The irons feature the brand’s Paradym Shift Construction which combines a Forged 455 Face with the all-new Speed Frame.
The Paradym irons are designed for golfers who are looking for a players’ distance iron with a refined shape and premium forging, while the Paradym X irons are designed for golfers who are looking for an iron that’s long with premium forged feel.
Paradym and Paradym X Irons Key Technologies
A.I. Designed Forged 455 Face: Industry-leading A.I. face technology is applied to a high-strength Forged 455 face, creating Callaway’s most powerful forged iron face ever. Each face is uniquely optimized for more speed, higher launch, and increased spin consistency.

Forged 455 Face Cup & Hollow Body with Speed Frame Construction: The all-new Hollow Body design features Speed Frame construction for added stiffness to the body and support for the high-strength Forged 455 Face Cup. This unique construction is the catalyst that stabilizes a thinner face in design for incredibly fast ball speeds.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Wow, Ugly, Ugly and Ugly
Did Callaway try extra hard to make them that ugly?

How much? That’s absurd. But yoyo’s will buy them.

Would be hard to dream up an uglier iron.

They look like 90’s component irons from golfsmith.

Agree. I look forward to seeing how big of trenches the weekend golfers will dig with these
