    Thank you for a great demo of the new irons. Great to see how they perform in a realistic setting. Too many videos show endless perfect shots but you kept it real and they looked and behaved well. I'm in the market for new irons, my 15+ year old irons need replacing and these might just be the answer. Cost is a factor, but I'm lucky enough to maybe take the plunge if I can get on with them.

    I'm going to be 75 next month and play to an 11 handicap. I've been playing a set of Ping 'G' Series black dot irons with R flex graphite shafts for the past 6 years. As I've gotten older, I've lost a bit of swing speed. My typical driver swing is between 92-95 and my 6-iron carries about 140 plus a bit of roll. When my driver speed drops back to the mid-high 80s I'll probably make the decision to move to softer flex shafts. When that happens I'll probably pull the pin and get a new set of irons. Until then, I'll stick with my Pings. Thanks for the great videos! You're principally responsible for my selling my Ping 425 3-wood to a mate and replacing it with a 425 7-wood. Driver, 5 & 7 woods as a set are working well for me! And I swear less than I did when the 3-wood was in the bag! :)

    Thanks for the great review. They certainly look very appealing. I bought takomo 101s mid of 2022 and still loving them. I've bought a hybrid and wood end of last year too, but they were demo models so the price was good. If I buy anything this year it would not be one of these new models (of the big brands) but rather something of 2 or so seasons ago..

    Callaway had a fitting day at a local shop. I went to the Ping one the week before and hit the G430 irons. I think like most I was more interested in the driver. However, it became clear that the driver was casting a large shadow. The irons are really special too. I ended up getting fitted into the Paradym X and a stiff shaft. I've been playing a muscle back iron for a few years now, but my game is not to that level so knew I needed to swallow my pride and go back to a game improvement iron. I originally didn't want to pay that much for a set of irons, but they were the better club I tested. Looking forward to getting them on the course.

    If I were to try/buy new irons these would be on my list. Topline has never been an issue with me as I look at the ball. I like the fact they are a compact game improvement and the improvement showed with afew of your early strikes on a Cold day.

    Fitted for these the 1st week of January when i had no idea they existed (went in for T-100's or 225's but these stole the show). I've had them for 7 rounds now and started as an 8.9 and am down to an 8. I've played decent despite not striking the irons really well until this past round. Even my misses are handy, and that makes quite a difference.

  • @Glf65297
    @Glf65297 Жыл бұрын

    Andy, nice review. I bought a new set of Callaway Mavrik irons R- shaft last year - dispersion was terrible, distance was great. To be fair to Mavrik, it was probably the stock shaft. My Callaway Big Bertha irons (1996) with firm graphite shafts are like laser guidance accuracy compared to the Mavrik. I like older clubs so I found a full set of Tommy Armour Oversize irons (mid 90's era)in Goodwill for $27.00 including the bag. Regular flex steel stock shafts. Clubs and shafts were a 9/10 condition. Half cord grips are still good. They are long, accurate, and forgiving and without any doubt, they will match up with any modern day iron. In the case of the Mavrik, I think changing the shaft would have a big difference but it's too expensive to do that so I sold them. I'm a ten handicap and the last time I played with my old Callaway Big Bertha's, I shot 76. So no I won't be buying any new irons this year for $1200 to $1500 per set when I can go down to Goodwill and buy a set for under $30.00 that is just as good or on ebay for 30 percent of the original cost. Good irons will last a lifetime or several life times if they are taken care of. I have clubs that are 100 years old with hickory shafts and the original leather grips. I played them, too, but they don't hit near as far - maybe 2 clubs less distance. I have several sets of clubs from 1920 to 2010 and I bought them used. I like to compare clubs from different eras and brands and non-brands. The bottom line is, it all comes down to a good swing; the Mavrik iros were the only exception. When the price comes down, I will get another set with different shafts just to see if it was the stock R flex shaft.

    Nice review and pars :). It's hard to give an opinion without seeing in person or using them. That said the styling of these irons seem like they are aimed more toward younger or newer golfers which is probably a good thing (assuming this demo is looking to spend money this year). The drivers seem interesting in technical design but only time will tell how they play out.

Following your video I'll be adding Paradym and perhaps Paradym X to the list. They are all pretty expensive however if they last me as long as my X14 then that's pretty good value.

    Thanks for your videos on the new Paradym line up. I’ve tried them at a shop and compared them with other options. Found them a huge improvement over my 9 year old Pings. Ordered a set. By the way the word “paradigm” is trendy word for a new generation of seeing (a product, philosophy etc.). Here is a definition from the internet: a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. "geophysical evidence supporting Wegener's theory led to a rapid paradigm shift in the earth sciences". So…. A very appropriate name, even though many won’t get it! 😮

    I’m not sure if you’re aware Andy, as I haven’t seen you review them, but Callaway released another family of clubs at the end of November. These were the Great Big Bertha. Driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. The irons have a huge amount of tech and tungsten weights screwed in the bottom of the head. This has made the irons about $790 per iron in Australian dollars. Now remember, the Bertha line of clubs are aimed at the high handicap player as a super game improvement iron. That’s a price tag of $5000 plus in Australian dollars for a set of irons aimed at a small market. Now if these paradym irons, and there is a larger head available called the Paradym X are going to be half the price for a set than the new Bertha range, then I would give them a try and see if they are as good as the higher priced irons. Cheers

    I feel that for someone looking for game improvement irons, and the level that player will generally be at in their game, they are a big investment. There are a lot of good 2nd hand options out there. You can pick up a set of Mizuno JPX800's for around £200 which although a few years old now, look and feel great.

