    Sophie...you are one of the most honest reviewer on RUclips and I can more readily relate to your club head speed versus all the Guys on RUclips swinging drivers at 108 to 120 mph and irons in the mid 90mph...Thanks for your hard work and honesty!

    Sophie, excellent analysis, and I love the fact that you explain in detail what the data means in real on-course performance metrics (a/k/a real-world results)! I have been playing the Callaway Paradym irons for 7 weeks (20 rounds plus five 9-holers), and I am getting excellent performance from them. I suspect that my clubhead speed is about 3 to 5 MPH greater than yours, as I get just about the same distance from my Paradym 7-iron as you got with that Paradym 6-iron (my 6-iron goes about 167 yards and my 5-iron a bit more than 180 (185+ when I pure it). I get sufficient spin from the Paradym irons at my 84-86 MPH iron speed to keep the ball in the air and I also get a peak height of 115-120 feet from these irons. Overall, these Paradyms are just about perfect for my game.

    Went in fully expecting to buy the P790, but preferred both the Paradym and T200 to the P790. Properly fitted, I’ve ordered the Paradym. Just felt explosive and accurate. Found them equally easy to shape. Slightly less spin on the Paradym, but with its descent angle it’s going to stop. I also got about 10 yards more with the Paradym (obviously due to the stronger loft, but will club down if necessary). The biggest difference for me was having the right shaft and length, though. Dynamic Gold 105, stiff, 1” long, 2 degrees upright, midsized grips. Whatever you get, get a fitting. You absolutely can’t tell what’s going to work for you by watching a review! I’d have been more than happy with the P790, but think I’ll personally enjoy using the Paradym more. (6 handicap)

    I'm with you on the shelf appeal, whomever is in charge of this at Callaway needs to be reassigned. Epic, Rouge, Maverick and now Paradigm, not one of them looks good. It's a shame, I love my ugly epic driver now that I replaced the headcover. Call me Callaway, I can fix this issue.

    Thanks Sophie great review. Just brought the T400’s partly due to your review of them. Love the power , height and spin they give me. I agree looks bring the paradigm down a bit. My T400 looks traditional a bit chunky but similar to a Ping whatever some reviewers claim. The Paradigm look like the clubs that are produced for “ladies” . I Don’t like the distinction you hit your clubs faster than I do and why assume you would like a look different to me ? Maybe Calloway are saying coloured backs are unisex so let’s give them a go, and that’s fine but deep down i think we all aspire to clean looking metal clubs. If they perform well and I am sure they do then some will like the look but the TM looks will appeal to more players. I think the T200 , P790 look is more universally liked. Given last years models will now drop in price the cost of these new clubs is high, I think 2 year product cycles make more sense.

  • @radam2818
    @radam2818 Год назад

    A good thing with Callaway is that you can order the irons with up to 2 degrees weaker lofts across the set. In this test, may be a 1 deg weaker loft would have produced higher spin and longer carry distance to match the P790 ?

    • @stevedietrich8936
      @stevedietrich8936 Год назад

      Unlikely. The P790 was producing 2.3 mph more ball speed the way it was. If you weaken the Paradym a degree you probably get more spin and launch, but you likely lose ball speed and most likely a couple of yards of carry.

    Alternatively have we now arrived at the situation where clubs can’t improve much more and all the colours have been used on the back of the club.
    Prices are also continuing to rise so will brands like cobra and Wilson gain popularity. Currently playing Titleist T300 love the looks, forgiveness, and looks.

    @johnk.atchley5079 Год назад

    I second all the comments below. Can relate to your numbers. Just watched a good player, but not a pro, hit the Paradym 7 iron with a swing speed of 87.5 , ball speeds of up to 126 and 128, and carries of 178 to 197. He got excellent height and spin with descent angles averaging 48. But I just can't relate to those numbers. It would be interesting to know what make and flex shaft you were using in these two, and was it the same in both? As for comparing, I much prefer the matte finish on the P790 and its overall look. Don't like the shiny chrome of the Paradym and the back with three different panels. Also, with shiny chrome the sun can reflect off the toe and heel on bright days and interfere with looking at the ball. And yes, in the economy we're in these days, cost is a problem.

    Am I crazy, or is the Paradym lineup more appropriately compared to the new Stealth lineup? The Apex lineup from Callaway is what I always thought were competing with the P790's. While I'm not really a fan of the Paradym marketing, I could get just as picky with the TM stealth lineup. I cannot stand when they mill chunks out of the hosel. It looks too hideous for the purpose of moving a half gram of weight around (if it's more I apologize, but it doesn't look like it's that much if anything).

    They have had clubs with the name of Bertha for several decades. So 'feminine' isn't a new thing for Callaway. The name is ok, not great, not awesome. It sounds like something you would find on a mid range Hyundai but I don't care if they call the club the snail snot if it does well on the course.
    They have potential but not sure I'd dump my P790s for them. I really like the feel of those clubs. I'm not in the market for irons. I am interested in the driver and fairway woods though. Your ball speeds and carry are about the same so I probably would get the same if I tried the new Callaways. It is part of the reason I look at your reviews. Folks with faster swing speeds might have a bit different opinion but TM is still a class iron.
