 Now the problem with Super Game Improvement irons or Distance irons, whatever you want to call them, is they come with compromises. And the iron that I have tucked under my arm right now, well that could be a Super Game Improvement iron, there's absolutely perfect in the sense of there are no compromises to be made. So before I actually start the review and reveal what this iron is, I want to hear from you what you think makes up a perfect Super Game Improvement iron or a perfect iron for that matter. Now one thing you might ask for but very rarely find is a forged face, because what a forged face does in my opinion is it gives superior feel. But like I said, you don't normally find that in a Super Game Improvement iron, but you're doing these. And these irons have got plenty of decent feel. So that's one box ticked. Now the next thing you might want to see is a bit of tungsten in there to certainly help at that long end of the bag. And again, it ticks that box. We've got plenty of tungsten. We've also got a bit of foam injected in terms of hollow bodied head. So everything right now is going towards a Game Improvement iron with, like I said, all boxes ticked. And if it produces that kind of performance, then these could be labelled as perfect. Oh my word, that's just absolutely awesome. And at the short end of the bag, they've got a neat enough kind of profile in the pitching wedge top line. Might be just on that little heavy side, what you'd expect, but the kind of overall profile, heel to toe, the shaping of it is really nice and coupled with that feel, sit down ball. That's a lively green for this time of year at Cardin Park. Then yet again, I've gone from pitching wedge with it 9 iron, we've gone into a 5 iron just off that tee. And so far, these are pretty much the perfect Game Improvement iron. The question is, what is it? Well, I started with it tucked under my arm and it is in fact the Callaway Paradigm, but it's the Paradigm X model. And that's what takes it into a different category in terms of being a Super Game Improvement iron or Distance Iron, whichever you want to categorize it as. But the first thing, in addition to what I've already mentioned, that is really positive about this iron is the shape, profile, overall mass is nothing like what I would expect to see an iron in that category look like. And what I mean by that is, if you take a look at the sole unit, it's not overly wide. If you take a look at the top line, yes, it's wide, but they've used some clever use of coloring to make it look visually thinner than it is at address. But then that heel to toe shaping is really nice, profiled iron. So a Super Game Improvement iron that has tungsten weighting, hollow bodied, some foam injected in there. It's got some tungsten weighting, have I mentioned that? And it's got a forged face and it's got a neat profile. What can you not like about this iron? Well, there are a few things maybe. Today's video is brought to you in partnership with HotGolf, the online golf mega store, bringing you the hottest deals in golf. And of course, the clubs featured in today's video. Find the link to the HotGolf website in the description below and check out some incredible giveaways and offers. Now the first potential issue is something that we're going to find in most game improvement irons and that is the amount of offset that you see at address. And what you'll notice with this five iron that we're looking down on, it's quite significant. Now for me personally, that's a lot of offset. And when I'm teed up in this position, it's almost pointing off down to the left hand side. Now if you're really working against a big slice in your game, which a lot again of golfers that fall into this category would be doing, then obviously that offset can be a potential help. But it's also a potential negative for a lot of golfers who just visually aren't able to get over that. The next thing we're going to try and do is hit a ball from left to right. Yeah, that's work against that offset and see if a game improvement iron is actually playable in terms of shaping a shot. And the answer is yes. And again, a bit of an urban myth in my opinion, in that many people say once you go into this type of iron, it's impossible to shape a ball. We've just been able to hit that with a nice bit of control left to right. And that's even with the amount of offset that is sat on that five iron. So for me, like I said, a bit of a myth. These are also very playable irons. That was also flighted down a little. You can do a lot with this iron shape and head profile that I wouldn't perhaps expect to see in a game improvement iron. And then from exactly the same tee position, aiming straight at the bushes, it's not moved. But that was again, just to see a different ball flight what tungsten does. And in what is a strong lofted set of irons, is it certainly helps with that CD helps with launch. So what you get in there again, is a five iron that helps you launch the ball very high. If that's the type of shot you want to play. And if that's the type of help you want, then that's where you see their help that tungsten gives. It's really hard to find faults, like I said, other than the ones that you would naturally associate with game improvement irons. I've talked about offset, I just mentioned strong lofts. They're probably the only two things you would criticize. But they're not about this iron, they're more about the genre. Why to ask you at the beginning of the video a question, and what would you like to see in terms of or consider to be the perfect super game improvement iron. I think what we've seen so far, I think I can't, well, I can't think of anything else I can imagine a golf club manufacturer can do in terms of this category of iron. What I want to know is, is there anything you've seen in this video that might persuade you to consider Callaway Paradigm X irons? But the bigger question is, is there anything you've seen that perhaps you're using a player's distance iron, a better player's iron, whatever you're going to call it, would you consider sort of moving the goalposts, if you like, for a bit more help, a bit more assistance, and shifting from a player's iron to a super game improvement iron, or a player's distance iron, because I think these are certainly begging the question. Well I was working out how we're going to sort of finish this video and what would be the summary, and I think it's a testament to the fact that I've decided the way I'm going to finish off is hitting a five iron. It's probably the, well it's the longest iron that I've gone, obviously it'd be the toughest shot to hit, and that's because this thing performs incredibly well right throughout the bag, including that five iron. It is extremely strong lofted, but again that ball flight defies that loft, and as golf clubs go, long end of the bag, as you know, I'm suggesting that perhaps you wouldn't even consider going this far, if you did buy a set of these irons, maybe look up to about a six iron, and then swap into some hybrids. But we're going to finish it here, I'm going to hit at that big fir tree, with a better left to right, and let's see if we can execute that shot and finish on a high. Well it's just so so easy, nice easy swing, well it's plugged in the middle of the fairway, but that's absolutely spot on, nice bit of control. What I said earlier on is that you start to build confidence in a ball speed out of this thing, and what that means to me is that I start to swing a bit slower, because I more rely on what's in that club head to fire that ball out, rather than me having to worry about generating club head speed, and for me that is all important to keep that swing tempo in line, and like I said, let the club do the work. So so impressed with them things. Do you know what I'm going to end it there? One request before I go any further that's just come to me is can you please consider following us on Facebook as well, where we've got some interesting different content that we've been throwing up on that page over the last couple of months, so please consider that. So that has me done another video complete at what is fairly windy day to say the least here at Cardin Park. Conditions were tough, but the Paradigm X Irons performed incredibly well. I've got to say they could be perhaps the perfect game improvement iron. So as ever let me know your thoughts if you've tried these things, because they are very much in the shops at retail for you to try right now, so I would be interested in your feedback, as would your fellow golfers who will be reading through those comments and seeing what your thoughts are. Thanks for watching and I'll see you all tomorrow night.
