Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: Callaway Paradym Drivers

Sign me up.  This might be the driver that finally puts my G400 out to pasture

I've hit the Paradym at the testing bay, but I'd like to put it through it's paces on the golf course.  Thats where the rubber meets the road and the golf shoe meets the goose poop.

I do live in Washington State...

Oh, man!  The more I look at that club the prettier it gets!  Love the quilted blue finish.

I'm in New Jersey and it's the same thing over here at most county courses. 

I haven't had the chance to test out any Callaway Drivers since I had a Mavrik in the bag. Have to say the Paradym looks very nice

Wonder whether Callaway Paradym can beat the Ping G425 that I am currently using?

I used PING drivers since the late 70's up until I got the Titleist TSi2 in 2018 or thereabouts.  Loved them.  Had the laminated persimmon Ping in my bag until the metals came out, switched to the G and then the G30 drivers.  Great drivers, but loud.  Especially in covered driving range bays.  Had to wear ear plugs, literally.

Hit the 425 when it came out and just didn't feel as confident in my swing with it, nor as powerful as the Titleist I was using by then.  Hit the 430 and found it to be much quieter, but not much feedback, and certainly not any improvement in numbers over the 425.  I hit the TSr2 that I now game much better, longer [10 yards], and confidently.  I feel I can put a more athletic swing on the ball.  The Ping just feels like a blob of metal on the end of a fishing pole to me.  I don't mean to demean the club as it is a superb weapon in the bag, but as they say, "to each their own".

Would love to try the Paradym X, I currently use the Rogue Max D and it’s a game changer. Forgiving and workable for fades and draws. 

I'm looking forward to upgrade to the Callaway PTD 

I have been a Callaway woods player for several years!  Started with the original Rogue and have played several of the other drivers since then.  Currently playing the Rogue ST LS and have hit the Paradym X.   Would love to game that one next! 

I've been eyeing this driver since it came out earlier this year. I was looking at the Callaway Rogue ST Max driver after demoing it. I can't wait to see how this one differs from my current Callaway Mavrik and the Callaway Paradym. This is the point of my game where I struggle the most. I've even considered hitting my Rogue ST Heaven Wood off the tee. My golf coach/instructor has told me that if I were able to hit my driver more consistently my handicap would drop by 10-12 strokes. I can't wait to see what this new technology has in store for a higher handicapper like myself.

When this test popped up and all the supported claims of faster ball speeds, tighter dispersion, used by one of the top golfers in the world in strokes gained off the tee this season, I went ahead and demoed the Paradym standard model.  

Can't wait for this announcement and hoping I'm lucky enough to be selected and going in for fitting soon.

@Yeager If you're still looking for a Rogue ST Max Driver, I have a head for sale. It's pretty much brand new, I used it for a couple range sessions to compare to my triple diamond and liked the TD better. 

Thank you to all for registering! We will have our testers announced Tuesday May 23rd!

Try going a round without pulling out the driver. Maybe even just taking it out. That’ll drop it 10 strokes immediately. I used just my driving iron recently and did 2 over on 9 holes, my best ever! I’m still working on my driver (also went to a 44.75in length), but am really limiting when/if I even bring it out.  But I’m working hard on it off the course. Having so much more fun and finally in the low 80s consistently. My goal is to break 80 this year for the 1st time…and do it without my driver

I’m excited as hell to hear about this! Thanks again for

tje chance and good luck yall!

Can't wait to see if I was picked! Good Luck!

7000 plus sign-ups? WOW! Good luck to the admin deciding who should test out these clubs, I know they are quite popular among the members at my club this year!

These drivers are do gorgeous! I hope I am chosen as a tester.  I'd love to see how it compares to my PXG now that I figured my kinks out and have a pactice plan in place with my localnpro!

Thanks again Callaway for the awesome opportunity for our members! Best of luck to all those that applied, I'll be following the reviews closely!

I play Callaway in all my clubs except my Putter, 60 wedge, and Driver, so I'd like to see how I hit the Paradym.  I wasn't a fan of the Mavrik surprisingly.

@cptnkirkdog Yeah, I have certainly thought about that but I want to improve on my driver. I just feel like the more reps I get with it the better it will be for me. I may go a couple of rounds without it to see how my score changes. I just enjoy hitting it even though it kills my score some rounds.
