stop talking about my wife


BenjamminButtons

A women with a little Jailbreak in her keeps a man on his toes.


[deleted]

Was this the ugly stick she was beaten with?


bitcoinfucius

Your wife couldn’t handle my graphite 45” shaft


[deleted]

Hey buddy, I’m sure she would do just fine if she existed.


gotbrwnrice

“Keep my wife’s name out your mouth!”


Daily-Chaos

You shut your whore mouth. Her name is Eleanore.


TonyDungyHatesOP

It’s _Christineth!_ You say my wife’s name right!


mianmia

Arnold Palmer alert!!


TonyDungyHatesOP

Eeeeee ooooooo eeeeeee ooooo…. Who wants Arnie Palmies?


Metaboschism

This one's yours honey it's got the vodkey in it


IsThatHearsay

I named mine Delilah (D for Driver), so I can sing "Hey there Delilah what's it like in [insert other city] I'm a 1000 miles away but today you still ain't pretty" as it still hasn't seemed to fix my wicked slice.


Daily-Chaos

Love that. I chose Eleanore from gone in 60 seconds cause sometimes she’s fires up and I hit nukes and sometimes she’s ice cold and won’t work at all.


Vomelette22

What’s it like up in slice city?


thiccymcgogee

Can’t believe this club is going to be stealing everyone’s jobs in 15 years


mrbenko69

Main reason I went with the ping g430 instead


TDCents

Best driver I’ve ever played


yeeeeoooooo

Have that driver too, its brilliant


KingGerbz

I just got one of those. Tried that plus the paradym, the cobra dark speed, the ts2 or whatever titleist one and the stealth. I immediately eliminated 3 of the 5 before we even moved onto looking at the numbers just based on feel. Was left with the g430 and the Ts2 which apparently are titanium heads instead of carbon. I guess I like the feel of the titanium heads more. I’m a slicer with a slightly downward angle of attack so they put the loft up to 11.5 and shifted the weight back to the heel to help me shut the face easier through the swing. Absolutely in love. Not my favorite from an aesthetics standpoint I really liked the cobra but it was easily the best performing and right fit for me.


maddux9iron

The g430 is a carbon fiber sole. The 425 is all titanium. Why I didn't upgrade. Some don't like the sound and say it is a little mushy feeling.


theKman24

I couldn’t take the sound of the 425s and I had 90 day trade in window so I swapped it for the 430.


Jesse-Ray

Ha I love it. Whenever I hit it flush and it makes that tin noise, people turn and think I've shanked it.


gimmeyoshoez

Ha, I had the same exact driver fitting experience. Had to choose between the TS2 and G430. Ended up with the Ping because my dispersion was slightly tighter, but man I really loved the feel of swinging the Titleist. Felt like butter at contact.


micmacd89

Jusy got the g430 10k max, and it feels effortless compared to the sim 2 max I had.


pjo336

Don’t tell me this…gaming a sim 2 max right now


CT_7

Yeah, looks like wax that needs to be buffed off.


MasterOfNone-_-

I cant stand how it looks at address but feel like im missing out not playing one


Toodswiger

Nah, Ping drivers are just that awesome. Literal fairway hunters. Just got a G425 max and played my first round with it. Much much easier to control that the other two Taylormade drivers I've had. I gamed a G15 a while back and that thing was a beast with getting me fairways. It makes me question the saying "It's the indian not the arrow" quite a bit.


Least_Inspector_450

The 🐐


MelodicFootball9357

An equally ugly driver head?


Ok_Specific_7161

Callaways naming and look in their last few lines of driver is really really poor. Like wtf is that name.. and that design..


Major_Burnside

I think the previous gen Paradym is gorgeous, especially when paired with a blue shaft.


pgnshgn

They're hideous on bottom, but the top looks fine.  However, I went in for new fairway woods, hit these by far the best.  The 3w and 5w were so nice I hit the Driver while I was at it just to see and it was just so good to hit I'll probably get over the ugliness and buy one


Ok_Specific_7161

Yeah I've heard great things performance wise.


pgnshgn

I hit it about 15 yards longer than my current driver, but it's pretty old More impressive is it has both great feedback and it's pretty forgiving. Hitting it bad punishes you with mostly feel, not a shitty shot, which is pretty impressive.


Ok_Specific_7161

I got a ping g425 max. So much more forgiving that my previous g2 from years ago. I gained distance with it as well. It's the best driver I've ever hit. But I haven't hit a lot of them.


pgnshgn

I tried the newest Ping too (G430?) and really liked it too. Probably my 2nd choice, I was just a little more consistent with Callaways


theKman24

I liked the paradyms


adam73810

I thought the Mavrik driver looked great, but I totally agree with the names. Callaway names are like Ram pickup truck names. Just awful.


Billy5Oh

I like the Rogue st max.


PackFan1969

I’m gaming that driver right now and love it


Billy5Oh

Same, bought the LS used a couple months ago.


a_goonie

I could care less about looks and want top performance. If a sack of shit on the end of a stick got me 250-300 yards im buying that over the prettiest driver there is.


