Callaway Golf’s new family of Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers, Fairway Woods, Irons, and Hybrids will be available at retail beginning Jan.26. The company says each club is “designed with extensive player data” and a new Ai Smart Face to create sweet spots across the entire face.
Some Callaway staff players are putting the clubs – specifically the Ai Smoke Driver – in play at this week’s The Sentry at Kapalua on Maui.
Here’s a closer look:
Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers
Callaway says the Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers ($599.99) represent a “quantum leap” forward in its Ai journey, with the most sophisticated face they’ve ever created from player data and machine learning. The Ai Smart Face, according to the company, optimizes driver performance using swing dynamics from thousands of golfers. By leveraging Ai and Machine Learning, these swing dynamics are used to create over 50,000 virtual face prototypes, optimizing performance for each head shape.
Four models are available: Ai Smoke MAX is suited for every level of player with a forgiving shape and adjustable perimeter weighting for up to 19 yards of shot shape correction. MAX D is built with high MOI, and a generously stretched profile for players looking for shot shape correction. Triple Diamond is for better players looking for increased workability, and MAX Fast promotes lightweight, easy-to-swing performance.
Paradym Ai Smoke Fairway Woods
The Paradym Ai Smoke Fairway Woods ($349.99) feature Callaway’s Ai Smart Face. Every face is designed to optimize launch and spin, creating sweet spots across the entire face. Based on player testing and feedback, the Callaway engineering team focused particularly on improving performance low on the face, where a lot of misses with fairway woods take place.
Four models are available: Ai Smoke MAX is the most extensive offering for consistent launch and a neutral ball flight. MAX D is built with high MOI for players looking for shot shape correction, and Triple Diamond is suited for better players who want more workability. MAX Fast is the lightest weight model, providing a forgiving shape that’s easy to launch with draw bias.
Paradym Ai Smoke Hybrids
The hybrids $279.99) each use Ai Smart Face to promote maximum distance with tight dispersion into the green. They feature a shallower profile for high, easy launch while the Tungsten Speed Cartridge creates exceptional distance. A more pronounced sole camber offers enhanced turf interaction, ensuring precise, clean contact
Three models are available: Ai Smoke features a brand-new contemporary design with a larger profile for amplified forgiveness and instilled confidence at address. Additionally, a more pronounced sole camber offers enhanced turf interaction, ensuring precise, clean contact. Ai Smoke HL is designed to increase distance, improve launch, and tighten dispersion. And the lightweight Max Fast promotes more swing speed and launch.
Paradym Ai Smoke Irons
A “total revolution” in iron performance from Ai Smart Face. With the Ai Smart Face, Callaway says these irons promote exceptional distance, tight dispersion into the green, and optimal launch in a modern construction. The new shape consists of longer blade lengths, thinner toplines, and optimized sole widths to create a forgiving, yet streamlined look at address. And an all-new Dynamic Sole Design features a pre-worn leading edge with variable bounce that cuts through the turf with extreme efficiency.
Three models ($999.99 for set of 7) are available in this game-improvement lineup: Ai Smoke is best suited for golfers with average to high swing speeds looking to maximize distance and improve dispersion. Ai Smoke HL is made for higher launch and more spin for players that need those added benefits. And MAX Fast is built to optimize swing speed and increase launch.
