Paradym info

I got my Triple Diamond yesterday, played it today, 8* with a green dot down to 6*.  I am a high spin player, pretty quick SS around 120, this thing bombs the ball.  Extremely low spin.  I have never duck hooked a ball until I played with this driver, I can lose it left which I am okay with because I've never been able to do that.  My miss has always been right.  But I hit a fad that stays low spin around 2000, the head is extremely quick and even though it can dive out left it is forgiving at the same time.  

 

Easy to hit the fade, not too much movement. 

 

Exactly what I am looking for, I have a double driver setup so I have another I can swing easy if needed, this is just to go after it.

 

This driver is long, extremely long.  I haven't hit on trackman yet apart from the fitting, I would hit 175BS with the MAX LS, I imagine this one is similar in BS maybe a tad quicker, but without a doubt it is lower spin.  If you can hit up on it 5+, this gets in the air and just doesn't stop. 

Only one trackman sesh during "fitting" and one day on the course, so not too much data yet.

EDIT: @jus4kiks Thanks for the feedback, you sound a lot like me expect I won't be able to play outside for another 2-3 months.

 

Did you test the TSR3 before went with the Paradym TD? Right now it's between those two heads for me. I played the TSi3 for the last two seasons and seems like such a small jump to go to the TSR3 (vs my gamer, the TSR3 out performs it). The Paradym was awesome in my fitting when I didn't have my best swing, so it makes me want to put it in the bag. I play a fade off the tee as well, and I'm worried about a low hooky one with how low spin it is. However, I will say it's tough to look at address. I don't care for the two tone, two finish crown.

I only briefly tested the TS3, I had some great hits with it, but I didn't test any premium shafts with it like I did the Triple D or the G430 LST.  

 

The TD on the course was just really good..  I will say I did duck one left on a hole I am notoriously bad at driving on and don't hit driver..  I had 2 of the best drives I've had on my home course on the first round with it.  

Ping G430LST was automatic in terms of dispersion, but I just couldn't give up the distance.  I have 2 drivers in the bag and may put the LST in too.. I am sick tho. 

I hope your pick works out, both r great drivers but imo the TD is the best of 2023 hands down.

I received my Paradym driver yesterday and just took it out on the range, then played 5 holes.  I found it to be a very stable driver.  My misses with this driver had less curvature than they typically do with other drivers I have used in the past.  I can't really comment on length at this point.  Overall, I was impressed.  I tried both the Ventus TR Blue and the Ventus TR Red with it on the range before walking a few holes, and I found that I had better overall dispersion with the TR Red.  The only negative was the sound.  Much louder than I was expecting based on the initial reviews you see on Youtube.  More testing to come.

My coach is a Callaway pro and she had me hit the TD at 8 degrees on the Trackman yesterday and was getting great numbers with a less than ideal shaft. I like to play fade and this setup was working really well for me. Should be ordering one here shortly.

I put the TD in play this morning and it felt very light, ordered it at 46" (my go to length) and it came with 10 & 2 weights with the Kali white. Going to plug in the UB and and see what happens. It did still SW at D3-D4 as stock so not really all that light.

I just got my Paradym TD Dr and 3w on Monday after a fitting a few weeks ago. I am not a super high swing speed guy with a playing cruising speed of around 102-103. My previous gamer was a PXG Gen 5 setup in both clubs that I hit quite well. OMG the difference. The ball is coming off so much faster and the spin numbers are so much better for me. The 3w I am carrying a measureable 10 yds further off the ground which is huge for me and really extends my range to go for some longer holes. The driver is also a longer carry for me by close to 10 yds but the roll after it hits the ground is much more. I don't know if this is all spin or angle of descent or a combination, but it is working. The PXG is slightly more forgiving but not enough to give up the yardage.

got my TD yesterday; I always play the epic max LS and avoid the TD.  All I can say is 10-15 yards longer and workability is amazing.  In fact, I'm half a club to 1 full club shorter into my approach shots.  Hit 13 GIR yesterday, and couldn't tell if I loss any distance off the mishits.  It's that forgiving than previous offerings from callaway TD.  And the FEEL is amazing.

Got a TD driver and 5 wood. 5 wood is set at 17* and hit it as far as my as my stealth plus 3 wood. The driver, like some have mentioned above, doesn't move a much. My Stealth moved much more than this one. Really pleased with it. Very low spinning and it jumps off the face. Buddy just got a 10.5* Paradym. He's hitting it in places I've never seen him hit it before.

They likely did that for swingweight control at 46 inches. I ordered mine with the HZRDUS Silver 5.5 50g, which is a target shaft for the standard Paradym, not the TD. Mine came with 14 and 8!! Likely as the grip was 60 grams (MCC Mid), and the 50g shaft. Swingweight was D4. Also, don't forget, Cally's 46" is about 1/4-1/2" shorter than TM's 46", it's just the way they measure. I went on to Golfworks, and ordered a bunch of weights, 2, 4, 10, 12, etc, to mix and match with my Kai'Li 60R and my HZRDUS Silver 5.5 50g, as sometimes I have a regular grip 50, others mid 60, and sometimes Jumbomax Ultralite XSmall 40-45. Assuming you have a scale to weigh your head removed? PS -- Golfworks did not have PD specific weights, but bought the Rogue/Maverik ones, they fit fine, just not the bronze color.
