Really enjoying this little series of videos, one small suggestion would be to have the foot spray for the face on the on course drives, less pressure on Mark to diagnose his strike then and takes the guesswork out of the comparisons.
This video is pretty much me right now. Mid handicapper, always gone with Ping and had my trusty driver for years. Been itching to potentially get a new one and have been researching other makes and models which might give me longer hits and are more forgiving. Great video and really helpful for us less gifted golfers! The Callaway just made my shortlist, looks impressive.
You are sooooo right. So many are asking, "should I change my driver this year?"... or, other clubs in our bags. Usually not the irons, it is mostly the driver, woods and hybrids. Great content James, thank you so much!!
You guys have done a great job of testing out these new drivers. Although there is no way on earth I would spend that much money for one I love seeing what is out there and how they perform for not just the good players but for us mid-handicappers as well. Thanks for all your work on this.
James…..love your content and I especially like it when you spotlight a higher handicap player in these tests / reviews because I can relate more to the outcomes. I currently play with a very old set of Calloways that I bought back in the mid 90’s. I think I might be due for something new and the Paradym is gettting my juices flowing.
James...love your content. As a high handicap golfer (18.5 index), seeing the stats for Mark is much more useful than yours 😉 Based on the performance chart you showed @9:40, it looks like Mark hit mostly fade/push with the Paradym, but the dispersion was pretty good.
having a fitting tuesday my fav 2 is the paradym and ping but not keeping anything out ,just love the look of the paradym cant wait love all your content
Good job Mark! Now the question has naturally shifted to has Mark game improved to the point that new irons & wedges are in order. To his pro, good job. Y’all have a good weekend.
Great video and glad to see Mark back. His swing is so much better. Your gonna need a new mid-handicapper soon as he's going to play his way to a low handicap. I'm looking forward to trying the Paradym.
Really looking forward to trying out this club. Always played Callaway drivers, but haven’t loved anything as much as the original Epic. Hoping the Paradym can rival its older brother!
I’ve certainly seen a change in my game as I’ve changed manufacturers always been taylormade I’m now titleist and loving then it’s certainly given me more interest in the game
I would love to see you in all your videos tell us which club and why for your shots after the tee shot. It would give golfers some insight on you course management skills. Keep up the great content
I love the looks, sound and performance of the Paradym. I can live with the name, but sadly, not the price. One to look for in a couple of years maybe....
At 51 years old I have achieved my pb with the triple diamond in ball speed 168 , carry 284 , and total of 312 . I have been extremely impressed with the paradym and this coming from someone who has been playing 25 years and have never gamed a callaway driver.
I’m excited to demo the new Callaway Paradym drivers.Until I got my Epic MaxLS I had always played Titelist Cobra or Taylor Made, but now it’s loos like Callaway has stepped it up
Seeing the numbers from the studio Mark definitely got the best stats with the Paradym, and that showed on the course. Based on the studio numbers I would have turned down the loft by 1*, and that would have made the numbers even more optimal (bringing his spin below 3000, and lower the launch slightly), and then he would have probably seen even more distance.
I wouldn't mind seeing how Mark's handicap and scores have tracked since you've been working together... Seems to me like he is building a very nice swing.
Loving the review and having Mark back on the channel What we really need is an 18 hole match, you and Mark Vs Chris and Dave. Make it happen this summer please! 🤞🏌️💪⛳
I’ve been playing the Taylor made sim 2 since it was new an I’m a 5 handicap, I’m really thinking about trying this new driver! The reviews seem pretty good on it! I just don’t know if I should try the x or the triple diamond, the clubs aren’t available in Canada yet
"Its a bit of a Maverick" "You cant say that"😅 Think Mark meant its a belter but forgot the Maverick Driver Nice vid. Would love to try one of them. Would mop up my Ping G5 driver🤗
Always like your videos but need to be careful looking at stats. In this example Calllaway does look like the lowest spin, but standard deviation figures against Ping G430 means you can’t say definitely that one is lower than the other as they overlap. Issue for me is cost seems ridiculous. It’s more expensive than the annual membership for some clubs, so for the average golfer starting out it’s probably better to buy an older model from a reputable company like GolfClubs4Cash and spend the rest on a membership or season ticket.
I will never understand why the "likes" are only ever a fraction of the views and number of subscribers. It is the simplest thing you can all do to support your favourite creators. I automatically "like" practically all of Robbo's, Chris', etc. Not because I am a mindless fanboy, but because it triggers positive YT consequences and helps grow the channel...
Hmm, the green fee for my home course is about $30.00 (US). This new driver is about $600.00, so by not spending the 600 on the new driver, I can play 20 rounds of golf with my older driver which sends the ball as far as needed. What are manufacturers thinking?
Have to agree with the others here - the swing is so much better. Would be hard for me to justify the costs of the Paradym (or any of the new drivers) to get 8 more yards carry and 10 more with roll vs his current driver. What was also eye-opening is the G410 vs the G430 are basically the same end results. If he could pull the spin down with the G410 somehow he'd be just as long with it as any of them. If it was only that easy!
That could be said for all of them. None of those numbers were optimised by any stretch of the imagination. If he got that paradym optimised for launch and spin, his distance would go up another 8-10 yards. No way the g410 keeps up with the paradym! Period.
Another driver where all the studio stats are about length, not dispersion (re forgiveness)... surely with a mid-handicapper dispersion is far more important than + or - 10 yards..
Why would you have the Stealth 2 HD high launch, high spin driver in that comparison? Of course it will be down on ball speed, carry and total distance against the other drivers. Let’s make it a fair test please!
Is there a give a way on Mr. Robinsons sight or is it a total scam…I saw in a video he posted about winning items but the this sight and that one seem different!
People cannot expect better quality and performance with each new release then expect to pay less money! That isn't how shit works! Golf is expensive! It always has been and it always will be. If you want cheaper clubs buy used. Or wait for the newest model to launch and then buy the previous model. Hobbies are expensive if you want to use the best premium equipment. Cars, fishing, shooting, hunting, biking. All of it costs money.
@@codycook3382 I agree. My statement lies in the fact that drivers at least should go the way of Ping. Release ONE every 2 years. Drives the market to buy and more incentive than utter minutiae of improvements year to year.
Don’t just believe the hype, test for yourself. The Paradym may well be an improvement for you but it certainly wasn’t for me (senior golfer with a slow swing speed) I recently tested my current gamer agains the Paradym, the G430 and the stealth 2. Not a one of them was a single inch longer that my 5 year old driver. And before anyone has a rant over my statement I totally accept that for many (probably with a faster swing than me) it may well be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but for heaven’s sake get a proper testing before you fork out the totally ridiculous prices being asked for this year’s crop.
Just a FYI... Forged carbon is weaker than woven carbon, but it is WAAAY prettier. With woven carbon, the long strands of fiber provide more tensile strength, where as the chopped up random fibers in the forged stuff doesn't provide as much.
The Paradym is so good that it has a 'soul' rather than a 'sole'! 🔥
Really enjoying this little series of videos, one small suggestion would be to have the foot spray for the face on the on course drives, less pressure on Mark to diagnose his strike then and takes the guesswork out of the comparisons.
Marks swing looks so much better than before and it’s obvious in the results. Spend money on lessons and then get fit to improve. Well done Mark!
Couldn't have said it better. James absolutely interacts with him more as an advanced student/peer. Good stuff!!
I was noticing the same thing. Much better and more consistent move less arms-first and more rotation that sling the arms through.
Enjoy watching Mid handicap Mark. Can see some of my swings in his. The Callaway Paradym driver looks really nice...

