It's officially equipment launch season, and Callaway is first out of the blocks with its new Paradym Ai Smoke family of golf clubs.
The new range features drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons, and in this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the new line.
From price to tech, we've got you covered, including reviews of all of the new clubs.
Let's get into it.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke: Everything you need to know
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Driver
1. Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers
Callaway's new Paradym Ai Smoke drivers will be available in four distinct models: the Max, Max D, Max Fast and Triple Diamond.
Max: For players who want consistent launch and a neutral ball flight.
Max D: Suited best for players looking to hit a draw.
Max Fast: Designed for players looking for lightweight, easy-to-swing performance.
Triple Diamond: Will suit better players looking for workability off the tee.
All four models will feature a brand new Ai Smart Face, which optimises driver performance using swing dynamics from thousands of real golfers. These swing dynamics, or Swing Code, consist of swing speed, club delivery, and face orientation just prior to impact. This promotes optimal launch conditions and tight downrange dispersion.
The new Ai Smart Face also features micro deflections, which are activated upon impact, helping to optimise launch and spin on off-centre shots. The result is sweet spots not just in the centre but all over the face.
The 360° Carbon Chassis has been refined to promote increased weight distribution. By adding an internal titanium support structure, the Carbon Chassis is now 15% lighter. This mass has been redistributed into the head to improve launch conditions and add forgiveness.
The Max model also features adjustable perimeter weighting, allowing golfers to fine-tune their desired shot shape.
Much like the Ai Smoke drivers, the fairway woods will also be available in four different models: the Max, Max D, Max Fast and Triple Diamond.
Max: For players who want consistent launch and a neutral ball flight.
Max D: Most forgiving shape and highest launch with draw bias.
Max Fast: For golfers seeking lightweight and easy-to-launch performance with draw bias.
Triple Diamond: For golfers who want to work the ball, and typically have faster swing speeds for a penetrating ball flight with lower spin.
Much of the same tech that is featured in the driver range can also be found in the fairway woods, including Callaway's new Ai Smart Face and the innovative new micro deflections.
The woods also feature a tungsten speed cartridge that was utilised in the original Paradym range from 2023. The cartridge allows weight to be pushed low and forward to move the centre of gravity in the head for optimised launch and spin.
All four models also feature an adjustable hosel, which allows users to fine-tune launch and spin.
The Paradym Ai Smoke family of hybrids features three models: The Max, HL and Max Fast.
Max: Designed for players with average to high swing speeds looking to maximise distance and improve dispersion.
HL: Designed for golfers looking to maximise distance, increase launch, and tighten dispersion.
Max Fast: Designed for players looking to increase swing speed, launch, and spin to achieve maximum distance and proper gapping.
Callaway's new Ai Smoke Hybrids feature the brand's new Ai Smart Face and the innovative Tungsten speed cartridge, allowing golfers of all abilities to launch the ball high while maintaining distance and forgiveness.
The hybrids also feature a more pronounced sole camber, which offers enhanced turf interaction, ensuring precise, clean contact.
Callaway's new range of Paradym Ai Smoke irons fit nicely into the game improvement category. The range has three distinct models: The Ai Smoke, HL and Max Fast.
Ai Smoke: Best suited for golfers with average to high swing speeds looking to maximise distance and improve dispersion.
HL: Made for golfers who need higher launch to maximise distance.
Max Fast: Made for golfers who need to optimise swing speed and increase launch to maximise distance
The full range of Paradym Ai Smoke irons features Callaway's new Ai smart face, which is designed with the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to promote maximum distance and tight dispersion.
Through Ai advancements, golfers can also experience the distance benefits of ¼” longer clubs in the mid and long irons while maintaining tight dispersion into the green.
Featuring a hollow body construction, the new, modern shape consists of longer blade lengths, thinner toplines, and optimised sole widths to create a forgiving yet streamlined look at address.
The all-new Dynamic Sole Design features a pre-worn leading edge with variable bounce that cuts through the turf with extreme efficiency. The design promotes crisp contact on all shots and is engineered to provide exceptional forgiveness.
