Callaway Paradym 23 Forged 455 Single Irons & Wedges

The Callaway Paradym 23 Forged 455 Single Irons & Wedges are part of the 2023 Paradym lineup, designed for golfers seeking a players’ distance iron with a refined shape, premium forging, and exceptional performance. Featuring an A.I.-Designed Forged 455 Face and Speed Frame construction, these clubs deliver fast ball speeds, high launch, and a soft feel, making them ideal for low-to-mid handicappers (4–12 handicap) looking for distance and workability. These single irons and wedges are perfect for custom set building or replacements.

• A.I.-Designed Forged 455 Face: Industry-leading A.I. face technology optimizes each club face for maximum ball speed, higher launch, and consistent spin, creating Callaway’s most powerful forged iron face for enhanced distance and control.
• Hollow Body with Speed Frame Construction: The Speed Frame adds stiffness to the hollow body, supporting the thin Forged 455 Face Cup for fast ball speeds and stability, even on off-center hits.
• Urethane Microspheres: Patented microspheres deliver an ultra-soft feel and premium sound, reducing vibrations for a forged-like experience that discerning players demand.
• Dual Tungsten Weighting: Up to 67g of internal and external tungsten weights are precisely placed to lower the center of gravity, improving launch and forgiveness on mishits, ensuring shots hold greens.
• Refined Players Shaping: Features a thin topline, minimal offset, and a pre-worn leading edge for efficient turf interaction, offering a compact, workable profile with added forgiveness.

Performance Notes:

• Player Profile: Suited for low-to-mid handicappers (4–12 handicap) with average to high swing speeds (90–100+ mph driver speed), seeking a blend of distance, workability, and moderate forgiveness.
• Distance and Forgiveness: Testing shows 5–10 yards more carry than traditional players’ irons (e.g., 7-iron at 170–180 yards for 90 mph swing speed, ~5,500 rpm spin). Offers moderate forgiveness due to tungsten weighting, though less than game-improvement irons like the Paradym X.
• Feel and Sound: The forged face and urethane microspheres provide a soft, explosive feel with a crisp “click” on center strikes; mishits produce a slightly duller sound but maintain decent performance.
• Shaft Options: Stock shafts include True Temper Elevate 95 MPH 2023 (Regular/Stiff, steel, ~95g, mid launch/spin), Aldila Ascent PL Blue 50 (Light, graphite, ~50g, high launch), and Project X HZRDUS Gen 4 Silver 65/75 (Regular/Stiff, graphite, ~60–70g, mid launch). Custom shafts available (e.g., KBS, Nippon).
• Grip: Stock Callaway Universal 22 Black/Dark Grey (51g); custom options like Golf Pride MCC or Tour Velvet available.
