Callaway’s EASIEST Clubs EVER!? I Thought This Was A GIMMICK!? Callaway’s New FULL SET Of Hybrids!? MOST FORGIVING Clubs EVER!? When buying new golf clubs we often think about what are the best forgiving golf clubs? the best forgiving golf clubs of 2024? the best forgiving golf clubs for high handicap golfers? best forgiving golf clubs for mid handicap golfers? the bets golf clubs for beginners? In this video we take a look at the brand new 2024 Callaway Paradym AI Smoke HL hybrids. These hybrids range from 3 irons all the way down to 8-iron. Could these be the clubs that help you play better golf, lower your scores and maybe even Lowe your handicap? let’s find out… and let’s do it now!

Of all the new clubs coming in 2024 there are certain couple which I think could massively help you guys in terms of forgiveness and in terms of lowering your scores so we’ve just seen the release of the brand new Callaway Paradigm AI smoke range and the driver

Will be getting all the headlines we all know last year’s Paradigm was a spectacular driver especially the triple diamond and the Fairway Woods will also be getting a lot of the spoils introducing the brand new Callaway Paradigm AI smoke hybrids now these are designed to help you massively all the

Way throughout the bag you might be saying James why is that because we all know that a hybrid is basically a replacement for a long ion I can get a three hybrid a four hybrid maybe even a five hybrid if I feel like I struggle from that distance what if I told you

These go all the way down to an eight hybrid you can see here this is what we have and this is a 33 degree hybrid and these are the clubs that I want to bring you guys today and show you exactly why I think they could help your game game

Because not only are we going to test them for numbers but I’m going to test them against my ions and see exactly Loft for loft what benefits you may well be getting with these irons as you can see now on screen there’s loads of Loft on these there’s loads of surface area

They are jam-pack full of technology which I’ll talk you through in this video but to kick things off we’ll put these longer ones down and we’re going to go from 175 yards yes that’s right I’m going to try and hit an 8on hybrid 175 yards consistently now this isn’t

New to me because I actually did a challenge this year and I’m going out to America to do another challenge a very special Challenge on a special Golf Course using the 11 hybrids I really enjoyed them my dad’s using them and he loves them the one thing I’ll say about

These straight off the bat they are not the cheapest of golf clubs 299 each is going to be your retail price but I must say looking down to them I really really enjoy it I love that kind of gray looking head I love that we’ve got lots

And lots of GrooVe lines or sight lines on the face and I also love that trajectory check that out are we going to get there with the first go go a little go a little 160 carry just in the front bunker spinning at 69 spinning at nearly

7,000 for a hybrid the one thing I will say is that shot came out incredibly High you would anticipate that with a club that has so much surface area towards the back here and so much loft on the front the technology in these is really interesting as well so we have

Adjustability in every head these are the HL version of the smoke hybrid and I love the fact that are adjustable I love the fact that you can pretty much hone every single Club in to what you want so if I was going for these clubs I would definitely go for the fitting process

I’d go and try and get each Loft as I want it so I can hit a specific window and the big thing that no one will really test with these and what I wanted to bring you guys is are they versatile can I play these shots and get them to

Come out a little bit lower a little bit further I’ve had a warm- up already with them and I was hitting some really interesting distances especially with this 8 hybrid and you can see there if I I can just compress that a little bit more I’ve pulled it because of the offset on

The face but that one’s now carried 173 so it’s carried the perfect distance unfortunately it’s going to take a lot more than a hybrid to get us out of there but let’s see how many greens we can hit then we’re going to move up to the five and the three hybrid cuz that’s

Where a lot of golfers will potentially think oh you know what this can really help my game I can put these in the bag I can change up that’s a green and that’s 182 yards with an ATI and the spins Dro there to 5,000 you would anticipate a lower spin than with a

Standard eight8 iron and if you have a look at the numbers now on screen from when I tested this against my standard 8on that’s got a very similar Loft on it and so guys I tested my Tacomo 7on at 34° of Loft against the Paradigm 33°

