GolfWRX Launch Report: 2023 Callaway Paradym drivers

Published

on

What you need to know: An almost completely carbon fiber body is the “paradigm shift” of Callaway’s Paradym driver (360° Carbon Chassis). Eliminating titanium from the body of the club allowed engineers to distribute weight in a manner that “breaks the tradeoff between incredible distance and exceptional forgiveness,” according to the company. There are three models in the family: Paradym (designed for the broadest group of golfers), Paradym X (draw biased), Paradym Triple Diamond (compact, lowest spinning, lowest launching, fade biased).

2023 Callaway Paradym drivers: What’s new, key technology

  • Industry-First 360° Carbon Chassis: Allows for “unprecedented weight redistribution for maximized distance.” The combination of the Triaxial Carbon Crown and Forged Carbon Sole are 45 percent lighter than a titanium chassis allowing weight to be pushed forward (promoting ball speed) and back (higher MOI) in the clubhead.
  • New Jailbreak A.I.: The latest iteration of A.I. designed Jailbreak is 33-percent lighter and provides both horizontal and torsional stability.
  • New A.I Designed Face: Focused on downrange dispersion, Paradym features an improved A.I. designed face.
  • Face Cup and Forged Titanium Face: The first Callaway driver to feature Face Cup technology, which is joined with a titanium face for improved energy transfer to the golf ball.

Additional model details

Paradym: With high MOI and adjustable perimeter weighting, Paradym fits the largest segment of the fitting bell curve. High launch, low spin, neutral ball flight.

Paradym X: Draw-biased, high-launching, high-MOI driver. Larger profile. Most forgiving driver in the lineup.

Paradym Triple Diamond: Low spin, low launch. Slightly smaller (450 cc) profile). Paradym is designed for the better player who is looking to work the ball. Neutral bias.

What Callaway says

Evan Gibbs, Callaway’s R&D Woods Director, gave this overview of the Paradym technology:

“The 360° Carbon Chassis really refers to the center portion of the driver that’s made completely of carbon composite. Two proprietary materials to Callaway, on the top we have a Triaxial Carbon Crown, it’s a continuous carbon fiber that’s woven and creates a very thin lightweight structure. And then in the bottom, we have a Forged Carbon which consists of bundles of chopped fibers that are forged into shape.

“This gives us an advantage over traditional composites and allows us to mold it into some complex geometries and gives a lot better control of the thickness of the part. So we can strategically thicken and thin it out where it needs to be in order to get the right strength and stiffness. It’s a big advantage because it takes out all the metal in the middle portion of the clubhead.

“There’s no titanium or aluminum reinforcements, this is 100% carbon composite bonded together, and it’s about 44% lighter than a Titanium chassis, so that gives us a ton of discretionary weight that we can take out of the middle of the clubhead and move into different areas to enhance performance. A lot of it is in the back of the clubhead to give some adjustability and higher MOI, and some of it shifted to the front to enhance the ball speed technologies.”

    The sole reminds me of a house ball at a bowling establishment.

    Why is Callaway morphing into TaylorMade?

    Old jailbreak technology out, new jailbreak technology in.

    These aren’t $600 for all models are they? I heard $725 street price with any of the actually good shafts. Hope I am wrong. $600 is insane as-is.

    New Tech is not necessarily better tech. Let’s have somebody (Callaway should do this) give us a comparison of distance and dispersion with this $600 extravagance compared to last year’s model. Impress me with performance not tech.

    I’m super excited that Callaway is really pushing the boundaries of what is possible, and doing exactly what Taylormade did last year.

WITB Time Machine: Paul Casey’s winning WITB, 2019 Valspar Championship

Published

on

At the 2019 Valspar Championship, Englishman Paul Casey took the trophy at the Copperhead Course for the second year in a row. On a difficult Sunday, Casey’s 1-over 72 was good enough for a one-stroke victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Kokrak as Dustin Johnson faltered.

Check out Casey’s clubs from five years ago below.

Driver: TaylorMade M4 (10.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX (tipped 1 inch)

3-wood: TaylorMade M1 (15 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80 TX Limited (tipped 1.75 inches)

Irons: Mizuno MP-25 (3), Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro (4), Mizuno MP-5 (5-PW)
Shafts: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 TX

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM7 (52-08F, 56-10S), Vokey Proto (60)
Shaft: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 X

Putter: Scotty Cameron Circle T 350-SSS
Grip: Scotty Cameron Matador

Grips: Golf Pride ZGrip Cord Midsize

Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1

Mizuno’s Senior Club Engineer, Chris Voshall told us Casey’s somewhat surprising setup in his long irons is simply the product of Casey hitting the windows he wants to with the particular clubs in question.

“It’s all based on the height of the ball flight,” Voshall said. The MP-25 3-iron was more penetrating and better for him off the tee, so he kept it in there.”
