GolfWRX Launch Report: 2023 Callaway Paradym fairway woods

Published

on

What you need to know: As mentioned in the Paradym driver article, an almost completely carbon fiber body is the “paradigm shift” of Callaway’s Paradym driver (360° Carbon Chassis). With a primarily carbon sole, Callaway engineers designed the Paradym fairway woods in that spirit of weight savings and redistribution. A.I. Designed Jailbreak Batwing is also a star of the show. Three models: Paradym, Paradym X (draw-biased), Paradym Triple Diamond (compact, lowest-spinning, lowest-launching). 

2023 Callaway Paradym fairway woods: What’s new, key technology

  • Jailbreak with Batwing Technology: Pushed to the perimeter of the club to stiffen the body of Paradym woods, while still allowing the face to flex for high ball speeds.
  • Forged Carbon sole: Weight savings and weight distribution for higher MOI and ball speeds.
  • Tungsten Speed Cartridge: 23 grams of high-density tungsten allows engineers to push the center of gravity low and forward
  • A.I. Designed High-Strength Face Cup: A unique high-strength C300 maraging steel face cup and A.I. designed face pattern optimized for each model.

Additional model details

Paradym: Paradym fits the largest segment of the fitting bell curve. High launch, neutral ball flight.

Paradym X: Draw-biased, high-launching, high-MOI fairway wood. Forged Carbon toe patch shifts weight to the heel.

Paradym Triple Diamond: Featuring a deeper face, Paradym Triple Diamond is the most compact Paradym fairway wood. Lower-launching, lower-spinning design.

What Callaway says

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

“We’ve had a really successful year with Rogue (Fairway Woods) and we’re really proud of those products. We wanted to capture a lot of the characteristics that we believe made Rogue so successful – easy to launch, versatile, forgiving and long – but also bring in elements of the Paradym driver to take these to the next level. We’ve incorporated the Forged Carbon onto the sole and we’ve added some more adjustability.”

“The Forged Carbon takes on a little bit different construction on the fairway wood. It’s not the full 360° Chassis but it does replace almost an entire steel sole which is significantly lighter. This allows us to take weight of the middle of the clubhead where it’s not very effective for performance and reposition it more to the perimeter. So it’s a massive savings of weight and gives us some real distinct performance advantages.”

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
