Thanks for watching the Golfalot Callaway Paradym, TaylorMade Stealth 2 & Ping G430 Fairway Wood Review

Tricky. I would not pick any as I love the one I have. Im not a big fan of changing gear too often.
Just who is paying £379 for a 3 wood when you can get the 2022 version still in the wrappers on eBay for £150?!
Recently rented Ping G425 full set, and the driver and 3 wood and 5 wood were the longest, straightest easiest clubs I have ever hit. I playba Cobra RadX from a TM M2 and my friend plays the Sim2 Max and these Pings destroyed them.
great numbers!
I love your reviews, Sophie. Excellent information delivered with an incredible smile. Well done, Sophie!
Of the three I would be most interested in the Ping. Smart choice would be the Callaway for the consistency, but, Ping moving out of their stability “comfort zone” has me intrigued. Unfortunately, ALL of them are severely over priced. Sign of the times? Yes! But now these companies are making it too expensive for most golfers to keep up with the changes.
👍👍
I am good on D, woods, and Fairways
No need for woods or a driver. I am looking into those paradym irons though
Great test! I wondered while watching some of those Ping shots go left if maybe the flat setting on the hosel would have straightened it out. Lots of great fairway wood offerings this year. I would love to see another video in the future on the lower-spin fairway wood models — how the Paradym Triple Diamond, Stealth 2 Plus, etc. (and maybe include the G430 Max there too if the LST version isn’t out yet) compare to the TSR3 you were fitted for last fall.
Awesome comparison. Hoping you review 7 and 9 woods. Now if I only had your swing.
TM vs TSR 2.. What's your pick?
Sophie I think all 3 are very underwhelming, I prefer the tsr2
All 3 look like good options except for the price. I just bought a Cobra ltdx 3 wood at a great price and I'm more than happy with it. I just can't pay those new club prices.
I'm looking hard at the Stealth 2 TI in 5w turned down to 17. Would be an awesome low spin bomber to go with my g425 7w. The SIMs and org Stealth was just too low spin. I'm hoping the sliding weight helps that.
Great video Sophie 👌🏻
Ping, the sound might sound like @##@ but who cares?? As a high handicapped player, it has never let me down with its forgiveness. Absolute fairway finders.
I can’t believe how people say am not sure about the name omg stop stop please 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ and the headcover 😂😂😂
See you left the clear winner out the Aerojet to make it fair nice of you
The stealth 2 not being adjustable was a major knock for me and ultimately made me choose between the callaway and ping. Just much better way to dial you in especially those who need a degree or so for optimal launch.
The only one I haven't hit yet is the Ping G430, I currently game Sim2 Max 3 and 5 with the stock OEM shaft, the Stealth 2 wasn't even close to those for me and the Paradym was even with those clubs. That being said, I will probably hit the Paradym again as I wasn't striking it well that day, I ws striking the Stealth 2 and my Sim 2s well the day I hit them and it wasn't even close, I think the stock Stealth 2 FW shafts just weren't the correct shaft for me. I hit the 3wd best with a Graphite Design shaft, and I am not paying that much for an upgraded shaft, TM choices of OEM shafts weren't the best for me this go around.
I'd love you test a kasco or orlimar wood against the modern clubs.
I really can't see the point of these comparisons unless you were fitted for each club and getting the best out of them. But hey, if you're in the market for blowing £300 without fitting then straight off the rack the Stealth 2 is best 🤦
Great comparison! I love my Rouge ST max 3 and 5 woods for the exact reason you said, shallow face ! Extremely easy and versatile off the turf. And they’re super forgiving. Not going to get Paradym.
This is why I sold my Sim Max 3&5 woods. Too deep faced, very inconsistent off the turf. But they were pretty good off of the tee.
I wouldn’t mind the G430 max but too late now just bought the Rouges in December
I got fitted for a 3 wood only yesterday. Tried all 3 of them. Liked the stealth, good numbers but wasn’t quite as consistent of the deck. Then tried the ping. Way shorter, spin too high and all over the place plus I hated the sound. Then tried the callaway. Looked the best behind the ball, went further and much better dispersion. Everything I was looking for
Please Sophie, we need measured spin!
Excellent comparison and review as always. Would be interesting to see you compare 3, 5, and 7 woods of same make as those of us with a slower swing speed can’t get distance with a 3 wood.
With my club head speed (84mph) and ball speed (119mph] my G410 7 wood goes almost as far as a 3 wood (172 carry, 190 total with 7 wood) so I use a 7 wood all the time and got rid of the 3 wood. I think my 5 wood can go slightly further but only total in dry conditions.
I think Callaway has hit a home run with the Paradym series!
🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲❤️
Really good comparison Sophie. I have hit the Paradym 5 wood in a demo, but not in my ideal shaft. It was pretty easy to launch and felt very solid. I am looking forward to hitting the other two. Last year Stealth FW were in my bag, 3 and 7. The two years prior it was the G410-never switched from to the 425.
Good timing, I have a fitting Saturday to possibly change fairway & driver.
Nice video as always. I tried the ping and the taylormade during a fitting but not the callaway. Still my best choice was the Titleist TR2. Everything was better. Feel, feed back, distance, swing speed, dispersion. after of course it remains a question of personal feeling and often subjective choice as some will swear to you that BMW is better than Mercedes or that Porsche is better than Ferrari. it remains a personal choice which is determined at the level of sensations and results. for me the winner is Titleist. but it is obvious that all these fairway woods are excellent. The only way to find out is to try them and find which one speaks to you.
Fantastic video. Thanks for this comparison. Would love to see you do the same comparison with the drivers from these three manufacturers. Regarding the fairway woods, I have hit the 3-wood for the Callaway Paradym and TM Stealth. Ping not yet available locally. Nonetheless, the Callaway was the clear winner in terms of both distance and dispersion.
Thank you for reviewing the 3 Fairways I'm thinking about. I think your reviews ar the most relevant to most golfers out there due to your swing speed! I'm looking forward to the Hybrid review.I can't believe I just found you recently.
