This golf irons comparison features three new distance golf irons in 2023 — the PING G430, Callaway Paradym, and Srixon ZX5 MK II. Each of these irons is designed to deliver explosive distance through their own unique innovations and technologies. But how do they compare on Trackman?
In this video, 2nd Swing’s Drew Mahowald and Cameron Fitzer conduct a Trackman Test featuring the PING G430 irons, Callaway Paradym irons, and the Srixon ZX5 MK II irons.

Loving my Paradyms so much more accurate dispersion & distance
All of the ping g irons are definantly game improvement irons. They are huge! Super thick sole and top line, as well as long blade length. They are also loud and feel really hard. The other 2 are much smaller, better looking, and softer sound and feel.
I have the PING G430 irons. While the lofts are stronger and go a few yards farther than my G425s, I'm blown away by how high the irons go. Most distance irons are simply "jacked up lofts" that go lower. As always, PING promised this with the G430s and they delivered.
Really like the Paradym which surprises me because I don’t usually like the one year and done irons that share the name of that years driver release. However, so far reviews have concluded they feel nice and go far but they always seem to spray the ball left, right and centre.
Would interesting to have Mizuno jpx 923 hot metal pro included in this comparison
ZX5 all the way because it performs, good looks and you can mix in the other models from the line.
1:50 and 8:00 Ping G430 7-iron loft is 29* not 28.5*. I like the looks of the Srixon best, but on performance I like the Paradym. Ping G430 is more user friendly with the longer head and a good choice if you tend to hit more off-center shots. For those who prefer even more distance there is also Paradym X with a 7-iron loft of 27.5*, and Ping offers both "power loft" and "retro lofts" – 27.5* and 31* respectively for 7-iron.
