This year, Callaway dropped the Paradym lineup which includes the Paradym and Paradym X irons.

The first fits into the “player’s distance” category. The X is for those looking at a game-improvement set.

In both, we’re getting an AI-designed Face Cup, urethane microspheres and a lot of tungsten. And just for fun, Callaway threw in something new: a forged 455 stainless steel face.

As iron testing continues in the MyGolfSpy Lab, it’s important that we hear from our loyal readers.

Can we grab your feedback?

TESTERS WANTED

We’re looking for four MyGolfSpy readers to test, review and keep a set of the Callaway Paradym X or Paradym irons.

Head to the Callaway Testing Thread in the forum to apply.

This testing opportunity is open to right- and left-handed golfers in the United States.

It would be great to be a “tester”, never did anything like that before. I’m your average amature golfer. I have great to good and not so good rounds. I enjoy working on my game and get out to the course as much as I can. I’m a decent ball striker, and pretty consistent with my irons. Thanks!

Retired Army Veteran now working with homeless and drug addicted Veterans at my local V.A. I have been introducing some my residents to the game and joking with them saying “pickup golf and you won’t be able to
afford drugs”. Sounds bad but always get a laugh among them. I would love to test your irons and hopefully show them how generous the game can be to one through programs like this…

Bob in Chandler, very interested in testing these clubs as I’m looking for new irons. I’m 69 with a 3 handicapp. 90mph driver. Currently using paradigm driver , 3 wood, and 5 wood, all great.

I have a high swing speed and a decent ball striker that uses mizuno 225s. I’ve played the mavrik pro line and can admit Callaway makes a great iron, I’m curious to see how these stack up to my old mavriks and these 225s.

I will be very honest regarding their forgiveness, I play a 10 handicap.

Callaway is a premier golf club manufacturers who has consistently designed and produced golf clubs that have out-performed the competition. From what I have read about the PARADYM IRONS, I believe they may be game changers in the truest sense. The forged 455 stainless steel face should provide superior feedback and make the shot feel buttery smooth! I hope to have an opportunity to try them on the course in the very near future!

First of all I enjoy reading reviews from “Mygolfspy” mainly because I feel you get the truth about how people actually feel about golf equipment! I just turned 70 and I’m a 9 handicap. I’ve been playing Miura 9003 irons for the past 10 years and feel that I’ve lost distance this past year and am in the market for new irons. The Callaway Paradym irons appear to be the type of irons that could work for me! My only dilemma would be which Paradym model would work best for me. Having the opportunity to play with the “Player Distance” irons along side with the “Game Improvement X” irons would be awesome!!! Thank you for the opportunity!!!!

Yes I would like to try the Paradym Players irons. I am a 12 handicap currently playing Ping I500 graphite shaft irons. Recently purchased the Callaway Rogue St Max LS Driver and really like it so perhaps a move to Callaway irons is in the future.

The page the link supplied generates an error, so I hope this qualifies as an application as a tester.

Have been a Callaway Epic Flash (1st Gen AI face) user and made gains in distance, so I’d enjoy testing these irons against last years offering from another major iron manufacturer.

I’ve been a Spy since 2017 & haven’t lucked-out yet. Mid-capper – put me in what irons you deem best

bob

Definitely going to pass on the offer to test these. Do not like Callaway products and the back of those irons look cheap, like something you would have seen if K-Mart was making clubs. So for the nasty response, just really do not like Callaway irons and the design of these.

I’m a high handicapper but serious about improving- I’m taking lessons and practice/play weekly. Would love to see the fear in the groundskeeper’s face when I tell them I’m testing out new clubs.

I started playing the end of last season and I play three to four rounds a week. Just a 30 handicap currently using a set of Ping I3 +. I’d be so happy to test and review these beautiful Paradym irons! Might just be the ones to see me shrink my handicap by half by years end! ????

I am a 5.5 handicap index player,and play alternetly with the Gallaway x14 and a Taylor made Bubble shaft set, both fitted with factory fitted graphite shafts, the distance reached per club is vertually the same per different set, but the launch angle on the Gallaways is much higher,the spun action on the Gallawy clubs with for instance a Tit Pro Vi ball is greater than with other clubs. I do reside in South Africa snc play 4 -5 games a week, and would be interrested testing the new Paradym club

Darwyn Ross

I’d be more than happy to test the Paradym set of irons. I’m currently using Titleist AP300 having used Callaway Diablo before that. Last year my hndcp dropped to it’s best ever 8.9 but has risen back into double digits. Testing the non-X set would let me evaluate if I am getting good enough to be truly past the improvement iron classification.
Presently using an extra stiff shaft, and golfing 3+ times a week..` Our course is set to open on April 8 so these would get a prompt workout.

Thanks.

My last set of Calloway irons improved my game 8 years ago. I would like to see if Paradym game improvement irons can take it another step today.

For those players who don’t ever play distance (strong lofted) irons and end up putting these in their bag does this count as a “Paradym Shift” in their golf mentality ????

My first experience with Callaway Clubs was with a purchase of an Epic Flash 7 wood Epic Flash 3 wood.
With a high handicap both fairway woods became staples in my bag for their how the combination of club head and shaft supplemented my efforts to improve. Would be excited to to test the Paradigm offering for game improvement irons..

I currently receive the newsletter.

I’ve played the Apex pros for a number of years. As I’m older I have lost distance and of course accuracy these new irons may be the surgery I need without going under the knife. I would be more than happy to test and evaluate.

Current handicap is 14.5. I used to play much better but time takes its toll. At 72 I am still using Mizuno MP-18 muscle backs but shouldn’t be. I hit a small variety of options at a fitter with no conclusion. I would love to review some other options and the Paradyms interest me.

Eugene Gallacher

The irons look quite nice and whilst I’m like everyone else i.e happy for more distance, these category irons don’t usually come up in my “let’s try them out” bracket. However the engineer in me is always intrigued with new stuff and what it could offer me, plus the FOMO just because it’s not my usual route. So whilst I’d jump and hope to be picked since I’m in the UK I’m a no goer. Good luck to those testers that get these and I’ll tune in for the reviews

Do these testing opportunities ever expand outside of the US? It would make your loyal followers north of the 49th appreciative to have the occasional bone thrown over the fence. Just sayin’ …

Keep up the good work, otherwise.
