playable at all. Enjoy the launch monitor results, and that’s where it ends

[@lkae4]

@@Brooks_Cupcake Lol, what? Why do you say that's not realistic?

[@Brooks_Cupcake]

@@lkae4 most of, if not all PGA players fit into the 2300-2600 window for on-course spin, as there’s an element of control that negates the extra 10-15 yards you get a 2K or less. These are also the same guys that are 175-185mph ball speed.

[@lkae4]

@@Brooks_Cupcake I wasn't expecting a naggy, effeminate answer. I've extremely disappointed. I'm muting you. Take care.

[@Brooks_Cupcake]

@@lkae4 no idea what that means other than I told you exactly what Trackman states and what is known if you’ve seen or been around an actual pga tour pro getting fit. Best of luck

[@jasondevine5779]

Michael, can you film a comparison between triple diamond and tsr 4?

[@jnordwell]

Hello I have a question. I was recently fitted into the triple 💎💎💎 but I want to try the new TSR driver but which one. I am not a tour pro but can slap it around for sure.. I just spin the crap out of a lot of drives..

[@steve827]

See isn’t it weird that the TD for me span around 2200 on average and misses went up to about 2600 but I was averaging 123 club head and ball speed was 178 average It’s the pick of the year for me , the 430 lst and surprisingly stealth 2

[@vincestyles1030]

Is this worth upgrading from my epic flash?

[@jesusortiz9100]

I wish Callaway made a Paradym driver that offered the weight track on the back of the head with a 3 or 5 gram weight on the front. Otherwise, the real distance remains with the triple diamond and us mortals struggle with that club.

[@jeffe6540]

Easy fix...get the std paradym and then add a piece or two of lead tape to the front bottom of head. I had done this with my g400 before i switched to the actual LST head.

[@paulgolfer]

Does it MATTER. What I mean is . According to you shop pros sales people you get fitted for one yes Q ,so if it's b, then you shaft might change , your setting up on it may change also . SO I ASK AGAIN DOES IT MATTER ? NOW IF YOUR DOING IT ON LOOKS THATS DIFFERENT. PAUL

[@paulgolfer]

Hi one more , nice videos BUT HOW IN THESE TIMES OF HARDSHIP CAN THEY MILK US BY PRICE . I worked it out £600 driver would 48 weeks to recoup that money based on 14 holes where you hit driver , I say 14 holes because there is a par 4 dogleg on the course I play s.i. 18 so it's not a driver. paul

[@wessims3412]

Very nice all of them , but the price is ridiculous and anyone who thinks they are a bargain is the “rich” I’ll use an Epic Max LS, similar distance and maybe even better for less than 1/2 the price. Sorry … but golf manufacturers are getting greedy this year and for virtually no big improvements in distance or dispersion for an average golfer, unless you test via robot…. They are soaking us horribly. In 3 years when price is almost 1/2 I’ll maybe try one for sport. But many drivers from the last 3-5 years will go just as far, or further than all of these here.

[@johnanderson1761]

I still look at your Big Bertha B21 driver review and literally nothing new touches it.

[@billryan8707]

Should have lofted x down to 8 degree would have been interesting

[@noodles_GA]

I’ll choose the one they are still selling in 3 years when I can afford it 😂

[@billwallenstein3387]

You owe it to your game to always try all the latest equipment to fine tune your game.

[@mickyd2673]

Shafts all the same?

[@DaveCYFF]

Question -define real quick speed. Is this over 100 mph or much higher 110+?

[@MichaelNewtonGolf]

I would say over 100 it’s worth looking at TD subject to the players delivery etc

[@Economical_Overeem]

What’s your favorite driver of 2023 so far?

[@coreyvanular]

Normal paradym all day

[@richardskinner5050]

I hit the Paradym drivers today. I though they looked dreadful. Especially the triple diamond. It looks like a 2 wood. I was unimpressed with the aesthetics and the feel off the face. After watching all of the exciting YT videos I was seriously underwhelmed. I am going to get fit for a TSR 2/3. Classic, elegant appearance and for a Pure Titanium driver it feels surprisingly good. All of the 2023 releases have been over designed and over hyped.

[@wnfakind9197]

None , Mizuno ST230 or Aerojet 🙊

[@mikepxg6406]

None.

[@savvysymbiont]

Ewwwww! Lots of fit and finish problems.

[@fluxfotos22]

Pap rip off clubs for poser's

[@brandonmackay9878]

1. TSR 2. Stealth plus 2 3. Paradym

[@Ryan-kc5pl]

How workable is the standard model?

[@raginasianinvasion]

I still don’t see an upgrade to Rogue ST but that’s just my findings. GCQuad gave me identical numbers with both drivers
