Callaway Introduces Paradym Star

Paradym has been a success for Callaway. They seemed to be winning every week during the first half of the season, obviously helped by Jon Rahm finding form. They’ve also been raking it in, according to John Barba’s latest financial report on the Topgolf Callaway behemoth. While they might not be selling equipment hand over fist, it’s still fair to call Paradym a big win.

However, the Callaway Paradym line-up doesn’t have something for everyone. While the Triple Diamond targeted the better players, Paradym covered the bulk of the game-improvement sector and the Paradym X helped battle the slice, there was nothing specifically targeted at slower swing speeds. 

Enter the new Callaway Paradym Star.

At one point, senior clubs were all the rage. The classic KING COBRA Seniors with their green graphite shafts spring to mind as well as Yonex. In the current landscape, it’s only really XXIO which offers a premium product that is targeted at the older golfer looking to retain some clubhead speed. Callaway has offered Star products previously with Epic Forged Star and Epic MAX Star. But the new Callaway Paradym Star feels like the most cohesive line-up

“When we look at who it’s for with the Paradym Star family, we know there are a lot of golfers who are either swing speed challenged or getting up in age but they want the performance of Paradym,” explained Dave Neville, Senior Director, Brand Management.

Club of the day - Wilson Staff Model CB

The Wilson Staff Model CB irons are part of Wilson's premium lineup, known for their classic design, precision, and feel. Here are some key features and characteristics of the Wilson Staff Model CB irons:

  1. Classic Look: The Staff Model CB irons have a traditional and compact blade-style design that appeals to skilled players who prefer a clean and timeless appearance.

  2. Forged Construction: These irons are forged from soft carbon steel, which enhances their feel and responsiveness. The forging process also allows for precise shaping and positioning of the weight.

  3. Consistent Distance: Despite their classic appearance, the Staff Model CB irons incorporate modern technology to ensure consistent distance and forgiveness across the clubface.

  4. Tungsten Weighting: To optimize the center of gravity and improve forgiveness, the irons feature strategically placed tungsten weighting. This helps launch the ball higher and adds stability on off-center hits.

Glover, Vu continue comebacks in big weekend in golf

Some big comebacks and incredible shots happened in the PGA, LPGA and LIV this past weekend. Here's everything you might have missed.

Shot Scope PRO LX and PRO LX+ Laser Rangefinders

The Shot Scope PRO LX and PRO LX+ laser rangefinders are, technically speaking, the sixth and seventh new products introduced by the Scottish golf tech company this year. Also, technically speaking, these aren’t really new laser rangefinders.

Again, technically speaking, the PRO LX and PRO LX+ are updates to the rangefinders the company released a year and a half ago. And, still technically speaking, these laser rangefinders are not replacements for the marvelously priced Shot Scope PRO L2 which was released in April.

And, (you guessed it) technically speaking, we’re not talking about game-changing, earth-shattering updates, either. Instead, we’re talking about an upgrade here and a refinement there. If you already have a PRO LX or a PRO LX+, there’s no need to replace it.

With that said, it’s a fair question to ask why Shot Scope is even bothering. You’ll find the answer, dear reader, in the very last parade you attended.

Shot Scope PRO LX and PRO LX+ Laser Rangefinders

Manufacturers of anything other than consumables know they’re selling to a parade and you are the tuba player in the marching band. You may already have one of whatever it is they’re selling but maybe the oboe player behind you doesn’t. Or maybe it’s the guy on the Rotary Club float or the juggler riding the unicycle. They’re all potential customers.