Morning from Bama! Mid handicap Mark is fun to watch simply bc I can really compare my swing to him. This new Callaway is def a winner!
You guys have done a great job of testing out these new drivers. Although there is no way on earth I would spend that much money for one I love seeing what is out there and how they perform for not just the good players but for us mid-handicappers as well. Thanks for all your work on this.
I just bought the Calloway RT last year, but all of the videos I have watched on the paradym have been extremely impressive.
James…..love your content and I especially like it when you spotlight a higher handicap player in these tests / reviews because I can relate more to the outcomes.

I've never understood using a tee "finder". I mean, i have a bag full of tees and i'm really not afraid of losing one here & there. 🙃
So good to have Mark back on the channel!
I have a Mavrik and recently an Epic Speed, but this could be the best thing since the ERC 2
My numbers and swing changes are very similar to Mark so, this review is so gOod for me 👍🏼 might have to book in the Paradym fitting
Good job Mark! Now the question has naturally shifted to has Mark game improved to the point that new irons & wedges are in order. To his pro, good job. Y’all have a good weekend.
James, drivers are on my wish list can't wait try a few, Calloway really peaks my interest. Keep the videos coming.
Fitting sat for me,bring me that paradym 👍😛,think it's the driver of the year by reveiws 👍⛳
Great video and glad to see Mark back. His swing is so much better. Your gonna need a new mid-handicapper soon as he's going to play his way to a low handicap. I'm looking forward to trying the Paradym.
Love these style of videos as I am a mid-handicapper (14) and definitely looking for a new driver. Irons and wedges next?
Really looking forward to trying out this club. Always played Callaway drivers, but haven’t loved anything as much as the original Epic. Hoping the Paradym can rival its older brother!
I’ve certainly seen a change in my game as I’ve changed manufacturers always been taylormade I’m now titleist and loving then it’s certainly given me more interest in the game
Another great video for mid handicap players!
Getting a free fitting Sunday at golf galaxy for this club. Can't wait.
I think we are all wondering where Foxy is???? I miss him.
I would love to see you in all your videos tell us which club and why for your shots after the tee shot. It would give golfers some insight on you course management skills. Keep up the great content

The Paradym is beautiful - wondering how it compares directly against the G430 and the Mizuno 230s.

