The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke drivers just launched and there is a model for everyone. From the Paradym Ai Smoke Max with tons of adjustability and blend of distance and forgiveness to the Paradym Ai Smoke Max D that offers the most shot correction in the line. The Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond is built to be low spin and compact but still offer great forgiveness and ballspeed.
Today we’re taking a look at Callaway’s brand new paradigm AI smoke drivers so the brand new driver line is new for 2024 features a ton of new technology and kind of a cool new look if you look at the sole of it but it all stems around the main thing the main
Technology package which is this brand new face which is called the AI smart face now we know Callaway said they’ve been using AI to design the faces of their driver for a little while now uh but this one here is all brand new and after about I think they said 50,000
Computer generated versions of the face uh they have this AI smart face and the big difference between this and the previous generation AI faces is that this one works on micro deflections so micro deflections are kind of different spots on the face that you hit and the
Face will actually Flex in a way to help you straighten out ball flight so if you hit a ball low on the heel which typically produces uh a fade type shot the micro deflections are going to flex and not only increase ball speed on that Mish hit but also help straighten that
Shot out so after these 50,000 variations they figured out that they can kind of design the inside of this face which you know as you see can be kind of this strange geometric pattern really and it’s kind of wavy pattern uh actually AIDS in ball speed and mishit
Dispersion uh from this new face uh they also found as I said that when you miss it off center you have much much more increased ball speed uh as well as that tighter dispers from those shots so the brand new AI smart face is the Big Talk
Of the AI smoke drivers now you will notice inside here there is no more jailbreak system which was kind of a structural support and it is no longer needed with this brand new face but it is still all titanium and built around brand new AI technology so with machine
Learning AI Tech they’ve been able to refine this even further than their previous generations now the other big topic of this driver is a brand new 3 360 carbon chassis so this came out last year with the Paradigm they had a 360 carbon chassis and this is the center of
The driver which is all carbon fiber now the AI smoke version is a little bit different it’s about 15% lighter uh it actually has upper in the corners here a titanium reinforcement structure so making it lighter stronger and helping the driver just perform better uh but it
Is a carbon weave on top and then the forge composite on the bottom uh with a little bit of laid in there so you kind of see these white uh markings and and lines running through now the kind of cool thing is none of these drivers will look the same
So no two will ever be alike they will all be random in terms of look from the sole uh but the 360 chassis has been updated as well with the new line also with the new line you can see the back waiting portion has been moved down with
A lot of the standard Paradigm drivers from last year the weights were a little higher up or pointing out straight out the back same thing with the sliding weight on the standard Paradigm this year everything’s been kind of moved to the sole and what they’re trying to do
Is just again adjust CG so that way you can have improved performance Callaway’s Paradigm AI smoke driver lineup consists of four drivers the first one I like to call the bread and butter driver is the Paradigm AI smoke Max driver so the max driver is the one with the sliding rear
Weight much like the standard Paradigm before but the sliding weight this year has been moved to the sole now the rearrangement of the sliding weight helps with CG position and the paradigm AI smoke Max is going to offer kind of the best combination of distance uh forgiveness and adjustability in the
Lineup That sliding weight from all the way Fade to all the way draw has been seen to change the ball flight up to 19 yards from left to right now the face on the a the AI smart face on the Paradigm Max is also designed specifically for
That club head and the strikes that those players are going to see this driver you’ll see anywhere from players on tour using it all the way to to higher handicaps it’s going to fit a wide wide range of players now the de golf W Rex driver the one that we all
Like to talk about is of course the Paradigm AI smoke Triple Diamond driver now this is the most compact look uh it’s going to be the smallest from aess it’s also going to be the lowest spinning driver and it’s probably going to launch the flattest this one here is
Going to have two movable weights one in the front up near the face and one in the back again both moved to the sole where the previous Paradigm had the rear weight kind of on the back facing outward but the new again waiting helps with CG placement and this one here if
You move the heavy weight back you’re going to add some forgiveness add a maybe a little bit of launch to the driver or if you move that heavyweight forward you’re going to get a very very low spin driver uh that also May lower launch just a little bit again the AI
Smart face on this one is designed specifically for the Triple Diamond driver and it’s going to be you know mostly centered around more Center strikes and built around those strikes that those lower handicap players are going to see with that driver then there is the Paradigm AI smoke maxd which is
The most forgiving largest profile driver it is a little more draw bias hence the D in the name uh and it also has its own AI smart face which is built around shots that are going to be struck a little further away from Center uh to
Help with those ball speed and M hits this one’s going to have just a single rear weight that’s pushed back to help increase Moi and help add a little bit of launch to the driver the fourth one that you don’t see in the lineup here is called the Paradigm AI smoke Max fast
This is going to be a much lighter head built around lightweight builds helping players who are looking to increase Club head speed do that through a lighter setup and also increasing launch to go along with that distance so as you can see with the Paradigm AI smoke there’s
Going to be a driver for every player out there whether you’re an aspiring competitive player uh you know playing something like the triple diamond uh or a player who’s looking for the maximum forgiveness with the Paradigm Max maxd or Max fast so there’s something for everyone here go ahead and take a look

I want the wrx hat more than the driver!
A driver for every player, except those on a budget … $600! I’ll wait 6-12 months and pickup a used one off eBay for about half that price. Truly sad how expensive golf has become.
Great video and overall summary. The max looks amazing. My TSR3 needs to stay in my bag ! Boy if I didn’t get custom fit last year, this would definitely be in the running for a new driver!
These are such good drivers. I haven't hit the fast yet, which would be really fun with some tricked up super-light shafts and swing really fast.
This new driver annually is getting ridiculous. Zero chance they discovered magic stuff since last season. 1-2 yards maybe for $600 makes zero sense. It’s all just showing off to your friends having the newer toy. Been seeing all golf influencers hyping these up like it’s the best ever. Same as last year. Callaway clearly dropping serious cash on Golf influencers.
I really appreciate the views inside the head and the back of the face!
It took them 50,000 tries using AI to get this one face? I think I can confirm this is all bs.
Thank you for being so clear.
I’m a callaway staffer and this was the best presentation I’ve seen so far on how these drivers are designed this year.