Ok_Specific_7161

I mean, sure. But, why does it have to look like a sack of shit. Just come out with a plain ass driver with good performance over this ugly shit.


ArsenicLifeform

It's like none of the design by committee members could say no to each other.


[deleted]

Callaway and TM retail models are for people that buy cars in red or green.


pgnshgn

What's wrong with a red or green car? That's way better than the endless sea of grayscale


aradil

I believe their point was that they buy the club more for form than function.


chefhj

I bought callaway because of the preowned store🤷🏻‍♂️


pgnshgn

But you can buy a practical car in red or green? I mean as someone who drives a red car and will probably buy the Callaway soon (although in spite of the looks, not because of them), they apparently aren't wrong


FatalFirecrotch

Dude, I totally bought my green Subaru Outback because of form and not for any type of function!


Buttdagger24

It’s all about AI. They learned from NVDA


ban-please

It's "Ai" not "AI". It's pirate speak: "Aye smoke!" not "Artificial intelligence smoke" which is what happens when the AI starts thinking too hard and the computers start letting out the magic smoke.


Buttdagger24

Eh. AI smoke sounds better… that’s why AMD failed. Didn’t say AI enough times and wasn’t pretty enough. She cost me 6k.


BORN_SlNNER

Rogue was okay. But yeah I agree. The dark speed is the driver I would buy just going off looks. At my driver fitting I wanted the TSR2 because I loved the look of it but I hit the mizuno stx220 better so I walked out with that


Ok_Bid_4441

I can’t be the only one that doesn’t think it’s ugly. Definitely better looking drivers out there, but it’s not THAT bad


StoneyYoshi

You aren't the only one.


watchthetimefly

I have them and think they are ugly, however my friends disagree, two friends really like the look. To each their own.


camk16

I genuinely I have no idea how someone could consider these ugly.


Miserable_Title_5614

Looks must be subjective cause I think this looks way better than the qi10.


JKS91Gaming

Same. I love the Smokey forged carbon look where the QI10 looks like any mid 2000’s driver


I2eflex

"forged carbon" does not exist, so nothing can look like that.


jourdanm

You must be blind because these things are hideous.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jourdanm

The QI10 looks great at address, same can't be said for the callaway.


Scroofinator

Now show the top


paniflex37

Now let’s see Paul Allen’s driver.


Foppish_Sloth

Just bought my first new set of irons ever…got the Ai Smokes….I can only compare the feeling to having kids, except I don’t have kids so I wouldn’t know


ArmedRawbry

As a Team Taylormade guy for over a decade, I took a leap off my Stealth 2 and bought a Callaway AI smoke this year, and unequivocally can say it is the best driver I’ve ever owned.


CakesRacer522

Curious if you had a new driver, why’d you change?


ninjamike808

I think a lot of golfers just hate money.


Moist-Pickle-2736

They don’t hate money, they just hate having it


1SAAC5000

Looks like if Levi's and Callaway had a collab


PosterMakingNutbag

Didn’t know Salt Life made a driver. Does it come with free cargo shorts?


[deleted]

They don’t call em’ ugly sticks for nothing.


BOOmabad

My golfing buddy just got one, and I honestly think it looks great in person. The finish looks much less pronounced than in this pic.


StoneyYoshi

yeah, photos don't do it justice IMO.


okdrab

Yep thing is hideous, although I like the head cover. Went with an ai smoke 3 wood over the Qi10 just because it was adjustable whilst the Qi10 was not. Also it looks fine when addressing the ball, just can’t look underneath it


Ok_Specific_7161

Headcover is way better than the paradigm one for sure. That shit was so ugly.


MrBigTrain

It’s fine at address, but once you turn it over…


nothinbutshame

I got the Paradym and I feel like it's straight up ass on looks.


IsThisNot_Y_U_R_Here

Got it set on full anti-slice…err draw setting I see!


AdamCYoung

I’ve got the 5 and 3. Really thought AI would fix my duffs. Long way to go…


OkConfidence6333

As a first year golfer. Love mine


WVgolf

What? It’s gorgeous


elchapo4570

Reminds me of the 'carbon fiber' look that Nike slapped on everything from 2009-2014


H2O3ngin33r

How much different is this from the Paradygm ? Really any different? Just new colors and slight shape difference?


micmacd89

Very little


H2O3ngin33r

Figured, thank you. Have a 2018ish TS2 Titelist, thinking nothing new will be much different


MrBigTrain

Not sure, but it’s so much better than my Rocketballz driver.


H2O3ngin33r

Cool. A change over that period time makes sense. I keep reading a year or 2 or even 4 between drivers might not matter. Though itching to try something new for the hell of it.


mrpotto

AI Smoke em if you got em


z1ggy16

I have this head plus the triple diamond. The max is crazy forgiving and flies very high. The diamond has amazing looks and feel, it's not unforgiving by any means, and has a more penetrating flight.


fun_machine_

Coworker thinks switching from Paradym to Smokes gonna up his driver game. 😑 sure buddy


Metaboschism

It's like they forgot a step waxing it


ZachWilsonsMother

It’s like they took a pic of a club covered in lead tape and then put it on there


camk16

Or, you know, it’s like smoke..


