 We have one simple question to answer in today's video and that is quite simply which is the best driver from the Callaway paradigm or Callaway big berth at 23 and if I can't give you a definitive answer I will at least highlight the differences between these two extremely popular drivers. Now the first thing we're going to do is going to make sure to keep everybody happy. We're going to put exactly the same shaft into both drivers ac yn y cwysig, rwy'n rhaid i'r awr i'w ddechrau'r gwaith, yw gwaith y 10-sig blw 55 sgwyd. A'i gwrthi'n gwybod, rwy'n gweithio'r r-ch-gwyd, sy'n gwneud y gwaith i'r bwysig y 2023. Ond, rwy'n gweithio'r llyfr yn y pwysig, y same sgwyd, ac mae'n dweud y dyma. Rhaid, sgwyd yn, a pwynt weithio'n dweud, mae'n allan o ddata. Rwy'n ddweud, We're at Cardin Parks Custom Fit Facility and we're going to be using Trackman and we're going to get, like I said, the data that we require to separate these two in terms of performance, or at least that's what I hope. But the key separators are going to be on-screen for you now and there's going to be a detailed description in terms of a specification, what Callaway is saying at least, on how these two clubs differ. Now, I'm not going to go through every bullet point, but what I suggest you do if you're really interested, pause the video right now, take a look at the two line-ups in terms of their technical specifications, in terms of what technology is supposedly packed into these two driver heads. Work out the difference, but for me the difference is really, really simple. First of all, the major one is the profile of these. In other words, the shape of them. Significantly different. You don't really need to explain the difference. One is very much triangular, one is rounded more traditional, but even in the paradigm a slightly odd shape than I would associate with traditional shape drivers. There's then that view from the crown in terms of the visual in terms of colouring. Again, very different from each other, but there is also one other major separator and that is the visual offset at address. And it's significant because don't forget, the big birther line-up in full is designed to do one thing. It's aimed at golfers who've sliced the ball and therefore there is significant offset, less so notable on the paradigm. There's a little bit there, but it's a more neutral setup. So, what I'm expecting to see is a more straighter ball flight to neutralise my own personal fade with that big birther 23, but obviously if you draw the ball then it's not something you would be looking to go towards. Anyway, that's it. That's all I'm going to say. No more in terms of how these things look. I'm going to talk about how these two things perform. I'm going to start off by collecting five pieces of data using the paradigm 10-side blue, stiff shaft, 55 gram. Right, we've got a ball loaded. I think we'll stick around and let's get the first one underway and out there. Right, come on hand. Five decent shots with both is what we're looking for. That's a superstar with paradigm. The one thing I will comment on when I move over to the other driver is the difference in sound and feel. I find it super soft with a paradigm, a slightly odd sound to me, very different than I am used to. It's more muted than a lot of other drivers. Right, five more shots and let's see or four more shots rather and let's see what we end up with. In terms of date that is, but first ball flight really good. Other points to mention before I switch off 10 and a half degrees worth of loft on both heads as well. It couldn't be any more identical in terms of the kind of the setup of the two. Tell you what, stick around for one more. Let's have ball number two and see what we get. Again, interesting ball flight. Pretty much exactly what I'd be expecting. I've got custom fit for this driver head with this shaft. It's pretty much doing what I would expect. So what happens when I switch over to the other driver? I'll collect three more with this and then I'll pick up the Big Bertha Swap Shafts and have a little bit of a chat about that one as well. Now I talked about highlighting the differences between these two and I've one vital element that I have missed out and that's the ability to move weight in the paradigm which you clearly can't do. It's very much fixed weight in terms of the BB-23. So there's that sliding weight, we've seen it all before, moves to it, draw or fade bias. For clarification, as you can see, it's set up in the neutral position. So shouldn't have had any bias one way or the other. If I can find my setting, we're going to change things up into this BB-23 hugely different visually. Do you know what, if I'm perfectly honest with you and I've said it on all the videos, I'm not overly struck on either of them in terms of shelf appeal. They're not, they're not crying out to me. It's been a bit of a controversial one. Paradigm is very different, Big Bertha very traditional in terms of what it's looked like for a number of years. I'm kind of okay with it but not loving it. But look at the shape and again you get some pictures thrown over for you now. Hugely different in terms of the way that one looks at the dress but in terms of the crown that is but then in terms of offset massive. Right, let's move back, let's hit some golf balls. Okay, first noticeable thing is, well first of all it went off really well. Really pleased with that strike. We're one ball in so maybe I'm just being a little bit presumptuous here in terms of what I'm going to say but ball flight already seems to be launching just that little bit higher. Totally different sound than paradigm. I think more what you'd expect to hear from a Callaway driver if you've played them before this sounds the same. Paradigm to me is super, super soft and sounds very different than anything I've heard before from Callaway. I like the Big Bertha line-up. I mean I had issues with the offset on my personal sort of set up on my eye but I must admit from a performance perspective for somebody who hits a left to right shot predominantly it did a good job of straightening me out. It's just getting used to it really and being satisfied that you can get your alignment right at a dress which I always seem to be fiddling round a bit with. That's a super ball, again. I mean visually it looks higher than the balls that I