Lofted hybrid and as you can see way more ball speed from the hybrid that’s going to come from more Club head speed from Shaft length and shaft material but very interesting numbers one thing I really enjoyed more about my iron though is just how much more consistent it

Actually was on the hybrid that which depending where you stuck it on the face did offer quite different results instead of consistency is key it’s actually really interesting because one of the things that I’m desperate for with my irons is consistency I want to have the same ball

Flight the same shot window and of course the same front to back dispersion I managed that with my eight in but with this bad boy it starts to move front to back a little bit so yes you’re going to get the forgiveness and I’m well aware a

Lot of people will be saying James these aren’t designed for you not designed for many golfers that don’t want to just make it a little bit easier but I’m all for making golf easier I think there’s more people out there that want to make this easier than potentially a lot of

People do think let’s go one more with the eight can we hit that 175 carry again and then you can hit lovely High towering shots like that and it’s really interesting because when I was out in Dallas for the Callaway launch where we got to see all the brand new products

Coming for 2024 including the new new paradigm AI smoke driver there were loads of people there lots of media there and we were all like oh you’re kind of like kids in a candy shop when you there I’ll let you into a little secret it doesn’t matter how many new

Drivers you’ve seen how many new golf ball releases you’ve seen how many new sets of irons you’ve seen there’s always something there where people go look at that what’s that and that’s exactly what these brand new Callaway Paradigm AI smoke HL hybrids were we kept hitting

The drivers and we hit the Fairway woods and then we were like you know what that’s all good and well these are going to be good yes the ball speed are going to be fantastic and they’re going to be a little bit more forgiving but show me

That eight hybrid give me that 33 degree hybrid and let me hit some shots to that flag and they’re quite a few of us myself was there Matt Loy was there Chris was there Hannah Holden from National Club golfer was there we all had a little bit of a competition seeing

Just how high we could hit these balls and how low we could hit the balls by using this eight hybrid I think it’s fantastic it’s a load of fun but also it serves a purpose by making golf a little bit easier for a lot of golfers so if

You are in the market for something that’s going to be a lot more forgiving I’d say a bit more forgiving but a lot more forgiving take this review with a pinch of salt I’m testing them to see how versatile they can be if I could potentially use them I would never use

These clubs because I don’t necessarily need to I would lose out more than I would probably gain the juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze but that’s not to say that I won’t be using these clubs in some videos moving forward because to be honest I find it really really really

Enjoyable and I know you guys do as well now I must say one of the factors that would be quite interesting that would put a lot of golfers off is do you want your golf bag looking like this I know a lot of golfers whose golf bag does look

Like this my dad’s golf bag looks like this my mom’s golf bag looks like this although not quite as neat and tidy I think there’s pretty much golf gloves everywhere in my mom’s golf bag but would you want to have a bag full of head covers or would you just not bother

With the head covers on the hybrids and would you just have them clotting around in the bag like that cuz that would do my head in I’m starting to get into the swing of this and really starting to enjoy what these clubs are about so we’re going to

Talk Tech as well because these do feature the brand new new AI design smart face and that is designed to optimize performance by using swing data from thousands of real golfers C claim that this is a Leap Forward in its AI Journey so not quite a Quantum Leap

Forward in its AI Journey like they saiding the drivers but a Leap Forward nevertheless it also features Technologies such as the Contemporary shaping for modern golfers so the new AI smoke HL model features a shallower profile to promote a high easy launch additionally a more pronounced Soul chamber and that offers enhanced Turf

Interaction very similar to The V steel Souls you will remember on the tailor made hybrids and Fairway Woods you’ll also see that these clubs do feature an Innovative tungsten speed cartridge that’s in the bottom of the club there that’s designed to redistribute Mass to relocate CG and make these clubs just

Again a little bit easier to launch so jamack full of tech let’s see exactly how the lower lofted clubs do manage launching at HL May well be a good option for a lot of people off the tea if you struggle with a driver or a

Fairway wood okay so we will now go with the six hybrid so we’ve gone from the eight to the six we’re going to finish a little bit higher up as well but for me this is where you will start to see more people who find it acceptable to have

