Thank you for tuning in another episode of WGC fits today we have special guests across the board we have Mr Center strike we have Mr ball speed and we are going to talk about the new paradigm AI smoke line so bunch of cool stuff bunch of new tech going on here Trends dressed

You know to match the colorway color coordinated very important he tries you know we all try we all try we all try um all right so Mr Trent we’re starting off with Paradigm AI smoke Max D so let’s talk a little bit about this guy sure

This is the perfect driver for me to start off with h left of the plan hook monster okay we’re on that’s Trent yeah yeah not yeah not the it’s definitely Trent related um so a I smoke mhm so lot the the first thing that strikes me is you

Know I’ve read some of the reviews that of people who haven’t even really seen the golf club in person the pictures don’t do it justice I me personally I like the look mhm I really don’t hit it with the bottom of the golf club anyway I know that they

Were trying to get it to look even though they got the same Paradigm lineage it’s they wanted to make it look a little different than Paradigm so they were trying to make it stand out a little bit no I agree I actually I I like the botom right I know again like

You said we’re not hitting from the bottom but I think that from a bag appeal perspective shelf appeal I think it looks good you know I think it’s a goodlook club they still have the forged carbon which looks awesome and all that kind of stuff let’s hit a couple and

We’ll talk about some of the finer points here get some of your opinions on it okay see what you think I would say from a setup position for a draw Golf Club this looks really good M uh sets up really good got a 10 five okay and this is Tren shaft so everyone

Knows no excuses now this is my first time hearing these in the Bay from like the fitting window mhm that sounds better than I would have guessed yes I would agree with that I mean they did so they took out jailbreak here mhm uh so this is the first driver since the original

Epic that doesn’t have jail break uh the face structure is a little bit better they optimize it more with AI so they could take away that I know one of the big talking points is optimize ball speed across nine points on the face mhm so not only more ball speed comparative but also

Retaining ball speed across the face from a forgiveness Factor correct honestly it doesn’t sound that bad for me no no it’s i’ pay a lot of attention to that doing these reviews like what’s it sound like from a fitting perspective cuz that’s the world we live in

Yes got that one to turn over a little bit more oops not a bad thing not bad can still like it still I love the feel of it feels really good what does it feel like it feels very solid it feels very I guess dent I will say from a feedback

Perspective just from a sound perspective because I haven’t hit it yet right I’m betting you are going to get a hair more feedback from this compared to the Paradigm mhm I like that I like when a golf club has some positive feedback I agree and I think you know

That’s directly attributable to no no jailbreak M um so it’s kind of amazing they get the the same speed uh but giving you a little bit better feedback yeah face technology man it’s what they’re doing and it works and it makes sense hey there we go there’s that one’s

Pounding you tried tried to get get some on that one yeah no I just got in a better position all right so we got one more here and then we’re going to switch it up and we it’s cold out here man I don’t want to hurt myself oh it’s low it’s low

I get to dress warm being the guy who just talks about stuff I got the best job in the house this this is my first driver hit in a couple months two months bang oh that time he did get some on it o 103 mhm okay so we’re going to

Hit the this is the Max D we’re going to hit the max next and for this one we’re going to see a little little Captain ball speed action cuz we thought we’d give you both perspectives cuz this could go either way with a highspeed guy

Or a Sol speed guy oh you’re calling me Sol speed now okay I never said I said slower than me uhhuh well anyone’s slower than you shots fired over here wow jeez now last time we were hitting golf balls towards this greeny and you hit some pretty ridiculous things so I have

High expectations that was not normal well Ian’s not normal no from a speed perspective I fit him for that other one I haven’t fit him for this one yet that’s true you know wait with this is the normal one okay so with the three different models

We have the Max D having just the adjustable weight in the back we have the max having the sliding weight kind of on the back I guess you call it just sliding weight port and then for the Triple Diamond you have the two adjustable weights back in front so this

One also has the adjustable weight in the front as well correct yes so from a swing weight perspective you do that what I like about this one is a square face you know how I am about that mhm it’s got to look Square can’t smell shut

No I feel the dense feeling you said yeah a little more solid right but it’s oh yeah I like it cuz I knew I hit that one right on the screws though and I could tell the first one I just toed a bit well there we

