Callaway Paradym Vs Callaway Paradym X Hybrid Comparison
Both the Callaway Paradym and Paradym X hybrids feature a 455 steel face cup and fairway wood shaping.
But which one is right for you? Read on to find out
Callaway Paradym Hybrid Overview
“The Paradym hybrid is available in 18, 21, 24 and 27 degree loft versions.”
The biggest differences between the standard Paradym and Pardym X hybrids is that the standard has neutral flight bias and no 30° version.
And head size. The standard Callaway Paradym hybrid has a significantly smaller footprint than the Paradym X.
Callaway Paradym X Hybrid Overview
“Paradym X comes in 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 degree loft versions.”
Plus, the CG has been shifted a little closer to the heel to produce a slight draw bias.
I liked that the Callaway Paradym X produced low spin rates while at the same time, making it easier to turn the club over.
I was feeling more accurate with the Callaway Paradym X; but the draw bias may be a problem if you already tend to draw the ball or hit it straight.
“The Callaway Paradym is great for players who want more workability. The Callaway Paradym X is more forgiving and can help you avoid slicing.”

In 20 Words Or Less
“The Callaway Paradym Hybrid seems to solidify the overarching motif of the Paradym series: straight flight and accuracy.”
Callaway Paradym Hybrid – First Impressions
“We were glad that all the logos and coloring were left on the sole.”
The crown looks clean at address which is good because so many new Callaway clubs have honestly looked a bit busy and distracting.
The Callaway Paradym Hybrid has a reassuring look at address as well because of the extended toe-to-heel length.

“If you’re looking for help with your slice, check out the Callaway Paradym X Hybrid.”
The Callaway Paradym X Hybrid is weighted to have a semi-draw bias. It also has more offset than the standard Callaway Paradym Hybrid.
For these reasons, it may be even more useful if what you really need is forgiveness.

Who is the Callaway Paradym Hybrid For?
“We would say that this hybrid would be best for mid handicappers.”
We’re not sure what Callaway was thinking when they suggested that the Callaway Paradym Hybrid was best for mid to low handicappers.
Almost all of our low handicap testers mentioned that the Callaway Paradym Hybrid was pretty much unworkable.
And while it’s a good hybrid for moderate swing speed players, the launch is actually a bit too high to be favorable for players with 90+ MPH swing speeds.
Instead, the Callaway Paradym Hybrid seems ideal for mid handicappers with some good usefulness to high handicappers as well.
The Callaway Paradym Hybrid would also be a good hybrid to consider if what you need is straight flight.
The face feels really solid; but also a bit lifeless at impact. But we can overlook that in light of the stellar accuracy and comfortable turf interaction.
