Paradym Triple Diamond.......Whoa momma

[dlovage]

The reason I haven’t even tried other drivers was because I fell in love with the Stealth feel. It’s almost like a little “soft crunch” that feels so satisfying to hit. How does the Paradym compare? Asking because I’ve since switched to Paradym fairways which are in my opinion, perfect.

Depending how old you are, if you've ever hit the old school TM 510TP, the TD is as close to this as I've ever hit. IMO, the 510TP was the best feeling driver I've ever hit. TD is lightyears more forgiving than the TP though.

TD feels much better than the Stealth 

[MagicMan79]

RIP to my Paradym #1 head. Face started caving on the toe. I generally hit the ball 4-6mm high toe

 

Bought new in Feb, decent guess of 450-500 balls on this head. 95% quality balls in the sim / on course. Only range balls it sees are warming up before the round.

 

Kinda sucks. Didn’t survive as long as OG Sim, which is a surprise.

 

CHS 122-130, depending on the day, and if speed training. Think I got this head to 187mph a few times

Is the Paradym TD a good choice for center-toe 

center-high hits?

 

play driver at 44" with a 80 gm X shaft 

 

Thanks

Toe strikes are my typical miss and the Paradym TD is ok.  It produces the typical right to left knuckle ball, HOWEVER, it's not nearly as bad as the OG Stealth.  I believe that the TD was specifically designed to be more forgiving on high strikes.

Paradym feels really good on center strikes.  I do prefer the soft "mushy" feel of the Stealth though.  With that being said, the Paradym is on the softer side for feel compared to other Ti face drivers.  I believe that it's because of the forged Ti chassis.  Heel and toe strikes felt awful for the Stealth but feel a lot better with the Paradym.

Nothing wrong with voicing our opinions here.  That's what this forum is for in case you haven't noticed.

Not sure why you care? This forum is filled with people who love to tinker and are always chasing the next "best" thing. If you don't like it, don't buy it? And furthermore - don't post something of no value where there are 5 pages full of people who are quite pleased with this driver?

Wow with that speed you are a sure candidate for a tour issue "thicker face" model. Sucks it caved but how can any oem design for extremes like that, from my 95ish SS and your 130 ss. 

Something is going to get left on the table at one end or the other.

 

Its great Callaway is doing the right thing as they almost always do.

[Ereim]

Career low 67 today. 13/14 fairways, only one missed was a driveable par 4, ended up in a green side bunker. 💎 💎 💎 will be in the bag for the foreseeable future.

Oh I totally get it and agree. Part of the trade-off. Not targeting Callaway , it’s a great driver. If they keep warrantying them, then I’m good 👍🏼

What im not allowed to express my displeasure of $600 drivers that are way overpriced for what theyre worth? its threads like these that drive the "belief" any of these new drivers are actually worth the price and what they claim they do. but yes ill leave if im not allowed to express my opinions 

[Hookasaurus Rex]

Today sealed it for me.  Paradym Triple Diamond is definitely competing for favorite driver ever status alongside my old hotmelted M2.  Hit 10 of 12 fairways today in 15-20 mph winds.  It holds its line so well for me, it just goes straight.  I don’t know if it’s the weight distribution, but I always seem to hit it center and slightly high on the face- I was wearing that spot out today.  The amazing sound and feel just make it that much better.

Man I’m wild with this thing.  Probably just me of course, but I’m better with the Aerojet LS.

[craz-e]

I am struggling to find a winner between the triple 💎 and G430 LST.

I do have a Callaway fitting booked this Friday to try some different weight set up’s s and shafts. Looking forward to getting dialed in

Same here. I picked up a TSR2 and for me it’s the best of both worlds. Has the length of the triple 💎 and the accuracy of the LST.

I think 187mph voids the warranty 😏

I've got a 9° 💎💎💎 Ventus TR blue 6x coming next week, putting it up against my gamer stealth + Ventus black 7x.

 

I went blue TR and 6x, as reports seem to be the paradym spins less and I'm close to lower limit in my current setup.

 

I've loved stealth+ for the most part, but I'm seeing some face wear and still have a soft spot for my mavrik sz...

Literally going with the exact same set up. If the Ventus Blute TR 6X doesn’t work for you id love to talk trades. 
 

these numbers with this club are making me the devote TM guy think dirty dirty thoughts about Callaway. I am incredibly steep and have never spun the ball under 2850rpm. This club might be magic

I'm a TM fan boy as well, but the Paradym TD just blew me away.  Feel, sound, numbers, and dispersion all good.  I still have the SIM ti and Rescue 11 in the bag though and don't have any plans to replace them anytime soon. 

[Jim53]

I stretched out the UB 5s to play at 46" and it worked out fine, may have to play with the weights a bit to get it back down to D2 or so. Can't say I saw much difference distance wise, but with the knee brace on and just trying get it in the fairway I did not expect much. 

 

As it is on my scale it is at D5, I can't say it really feels any different than the 6s at 46" but I guess the weight of two nickels is really not that big a deal at least to me.  

[Sean124]

I’ve played 5 rounds with this driver. I’m a combined -2 and that includes 2 AGA tournament rounds. 
 

 

[puresurfr]

im still on the fence about the 3D, one thing I did that helped me tremendously was to use a silver sharpie and paint scoring lines as well as a alignment dot on my driver, I cant tell the face angle without it, Driver is super hot and the wind doesnt touch it, not quite idiot proof like the 430 Max but man its good.  The Paradym regular is darn good too !  Put some hot melt forward in the Paradym and we may have a competition 

[Grape]

Anyone know the headweight or willing to weigh their Triple Diamond with the standard 14 and 2 weights? I ordered mine shorter and trying to see if Callaway added anything to the head. They said they would, but don’t have a swingweight scale to confirm. Thanks!

Then don’t buy it. 

[Sean124]

This was on the used rack at PGA Superstore for $279 and had clearly never hit a ball. I had been considering going back to a 5 wood instead of hybrid anyway.
 

[puresurfr]

I definitely need to either loft up my 9* 3D or go back to the normal 9*, I cant seem to tame the triple diamond 9*

 

Surprisingly I have not had one offer to trade for this great club, I guess everybody who loves this club has one already. LOL

Raw weight of the head with standard weights can vary but I've seen them weigh out at 191-196 grams.
