These are some of the most well engineered golf clubs in a series in a in a family that I think I’ve ever tested it’s managing my whatever I’m giving it today really well yeah what feels like misses to you but it goes 270 in the air 280 total some really

Impressive yeah it’s good really really impressive okay guys big day here product releases mhm new products launching left and right Michael happy New Year Happy New Year to us Paradigm AI smoke mhm we done drivers just prior to Christmas yeah uh we were very impressed yeah I thought like I

Said I thought that AI problem with doing these videos is when you hit something good you’re like ah that needs to be in your bag and that’s your problem I know with the AI smoke Max watch the video it’s pretty good pretty good so we’ve got the three fairwoods um

To to test obviously same deal Max D Max Paradigm sorry Triple Diamond there is the fast as well paradig are you in 2023 it’s called paradig oh why listen we’re film this between Christmas New Year yeah this is time half he’s had a few too many we

Christmas sharings and he’s still a we bit rough so it’s okay I didn’t realize they kept the name don’t worry about it so yes we’ve got three to test not four the fast one is not here for testing three interchangeables nice okay let’s start with the I’m not going to call

Them the draw byas once because it is maxd but we are finding it’s just higher launch they’re pretty neutral I mean the Cog gives you the ability to create whatever you want do you want it to be know higher Loft and draw and it will set it upright and a bit closed sure

Right I think being adjustable on the the Max D version makes the most sense I think sometimes you get these higher launching fairwoods they’re bonded you’re stuck at 165 you can’t move them up or down having the adjustability on these for the customer that that’s going

To go into could work for a large a large group of people footprint of that pretty generous in size obviously shallow gives you the feeling you’re going to have no trouble getting the thing up in there no having the ability to go from 14 to 17 in uh Loft so pretty

Good let’s test it yeah let’s H it okay all right let’s ease our way into with a couple of gentle Max E Mikey no point in pulling a hamy early doors here a little bit of right to life to it yeah sounded good too did sound good didn’t it thank

You must been a good strike necky neck if that’s necky it’s necky you’ll be smacked in the neck o be a bit necky as well quite nice though I’ll show you in the neck I can he the top of the shaft it’s shockingly good on like I was thinking honestly

This is going to be so high spin that’s why I said like we’ll hit a few easy ones just to get into it because thinking like if I put a decent swing speed in this it’s going to spin at 4500 that there folks apparently is a necky strike

W more good of the shape we want quicker quite nice this thing I couldn’t use it but it’s no it’s the shape it just it doesn’t make me feel like I can do anything another like if if we were to go and play next year or on you know the

Old course somewhere KY and we howling into the window shot to play I in the second shot with this thing no no chance looks easy King of the Miss hits right one more I’m very curious what the the standard one does this is Max if

This one flies like this and I’m kind of hitting it all over the face I really uh really I’m Keen to see what the the max does cuz I know Wonder said on tour that was the most popular one last year it wasn’t triple diamond yeah that was like the second

Last one quite nice good striking yeah yeah this is really nice that’s what you’re expecting yeah hoping for still pretty shallow in that yeah yeah it’s super shall I always found call fairywood super shallow across the board AG agreed okay this is nice struck better little spinny hey 3 mm six

Five 13 that’s Healy high heels is this the mar Savage that was good that was meddled yeah it sounded good sounded roasted I thing stays there for a long time doesn’t it 270 there 2600 15a ball hello you didn’t a helicopter finish just for fun just for fun oh Arnold

Bomber is still with us that’s your new ni the king no Arnold Palmer ice te lemonade the king all right Elvis that sounded roasted quite nice I like that a lot we’re going to sell a lot of those a lot the fact that that’s adjustable looks neutral like that I

Thought that Max D though because that’s adjustable too I think we’ll do a decent amount yeah I mean that’s that’s going to be a confidence builder for a lot of people kind core player right there the core product core okay Mikey I’m fluttering my eyelashes at over here here we go Triple Diamond

Again oh it’s handsome you love a triple diamond it’s nice so many years folks he’s wanted to play Triple Diamond well I’ll tell you what I might just have my time might just have my time I tell you what that’s impressive right with the with the standard max head it kind what

We saw when we tested the drivers the max was in your humble opinion the one yeah was really good I mean it’s going to be hard to beat beat those numbers I launch decent amount of spin carried forever yeah no nothing nothing uh bad about that didn’t quite get it not

Bad angle attack back down that’s a good flight there some speed in them these things yeah that’s get some good spin to it doesn’t it I mean we were done another Fairwood test earli today and we were kind of like really wrestling with a spin to try and find the right window

And 14 launch 28 100 130 ft in the air sounded good they always sound great when they’re off they’ll bottom like where see the angle attack 3.2 okay okay you’re good good Miss though there we going to squeeze one these do not gear out the heel no

Ever do they no like I keep waiting to heal one and it kind of bleeds back to the right 14 mm in the heel you nearly missed it I know honking it’s managing my whatever I’m giving it today really well yeah cuz these aren’t the best that’s for that’s what

You’re saying if you if you’re hitting what feels like misses to you I’m sure people are watching this to go 8 mm in the heel not again but it goes 270 in the air 280 total some really impressive yeah it’s good really really impressive it’s quick when you get it as

Well that was that was middled nicely I just don’t want that loopy hyraw quite good it’s all good all right F started with AI smoke uh Max D um again I think like we said earlier from the other tests we’ve done probably not the speed of player that

