Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver

The Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver is designed for golfers with high swing speeds who want to achieve maximum distance and low spin. It features a compact, 450cc head shape with a 360º carbon fiber chassis, as well as Callaway’s Jailbreak A.I. Velocity System and Face Cup technology. These technologies work together to deliver a faster ball speed and more forgiveness on off-center hits.

The Looks

Catching the crown of the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver in just the right light reveals a sleek dark blue carbon crown. Not only does this crown look sweet, but it also reduces weight from the top of the club it can be strategically located in more optimal places in the head. The carbon crown transitions into a gun metal black topline that looks really clean behind the ball. From address, the more compact 450cc profile is really noticeable and it has a nice “player preferred” pear-ish shape.

How Does it Feel?

A major focus with all of the Callaway Paradym drivers is the stability in the club head. Callaway’s Jailbreak technology has evolved into the latest Jailbreak A.I. which is lighter weight but still creates rigidity in the head to prevent energy loss at impact. This is primarily to benefit ball speeds off the face, but it also impacts the feel. The Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver has a very solid feel. I’d say that it doesn’t really have that “springy trampoline” feel to it, but there’s definitely “life” in it. It might just be my subjective feeling, but I feel like you have to have a good bit of swing speed to really feel the Triple Diamond’s pop. Slower swing speeds may not find it to be as “lively”.

How Does it Sound?

The Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver has a muted, lower-pitched sound at impact. Again, I believe this has a lot to do with the rigidity of the head, but the 360º carbon chassis also plays a large role in dampening the sound as well. The ball comes off the face with a satisfying “thwack” letting you know you really caught one pure. That sound turns into a very faint, somewhat dead “tick” if you don’t find the sweet spot. I can’t speak for the other Paradym drivers, but I will say that I don’t find the Triple Diamond’s sweet spot to be all that generous. That said, it’s designed for the higher speed, better ball strikers so that’s fair.

On-Course Performance

Callaway advertises the Triple Diamond as the lowest launching and lowest spinning of the Paradym family. Boy, they aren’t lying. With the stock Mitusbishi Kai’li White shaft that came with it, I could barely get the ball off the ground. Just too low, but fast, ropes tearing ahead of me. I’d bet my average launch angle was somewhere around 5-6º of launch! While the ball was coming off the face plenty hot thanks to the Jailbreak A.I., and Callaway’s combination of the Speed-Enhancing face cup and forged titanium face, this was launch was just too low to be playable. AND that was WITH the 14-gram weight in the back. Thankfully I had my VA Raijin Black shaft that I’d previously seen success with in a Callaway driver. Once I made this change, I started seeing numbers that led to the average data above.

The more compact shape of the Paradym Triple Diamond lends itself to more workability. With the heavier weight in the lower-spin front position, the workability is even further enhanced. From my experience, this driver is great for general shot manipulation either direction and up or down. I will say that I struggled a bit to get the ball in the air when I wanted to get more height, but I assume I could improve this with further testing of some loft adjustments.

Final Thoughts – Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver

If you have a higher swing speed, aren’t looking for a ton of forgiveness, want to be able to shape your drives, and want fast ball speeds with definite low launch and low spin, the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond is worth checking out. Players looking for something a little more forgiving and easier to hit may want to consider the draw-biased Paradym X or the standard Paradym models.

I will tell you, there’s absolutely no question that there’s a lot of speed in the Paradym Triple Diamond. It’s absolutely one of the hotter drivers I’ve hit in recent years. I think the big deciding factors will be the driver’s more “solid” feel, how consistently players can find the center of the face, finding enough carry yardage, and how tight they can keep their dispersion. If a golfer has the game for the Paradym Triple Diamond, it should certainly be on the list to check out for new drivers.
