We are back, baby!!! The last time I was on-site for a PGA TOUR gathering it was at the RSM, and WOW, has some stuff happened since then. Paradym is off and running, we are two for two in 2023, and this week we have the Big 3 (Rahm, Xander, Burns) in the field in Palm Desert, Ca. It’s already looking like a crazy week, and the energy on and around the truck was unlike anything I have ever seen…EVERYONE wants a Paradym.
On site, we had: Tour Manager Joe Toulon, Performance Reps Kellen Watson, Johnny Thompson, and Dean Teykl. Tour Techs Greg Shaw and Simon Wood. Wedge Master to the stars Anthony Taranto and Odysseys Cody Hale and Eric Stubben.
Enjoy the Gallery
Callaway Tour Performance Trailer 8:18 AM PSTBuild Sheet #1 was a fun one “Bez” tested the new Paradym Hybrid…He absolutely stripes this thing which of course gets my brain going. Bad back in Maui….absolutely FLUSHING IT TODAY. Xander is back. Yes, this is legal…it’s a Sharpie MarkNew #teamcallaway member and a buddy of mine Chris Kirk paid a visit to the truck to get fairways, irons and wedges dialed. Kirky is a total gear head and has a workshop at home…the guy is not afraid drill some holes to get to a swing weight.And his Apex MB’18 Raw are a site to behold. CK and Kellen Watson going over the specs.
Wanna know if a driver is good? How about 3 non-staff Major Champions asking for the Paradym:)
Former #1, Major Champ, Ryder Cup hero and he has GoldFormer #1, PGA ChampionRyder Cupper, PGA Champion I’ll say this now, THIS thing, Paradym STD Fairway will be the sleeper TOUR hit of 2023. She was definitely turning heads all day. Why? Launches high, spin window is ideal, it’s phenomenal on thin strikes and sits FLUSH to the ground. Tour guys kind of LOVE that.
Love that 21* hybrid replacing some 7W and standard Paradym working on low center strikes (face was optimized for that)!!! Hoping to see some Jaws Raw get in play & Anthony stamping live 😬😏😏
It’s called the Standard Tour. Same as Paradym but with a hair lower launch and spin. Still TBD if this or the Standard head will get more play. 85-90% of our players will be in TD. Yes the same as the stores.

Johnny,
Whats the driver that has the forward weight of the TD, but a rear slider track like the standard?? No markings as to the model on it…
