We caught Cody Gribble on the practice green testing two Scotty Cameron 009 putters. The Scotty Cameron 009 is a very popular head on professional tours, and it's similar to the Newport you can buy at your local shop. It typically has a slightly wider body with a thicker topline. The heel and toe bumpers are a little larger, more rounded, and a little softer. The flange is a little thicker, and depending on the neck, it can have some softer edges as well.

The first 009 that Cody has is a carbon steel head that looks to have a darker version of the Chromatic Bronze finish. There is always a debate about the feel between carbon and stainless, steel but a lot of people claim that they feel carbon is a little softer if all things are equal in the putters. The carbon steel version has some great Scotty stamps in the cavity including the Scotty Dog, Smiley Face, and a Circle T crown. The bumpers feature the Titleist script and the iconic 009 on them in white and red paint. The face contains a "GRIBBS" on the toe and the dancing Scotty Cameron text, with a Circle T, on the heel. A single site line sits on the topline – and we don't know if there is anything on the sole, since it is covered with lead tape.

The silver putter is made from stainless steel and is a 009M, or Masterful, putter. The Masterful marking means that it was milled on a newer 5-axis machine and requires much less hand-finishing to complete the putter. Cody went with far fewer, and more simple, stampings on this head with only the Circle T and 009-M in the back cavity. The face has his name "CODY" stamped on the toe and "SCOTTY CAMERON" in a larger font on the heel. This putter again has only a single site line on the topline and the sole is covered with lead tape. The milling on the face does look like a different pattern, but it is hard to tell if the depth is any shallower. Both putters are using the Dancing Cameron No Cord grip and steel shafts.

Tour Edge has proven that its Exotics line pushes the limits of club performance over the years. This year, the Exotics line has two new hybrids to suit your game and help you hit more greens or fairways. The E723 is a hybrid designed for maximum forgiveness and high launch while its sibling, the C723, is adjustable and made for players looking to work the ball.

To listen to the full review, click on the YouTube or podcast link below or search GolfWRX Radio on your favorite podcast platform.

The C723 is exactly as Tour Edge describes — compact and adjustable — for the more skilled player who is looking to add a hybrid to the bag. I love adjustable hybrids so you can dial in the performance to your setup with ease. The 19-degree head I was hitting can play between 17.5 and 20.5 degrees of loft with the lie angle ranging between 57 and 60 degrees. Now the loft and lie are not fully separate and some loft settings only have a specific lie, but still very useful.

The C723 went right to the course and on the first hole I noticed a flatter trajectory that had a more boring flight off the tee. Shots off the deck are actually easier to elevate than I thought but again offer that flatter ball flight. Ball speed is great and distance is effortless when you strike it in the center, or close to it. I also noticed impressive distance on shots off the toe when you would expect to see a bigger decline in a smaller club head. Shot shape is very neutral, and the C723 isn't looking to help you draw the ball. Forgiveness on off-center shots is better than you would expect and shots stay online fairly well. Overall, this is a great option for players looking for a players hybrid that offers adjustability and added distance.

If your hybrid needs include distance, higher launch, and forgiveness, then the E723 might be the hybrid for your bag. I might actually like the larger look of the E723 hybrid compared to its smaller sibling, it gives you the confidence that you don't have to hit perfect shots to see great results.

Out on the course, or range, you can immediately see the launch difference as the E jumps up and off the face quickly. The flight is high, and I could tell the descent angle was steeper than the C. The Ryzersole gives you solid turf interaction on tight fairway lies and gets through that nasty rough fairly easily. Just like the C723, this hybrid offers some really good ball speed even when you miss the center. Those off-center shots stay online really well thanks to the weight in the head being back and low. Draws are much easier to hit with the E723 and straight shots wanted to fall just a little left of target.

Sound and feel are great with both heads and shots are met with that familiar stainless steel "ting" that we know so well. I think the E723 fits a wide range of players that can benefit from some extra distance and a little higher launch to reach those greens in two.

Tour Edge has again done a really good job with giving golfers some exciting hybrid options with the new Exotics. Whether you are looking to work the ball and adjust your hybrid to fit your bag or you just want a hybrid that is long and easy on your poor swings, I think you need to try out an E723 or C723 hybrid.

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)

Paradym Triple Diamond: Project X HZRDUS Black – Custom Night Mode Cosmetic 60 (stiff, x-stiff)