Would use no Max D but I love the the adjustability on it I thought you were able to strike it out of the heel or the toe and kind of get away with it um we know today obviously you’re kind of hanging out in the heel as as much as as

Much as you can which play nice though yeah I mean you you didn’t hit anything that to me was like any of these are a bad option for you it’s just maybe a shape or visual um smoke Max was good obviously speed kicked up a bit um you

Know spin dropped a touch I think we said you know maxd a little little too spinny um but that triple diamond I mean speed spin launch it it’s really really good I think if you look at the ball data again Mikey I think the the spin and we’re

Only talking like 100 right as we go but yeah you want more spin with less speed so the spin is appropriate for the the the output I think we were getting with it so I actually love 13 and 32 is great just under 1331 and then 135 and 3,000 considering

They they weren’t sort of some of the the best strikes I mean that’s some of the best three-wood results I’ve ever had in a session where I’ve really not if we go back to Club data again like I have no business hitting it as well as

That swinging up on it two and a half degrees Yeah yeah no business like you should actually be hitting your 3ood pretty bad if uh if it’s like that like a bit low in the head and spinny and slow and these are some of the most well

Engineered golf clubs in a series in a a family that I think I’ve ever tested that’s a bold claim like the definition of forgiveness is the ability to mask a mish hit or or a some deficiency in the delivery right today I was hitting in the heel I wasn’t

Really you know giv it the ideal sort of uh impact conditions that’s forgiveness like you see it right on there um you know the the spin the launch it’s all the same the only thing that fluctuated again go back to Club data as we went up

There it was the club speed Rose yeah right so the efficiency was was exactly the same yeah so no matter what I delivered to the club it gave me back the most consistent result with three very different visually sort of you know designed heads yeah yeah totally no good

Point massively impressed with that sound as well feel yeah they sounded great on even the ones you you know your M hit might be a lot different than other people’s M hits but when you when you missed it you’re like you couldn’t tell the difference between a good one

Or a bad one from sound no I I’m really impressed and then when you know you kind of caught a couple it was like the 160 ball speed was in there the high launch low spinner there was a couple that flew right over 270 275 flew I mean three would that’s Uncharted Territory

For me that’s long we set the green at 275 cuz I’m expecting to fly at 250 255 yeah good point so it’s good stuff okay well I mean I think in the breakdown you can certainly tell how impressed we are um you know we don’t sort of use terms

Or or sort of we don’t praise things that highly because we test so much product we need you guys to understand when we’re impressed you know so it’s it’s important that we stay fairly neutral in all these things but when we get excited about it you know you should

Too and I think that’s important I think the opening for this video is going to be your bold claim because that is a bold claim to say you’ve we’ve you’ve done a lot of testing we’ve all tested product you know for a family to be this

Strong um you know do yourself a favor if you’re going to get fit try these cuz they’re they’re very very good again for me as a fitter I think for all our Fitters to have that maxd version adjustable I think there’s a lot of playability for a lot of customers in

That but the performance across the board I mean they’re very very impressive Max and and Triple Diamond are just going to be for so many people I just think theyve they’ve knocked out the part with the look clearly in the design uh and and you know we we’ll

Overlay the um the tech presentation and those images of of all the different strikes that the AI was simulated in order to sort of get the launch Spin and speed where you need it for that particular strike I mean the design the the reason of going to AI to influence

The sort of design of the the back of this specifically is to make the heel perform like a center strike and that’s exactly what it did totally exactly what it did so really really impressed um yeah good good stuff can’t wait to see them head tohe

It’s all good seeing them per well in a series but when you start to see them all against one another then you start to pick out the the one that stands out from the crowd totally good stuff all right guys let us know what you think

About the uh AI smoke Paradigm AI smoke Michael say it right yeah say it right don’t don’t forget it’s still part of the Paradigm family peeps so yeah let’s know what you think this is going to be the first embargo that lifs third of January you’ll hear our thoughts on this

There’ll be a big big la party out in in La you’ll see this first officially and let us know what you think we’re really really Keen to hear what people’s thoughts are on this stuff all right stay tuned for more we’ll see you again Soon

  1. Testing this line of drivers and woods, the efficiency values they generate on Quad are absolutely bonkers but they don't sacrifice playability in the process.

  2. so really no advancement really.. just a slight change in color and design, adding 2023's top buzzword. $$$

  3. Club champion fitting on the 17th and I broke my 3 wood last month now I’m even more excited to get this fitting

  4. definitely looking forward to trying these. Wasthisclose to ordering some OG Paradym after trying them last month, figured it was just too close to new release season. If these are even a slight improvement, I'll be making the switch!

  5. Numbers look great! Saw on GolfWRX a triple diamond U version at 15 degrees which looks like an adjustable UW, are you going to get your hands on one of these?

  6. Are the heel strikes happening because of the weight of the adjustable cog? Does that weight move the CG towards the heel?

  7. Ain’t no way Mikey wasn’t blitzed but honestly it wasn’t a negative so💁🏻‍♂️

  8. The Max have a pretty special Heavenwood with a bigger head, AND a longer shaft as standard. I'd really love to see that one in action. For a guy like Ronny, holy smokes.

  9. Curious why the sole of the triple diamond doesn’t have the forged carbon like the rest of the lineup
