Callaway Golf has this week introduced its new night mode Paradym drivers.

Along with the new sleek black design, the drivers feature the same benefits offered in all previous Callaway Paradym drivers (read our launch piece here for more on the Paradym).

As a reminder, the drivers feature a 360-degree Carbon Chassis designed to promote unprecedented weight redistribution for maximized distance. The Triaxial Carbon crown and Forged Carbon sole are 44-percent lighter than a titanium chassis. This massive weight savings is repositioned both forward in a bid to enhance ball speed and toward the back of the clubhead for increased forgiveness.

Callaway's A.I. designed Jailbreak system seeks to provide stability in both the horizontal and torsional direction, while with a 33-percent lighter weight design, the designers enhanced stability in design for faster ball speeds.

The driver heads feature a refined shape with high MOI and adjustable perimeter weighting. Per Callaway, from a 15g sliding weight, players can experience an average of 12 yards of shot shape correction.

The Callaway Customs Night Mode (Paradym and Paradym Triple Diamond) clubhead profile is sleeker and darker in a limited edition design, and the drivers are available to purchase from June 14th for a price of $699.99 per driver.

Lofts: 9, 10.5 degrees

Shafts:

Paradym: Project X HZRDUS Silver – Custom Night Mode Cosmetic (regular), Project X HZRDUS Black – Custom Night Mode Cosmetic 60 (stiff)

Dustin Johnson emerged as the champion of the 2018 RBC Canadian Open. He secured a three-stroke victory to claim his third win of the season and 19th PGA Tour title overall. Johnson finished with a score of 23-under-par, setting a tournament record. His exceptional performance included a final round of 6-under-par 66, which propelled him to the top of the leaderboard.

It was DJ's first win in the RBC Canadian Open, and he became the first world number one-ranked player to win the tournament since 1981. Additionally, Johnson's triumph came just a week after a disappointing finish at The Open Championship, where he held the 54-hole lead but ultimately finished tied for second.

Golfers on professional tours use a wide range of wedge lofts to hit the shots they need in order to score well. Not many of us amateurs go with a high-lofted lob wedge like Joey Garber's 64-degree Vokey. His Vokey is a prototype but there was a 64 W Grind that was available to us in a limited edition through Vokey's WedgeWorks program. The W Grind offers a wider, low-bounce, sole for firm conditions and courses with lots of elevated greens.

Vokey describes the 64 W Grind

"The 64W is a unique wedge made for players who play in firm conditions, golf courses with elevated greens and tricky short-sided lies. This wedge is made for the player with quick hands who likes to see the ball elevate quickly, the fearless player who isn't afraid to attack any pin. The sole is a medium-width sole with slight camber and an effective bounce of 4°."

It looks like Garber's wedge might have a little more bounce than the retail model as we see a "9" stamped in the Proto stamping on the toe. He has also gone with what looks like a raw steel finish over the retail model's black finish.

A Mitsubishi MMT Scoring Wedge 125 TX is the shaft of choice and the wedge is finished off with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grip.

Our tour photographer was out at the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Korn Ferry Tour and snapped some shots of a new Aldila Rogue wood shaft. The Rogue name has been synonymous with cutting-edge technology and tour use since it was released almost 10 years ago. Aldila hasn't given us any details yet, but the shaft has been available in Japan for a few months.

The logo looks to be the image for "infinity" after the Rogue text, so that could be a clue to a future name for the shaft. I did some searching and found some specs from a listing for a Japan version of the shaft, so these might change by the time we get the shafts here in the United States. There is also a logo for a "Dual Torque Core" technology that was described as an "ultra high modulus carbon for the entire length of the shaft." The description was a little washy on the launch of the shaft as part of it described the Rogue as a mid-launch while another section stated high launch and low spin.
