Where it wins
- Feel85
- Sound84
- Looks84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a moderate swing, want an easy, high, straight flight, and value a light, premium build.
You swing at speed, want adjustability, or need to work the ball — the standard Paradym fits better.
Pros
- Ultra-light and easy to swing, adding speed for a moderate swing
- A high, draw-biased flight that flies straight
- A refined, pleasant feel and sound — nicer than the standard Paradym
Cons
- No adjustable hosel — dropped to save weight
- Short — built for slow swings, not distance
- Little shot-shaping from the light, draw-leaning head
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongForgiving and left-leaning — a deep, front-set weight and a tall, hooded head hold a gentler swing straight and steady.
Distance
StrongBuilt to add speed for a gentle swing — a featherweight build and easy launch stretch carry, if not to bomber lengths.
Workability
ModestMade to fly high and turn over — a light, draw-biased head that flies straight, not one to shape.
Feel
ExcellentA pleasing, refined strike — a crisp, agreeable note off the face, softer and nicer than the standard Paradym.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, pleasant click at impact — smoother and easier on the ear than the harder standard model.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, premium-looking head that sits well over the ball — tidy and reassuring for a moderate swing.
