Our first look shows off a strong heavy rolling Paragon Shadow that will clearly like some volume.

Power Player’s Persective
Let me reintroduce Jason as a higher rev lefty who is tossing some Brunswick family pieces with us. His game kind of speaks for itself. Like me, he also uses 14lb equipment. As you can see he’s playing way deeper than what I typically plan to accommodate his power style. WIth the Paragon Shadow, you can quickly see it’s that big core digging ball. This is near the top of the bag type ball. The cover has good strong traction. So he is playing in the meat of the volume of the pattern. The core gets going but the QR-12 Hybrid cover still allow for strong backend. This is the kind of ball that helps blend the pattern with the huge core. But you can’t miss big in or out. So the window of forgiveness is in both directions but on center if you know what I mean. It’s too strong to make a big miss in and too early to make it back from a big miss out. It’s not quite Strong Defined but a good bit more than Mid Defined. Really kind of similar to the spot I put the Black Widow 3.0. So there is a quick look at the Paragon Shadow.

Thanks for watching.
