Driver

Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond

Kim has a full bag of Callaway equipment in the setup at the moment. He starts with a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver, which replaced his Rogue ST model. With its 450cc clubhead, the TD driver is the smallest of the three in the Paradym range and there is no alignment aid on this version of the driver. In our testing we noticed big distance gains over the previous Triple Diamond model but we should also acknowledge that we were lacking consistency when compared to the standard model. His driver is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft which is a model that has proven to be very popular out on Tour.

Fairways

Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond

He then had two Callaway Rogue ST LS models in the bag but these have been replaced by two Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond fairway woods with 13.5 and 18.5 degrees of loft. It is a low spin fairway wood that combines classic shaping with modern technology for impressive ball speeds. It was one of the fastest fairways we have tested in 2023, long and accurate and would make a great back-up to driver on tighter courses. Both of these fairway woods are fitted with Fujikura Ventus Black shafts with the three-wood using the 8 X, and the five-wood has the 9 X design.

Irons

Callaway X Forged CB

Having previously used Apex MB's and Apex Pro's, Kim now has a set of Callaway X Forged CB's bag which go from three-iron down to pitching wedge. The irons have a traditional look at address but the new design feature is the tungsten weighting screwed into the back of the head. From a feel perspective they are buttery soft with a premium golf ball and provide a good level of workability when needed. All of his irons are fitted with KBS Tour V 125 S+ shafts.

Wedges

Callaway Jaws Raw

He then has two Callaway wedges, the first of which is 54 degrees and is a Callaway Jaws Raw design, and he also carries this wedge with 60 degrees of loft as well. Looks-wise, it features the same shape and visuals as we've come to expect from the Jaws range. It is well designed and features a subtle weight system that helps players bounce the club off the turf.

We were really impressed with the spin on offer from the club's micro-grooves and Raw face. Spin on shorter chips was impressive and the control this wedge offered over a variety of different shots is what stood out most about this club.

Putter

Odyssey 2-Ball Ten Broomstick

His final club in the bag has recently changed. He was using an Odyssey O-Works Rossie Prototype but this has changed in 2023 as he now uses an Odyssey 2-Ball Ten Broomstick putter. 

Ball

Callaway Chrome Soft X

Finally he also uses a Callaway's Chrome Soft X golf ball featuring Graphene - one of the strongest materials known to man. The 'X' model delivers lower spin and firmer feel than the regular Chrome Soft for faster swinging players.
