Just joined as “Hugh Jaas”. Can’t remember the last time I played. Might take a while to get familiar with it.

1) I bought my current driver (without demoing it) because MyGolfSpy/TrueGolfFit recommended it to me last March: (forgiveness needed:) 2) I’m in the “Driver-is-the-most-important-club-in-the-bag” camp. I purchased the driver as recommended. It’s certainly better than my Ping G425 Max. I’m 56, 12 hdcp, swing speed 110+. I always get asked to play scrambles for my driving distance. Misses are pushes or pulls. I think a more forgiving head (see clubface photo) and/or stiffer shaft could straighten and steady things out. It certainly can’t be my swing. Lol. Would like to fit driver to my swing vs change swing habits for my driver. More importantly, my 19yo son (former baseball player) started playing in September and is completely hooked - already shooting in the mid 90s. I can’t let him catch up to me so quickly. However, between his equipment, lessons, and green fees, there’s very little left for improving my own game. In order to stay a step ahead of him, I need to hit more fairways. I either need a new head, a new shaft, or…lessons (or all 3). I can’t afford all 3. However…testing this Paradym would still allow me to get some lessons if in fact this head and/or these shafts don’t improve my consistency as advertised: “It’s [their] best combination of distance, forgiveness, and adjustability.” My Rogue ST driver was just released a year earlier. Can the Paradym be that much better? 3) My longest drives this year have been 300-315yds, high launch, low spin, slight draw. However, my typical drives average 265 and are low-mid launch, boring trajectory. It’s not easy to shape shots with my low-spin Rogue. I’m also in San Diego and we play year round.

I bought myself a Blast analyzer on Amazon for $120. I took it to the local golf shop and spent 2 hours testing just about every putter. I've been hitting a blade and closing the face too much. Turns out I hit a face-balanced mallet much straighter - a lot less dispersion and more even tempo. This will give you a good gauge without having to change your stroke. I ended up purchasing a Spider X from them. The Blast will continue to help you with your putting stroke and other clubs as well. Well worth it.