Go he’s he’s he wants that green again that’s what he wants no no talk knocking on 18 at the old course is that what we’re talking about oh yeah y yeah that’s not bad so what do you think look feel everything is this something that you know is something you

Could kind of get comfortable with and kind of see yourself planning in yeah I’m already starting to get comfortable there we go oh look how pain more coming for you he making a play apparently there’s the full cut there’s the full cut I really like the sound

That does sound really good again it’s sounding better than I would have given it credit for just by looking at it so there you go you know I expected it to be a bit louder in all honesty so we’re going to switch it up we’re going to go

Trent now with the max all right AI smoke now we have Captain Center strike over here doing some work now I always forget are you do you normally play like the triple diamond stuff or do you normally play kind of more of that that standard one

Uh I’m more into a Triple Diamond Head Triple Diamond Head okay it’s funny cuz I am a low spin guy but uh I just prefer the look it’s it’s a little bit more fade bias I get that I’m the same way exactly so usually go up and Loft MH so

This one I can I can tell you right now how much more Square it looks than the the Max D head that’s what I meant by the straight face yes yep this is also a 9° loft I was hitting a 105 in the corre the Max D

Head now does this one all have a um yes I honestly didn’t even notice it yeah this one uh the Max D and the max have the Chevron the triple diamond does not triple diamond is going to have that pear shape no sight line yeah just look pretty we’re all very vain

Golfers I honestly just couldn’t remember it the look that driver was really ni that was a bad swing it was St it’s findable it’s good forgiveness it is definitely forgiving because I about hit it I don’t know that I hit it on the face that one caught the

The forged Carbon on the bottom I think so or the forge Carbon on top or some place yeah that was extreme toe that was a little that was a little better there’s more meat on that one that was a little better that was much does sound different than the max

Maxd this definitely has more of a especially when you catch it like a lower pitch thud correct and a lot of that’s probably just the weight the sliding weight in the back versus max C does not have that I will say you caught that one pretty pretty well I mean 149

Smash carry was great that’s low spinning yeah well it’s a ° driver that’s low spinning that was huge oh just get up a little higher that was a good one too I think tren’s trying to chase one out to three yeah he’s trying to get one there he’s trying to

Get right out to that 300 Mark we getting them there I get one didn’t roll oh no catch spin catch spin oh that’s got a Fighting Chance there brother I’m not getting the 178 but I get the come on close he’s close he’s excited now he’s got to get that extra

Gear Trent come on I don’t have that extra gear I’m a lot older than Ian I don’t have that extra gear D I’m a lot older than Ian I got shoes as old as Ian’s going to I think I’m [Laughter] 17 well everyone thinks I’m 45 soine I probably look older than try on camera I have one more one more go for it so initial thoughts initial thoughts uh again different look than the maxd but I like it I mean I I I like when it

Looks as Square as this looks I mean he’s still out here hitting and it’s not warm so yeah that that tells me he likes it he’s got a little smile on it he does he’s like he’s actually going at it right now a little bit he’s trying to

Get one there I like it all right so now we’re going to hit the triple diamond all right so we’re going to do something here with this one where what’ you do no this is set up normal right now you’re going to try a couple of

Things here hold why is this like this hold on already I love the look at this thing broken stupid okay we’re back okay head on assuming what was that slightly smaller head I’m assuming I believe so smaller head pair shape deeper face no sight line set I would say fairly fade

Bias comparatively which is see what you got at 8 degrees uh that’s that’s the iffy keep that in mind yeah that didn’t get like above 80 feet that didn’t get over 50 feet that still1 no I didn’t get the spin over hold on all right okay we’re going to

Get you there it felt good though I I would honestly say it feel softer a little bit well it’s because of the center of gravity well and there’s no sliding weight truck does that affect sound a lot mm does it mhm bring that back wall a little closer I

Guess God that just moves forward go up in the AR oh come on that was better that went higher ride the bullet train God that’s 185 ball speed 307 no spin this this might be the lowest spin that just falls out of the shot pretty pretty scary it’s so low tracking I

Can’t get it I mean they it fairness Ian I mean they did say you know tour level ball speed yeah I mean got to get into it a little bit come on this guys suck High hitting T level [Applause] balls he deid Hees Rory what you got some really high up near

