I’m sure the performance is good but the colorway is very strange

[jt2gt]

Hmm...don't mind it.  Like the no chevron crown.  Is it in someone's bag for the tourney?

[BagofToast]

Dang that looks weird  

[blakehall]

This looks like there might be multiple colors available...

 

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed the all black one will at least have a matte option through Callaway Customs.

[TheMoneyShot]

Very interesting look here.  Almost looks like a blue camo swirl color on the bottom.

Has been "approved" but has been on the approved list yet so player's are testing it but won't be playing it in the tournament.

That forged carbon is sick!! Keep your hands out of my wallet Callaway. Not kicking the TSR out but it looks good 

[radiman]

Oh there we go.  Waiting for the fairways though...

[mat562]

What a hideously gaudy design.

[Scott0000]

Oh.  Looks very much like it came out of the JDM section of this website.  Hope it grows on me bud damn, doesn't look very Callaway-ish. 

[jwhite86]

Personally, I think it looks great.  Will definitely look into it

I like it. The bluish finish is nice as well.

 

That's the forged carbon look, very different to the lattice look of weaved carbon ala SIM etc.

 

Hope it performs as well as it looks...sure beats a Ping G430 with it's turb and "late to the party" carbon top and the "late to the party" neon green trimming.

 

Jus sayin'

[Wardonation]

It looks like Cally made the original SIM...

Ha..ha... but it doesn't have the aluminum bar though. Close.

[OhioGolfDude]

Me LIKEY!!

[tbowles411]

I like it.

[DFS PFD]

Yikes. Shape is nice, but the color scheme on the sole is terrible. " yOu dON't SeE thE bOtTom oF tHe cLUb aT aDdrEss"

I can’t tell if that’s an intentional swirl or finger prints.

 

I think I’m set on driver, but I am quite interested to see and test the fairways.

[MMB1500]

Is it possible to forge carbon? 

[the bishop]

My takeaway is that where the carbon material meets the metal components the joining and seams look a little rough.  Like they're not even part of a first article run.  OTHER THAN THAT it looks ok.  The "forged carbon" material has a little bit of chipboard appearance to it which isn't too bad I guess.  A bit different looking but I'm sure people will get used to it.

Yeah, could be finger prints.  Definitely an interesting looking club from Cally.  Can’t wait to hear more about it. 

[MaineMariner]

This should be very good at preventing sky marks, which is nice.

 

Not that I need the help, or anything. Not me.

[Bskib]

I'll stick with Titleist or Ping Drivers thanks. Taylormade had the grill driver last year and Callaway has the Lava Lamp driver this year. 

[JourneyToBreak80]

Interesting. I like the top, genuinely don't really care what the bottom looks like. Although I don't think the forged carbon fiber looks bad. It reminds me of marbled carbon fiber I've seen in other uses. The swirl is intentional from my understanding. 

 

Forged carbon fiber is a type of carbon fiber material composed of small pieces of carbon fiber composite material that are pressed into shape as the resin sets, versus woven or layered. 

 

The face also reminds me of the TSI/TSR face.

I was going to say the same thing.  The face does look like the TSR which is a great thing!

Callaway Paradym?    So, this is their 20 cent driver?

[Golfingfanatic]

Looks a bit like a fake version of the stealth sans carbon face 

[ASN21]

Awful name, terrible colorway and design. Otherwise it is good 🤣

[golfware]

This driver looks and feels amazing!!  Omg!!  Can’t wait until it’s released!!  It looks so badass in real life, and the feel is just so muted. It’s the shizzle to me…. The Paradigm will be a hit.
