When the Callaway Paradym driver burst onto the scene in January, golfers took notice. Yes it was a new line from an industry leader, but it was different, fresh and the messaging was bold. Then it hit the PGA Tour and had validation unlike anything we have seen in recent years winning seemingly every week and players both on staff and those unpaid were putting it in the bag.
We can rehash the tech story with the industry first 360 degree carbon chassis. The new AI designed Jailbreak system. A fresh face design to assist with downrange dispersion. All of these things and more make up what Callaway calls a “Paradym Shift” in construction.
THP Forum Members that participated in the Grandaddy were some of the first that were able to put the Callaway Paradym in play and you can read all of their reviews here. The only negative mentioned online at times seems to be that not everybody was in love with the blue finish. While on a personal level, I think it looks outstanding and stands out in a crowded space, for whatever reason, not everybody loves the color.
That brings up an interesting discussion point about releases and should more colors or less be offered? If every driver was the same matte or glossy black, would people crave more personality? Maybe.
Whether this means that Callaway was listening to its user base or that the company saw an opportunity is really up for debate (although they have told us that it was about consumer feedback). But today, Callaway Paradym is entering NIGHT MODE.
This limited edition Callaway Night Mode is the same Paradym from a tech standpoint, now featured in a sleek, dark profile. We could write a lot of fun things about the look and design of the Paradym Night Mode, but honestly, the pictures say more than our words will.
With Night Mode, the Paradym head is painted differently, but it didn’t stop there. The Project X HZRDUS shaft has a custom cosmetic look that matches the Night Mode motif perfectly. Important note here, Callaway is offering both the standard Paradym and the Triple Diamond heads. In the Standard head, the HZRDUS Silver is available in 50g regular flex. The HZRDUS Black is available in 60g stiff flex. For the Triple Diamond, the HZRDUS Black is available in 60g stiff and X stiff shafts.
The Callaway Paradym Night Mode driver launches today and is available for pre-sale immediately. It will also hit retail and be available on June 14th. The price tag is $699.99.
Which do you prefer? Current offering or entering Night Mode?
