The new Paradym Ai Smoke driver represents a quantum leap forward in Callaway’s Ai journey. This new family of drivers features the most sophisticated driver face in Callaway history, the Ai Smart Face. This face uses real player data and advanced machine learning to create a series of sweet spots all over the face.
Callaway Golf’s 2024 Paradym Ai Smoke Driver lineup:
Paradym Ai Smoke Max – Most players, from high handicap amateurs to Tour pros, who want maximum distance and forgiveness with shot shape adjustability. The Paradym Ai Smoke Max has a forgiving shape and adjustable perimeter weighting to deliver up to 19 yards of shot shape correction.
Paradym Ai Smoke Max D – Players who want to hit a draw for straighter drives off the tee. The Max D Driver is built with high MOI, and a generously stretched profile at address. Also includes a rear weight that stabilizes the head and increases launch.
Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast – Players who want easy launch with lightweight, easy-to-swing performance. The fixed hosel and rear weight is perfect for players looking to optimize distance.
Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond – Shaped with a neutral-to-fade biased face progression and a compact 450cc head size. For players looking to increase ball speed and lower spin, a 14g weight can be repositioned from the rear to the front for great workability off the tee.

It’s a big day a day I’ve been waiting for for a long time we’re at the elely Callaway performance center and today I’m going to test and tell you all about the new paradigm AI smoke there is a lot to unpack here lot of exciting stuff to
See and hit I can’t wait uh let’s head to the tea and let’s get all the 411 on Paradigm AI Smoke okay let’s talk about Paradigm AI smoke the development of any driver comes with it a bunch of robot testing but robots aren’t golfers robots are on the golf course playing it’s us it’s human beings you need player testing human testing to get a face that’s actually going to be quite smart to
Think like us to help us to be that extra guide on a golf course so we have that now because Callaway R&D went out and got over 250,000 swings and millions of lines of codes of data and inputed that into our AI supercomputer and we
Came up with AI smart face the face is tailored and basically enhanced to deal with any swing type angle of attack and anything you can think of this face will harmonize with that swing path or That Swing type there’s four models here I have the Paradigm AI smoke Max in my
Hand you have the Max D which is your draw bias model there’s of course the triple diamond the ROM xand or S Burns favorite and then there is a Max fast for your slower swing speeds probably a great driver for my dad so we’re going
To hit a few I’ll kind of tell you through the story as we go but uh I just I don’t to sit here and hold this thing all day it’s time to hit some shots Paradigm AI smoke let’s hit some so one of the things that you learn
About with AI is obviously it’s all this player data that’s put into this supercomputer and essentially what it comes up with is what we call Micro deflections so that’s how we tune the face to be supportive in the places that it needs to be so you get the ball speed
And the Forgiveness but essentially it means better golf shots lower scores all that stuff so I’m going to hit this Max head for the first time not going to go full tilt just going to make some swings and see how this thing feels looks amazing a little bit out of the tow on
That one so the thing about these micro deflections is they actually counteract gear effect which is essentially the twisting of the head so if the face is tuned which is interesting that using player data to do all that but if the face is supported in certain spots where
You’ Mish hit it the twisting isn’t going to affect that shot that much so essentially what happens if you hit if you miss hit a shot out to the toe it moves the head around which is going to change the direction change the strike change everything about the golf shot
But if you have a face a smart face that’s there to kind of combat that or mitigate that you kind of got something hit that one pretty good what I’ve noticed is that like what it’s doing is it’s softening some of the edges on a heel hit or a tow hit so so
Like when you feel like you really hit it out of the toe not only is the feel not that bad but the shot doesn’t have those violent right turns or left turns or spikes anywhere like in in in the uh in the data here ball speeds are up um
From where I usually am at the day the last one I just got to 162 and that’s not humming for me but that’s up there like that was way out of the toe that’s crazy still got 159 ball speed still got 2334 spin the launch was good the direction was fine it didn’t
Dive on me and that was way way way way way out here like that shot typically with any other driver maybe not Paradigm but drivers in the past I hit it out there I am not hitting that shot so to be fair this is going to be like a three or four
Video conversation to really figure out what one of these is right for me and exactly what these can do but there is more to come on all this I’m really excited to hit the Max D head um obviously the Triple Diamond Head is going to be the one I’m going to lean
Towards but um can’t actually wait to get this to the golf course to see how it performs out there uh but if you have any more questions on Paradigm AI smoke the whole Paradigm AI smoke platform uh go to Callaway golf.com world of Wonder website to me it’s just the tip of the
Iceberg what these guys can do with a driver putter anything you can think of uh it is the time of AI and we are all here for it from the te I’m out of here

Wondering if this is worth the upgrade from my current Rogue ST Max?
This one sexy looking driver! Dang it! I'm probably going to need this in the bag soon.
