2024 CALLAWAY PARADYM Ai SMOKE DRIVERS 

Noted!

I appreciate that!

Thanks 👍

Nice numbers 💪

@@MichaelNewtonGolfthank you sir 👊🏻

If you want to see stock shaft data, get fitted for driver with YOUR swing. Michael has chosen the shaft of his choice fitted to his swing tempo, speed, feel and swingweight. That’s creating the most ideal circumstances for the driver head performance and it removes the variable of different oem shaft offerings. The only change I’d personally like to see in his reviews is to demonstrate performance on mishits. Show the club performance on center strikes from ball speed, launch angle and spin but then same exact data on strikes 7-10mm off center at all 4 quadrants of face. This better demonstrates the true level of forgiveness for each clubhead.

Need to do that video 👍

Agree

Facts I’ll stick with my TSR3 and SIM2 max 😏

I did mention it 🤷‍♂️ although didn’t have it to hit as Callaway never sent me one

That conclusion is based on what? While I do not know how Michael hit the 23 Paradym, I can clearly see these 24 drivers are exceptional. I hit the 23 Paradym TD & Max during fitting. The numbers were very good on center strikes within 3mm of center. On misses outside that sweet spot neither was great. The TD in particularly was really bad low heel quadrant. My personal most common miss is high toe. At that quadrant I would see launch and spin of 11-11.5/1900-2100. On center strikes I’d see 12.5/2400 launch and spin. There was very little ball speed difference, both around 162. The lower launch and lower spin generally resulted in higher dispersion and 8-10 yds less carry. That was the good news. A low toe quadrant would see reduced ball speed and spin 2800-3000 resulting in 20-25 yd less carry. Low heel was even higher spin and ball speeds in the 154-155 range. This is why I play the TSR3. Similar ball speeds on center strikes but MUCH better ball speeds, launch and spin on off-center strikes, regardless of quadrant. Fast forward to the AI Smoke Paradym, the promise is same performance on center strikes but much improved performance on off center. While I personally would have chosen to test this claim if it were my video, Michael did hit a few high toe misses and ball speed was still in the 162 range, spin stayed above 2000 and launch did not change much. The weakest part of most modern drivers is the low heel strike which Michael did not demonstrate these new drivers performance but the mishits he did demonstrate appear vastly improved performance versus the 23 Paradym. Driver performance is rarely about what happens on center strikes, it’s about how consistent the performance is on misses. If manufacturers can limit that performance drop, then they have a winner, especially for vast majority of golfers not Tiger. Seems like Callaway definitely made a leap forward in competing with TSR3

There is NEVER significant performance increases. It’s about small incremental tweaks and this one they’re touting the consistency and minimizing off center strikes. Looks wise I like it much better but that’s personal.

Thinking of buying one. Why do you say this?

Lol It's far more forgiving
