I have a sneaking suspicion that you've seen the new Wilson driver. I'm hoping to finally hit it when it comes out. But really surprised Mizuno isn't sending driver heads with the irons. 

Was hoping a little more would come from the shield. Pulling for a good overall MW showing.  But sounds like it may be more of the same. 

Funny thing on the Wilson.  I have hit it bsck in November.  I made a comment on FB about drivers and said I didn’t think the Wilson was anything special.   Of course some guy came along and said.  Funny you can say that when it’s not even out and you couldn’t have hit it. 
 

i told him I have actually seen and hit it. Any more questions?   He didn’t reply.  Ha

But to me it was not very forgiving.  I do recall the shaft that was in the only one he had was a bit stiff for me.   I did have one of our guys who has a 110 mph swing hit it.  And he was hitting it decently.  But he didn’t love it either.   So we’ll see

Rob have you hit any in your list yet? 

No. I don’t have any of them  in hand yet.  Will be hitting the Paradym this week and possibly Stealth.  
 

But the real test will come when I get them  on course. Which depending on our weather might be a bit.  

When I did this last time 2 years ago. I didn’t get to start playing until late April due to my COVID recovery.   I’ll get to start earlier this year. Just hope the weather cooperates

I'd still try it;  it is a good driver.  I think any driver could fit in someones bag.  Makes me wonder if it is a little to heavy for me which is why I was leaving the face open.   That could potentially be fixable with a different grip or non stock shaft.

So @Golfspy_CG2 I have my driver shootout, you have yours prompted by @GolfSpy_BOS I think it's only fair he does one himself and that @Golfspy_TCBputs his TSR up against the new releases and reports back!

That's what I was thinking! Callaway may have the multiverse Paradym Version out by then 😉

Kidding of course, but seems like a long ways away.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, well I use the word speed loosely, but I'm starting to swing my Skilz weighted club every day for a few minutes.   I went out and hit some irons this afternoon the HM HL and The T200, and I wasn't disgusted at my swign speed, it's pretty much where it left off in the fall, I fully expected it to drop 2 to 3 mph at least.    So maybe there is hope that I can build on a higher speed, vs worrying about getting back to where I was..ha

LOL if only some people knew that they were talking to a man with top secret golf clearance.  Did you get a chance to hit both models?

That's a little more encouraging.  Either way, it is on my 2023 to-do list.  I may have to figure out a way to venture to Charlotte to get my hands on one.  Our part of the state isn't known for having the greatest OEM coverage especially for lefty sticks.  Consequently, I sit in these threads living a vicarious life of a club hoe.

Well the shootout kicked off officially today.  Well kind of officially, I at least have something to report on of the 2023 models.   The Callaway Paradym.  Of the 2023 models it is the first one I've hit and been fit for.   And full disclosure, it might be the only one I get trulyfit for, the others I likely will order based on my past experience of shafts and recent LM data.   So that will be one of the fun/interesting things about the Shootout, you'll not only hear about the heads, but several different shafts along the way on how they work for ME..of course as always YMMV

So to start, I had a min fitting or demo with the Callaway rep on Thursday, got to hit both the Standard and X heads, didn't even try the Triple D, as it's not anywhere near my level.   Tried 2 or 3 stock shafts he had on hand, nothing too exotic.  

I'm going to copy and paste from a recap I sent to a buddy who was very interested to hear how it went.   But before I do, and I'll updat the original post with this.  For those who don't know my swing stats, I'll recap here briefly.

I'm 63 and have multiple physical limitations and limits on ability 🙂  that keep my swing speed and numbers firmly in the slow to moderate at best aeas.  My usual or daily driving distance hasn't exceeded 220 yards much at all when in season   Often times it's closer to 210 to 215.   My swing speed on Foresight is around 83 to 84 and on Trackman arond 78 to79.   That is nromal and I've seen it played out many times oerr the past years.    A good ball speed for me is low 120s with the average maybe 117 to 119, and occassionaly will see a 126 or 127.   I'm going to do some off season work, I really am, and may goal is to see if I can get that average or normal up to 128 event 130!    We shall see.   