Eight with 1900 spin oh AJ and I just having fun back here yeah you got to have a little bit of fun at work you know it’s important yeah you guys are hilarious so so basically what we’re seeing here is you know you better either have a lot of

Ball speed or you might need to have a lot of spin this is going to be good for the high spin player right it’s going to be good for the guy who’s quite aggressive into it right Eight’s too low for me in all honesty 8 degree drivers right I

Mean when was the last time you fit somebody into an 8 degree driver not many not many not many maybe Kyle Burkshire could fit this but like I can’t get it higher than that you really can’t your stock shot is just hitting these low bullets out there at 320 yards oh that’s fun

More 49 yeah 22 Landing angle I can’t get it higher than that it’s okay this is Bubba’s Stinger shot you got going on yep Bubba is 75 but I think Bubba swings a little faster than Ian to though yeah he does I don’t think so I can that’s about it game

Swing he does all right here’s what I want to do we’re gonna do something so low spin driver there we we have something here that’s going to be like I said good for like you said the guy who’s just a really high speed guy or a

Guy who is a really high spin guy yeah right um good club sounds good right and it’s kind of doing what I expected because we actually have you in a driver even though it’s a low spin driver something that spins a little bit more because you do have really low spin kind

Of profile right um I think we also have you playing at 9 is it nine right now eight it’s actually eight is it eight so we opened it up a touch on the Ping head regardless right it’s close yeah I do want to see something with this let me see but even

More reason why to get fitted because correct you have to it is different specs for everything correct we are going to D build a little it spins way more than this that not even close you know and it’s a low spin driver for that right we’re going to do this I’m up to

Please yes you going to move it up to him switch the weights yes so I want to see the the you you going for your ball speed stuff here I want to see that you know how you get in a few extra miles an hour three swings 10 fig 10ig three

Swings cuz I don’t want you hurt yourself all right but we’re setting this up to 10° and we’re going to set it up to be really low spin oh you’re switching the weights around yep I’ll get that can I hit one normal one and then two funny ones yeah cuz I

Don’t think that Cha’s going to keep up with okay okay we got some Loft this thing looks like a wedge now no it doesn’t yeah there we go a little higher that’s just low I don’t see a lot of shape on this though when you’re actually swimming it it’s really stable very

Stable that’s so freaky dude that’s that’s too low it’s 1800 spin this would be perfect for the old course they can can roll forever yeah is what you this is a great driver for Florida you’re going to hit every po bunker for Florida yeah you’re not flying at pot bunkers might bounce some

Oh challenge accept it tried to get there that went in the trees okay that was 190 yeah that’s pretty good carry 3 330 carry you wanted to see it what was the spin number God 2100 almost 10 almost a 10 launch I need like five more miles an

Hour ball speed no way wait you said you want five I want five more miles an hour I think this this club isn’t stiff enough missed it launched it it launched it but you missed it hey but we probably spun it better look at the Forgiveness

On that thing yeah I tell it a bit if you to 329 crap to it 22 or 2,266 spin right I’ll give you one more power yeah don’t hurt yourself well you go to I got to go up a little more okay this has a solid chance of

Getting where we got you before 194 balls where we had you before yeah there you go nope 270 close 37 you just you just hit it over the 18th green you’re out of bounds you’re the fence it came that not bad though we’re going to have to roll back again yeah I

Need to be rolled back just need to roll back again I’m good I don’t want to get rolled back me neither think me and you go the other way right can I just have some of the in yeah I can’t I can’t get this club higher just put that one in

The third floor of the royal and ancient all right 261 that’s that’s where I hit it yeah there we go see right there 26 261 numbers I hit a little higher than 36 ft though well you know Center strike and all you know oh you move the weights to be EXT extra low

Spinning oh yeah the center gravity that’s why Center gravity is like outside of the club now it’s like Club heads here Center gravity up here so so all right this is the AI smoke wood line um I don’t know I’m pretty excited about these guys what do you

Guys think well my initial thoughts when hit normal was good yeah I think we’re going to do well with these I think that if anyone has any questions about these they should come and see us I think these are going to be really good really fun yeah I think

We’re going to do well with these one for everybody there we go do you want to cut here and just do the irons make a SE video of it make a separate video okay thanks for tuning in another episode of WC fits um stay tuned because we’re

Going to do the irons next please like And subscribe and we’ll see you thanks everyone bye guys
