Callaway Paradym Star 2024 Single Irons & Wedges
The Callaway Paradym Star 2024 Single Irons & Wedges are part of the 2024 Paradym Star family, designed specifically for golfers with moderate to slower swing speeds seeking maximum distance, high launch, and exceptional forgiveness. Featuring a lightweight construction, A.I.-designed Forged 455 Face, and Speed Frame technology, these clubs are optimized for easy swing speed and impressive carry distance. Ideal for mid-to-high handicappers, seniors, or players with swing speeds under 85 mph, these single irons and wedges are perfect for custom set building or replacements.
-
A.I.-Designed Forged 455 Face: Utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize the high-strength Forged 455 face for maximum ball speed, high launch, and consistent spin, delivering exceptional distance across the face.
-
Hollow Body with Speed Frame Construction: The Speed Frame provides structural support to the thin face, enhancing ball speeds and stability, while urethane microspheres dampen vibrations for a soft, premium feel.
-
Lightweight Design: 33g lighter than standard Paradym irons, with a ¼” longer shaft and lightweight components like the UST Mamiya ATTAS Speed T1100 graphite shaft (50g) and Winn Dri-Tac Lite grip (44g), boosting swing speed for moderate swing players.
-
Tungsten Weighting: Internal tungsten lowers the center of gravity, promoting high launch and forgiveness, ensuring shots get airborne easily and carry farther.
-
Increased Loft and Draw Bias: Engineered with more loft (e.g., 30° 7-iron vs. 27° in standard Paradym) and a draw-biased design to correct slices and maximize straight distance for slower swingers.

Performance Notes:
-
Player Profile: Best for mid-to-high handicappers (15–30 handicap) with moderate to slower swing speeds (60–85 mph driver speed), seeking easy launch, maximum forgiveness, and distance. Ideal for seniors or players with limited swing speed.
-
Distance and Forgiveness: Testing shows 5–10 yards more carry than standard irons (e.g., 7-iron at 135–145 yards for 70 mph swing speed, ~6,000–6,500 rpm spin), with high forgiveness due to the lightweight design and tungsten weighting. The draw bias helps correct slices for straighter shots.
-
Feel and Sound: The Forged 455 face and urethane microspheres deliver a solid, premium feel with a crisp sound on center strikes; mishits, especially toward the toe, may sting slightly but maintain decent distance.
-
Shaft: Stock UST Mamiya ATTAS Speed T1100 (50g, Senior/Regular flex, high launch). No steel shaft option, emphasizing lightweight performance. Custom shafts available (e.g., Mitsubishi MMT, UST Helium).
-
Grip: Stock Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 Lite (44g); custom options like Golf Pride CP2 Wrap or Lamkin Crossline available.
