Tour Callaway Paradym driver - 2022 QBE Shootout

[jimb6golf]

Am I missing something or does this look like the TM SIM drivers?  It has the wedge on the bottom leading to a counterweight in similar design fashion.  Plus the top crown looks very similar as well.

I think it looks a lot like a Sim n thats part of its appeal to me as thats the best driver I’ve had. Normally not the biggest Callaway fan but I like this departure from their normal a little.  I like the two tone crown n color combo. The sole is a little different as previously stated but I can get over a lot of things quickly if it performs. I haven’t played a Callaway since the FT-5 Tour. Looking forward to trying this out more than any Cally release in a long time.

Could be a great driver, but callaway seems to have taken over from Taylormade with the stupid names. Paradym is up with rocketballz for me.

The real question is how many non-retail versions will there be of this line?

Why do product names almost always have to be misspelled?

Thats just it, that's the Paradyme!  🧐

In all honesty though, i think it has to do with online search engines and trademarks

This will be the reason, it sounds stupid however.

Almost guaranteed to be a half dozen of them. LS models since thats not retail, maybe some T models and single diamonds, etc.

I'd go for blue squares or even green circles...

Yet a ton of us flock to HZRDUS and don’t blink an eye. Just turn the shaft so I don’t see the graphics. Kind of like the bottom of a driver?🙃

I don't think any marketing gurus ever won a spelling bee.

No marketing gurus will ever please a WRX crowd in name, color, looks or material. This audience is way tougher than any professional critique or polling group 😉

 

 

Happy New Year guys 👍

Speaking of naming, did anyone else get the Callaway email regarding next generation names?

Yes, I took the survey. Paradym starting to sound better now.

The Callaway Paradym TD T fairway wood heads from the USGA Conforming List.

I tinker with shafts way too much for a bonded fwy.  I thought someone said that the TD version would be adjustable, maybe they will release both versions?

This is just the T model, which is tour only. Pros prefer bonded.

I hope they release a TC serial adjustable X model 3 wood that can replace my Mavrik Max 3 wood adjustable model.

I hope the adapter is the epic flash one. I'm ready to test that 16.5 set to 15.5 right now.

Yeah, was hoping they would release a retail version that looks like these just with adjustability.

I guess it’s only the regular version with adjustability and not the 💎💎💎T🤦

[UnderPar18]

Ordered a Rogue ST LS with a new shaft. I’m sure the Paradym will perform but I love when Callaway goes bonded for fairway woods. I usually don’t tinker with shafts though.  Fairway woods are also the one club I feel like you can play prior generations and not notice much of a difference.

The T model is only for players who hit way down on the ball and have very high SS with fairways and thats an extremely small subset of golfers. Not much a reason for it to be adjustable unfortunately.

I'm-2 to -3 aoa with 3w and 100-103 club head speed. Is the t model geared toward me?

Sorry, but I need the sole weights as well as the hosel adapter.