hit with paradigm. I might find out that I've got that completely wrong when we look at the data later on. Do you know what? I mean perfectly honest with you in terms of like the sound and feel I prefer the Big Bertha. It's just maybe it's because what I'm expecting to hear but I've never been overly keen on the way paradigm sounds and yeah switching between the two I always say if you're going to if you're going to spend 500 quid on a driver I would try as many as you possibly can but I'd also try and fit them in into a similar session that you can't hit sort of 20 balls with each you'd be absolutely knackered by the end of the session but when you put a driver side by side in these kind of head to heads you really start to notice the differences between the two so it's more noticeable than I've ever thought in that sound difference department by going from one driver to the other. I'm not really picked on it so significantly before in its individual testing. I find the Big Bertha line up just super easy very playable now that wasn't very good our horrible swing we've got a bit of a big cut potentially one of the problems with Big Bertha but they seem to have eradicated is they did a weird thing I don't know whether you remember from the original review they've shifted weight forward which would normally be associated with a low spinning driver and they've tried to by reducing spin the reducing left to right spin was their idea their concept very different than sort of standard thinking because normally in this type of driver CG is way back and all we're looking to do is get the ball sort of launching high they've managed to do a great combination of both things so stabilised spin at realistic levels so when I did the original test and again we'll see later it wasn't kind of ballooning it 3000 revs or higher it managed to maintain a real good spin number and launching the ball high as well you might as well stick around for one more that's better well that's a lot better solid right I'm going to hit one more ball and then we've got our five of each well have a look but my opinion is I think I already know the difference between the two might be ones that we expect but let's have a look at the data now arguably data is always going to be the sort of well it tells the truth there's no kind of hiding from it and what I'll do rather than go through each individual shot I'll throw you up some averages we're going to concentrate on four parameters and that is club at speed ball speed launch angle and the carry distance that's all I'm interested in in today's video first of all look at the average in terms of the ball speed club at speed probably half a mile an hour separating the two it's an average don't forget over five shots so pretty much where I'd be swinging within myself if you like as I would try and do on the golf course that's what I'm trying to replicate here in and around 95 96 miles an hour is bang on the button for me right then you look at the ball speed in relationship to that club at speed 142.1 141.8 0.3 mile an hour separating the two in terms of ball speed nothing to split the two there look at that launch angle it's a bit of an interesting one because there must be an outlier area somewhere because we've got yeah we've probably got one ball so we've got 15.1 on the paradigm 14.5 on the big birther just looking through the data I've got one ball that I hit low I mentioned to you on the actual record and we got it I think it was the second or third shot came out a really poor shot 13.4 launch one ball and I think that's sort of really sort of skewed the numbers in fact what I'll do I'll take that out and I'll throw up on all that average with that taking out and see what difference it makes because take my word for it overall I'm just looking at the other shots the big birther seemed to be a higher launching ball anyway then you get to the carry distance 228.7 227.9 you know whatever is 0.8 in terms of carry distance I don't even bother putting the spin number up there because honestly it's impacting very little whatsoever I'm going to put up a dispersion chart though every ball of mine again I don't know if my alignment was perfect or not but we seem to be I was pretty happy that grouping was good and you can see they're just right of the centre line I see that's more to do with where I'm aiming rather than where because the grouping on both is pretty damn good to be fair right that's data what to tell you what have we learned well I said I'll try and identify the differences between the two and what separates these two I'm not sure we've done it in terms of data because what I'm reading if you're seeing the same as me is they've pretty much done exactly the same damn thing and you wonder why the two drivers exist because ultimately in terms of carry distance they're the same in terms of ball speeds they look the same so it goes back to the first thing that we spoke about and the differences that I said which are the way this the way the two drivers look it's that simple to me it's what suits your eye if you need offsets and you're fighting against the sort of the fade the big birther 23 all day long for me personally I'm not fighting against the fade but I still prefer the performance of the BB 23 for me if I was choosing one of these two drivers I'm I still not overly keen on the shaping and profile of the paradigm so yeah I'm a bit I'm a bit sort of in between on both the drivers on a personal level but I think that the differences that split these heads as we've seen before once you've got the same shaft in as each other nothing is splitting them in terms of performance and ball speed the choices you're going to make are based on personal preferences and you know mine is not going to make any difference to yours right that's it oh we made sense we did our best to separate the two I'm not sure what we quite did there'll be plenty more of head-to-head's coming it's a long time since I've been back in the bay looking at data analyzing performance we'll be doing that quite a bit of it over the next few weeks so make sure you stay tuned subscribe hit that notification bell give me some feedback let me know what your thoughts are have you tried both of these drivers did you find similar or did I get this one completely wrong let me know and I'll see you tomorrow night
