Today from the Forums: “Finally! I found my anti-left hybrid!”

Published

on

Today from the Forums we delve into a thread from ‘Mahamilto’ who has landed on an anti-left hybrid after plenty of searching. Per Mahamilto, he took a chance on Callaway’s “Apex with Catalyst HYB80 6.5, 2* flat” and amongst other things he is now hitting dead straight “225-235 missiles”. Along with the club, Mahamilto credits the decision to go two degrees flat for the anti-left discovery, and our members have been having their say.

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.

  • eRod v1.0: “Dang it. I loved my Apex, but my miss was a big left, so I got rid of it. Wish I knew you could get it flat when I ordered it last year. I loved the look of it at address, and it hit rockets. Oh well, I’m very happy with the G410 in flat setting. It’s been amazing for me so far.”
  • VictorValiant: “Callaway Mavrik Pro is anti-left hook. I loved the 4h so much I had to get a 3h. Love these hybrids.”
  • elwhippy: “My Ping 400 is anti-left. 17 degrees and easy to hit a controlled fade with. Also have a 22 degree 410. Flat lie, down to 21 and stiff shaft. Can be moved both ways. Hit the new Callaway Pro hybrid last month…as workable as an iron.”
  • Golf64: “When a customer came in complaining of the ‘hooks’ with a hybrid, the 3 I handed them were the Apex, G410, Titleist. After that, I would recommend a high lofted fairway. 5, 7, 9W are making a come back. After demoing one myself, I am a believer! Reviews are popping up on youtube on this subject.”

Callaway launches Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max driver

Published

on

Give me a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond driver but make it Max. Callaway engineers have taken the tour staple triple diamond head and boosted its size from 450 to 460cc’s. “By doing that we’ve created a more forgiving head while still keeping the same great shape that’s beloved on tour,” said Callaway’s advanced R&D manager Nick Yontz. The driver offers more spin than Triple Diamond standard — and thus more workability and forgiveness.

In contrast to the standard Triple Diamond, which features 14 and two-gram weights. The Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max is equipped with 10-gram and four-gram interchangeable weights, which contributes to greater overall stability. According to Callaway, the driver plays more neutral than the neutral-to-fade-bias Triple Diamond.

Comparison of the Triple Diamond and Triple Diamond Max faces.

Discussing testing on tour, Nick Yontz, advanced R&D manager, said:

“We first brought this head out for Tour testing in November last year. Players would step up and we had it matched up to their gamer driver specs. They would swing, and we saw consistently good ball flights – very stable. It was the word ‘stable’ that continued to be used by players.”

“They would continue to split the fairway and what that caused them to do was to start swinging faster. They had this excitement that, ‘This thing doesn’t go offline. I can keep swinging harder and harder and it maintains that straight flight’”

“We were seeing players. that would have small gains in ball speed from just the driver head alone, but then the swing speed would increase the more and more swings they made. By the end of it, they really saw meaningful gains in ball speed and distance.”

As a refresher on the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke driver family — which now includes Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Paradym Ai Smoke Max D, Paradym Smoke Max Fast, Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond, and Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max — check out our launch piece.
