I love my r 9 lol how old school
Would probably say Taylormade
Never mind about Callaway Paradym driver, the clubs to be finding and testing is the Kirkland irons! Yes, Kirkland irons. They are being brought out this year. They are a hollow, forged set. Probably only in the U.S. at the moment, but you’ve beaten the system before Rick. Get on to you’re sources in America and test the clubs everyone is waiting for!
@Gear Box I just got fitted for my driver and got it as a gift. It’s probably time to get a first set of irons for me after a starter Callaway Strata set. But if these are cheaper than the roughly $1,000 for 6 irons I’m looking at, I’ll definitely give it a look. Got the Kirkland wedges and they’re great.
You don’t have to be cheap or new to appreciate value and not care about brand snobbery.
@Richard Navrátil So you are new to the game…my point exactly. Thanks.
@Gear Box Actually, no. I mean, what do you define as “new to the game?” I have 4 full seasons under my belt with the starter set, mid-handicapper looking to upgrade, not get into it for the first time, that was my point. I.e. this might interest people that are not new to the game nor necessarily cheap.
@Richard Navrátil I think most people including myself would still classify that as being new. My opinion as someone involved in the game on the playing side and the business side. Cheers
@Gear Box From that standpoint I guess? *shrugs*
Bought the Callaway Epic Driver and 3wd a couple seasons ago. Love them as much now as I did when I first bought them. Callaway woods have always treated me well and I’ll keep using them as long as they continue to work for my game.
I got rogue st driver and 3 wood last year, first upgrade in 8 years. And they are some amazing clubs jmo.
I have Mavrik driver and 5 wood and i love them. This year , wanted a 7 wood to replace a 4 hybrid and got a Rogue. After 3 shots, it became my favorite club!
Interesting. I probably will be in the market to replace the Mavrik this year, maybe and will have to give this club a shot. The Rogue didn’t show me a real improvement but this one might be both a bit longer and a bit more forgiving. Worth a look.
Highly doubt this will give you better results
Spend your money on lessons
Sacrificing 5 yards for consistency is worth it especially if you already roll out to or past 300. Consistently is very important. I have hit longer drivers and owned longer drivers but currently play the one that is consistently pretty long and I feel I can hit it where I want. Very important and glad you mention distance isn’t the most important thing.
100%, if your not consistent with your clubs, that miniscule amount of difference is wasted money. I have my iron set from like 2005 (cobra ssi oversized) that I know exactly what to expect on good medium and poor strikes. The tools are only as good as you are!
Yeah as a mid handicapper, seeing this review, why would I go for anything else than the Paradym X? I need all the forgiveness I need and I’ll take hitting all fairways in reg over getting 20 yards extra on 2-3 drives but missing 3 fairways. That’s the logic I used when I bought my Mavrik Max and I don’t regret one bit
@Benjamin Smith I use the max LS but if the standard is forgiving enough for me I’d go for that knowing I’d squeeze 15 more yards and I could work the ball more. Triple diamond is cool but i think that is reserved for low to scratch players.
Spot on, I am very wild off the tee with driver so usually hit 3W. Winter conditions and the huge amount of leaves mean keeping it in the fairway is critical and have been hitting 4 iron or the tee, it’s almost a different game always on the fairway
These clubs look amazing, if only the could put a even cheaper version of the X out, even if it lost another 20 yards I would consider it.
The cheaper version would be previous years models (epic/maverick/rogue, similar shafts size and way cheaper, Stenson had his 3 wood for ages, because it worked, too many players change clubs for the wrong reasons thinking it will change there game, there better off spending £599 on lessons….
I’ll stick with my PXG 0211. Does what I need it to do, easy to hit, looks good and dirt cheap compared to all the other brands.
I had a funny experience last year, tried the Rogue ST Max driver on demo day, not tried a driver in 20+years, and I could not hit this thing wrong. I did not buy any because I got a putter and a W3 instead but going to look into driver this year.
I understand the latest and greatest reviews every year on the “best drivers”, but you’ve proved it to me many times on your channel that it’s not the clubs, it’s the golfer! Not saying I wouldn’t be tempted to buy one, I won’t because I bought a new set last year😁, after 28 years of using my old ones. Great video!
Playing mavrik at the moment and love it. Very forgiving, added 20 yds distance from last drver( Taylor made) and am certainly finding more fairways. Maybe Santa bring me paradym next Christmas
Good review Rick as usual.
Mavrik was awesome. Such a sweet sound!
Yeah man loving my Mavrik also, but may look at a Paradym this year.
Excellent and measured review. Thanks! Going to consider the X, but I’m looking forward to seeing what Cobra comes out with.
I love the look of it. I have a stealth and honestly think it’s a bit ugly. Good driver, but just not pretty. It was a replacement for my Sim Max which I thought was gorgeous as well, actually hoped they would just repair it, but a stealth replacement was the only option. Paradym is definitely on my radar if I’m able to sell the stealth for a decent return.
Four years ago Rick reviewed the original rogue. The stats were: Ball Speed 161, Carry 282 and Total distance 300.
This is why I think most consumers can wait at least 5 year to upgrade, the improvements just aren’t worth the $500-$800 price tag for a new driver ever 1-2 yrs.
@Erik Clark the newest club in my bag I got 8 years ago. My Razr Fit Extreme still goes a lot further than my all my friends brand new drivers lol I totally agree with your statement
@FDGunmod in the simulator!
@Richard Mason hits his ping in the simulator too. Is he only getting 260 yard carry 280 total?
@GDTrading sim head crack TM will prob send you a stealth lol
I’d like to see Rick play 9 holes with 3 balls each hole, 1 with each club and see a true comparison of the clubs when it comes to the scorecard. I’d like to see how much of a difference accuracy vs distance really makes on his score.
Scorecard ? What is this four letter word you speak of ? Hahaha
That wouldn’t work unless Rick could hit the exact same shot everytime
They definitely should do a test with that driver robot.
The real battle is Paradym vs Titleist TSR. I upgraded to TSR2 from an epic speed and the difference is night and day. My first non-callaway driver in 10 years, so it took a lot to make the change. Crazy hot across the face and easy to square up. Would love to see a head to head comparison.
This is the battle I’d like to see
The problem is the answer is simple. Whatever club works best for you is the best club. Rick’s best driver won’t be your best driver. It’s not a comparison of what will work best for you but a comparison of technology and its advances year over year.
@Jeremy Petro Well of course it is but we enjoy hearing from a voice that tests every single new product on the market and gives feedback. I’ve used his feedback to somewhat narrow down my choices when I go in for a fitting. Helps a lot for me personally because we have similar swing speeds and body size.
The standard deviation on carry distance surprises me. I’d expect more variation on the Triple Diamond. Maybe the smaller head forced you to center-face it better? Cool video!
I’d like to see what would happen if you spent some time messing around with the paradigm x and working to get that spin rate down. ie, loft and lie changes and a different shaft selection. Seems to me like it could get closer to the ❇️❇️❇️ distance and you’d have the ultimate driver ! That would make a fantastic video as well. All the different ways to change your drivers ball flight patterns.
Another fantastic video by Rick and the crew. Kudos.
