Who would love these
The Paradym X Fairway Wood is ideal for mid-to-high handicappers who need help getting the ball airborne and want maximum forgiveness on off-center hits. If you're looking for added distance and struggle with consistency, this is a great fit. However, it's not ideal for advanced players who prefer shot-shaping and control.
Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Callaway Paradym X Fairway Wood stands out for golfers looking for maximum distance and forgiveness. What I appreciate most is its larger profile and high-launching characteristics, making it perfect for golfers who need help getting the ball airborne from any lie. The face feels explosive, and it's incredibly forgiving on off-center hits, which makes it great for mid to high handicappers or those who struggle with consistency.
That said, it may not be the best option for players who prefer shot-shaping or a more compact, tour-like profile. It's designed to maximize distance and forgiveness, so it may lack the fine-tuned control that more advanced players look for in a fairway wood.

· SPEED & STABILITY FROM JAILBREAK WITH BATWING TECHNOLOGY
The A.I. Designed Jailbreak Batwing structure is pushed to the perimeter to stiffen the body, while allowing the face to flex for high ball speeds.
· A PARADYM SHIFT IN DISTANCE FROM PATENTED USE OF FORGED CARBON
The Forged Carbon sole enables unprecedented weight redistribution for maximized distance, higher MOI, and our longest fairway wood ever. Featured in the 3W, 3HL, & 5W Models.
· OPTIMAL LAUNCH WITH MORE SPEED FROM THE TUNGSTEN SPEED CARTRIDGE
By incorporating up to 23g of high-density tungsten, we can push the center of gravity (CG) low and forward. The result is optimal launch and spin, with more speed for maximum distance.
· NEW A.I. DESIGNED HIGH-STRENGTH FACE CUP FOR OPTIMIZED DISPERSION
We’ve applied an all new A.I. face optimization to include speed, launch, spin and now downrange dispersion. The unique face pattern is customized for each model and paired with our high-strength C300 maraging steel face cup. This promotes impressive speed and consistency across the face.
· HIGHEST LAUNCHING WITH SLIGHT DRAW BIAS
The Paradym X fairway wood is built with a more upright lie angle and a neutral face at address. This model features the most forgiving shape of all Paradym models and will produce the highest launch with a slight draw bias. An adjustable 3W gives the golfer the ability to even further dial in launch.
