Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond vs Titleist TSR4 | "20 yards difference?!"
GolfMagic Equipment Editor Alex Lodge put the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond up against the Titleist TSR4 in his quest to find the lowest-spinning driver.
The search for a low-spinning chief has always been a quest for our Alex Lodge.
He's always wanted one that spins around 2000-2200rpm. It's really difficult, because his golf swing is rubbish.
Not my words, his.
Throughout 2023, he's going on a search to find the best one he can put into the bag.

But back to the topic at hand and one of the drivers that made the 2023 list - the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, went head-to-head with the Titleist TSR4 for our latest YouTube video.

As Alex rightly points out, looks are subjective. But it's clear he prefers the sleek, clean design of the Titleist TSR4.
He said: "The Paradym looks a little bit more modern and you can see that 360 degree carbon chassis wrapping around."
Performance...

Alex said the sweet spot is still rather small.
Some great numbers for Titleist, he said, but not that low spinning.

The problem?
Alex said although it feels great, he doesn't believe it's that forgiving. It's mainly on the toe strike, as the spin drops significantly, which is hugely detrimental to your game.
On some toe strikes, Alex got around 900-1100rpm, which is just too low.
He added:
Of course, you can change the shaft to amend this. But for the purposes of this experiment, it was important to use the same set-up.
