 Right, hi I'm here at a fairly breezy pool of golf resort in Mallorca and I've only got one thing in mind that's to find out why this is currently by far the number one driver on tour right now. Well this is a paradigm with a slight difference in the fact that it's the Paradigm X and it's very much the most forgiving driver certainly aimed at more average golfers. It's got slight draw bias on it so there's every reason that this would favor my type of golf swing my type of ability. So we're going to go out on the golf course we're going to tee a few up and I'll see if the Paradigm X is not only the number one driver on tour but perhaps the number one driver for average golfers. Well that's staying in the air longer than I expected it to and to be honest you've done far better than I expected it to and why I say that is two things it wasn't the best of swings it wasn't the best of contacts it almost felt like I got a little bit of ground on the upswing there before ball it also sounds quite soft and that sound means that it doesn't feel like in your head at least that it zipped out there but it basically defied how it sounded how it felt and in a positive way because like I said I cannot believe that ball carried as far as it did which suggests the ball speeds were good even off and off centre hit if that makes sense so it's a very positive comment but I'm a little bit surprised just how well that thing did. Do you know again it's fairly early that's only the third drive of the day and what's again pleasing with this is when I first did the review of the Paradigm driver I was I was very much concentrated on the looks in terms of I wasn't a fan of the looks and maybe that literally put me off and I say in a number of videos about looks being really important to some golfers and not to others well for me it is I didn't like the look of it maybe that put me on a down before it even started in terms of the review I tried it against a number of drivers and it performed incredibly well it was very very consistent and again out to you this morning what I'm noting like I said only third driver shot of the day it's cold it's an early start I'm not swinging hard at this thing at all in fact quite the opposite end in terms of swing speed and this ball is traveling it's traveling far further than my sort of swing speed suggests which is similar to what I just said I know on that previous tee shot but that is the most noticeable thing right now that's the bit that is impressing me I'm not swinging very fast I'm not swinging really that well and yet the ball is still getting me down there and seems to be traveling a good distance at the same time that's the bit that is hugely surprising and a huge positive things are a bit different on this whole and really give me an opportunity to find out whether or not I could possibly game the paradigm X driver and what I mean by that is a heavily draw bias driver could be good for me in terms of straightening up what I like to see which is a bit a left to right shot but I'm also used to playing a left to right so I kind of you know my tee positioning alignment would be to hit a left to right so naturally on this hole I'm going straight at those bunkers with a little cut so what I want to find out is when it cuts will it stay straight what does it do in terms of affecting my natural sort of ball flight there you go at the bunker really solid ball I'm going to say at the moment slightly left to the bunker it's gone a whole long way I love the feel and that was a one thing I did pick up on the initial review of the paradigm was very positive about the sound and feel and I cannot deny the fact that the ball speeds out of this thing seem really really impressive because yet again it was inside left of the bunker didn't cut an ounce it's literally gone bullet straight and it's carried right over the pathway into what is the adjoining fairway so my alignment was where I would be ball didn't cut at all that could be a huge positive for me but the bigger one is again the noticeable ball speed and the noticeable carry distance that this thing is getting it's good you know I might be changing my mind big time in terms of paradigm right now right to the golf ball you just seen me hateful that was from a far different location and far different in terms of weather because I'm not sure if you can pick it up on the camera it is snowing right now at hollywell golf pool but that won't deter me I will finish this review of paradigm X and to be honest with you it's blown a bit of a holly it's typical winter conditions in the UK and probably more like what I'm used to so I can give you an almost even more fairer assessment of this golf club's performance right well here's a few more out in the cold and I'll give you my evaluation but that first one off the tee was first swing of the day and I can tell you where it's landed is a whole long way down the fairway now this is where for me it's a hole that I don't always play driver I hit the G430 off this tee box a few weeks back and I basically said it's because it was the most confidence I had in terms of the club in the bag and I feel the same way about the paradigm X so let's see if we can go across the corner with this thing and the answer is yes that's absolutely and that's into a wind into and off the left and trust me that has not moved in terms of no kind of movement in terms of spin neither left or right which is probably the most impressive thing and the thing that I love most about paradigm X is it's very much neutralizing my fade and I can aim straight down the middle or in this case straight across the corner you can see where I'm going with this one today's video is brought to you in partnership with chervo the premium Italian golf wear and sportswear brand by using some of the most innovative fabrics chervo produced clothing that is both stylish and incredibly comfortable to wear both on and off the golf course for more information visit the chervo website and I will of course provide a link in the description of this video right let's get back to the golf right a little bit of shelter before I attempt my next shot the interesting bit for me on this is the sort of shape and profile if I was being perfectly honest with you it's not ideal on my eye it's one of the things that I've already mentioned in terms of my previous reviews of paradigm is that from a looks perspective I'm not overly keen on that address position the other thing with the X model is obviously it's a little bit more draw biased and more offset address and again would normally put me off but both of those things are overcome based on just how good this thing is performing right now the kind of offset and the set up at address is very much like the big bertha b21 in my opinion which I gained for quite some time and again the only issue I had with that drive was that I found that I was sort of messing around a lot at the address position because I was trying to find a comfortable sort of position for me to see that ball at address I don't feel like I'm doing that with the paradigm X and to be honest with you the other big notable thing is I'm just swinging my kind of normal swing if you like so a cut swing but the ball isn't cutting so I'm really seeing the help of that draw bias but again when I played it with the b21 yes it negated the kind of fade a little bit but it also lowered the ball flight it was a bit shut the club face as well at times and I had the tendency to close one off and go left whereas with this I'm sitting in a neutral position the sort of standard position at address swinging my normal swing ball flight is really good and at the same time it's giving me a straight ball flight so all those things are hugely positive and I think that's why this club would appeal to the vast majority of average golfers and obviously because most of us have that cut fade in our swing right I'm going to try one more and I think that's enough to make a decision on this one right take a bit of cover to do the conclusion of this video and oh my word it's pretty horrendous albeit I feel as though the bad weather has followed me around whether I've been in Arizona out in Mallorca or now up in Hollywood but yeah pretty grim conditions but the thing I like about that like I said is the drive itself as well and truly been put through its paces in the kind of conditions at least and I'm used to which is more like this and I've got to say hugely impressive that last drive again super ball flight straight I mean that's the big deal for me straight is the keyword I would use on virtually everything that I've hit and don't forget that someone from someone who effectively fades the ball so ParadigmX is doing what it should do but it's doing it in a way that I think sounds fantastic feel is fantastic ball speed seemed really good we learned that from the initial test in a paradigm it's clear to see why this driver is definitely the number one in the world right now in terms of wins maybe not the ParadigmX but as a lineup Paradigm we've got a winning formula on their hands or Callaway have in the Paradigm lineup I'm literally struggling right now the wind and snow is bouncing off my face I'm going to call it a day hope you appreciate the effort that I've gone through and put this one together it's minus one with a wind chill of about minus five or six I'll see you tomorrow night
