Not the best photo but first impressions don't do much for me. Hope they look better in person. 

 

 

 

I think you will be surprised how good they look at address. The cavity does them a disservice.

That is all that matters to me anyway.  🙂

So true!  And if we could see some specs...

[Jim53]

By release time I will be ready to give them a try, the Rouge ST pros are just sitting in a box waiting to be traded in.

 

But with the price of new Drivers and FW's now that set might go towards them and I just keep playing the EPON's or go nuts and order some Miura 502's from Will.

St pros are amazing why not play them?

I did for most of the year, the EPON's are just better for me at the moment.

I've been waiting on this info as well.  I've got 2019 Apex Pro's and looking to replace irons and figured we'd see spy shots by now.

Thanks for all the info.  I'm not a fan.  In advertising 101, Rule NO. 1 was the name simple and memorable.  They missed on both!  

Are you kidding everyone on here already has the name permanently seared in their memory and it’s as simple as can be. One word with unique spelling.

Many complained about how dumb epic was.

Then it dominated for them and they continued it for 2 more product lines 

 

Their marketing teams’ batting average is pretty dang high despite taking some big risks

Apex iron line will be Fall 23

Talk about an epic miss🤦

[ber2226]

More forgiving rogue pro 

similar to the i230 different color scheme. Ball speed is solid 

[Landy]

Still no specs??

[ChipNRun]

It started with the Game of Thrones series, which premiered on HBO in April 2011. This triggered a surge in odd spellings, such as Brienne of Tarth, Daenerys Targaryen and Joffrey Baratheon.

 

 Golfdom joined in 2012 with TM leading the parade. TaylorMade launched the Rocketballz clubs, referred to as RBZ for the linguistically challenged. The follow-up was the RocketBladez.

 

Callaway hit full stride as Thrones was wrapping up, and House of Dragons flew into town. Callaway picked up the banner with Mavrik, and now Para\Dym line.

 

It's all an example of life (AKA golf) imitating art.

Agreed, and it’s all about search engine optimization. Just like “mavrik” which returns all Callaway results whereas “maverick” is all Tom Cruise results.

4 iron 20 degrees. PW is 42. There is a 46 AW and a 51 degree wedge as part of the set. You should be able to figure out the rest from there.

Not on the 23 pricing that was just released. 

[JDSPGA]

The normal Paradym irons are going to be a hit. Look super clean at address. They will be pricey but there is a market for them. I may order a 4 iron!(Although it may have a 5 stamped on it lol)

Thank you!

Any news on shaft options for these irons? 

[ShakeyT]

Shaft options will be Callaway inhouse designs.

 

Cntrcty - Basic steel shaft meant to fit everyone

Unprcdntd - Never seen before graphite composition made for tour type players

This.  

 

They are very clean looking, and the feel for someone like me who's used to cast SGI shovels was amazing.

 

I never understood the whole "the to line is too thick" thing before, more I do. 😁

The graphite iron shafts I was fitted to were from a major shaft OEM, and will be a "standard" option in the release.

Cntrcty (centricity) & Unprcdntd (unprecedented) are dumb corporate buzzwords just like Paradym.

Totally flew over my head. 😁

[puttingfordough]

Goalie, since you've seen them up close, is it a brushed satin type finish? Chrome? 

[WristySwing]

I am not sure if it has been discussed, but I was talking with someone I work with who has seen them and hit them in person.  He said they are very close to the Epic and Epic Pro irons that were released in 2017/2018 in size, shape, feel, and cost.  For those asking about shaft options, if you scroll up that blurry brochure shot shows Elevate, HZRDUS, and Ascent as the steel/graphite options.  I imagine Elevate/Ascent are the stock and the HZRDUS is going to be the Tour Graphite option.  Meh.

Well this is disheartening...

[Cwing]

Is there a new movie on the horizon with a form of “Paradym” in the title?

 

Rogue released around the time of Rogue One.

If not for shutdowns, etc. the Mavrik release was to be in line with Top Gun Maverick.