The hybrids in the bag a six hybrid which does come in at 27° of Loft so these Lofts do move in groups of three I think this looks really good I love the color scheme of it I love that tungsten weight look in the bottom hopefully that

Wouldn’t get too much kind of mud and stuff in there so I’ve set a green out here at 196 yards a six time for me would usually be around 180 to 185 so potentially gaining a club here are we losing more than we are gaining let’s

See if we can just try and attack this flag like we would with a normal six and see if we can potentially hit a couple of Greens in regulation straight away you can see how high that’s gone this is going to be something that a lot of people do really enjoy that’s just

Tranic onto the front edge 188 yard carry so not a lot further than I would anticipate my usual six to go you saw the comparison numbers of the eight ions and that’s the shot that I’m more interested in cuz that although felt powerful felt really towy as well I

Actually didn’t catch that very well at all 185 carage so one of the things I’m starting to see when I get into the lower lofted clubs such as the six is a little bit more consistency let’s go a couple more let’s see if I can try and

Get some more distance out there with the six ion then we’ll move up to an even lower lofter club and see if potentially these could just be a great hybrid replace for your longons instead of all the way through the bag part of me is a little bit disappointed we

Haven’t seen a 9on and a wedge in these clubs I think if you’ve gone all the way down to the eight why not just release a full set like the guys at 11 have done with their Mega forgiving hybrids I think there will be a market for people

Who do want Mega forgiving High lofted hybrids and the reason I know that is because my dad is certainly one of them right we’re going to have a little bit of a test with this six hybrid now we’re going to see how low I can hit it and

Potentially how far I can hit it then we’re going to see how high I can hit it and how soft we can get it to land hopefully I would anticipate if I do this short the first one will be a lot longer than the second it’ be a little

Bit more of a kind of stinger ball flly you can see when I try and get these clubs to go low they do start to go left on me and I do think that is down to the offset that’s on them but a lot of people who are going

To be testing these clubs will struggle with a bit of a slice won’t they so I think it’s important to think about what your Mish hit is and potentially what you want from these clubs that’s got to be longer is it 199 carry so for iron replacement now

Or for hybrid you will see this is 21 degrees of Loft again we do have that adjustable huzzle way can change Loft and face angle that’s potentially why these clubs are knocking on so expensive they are jpack full of Technology but also jam-packed full of adjustability and these also come with a nice

Lightweight shaft as well this actually has surprised me this four hybrid especially and the three hybrid look very nice look very pleasing I feel like I could pretty much game this hybrid just the way it looks it doesn’t have too much kind of surface area in the back they’ve not changed the shape

Of it massively they’ve basically changed the Loft as like in the set of hybrids and to be honest not too much offset on there either so very surprised that that four hybrid does look as pleasing to me as it does 220 yards we have this green at can we hit this green

Three times in a row it’s asking a lot that felt incredible look how high that’s gone you can really tell what these clubs are designed for just to get the ball up in the air go on 206 that’s the only problem with that high launch it does that spun at 6,000

That is a lot of spin so if you’re trying to get this ball Airborne the high launch hybrids could potentially be for you that’s the worst strike we’ve had and how far is that going to go really testing the Forgiveness of these clubs it’s gone 197 with a terrible

Strike that was out of the AI smart face right come on I said three in a row we’ve not hit one can we get it there all right that felt good that felt really strong is it a bit further 208 consistency wise I’m really pleased with this I think they also give

You a little bit of feedback which I wasn’t anticipating to get with these clubs that one be on it be on it go go it’s got to be it’s 200 in the air two oh it’s ever so short guys thank you so much for watching I really hope you’ve

Enjoyed this review of the brand new Callaway Paradigm AI smoke hybrid family I think these are really interesting I think they could really help a lot of people with their game are they priced out a little bit potentially but I can’t wait to see if people end up with these

In the bag especially fitted with all the adjustments in 2024 if you’ve enjoyed that smash that subscribe button below and apart from that I’ll see you all at the same time tomorrow goodbye