As mentioned I'm not long, but I'm fairly straight, I play a slight fade that hardly ever turns into a slice, yet the next time I hit an intentional draw, will be the first.  I often say I couldn't drawi if you gave me a pencil on the tee.  My Smash Factor during a lot of practice seessions is usually in the 144 to 146 range.   

OK...Onto this weeks Paradym resutls.  i'm going to post below, so this post doesn't become 10 pages long

Rob thank you for taking on this endeavor for the sake of us readers.  Great start to the test!  Did you decide between the Ascent and Hzrdus?

Yep, I probably edited the last post as you asked that, I listed it at the bottom  

Final reuslts for the order from Kevin are  Standard Head 9* Lofted up 1 degree, and weight set to Draw  Aldila Ascent 40g R Flex at 46"   He thinks the extra 1/2 will help bring the contact a bit more off the toe to center and maybe even add a tad more speed.   Said if it doesn't work or I don't like it, they can cut it down.

@Golfspy_CG2 thanks for sharing your experience.  You're swing speed is roughly in the same range as mine, so it's encouraging to see representation on the "lower side" of the swing speed range.

Getting back to your original post that started this tread, I'm thinking of writing a new self-help book for those who get caught in the annual club purchase frenzy induced by the latest and greatest marketing.   I'm going to pattern the book based on Progressive Insurance's Dr. Rick, where golfers are turn into club buying fanatics every January.

The words are almost writing themselves.....Let's all take one more walk-through Golf Galaxy and we're not going to buy anything.  No, we're NOT going to walk into that hitting bay and hit the latest and greatest!  You hit your current driver great.   No, you don't have to take every brochure from all the manufacturers (most of the classs doesn't even know what the numbers mean).   Don't interrupt the customer in the putting practice green telling him/her why they are missing left.  Do you really need that twenty third putter or driver do you!?  

I may have to pitch the idea to Golf Club Anonymous.

I found it interesting that the Aldila shaft allowed you to lower your spin when compared to the Project X Hzrdus, but that also reinforces the idea of being fit into a proper set-up which suits each unique individuals swing.

 

Great write-up CG2, especially all the added detailed information! 👍

Yeah. That surprised us as well.  Kevin sai the 50g R is a new model for them. So I’m guessing it must have a softer tip than the typical HZRDUS.    I  had the Aldila 40g in my TSi1ast year and it had too much spin with that head.  So maybe this is just a good combo for me. 
 

We also hit the Temsei Blue 55g and had decent speed with that as well but spin was over 3200 on each shot which killed the distance. 
 

so yes you are correct. Shows fittings don’t always reveal what you think they will.

Just an exciting tidbit.  I will be getting the PING G430 in hand by the end of the week.  It will be the first one in hand to get some extensive testing.   Well at least on the LM, and perhaps on course if we can get some decent weather days.

This is like a trailer at the end of a tv show: “On next week’s episode…” Well played. Way to keep us on the hook!

If Rob had $20 for every time he heard that, he'd have broke even!

That is what funds his golf habit.

There are simply too many good options. 

I do really hope an underdog comes out to won't, but think Paradym will take it.

Really Really good,  As solid as any driver I've hit, not harsh at all.  And the sound while in my mnd not quite as perfect as the TSR, it was a very pleasing sound.

Even?   I'd have such a slush fund built, I wouldnt' know what to do with it....But I'm sure I'd find something.

Or at a movie, when the  credits are done and everyone is leaving, but you hang around just in case, and they have some hilarious outtakes, makes you fell like you got over on everyone else...ha

I kind of feel the same, I would love to see Mizuno or Srixon come out well.  I would love to hit these, but there are no places around me that carry either one.
