Callaway Paradym Star driver. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
Price: $699.99 with UST Mamiya ATTAS Speed Series 40 shaft and Winn Dri-Tac Lite grip
Specs: Titanium face with carbon fiber crown and 455 Carpenter steel cup face. 10.5 and 12.5 degrees
Like the standard version of the Paradym driver, the center portion of the Paradym Star is made entirely out of carbon fiber to allow engineers to shift extra weight to the back of the head, to increase stability. However, instead of sliding a 15-gram weight in the back of the head, Callaway added a 3-gram screw. The Paradym Star does, however, still have Callaway’s updated internal Jailbreak with Batwing system to help redirect more energy created at impact back into the ball.
Designing the Paradym Star with a lighter weight in the back, removing the tracking and forgoing an adjustable hosel helped Callaway design this driver to be 38 grams lighter than the standard Paradym. It also comes with a 40-gram shaft at 45.75″ and a 25-gram grip, so golfers should be able to swing it faster with the same amount of effort.
According to Callaway, the Paradym Star produces the highest ball flight among the Paradym drivers.
