Great read and interesting concept.  

Great read and information. 

Thanks Jason for doing this write-up. I know you are a little bias having taken part in it, but what a cool experience for all.
Was nice to see all this in one recap as it was a busy thread to day the least.

Great read and information. 

Paradym TD is easily the best driver I've had as well. 
Nice writeup here!

I really liked the XR16 as well. I had that for a good while as my gamer and it was just a good sleak driver that worked well. Pretty simple too. While I did find good gains with Epic, Rogue and Epic Flash were certainly not for me. Mavrik was solid and I did like it overall. same with Epic Max LS. That was nice despite the shape not being my favorite. I wanted to love Rogue Max LS and tried it. The feel was great, but there wasn't the leap over the previous versions. 
Paradym was a hit from the start for me. Can't wait to get the new shaft in it as well! 

I've been playing a Callaway XR16 for many years now.  Tried the Epic, the Rogue, and Mavrik and none of them did any better than my XR16, so I stuck with it.  Just recently tried the Paradym and Paradym triple diamond and they were both noticeably better than my XR16.. Way more forgiving and longer off the face.  The triple diamond was consitently 4 to 5 mph off the face compared to my XR16.. and when I really tagged one it was crazy long.

I have 4-6 in the ZX5's and 7-PW in ZX7's.
 

I would imagine you can mix any of the clubs you want to as long as the gaps with Loft are what you want.  
I have the Srixon ZX5's and ZX7's and love the combo.  

Great read and showing the importance of matching clubs for the purpose.  I did the same with my set and it has built a confidence in my game with all of the irons in my bag.

Great read and like seeing multiple drivers played before settling in. 
 

I fully agree that the Callaway Paradym TD is a great driver. I put it in the bag this past summer. Replaced my beloved PXG 0311 Gen 6. I also tried the Ping low spin and the Titleist TSR 3. The Callaway TD is still the best of the group for me.

I am very excited to see how this will stack up against the next gen of Callaway driver. I find it hard to think they can better it by a ton, but the small increments will be interesting. 

It’s no secret that I like to tinker with and swap out clubs, but Drivers especially. I spent the better part of a decade gaming a Cobra Amp Cell with the gray/white color scheme. Last summer, it became apparent that it’s time had come, so I replaced it with a litany of options starting with a RAD Speed, then Mizuno ST-Z 220, Callaway Rogue ST TD LS, Ping G425, back to the TD LS, a Rogue ST Max LS, Titleist TSR 3, a Srixon ZX5 LS before settling in with the 10.5 degree Paradym TD that is currently my gamer. 
 
Fun fact: I tried the Paradym TD twice, both times swinging it into screens with trackman, and didn’t like what I was seeing. It was swinging it on an outdoor range, where I could get the numbers but also see actual ball flight and the shape of the shots I was hitting that sealed the deal. 
 
I echo Jamie’s comments above and would also add, that the most appealing aspect of this driver is the relative ease I find the center of it. And regardless of how well I hit it, it always feels like it has more to give. The Paradym TD is just a wonderful driver and one that I highly recommend everyone try (PAY ATTENTION @Jnoble89)

I can hang with even the best club ho’s out there for sure.  I started the winter sim league with a Ping G430 LST(before public release), a Srixon ZX5 LS, then moved to the Mizuno ST-Z 230. The mizuno started  in the bag when actual golf started for me in Iowa before moving on to the Cobra LTDX 5.5* LD head. The Cobra was easily the longest when hit in the screws.   From there I tested a few different head/shaft combos at my local golf shop before settling on the Paradym TD 8*. 
 
The Paradym TD 8* head has been in the bag since the end of May(longest I have had a driver in the bag since probably 2010).  It has been the most consistent driver in terms of spin/launch/distance. For me it wasn’t the longest or lowest spinning head I hit when trying them but the window for both stayed the tightest. 
I started with the Vanquish 5s for a good chunk of the year and it was great. Went back to the OG Ventus Blue 5R(couldn’t test this at first) and it was even better.  Also gave the Hzrdus Gen 4 Limited Edition ion finish 5.5 to end the year. So far this head performs with whatever shaft I throw in it which says a ton about the head in my eyes. 

The shape of the Paradym TD is just perfect to my eye.  Slightly smaller profile but not too small.  Ever so slightly triangular to the toe side to give it a small pear shape.  Deep faced which is a must for me as my misses tend to be vertical on the face.  
As Jamie mentioned I’m not a huge fan of the color navy so if the Smoke AI can match the shape and numbers of the Paradym, I will most likely move on to that. I doubt it will beat the numbers though as the PTD has been amazing. It has helped me break 70 this year and put together a run of scores that I have never had before. 

Great Review.  This will most likely be the LM I choose when it's time to pick one up.

I know you had posted this before in a thread, but truly think it's a great article and worth a read for all. What a cool experience from an up and coming companies that looks to make a difference in the industry.
I'll also link it soon, but we had a great community call with them which is 100% worth a listen. Available here on the forum and on Spotify for those that follow us.

Question for ya Jason, how easy is the setup?  I tend to play very early morning with nobody on the course until I’m almost done and was thinking about the possibility of setting it up on every shot for a round or 2. You know if I should happen to end up with one lol

Set up could not be easier, Mark. You open the FS Golf app, prep your session in the range mode, and press and hold the button on the unit until the blue lights flash. It connects in seconds, and that is not an exaggeration. There is also no initial set up where you need to sync it to your phone's bluetooth, which I think is really nice. Pairs automatically with the app. I used mine on the range today after a baseline session with my deWiz, and it took longer to place it on the ground than it did to sync to the app once I had it on. No need to turn it off shot to shot, either. It'll take a moment to sync once you put it on the ground, and it may turn off if it's idle for too long but shot to shot as far as picking it up, setting it down and waiting for the audible "ready" from the app, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. 

I don't believe it is. I'm not sure if it was the 1 in 99 or normal sale from a couple years ago.
I'm fortunate to have 2 🙂
While still likely a little ways away there is work being done on merch side at HQ. As soon as we have details we can share we will!

I believe Mizuno was a pioneer when it comes to combo sets... that was so long ago.
Just think Titleist, Srixon and Mizzy do it in such a seamless way... 

I have 4-6 in the ZX5's and 7-PW in ZX7's.