I have the rogue ST. Im just waiting til I can go get the paradym im super pumped to go get it
I love the look of this bat🤯🏴
Loving the review and having Mark back on the channel
What we really need is an 18 hole match, you and Mark Vs Chris and Dave. Make it happen this summer please! 🤞🏌️💪⛳
Mark & Paradym, Wow! can't wait for it to arrive. Gotta go get fitted for one. Cheers
Great video. I really like your editing style to your vids to keep us hungry.
Honestly all the 2023 releases are great. Just comes down to your swing and getting fitted
I would recommend dialing in a proper shaft fit instead of a stock off the rack shaft. Great video
Great to see you Mark.
What about TSR 2? I tried that the other day and that is a beast!!! A forgiving beast
Another fantastic review by Mark and the callaway driver this year looks something special
Great series of driver testing
Great work mark , very similar numbers to myself
I’ve been playing the Taylor made sim 2 since it was new an I’m a 5 handicap, I’m really thinking about trying this new driver! The reviews seem pretty good on it! I just don’t know if I should try the x or the triple diamond, the clubs aren’t available in Canada yet
Is the best looking driver in the last 5 years. Currently have the Rogue ST Max Triple Diamond LS.
"Its a bit of a Maverick"
"You cant say that"😅
Think Mark meant its a belter but forgot the Maverick Driver
Nice vid. Would love to try one of them. Would mop up my Ping G5 driver🤗
Currently gaming a PXG, but this Paradym is niiiiice looking club. Im seriously considering it.
I game PXG driver, woods and hybrid as well. Love PXG

That new Paradym is awesome!
Great video. Titleist TSR2 may be a good fit. it is a highly underrated driver.

I automatically "like" practically all of Robbo's, Chris', etc. Not because I am a mindless fanboy, but because it triggers positive YT consequences and helps grow the channel...
I am a TAylormade guy but this driver is real deal
Who has Mark had lesson with? Congrats Mark on your improvement. I hope it has resulted in lower scores. A great fair review of new drivers.
The blue crown of the paradym is a sexy thing.
Mark looking very flexible on his backswing and making a nice turn. Is his working out? If so it seems to be working for him.
Mizuno running bird spotted lol great watch guys
Wish you would compare the TSR2 and the Paradymn
Hmm, the green fee for my home course is about $30.00 (US). This new driver is about $600.00, so by not spending the 600 on the new driver, I can play 20 rounds of golf with my older driver which sends the ball as far as needed. What are manufacturers thinking?
would the TSR2 run it close, with the claims for consistent speed all across the face
I woke up this morning to a -41° C wind chill. Kinda nice to look at someplace green on TH-cam lol
Well that was quite a ringing endorsement.
Put it up against the the stealth and g430. The g430 came off better for me but looks great 👍
Mark smashed that driver 👏 👌 well done James
What shaft was Mark using testing the Paradym?
Ol Mark hits a nice driver. Very consistent.
Have to agree with the others here - the swing is so much better. Would be hard for me to justify the costs of the Paradym (or any of the new drivers) to get 8 more yards carry and 10 more with roll vs his current driver.

Paradym for the win! 🤑
Great video as always........please lose the music at the start though. It's too loud and I can't hear you until it stops
Just switched back from the Ai smoke triple to last years paradym it’s so much better honestly
The new mizuno is getting very good reviews 👍
I was so transfixed by what Mark was teeing up with I forgot this was a driver review 🤣
That is an interesting tee keeping tool
Which is better. HZRDUS Gen 4 black or silver.
Was wondering which shaft Mark was using?
Love marks testing
The Paradym looks very interesting. I hope I win one!
I have a G410 driver and it’s staying in the bag
The more I watch this new callaway driver the more I want to go get fitted on the next callaway demo.
Love the callaway
Mark is swinging like a young man.
Another driver where all the studio stats are about length, not dispersion (re forgiveness)... surely with a mid-handicapper dispersion is far more important than + or - 10 yards..
whats the stock shaft for this driver?
Why would you have the Stealth 2 HD high launch, high spin driver in that comparison? Of course it will be down on ball speed, carry and total distance against the other drivers. Let’s make it a fair test please!
can you test the new Srixon Drivers please
I think I may have pulled the trigger too fast in purchasing my Rogue.
Is there a give a way on Mr. Robinsons sight or is it a total scam…I saw in a video he posted about winning items but the this sight and that one seem different!
Paradym may have this year wrapped up. It's nice to have rotation in the best clubs of the year, but can we get a price break?!

Has Mark hit the Mizuno and Cobra drivers, James ?
Mark's swing has a great tempo with power. You two in a match?
What is Mark’s swing speed?
With marks swing. He won't be mid handicap any longer. Keep up the great work
Were you using the same shaft in all these tests? 🧐
Pheasant photo bomb…priceless
Did mark try the triple diamond 🤔
Don’t just believe the hype, test for yourself.

Smooooth 😊
Not critiquing by no means, have you noticed the sound James has been really low ? Or is it just me
