NM01 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 1 hour ago, edingc said: Couldn't help myself. I booked a fitting for this weekend to hit the Paradym line. I was texting my coach, who's a Callaway staffer, and he saw noticeable (2-3 MPH) ball speed gains with the Paradym Triple Diamond over his Rogue ST equivalent. I'm also liking the "more accuracy down range" story that Callaway is pushing. Booked at the local shop, not Club Champion. For $80 I figured it was worth my time just to see what worked best. He thinks I should be in the Triple Diamond, my brain tells me standard Paradym, but I have questions on loft regardless. I've lowered my AoA a little bit since last year (closer to zero now than +4) trying to get some more consistency, but now my 9 degree head launches a little low and if my Mevo+ is to be believed, I hit low spin knuckleballs sometimes. I won't lie. Unless I'm totally underwhelmed by the numbers I will probably be placing an order Sunday evening. But drivers are maxed out they say . Always impressive to see 2-3 mph gain in ball speed. That’s significant gain in distance as long as spin and launch don’t change much from current setup cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, edingc and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
