I agree. JW on TXGs video said very clearly there’s only three models and all the pros will be either Paradym or Paradym TD. I guess it’s time I put less stock in what he says. This isnt the first time, but it’s pretty blatant. 

I can't imagine what these companies do to drivers that the pros play to get them comfortable, whether it's completely different weighting that's available, hot melt, making a completely different club head that sits more open/closed etc....I wonder what they're tweaking on Rahm's club after yesterday's driving. Now I don't expect them to roll out that kinda red carpet treatment for average Joe's, but let's not kid ourselves or believe the carny barkers/hype men that these pro's are always playing the same club head that average folks are paying $700 for.... This isn't unique to Callaway to be fair.

What's so funny?  if you read my post, then you know I've palyed golf with Matt.  So I'll just go with that.   Carry on.

I mean to be fair he is constantly testing new shafts and clubs so id expect a fair amount of really bad shots. I know he is close to scratch though. Wether thats good in your book or not… 🤷‍♂️

This morning I had one of those automatic days with the rogue td, I could have closed my eyes and swung as hard as possible and hit the fairway (and I tried that).

Now my long drive is in the 240 range so there is that, but even I find it hard to believe I will gain anything except a new club with the Para TD.

Not that I won't do it but I may actually try to test it with the GD AD UB shaft before blind buying, if it does not offer anything then the cash will go to FW's and wedges.

FYI - there will be a Fuji Ventus TR without Velocore for 2023.

I was hoping that wasn’t true.  Hopefully no one gets duped.

Over/under on how many made for tr threads in the next 8 months?  I can imagine at least 3 or 4.

I'd pay good money to see a blind test between Velocore/Non-Velocore and TR/non-TR Ventus shafts.

Just saw Rahm's post round interview and  Rahm was asked what he'd like to do better tomorrow. He said he wants to be better off the tee and only hit 5 fairways. Lol...thought it was funny. 

Did anyone notice what he shot, -9 pretty darn good as I know he only hit 5 fairways as thats because he drove it to far, went right thru the fairway Lol! I saw 1 of his drives and it was 411 yards. He didn't seem to disappointed. 
Plus just heard during the final round how his driver was his best club in the bag, 🤔now that’s funny . Time for people to place their order in for one as I think you by now know the results as too who won, and who won the 2nd tournament of the year and what driver was being used. Great start for Callaway.

Has anyone seen a fitting card with all the toys at PGA SS yet? or would it be after preorder day?

Funny how Callaway states that pros won’t be getting one off driver models like in the past and it’s really just the 3 heads and then I see today on IG LOL!

 

 

Based off the USGA conforming site there are 4 models. 4th being the S head that will be tour only until they release the stock like last year potentially

 

Pretty obvious JR and X are using version 2 with the giant 2 sharpied on the heel. Certainly not like the 6 different tour heads we saw last year (for now at least)

A "made for" "Tour reserve" is the actual paradigm shift 😱

Sometimes I feel they are all losing their minds.  "how can we dig further in their pockets and make it seem legit"

You realize the video was shot in early December 2022. At the time there more than likely was only 3 models of Paradym driver heads.

That was a great test.  But not a blind test like suggested was it? He knew which shaft he was hitting.

It could be q featured shaft that's also an upcharge...maybe they're going to send batches to retail rather than waiting on custom orders...

 

It appears this will be a non-velocore "made for" shaft.

Is this the TXG velocore vs non-velocore video... or are you referring to another video?

That must be it.  I thought it was stock red vs velocore red but thats probably just in my mind because thats what I was considering (upgrading to velocore red from stock TM).  I remember they mention if you were to tip the stock version slightly it would be harder to tell them apart.

Reviews are crazy good for this one. Is this real deal? Or did callaway break the bank?. Lol

Hopefully they will be easier to get this time around…

TC heads are tour truck only unless Callaway decides to do another TA serial release for the USA market.

 

I'm sure some will end up on CPO by next November, either way.

Yeah, I’m very intrigued in this one for sure.

 

Looking forward to seeing the Paradym vs Rogue ST head-to-head testing to see if there are truly improvements or not. The Rogue ST has been reaaaaally good for me and a lot of other people so far!