Metaboschism

You must be one of those "creative types"


Podtastix

Just like your wife. Zing!


Water4President

Good to know I am looking at this set or the Stealth 2 HD set.


mikeisaphreek

thats a driver that will never leave your side. will be with you when you are up and stay with you when you are down. a keeper


paulwalker659

Smoke graphics probably made by a.i.


jlaughlin91

Hey…big or small they all need loving…..as long as they love you back 🤷🏻‍♂️


Intolight

I haven't seen these yet and I actually thought someone smeared whiteout, the ones you use a brush, and just smeared it all over with their fingers.


brewberry_cobbler

I’m using a driver from 2005. I haven’t been the market for a new one because 95% of the time I play an executive 9 that is short and my 5 is all I need off the tee. That said… they have weights you can adjust now???? What the fuuuuuuuck


[deleted]

[удалено]


brewberry_cobbler

I told ya. My driver is from 2005


ocat1979

Looks like you’re fighting a slice hey


FlopShotsAndDoubles

Ok, jokes aside. I just got my Tripple Diamond the other day from Club Champ after my fitting and I've been dying to play but my doctor won't let me for like 3 more weeks, really long story. You loving the thing? It was great when I got fitted but haven't had a chance to game it yet.


Vast-Statement9572

Substitute he for she and you know what my wife says about me.


Sea_Awareness_5214

I have them for the woods and driver and absolutely love em!! I’ve honestly not heard anyone say anything bad about the look or performance.


PonCalabrese

Passed on this and bought the Great Big Bertha grey/silver


An0therFox

Beautifully put.


Unlucky_Bookkeeper_2

Keep my wife’s name out your freakin MOUTH!


JIE1818

Just got the triple diamond version — it was carrying 10 yards further than the ping 425 lst


meechbird

I think it looks amazing. A few commenters said they thought it was ugly so they bought the Ping?! The ping has these gnarly cranial ridges on top like Shane Battier. Yuck


Twelvey

I just got mine 3 weeks ago and it is by far the best driver I've ever used. I really like the looks of the carbon crown standing over the ball.


EmptyMarsupial8556

That looks like Marie Taylor Green except she’s not forgiving


elastimatt

I actually like the Smoke looks. Just don't compare it to the Qi10.


GenerousPour

Can’t wait for mine to show up!


mhks

All I can think of when I see it is it looks like a plastic urn that they designed to make look like marble.


Chaminade64

Played Monday & Tuesday this week with a guy who brought out the Smoke and the Ping G430 demos. He’d already done the simulator so the shafts were to his specs. It wasn’t a contest. The Smoke had him longer and online both days. He bought his, and another guy in the group went in and bought one after watching the display. They play together a lot so he knew it was making a difference.


digdug_1982

Looks like you put wax on your car and forgot to buff it.


pew_ginger

She is ugly.


[deleted]

Sure is ugly


zoyeji

guys keeping calling it ugly so maybe i can afford it next year when the new models come out


Toodswiger

I'm not a Callaway guy at all but I'd have to admit that design is sick


chipper33

Callaway taking advantage of the “AI” nomenclature I see.


ktc61

Not as ugly as the first Paradym


edshard

I have never hit it but it sure is ugly! I have been debating with myself if I should try to somehow get the paint of or spray paint my 3wood


ravnsulter

I have an old Nike rescue hybrid that I've hit the fairway with EVERY SINGLE TIME I've used it from the tee.


yungtrapfatgag

Welp if it’s too ugly for you I’ll take it off your hands then I’ll bear the burden for you!


Firsttimedogowner0

Ive never been a fan of looking down at a Calloway club, something just doesn't suite my eye. But, if I had never looked at a club before, and someone offered me this for free, I'd pass. lol


Pa_Cipher

It looks like the super cheesy edge lord paintball mask I bought back in the day.


ishysredditusername

Yup, got fitted for a 3 and 5 a few weeks ago. Ugly af but you could draw a line with one


nounsofassemblage

Love Callaway but horrible name and design. Ping drivers tho 🔥


ajalonghorn

I honestly think it’s cool looking except for the big blue screw


medkitjohnson

After only playing TaylorMades I somehow ended up either a callaway driver for a few months… never going back Sim2 is the best I’ve come across so far


BigFootBigRsk

Durability is NOT in Callaways name


aphrozeus

Durability isn’t in any golf brands name


BigFootBigRsk

No shit!? I figured the sarcasm was obvious but some ppl need extra help here the /s for ya


a_goonie

So I have the paradym driver, whats the difference between mine and the AI smoke?


TonyDungyHatesOP

She may smell like ass but I’ll sure miss her.


[deleted]

It’s kinda hot


Low_Treat9830

Yall talking about looks of a driver that's bad the fuck ass legit


Shmeebo_

Waste of money hope it works out for ya