    I just hit a few of these today. A playing partner rented an entire set; woods and all. First thing is, i liked how they looked. They had a nice players iron look to them. Not a huge fan of the blue back on them but that’s just being picky. When i hit them they were fairly long. I’m 56 and i normally hit an 8 iron about 145. I had a shot that was 152 and uphill, probably playing about 160. I hit a shot right over the flag to the back of the green. Probably hit it close to 170. I’m just not used to that kind of distance change. Granted, i normally play a more standard loft. But these irons hit high and long. I didn’t even really hit the sweet spot either. It sounded like a snap when i hit the ball. Like a twig snapping. These are certainly a set that i would consider. They seem very easy to hit. However, i don’t have an extra $1400 laying around so, i don’t think I’ll be getting them. But they are really nice and seem like they would make life easy for a few folks. I don’t think there’s a spot on the club face where you couldn’t hit the ball. Maybe the entire face is the sweet spot?

    Another quality instalment from The Average Golfer. For me, the looks let this set of irons down. Specifically, the insert. I am not a fan and think it will date very quickly. I played the X18s and always hated that thick top line. I think Callaway could have disguised that visually on this model and made it look thinner. There are plenty of examples of that from other manufacturers. Not for me, but great review, Andy. All the best!

    These irons shocked me. I play off 5 and typically play “players” irons. My previous irons were MP-18 MMCs. I was convinced I was getting t100s. Fitter gave me these and I initially gave them no shot. Then I went 10 for 10 from 180. They aren’t typically what I would go for in looks but they are pretty compact with very little offset. Couldn’t get my wallet out soon enough.

    It is interesting that you classify them as Game Improvement irons (targeted at mid/high handicappers) with some Players irons properties (compact head size) while Callaway has been classifying them as Players Irons (targeted more mid/low handicappers - Rogue ST Pro territory) with some Game Improvement properties (increased distance, higher ball flight, and less dispersion).

    Paradyme is a play on the properly spelled paradigm, meaning a typical example or pattern; a model. So the change is in the balance: a wider, bulkier top line coupled with the look, feel, and sound of a player’s club. So Callaway has pulled off a “paradyme shift” for the masses. Marketing genius.

The gimmick words of players, game improvement and super game improvement clubs pigeon hole and trick golfers. It always helps to like your dance partner even if she’s high maintenance. It will be interesting to see how Callaway rolls these out. As always a stellar review. Off the track: I’d like to hear your top 10 Average Golfer’s” favorite Scottish gold courses. Cheers.

Now looking at woods next, but $350 a club is a lot. May be looking at Ping G425 or even Callaway Mavrik for a 3 / 5 wood. Great content though, keep it up!

    Stick to PXG, the price to value is the highest in golf now. The big manufacturers have gone completely of control with their prices! 600 for a driver? Come on when PXG can sell theirs for 299? You can’t tell me that the extra 300 will make THAT much of an improvement! IMO you’d be better getting PXG clubs for half price and use the rest of the money for lessons! THAT will improve your game, buying a 600 driver ABSOLUTELY will not, unless you play on tour of course!

    Not a fan of the thick top line, but there is a limit to what they could do with a hollow bodied iron. Apart from the top line I like the look of the irons. The lofts are too strong for me (29 in 7i), basically a club stronger than I am used to, but equally not as strong as many game improvement irons. I suspect most people buying them only need 6i-PW in them

    Just a thought, why do we still keep commenting on a bulky top line on irons? This is the way 95 % (?) of all clubs look like? Since 15 years or more. We're not commenting on how big a composite tennis racket is compared to Bjorn Borg's old Donnay wooden rackets? :) I've gamed both blades and "modern" clubs. I would be mostly interested in trajectory & lofts, if they're easy to aim to the target and if they produce spin or not. PS. Love to watch your reviews of new clubs. Looking forward to next video.

    Visually, these are just the exact opposite of what I look for in irons. The back has color and it's extremely crowded and busy-looking. And they're chrome. I like the shape of the heads, but if they'd gone for satin and a cleaner-looking back I'd be trying them out. Of course, I probably WILL try them anyway, I'll hit them really well, and they'll end up in the bag for 3 years. 😆

    Hi there! As a man who has tinkered with countless sets of clubs, drivers , putters and fairway woods in the past. I am not particularly happy with my current set up but with all the new releases coming in at such a high price I just can’t justify spending such vast amounts on new clubs. I have an even considered the best recommendations for training aids instead but they too have shot up in price. Some of these items look like they would cost only a few pounds to manufacture but are all coming in at well over the £100 mark. I think it could be a bad year for the big brand golf producers and maybe that’s not a bad thing . Are they all getting a little greedy? 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t plan on buying anything new. Had my PXG’s for about a year now. Bought the gen 3’s after the gen 4’s launched at a much better price. Could upgrade but don’t see the point as my yardages are at the max of what I’d want them to be. Driver, 3 wood and 5 wood are all gen 4. With the new rules and allowing more clubs, I’d be tempted to add a 7 wood or a 4 iron. Perhaps a chipper lol
