Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers, Fairways, Hybrids & Irons
Posted by GolfBox on 9th Feb 2024
Last year’s Paradym release was a big hit for Callaway. The clubs were winning on Tour almost every other week and the entire Paradym range was embraced by weekend warriors everywhere. The challenge facing Callaway in 2024 was how to improve on the mammoth ball-speed accomplishments of Paradym. The solution was probably not what anyone was expecting; even the team at Callaway got a nice surprise.
The follow up is called Paradym Ai Smoke and the collection of Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons are powered by the most advanced face design in Callaway’s history. Callaway have traversed the limits of machine learning and A.I. design to create the new Ai Smart Face, the centrepiece technology of the Ai Smoke range.
The architecture of the Ai Smart Face was conceived by referencing the data of thousands of golfers of varying skill levels. And the resulting snapshot of swing speed, club delivery and face orientation provided unprecedented insight into the dynamics occurring at impact. That knowledge gave Callaway’s A.I. the license to create multiple sweet spots – in locations deemed most beneficial – on every face in the Ai Smoke range.
The new Callaway Ai Smoke line-up provides fizz and forgiveness in the exact spots golfers really need it.
Paradym Ai Smoke fairways and hybrids offer extreme versatility paired with fast and forgiving performance.
CALLAWAY PARADYM Ai SMOKE DRIVERS
With multiple sweet spots all over the face, is it any wonder every new Paradym Ai Smoke driver produces a veritable stripe show off the tee? The Ai Smoke’s new Ai Smart Face is the major reveal, with A.I. and machine learning perfecting a face design that positions the pop and forgiveness where golfers actually need it.
Meanwhile the carbon chassis that debuted in the original Paradym is now lighter. Weight savings have been directed low and deep in the driver head to improve launch and forgiveness. With innovation like that, it’s easy to see why the new four-strong Paradym Ai Smoke can be rightfully considered Callaway’s longest, fastest and most forgiving driver yet.
Driver Technology
Ai Smart Face
The new Ai Smart Face is the most sophisticated driver face in Callaway’s history. Callaway’s A.I. crunched the data of thousands of real golfers to create a face design that optimises launch and tightens dispersion throughout the Ai Smoke driver range.
Carbon Chassis
The original Paradym shifted a tonne of mass low and deep in the head thanks to a lightweight carbon fibre chassis. The new carbon frame in the Ai Smoke follows up with a new carbon chassis that is 15 per cent lighter. The result? Better launch and forgiveness
Micro Deflections
At the forefront of A.I. from the beginning, Callaway have advanced the tech to a granular level. Micro deflections on the face activate at impact, effectively creating popping candy-like sweet spots all over the face. The benefit is consistent spin and launch for off-centre strikes.
FOUR PARADYM Ai SMOKE DRIVERS
There’s something for everyone in the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke driver range, which offers four different models — the Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Paradym Ai Smoke Max D, Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond and Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast. Each model offers a unique performance profile to match a particular swing trait, or rectify a swing issue.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX DRIVER
An impressive blend of distance and forgiveness, the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max should suit a broad range of skill levels. It features an adjustable loft sleeve while a 15g perimeter weight on the sole provides a huge 19 yards of shot shaping correction.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX D DRIVER
Featuring draw-biased dynamics, the Paradym Ai Smoke Max D driver is made specifically to slay a slice. Internal weighting sets up an inherent draw bias while a rear weight stabilises the head at impact and optimises launch and carry distance
PARADYM Ai SMOKE TRIPLE DIAMOND DRIVER
With a compact head profile and low-spinning charm, the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond is made for elite ball strikers. A low-launching, neutral-to-fade ball flight is perfect for full-spectrum ball shaping and the 14g rear weight can cut spin even further in the front port.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST DRIVER
If huge forgiveness and effortless speed is your preference, the Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast is your driver. A lightweight shaft, bonded hosel and stretched head profile make the Max Fast the lightest and most forgiving in the Ai Smoke driver range.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE DRIVER FEATURES
A selection of premium shafts can be installed on the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke driver series. A Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip is fitted as standard, with a Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 installed on the Fast Max model. With the exception of the Max Fast model, Paradym Ai Smoke drivers feature an adjustable hosel, which can alter standard loft higher or lower by two degrees. Callaway also offer a range of Women’s Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers.

CALLAWAY PARADYM Ai SMOKE FAIRWAY WOODS
Ai Smoke may sound like a nebulous concept but it comes alive when a new Paradym Ai Smoke fairway wood hits your mitts. The Ai Smoke fairway range is a perfect tag-team with the new driver, with the pair sharing a great deal of crossover technology.
The chart-topping Ai Smart Face makes an appearance, creating bursts of speed and forgiveness in the face architecture, while a lighter carbon chassis also does some seriously heavy lifting in performance terms. And a tungsten speed cartridge creates some mind-blowing MOI for stacks of forgiveness.
The Paradym Ai Smoke fairway line-up offers four models, each one tuned to cover the entire bandwidth of golf swings and styles.
Fairway Technology
Ai Smart Face
The new Ai Smart Face is the most sophisticated fairway face in Callaway’s history. Callaway’s A.I. crunched the data of thousands of real golfers to create a steel face design that optimises launch and tightens dispersion throughout the Ai Smoke fairway wood range.
Reworked Carbon Chassis
Weight savings across the carbon fibre crown and forged carbon sole translate directly into performance gains. Twenty-four grams of weight has been repurposed, with half sent low and forward to improve spin and launch and the rest positioned near the rear for extra forgiveness.
Tungsten Speed Cartridge
Paradym Ai Smoke fairways are equipped with Callaway’s tungsten speed cartridge, which injects a wad of tungsten where golfers need it most. The high-density metal creates a low and forward centre of gravity to optimise launch and spin and elevate speed and distance.
FOUR PARADYM Ai SMOKE FAIRWAY WOOD MODELS
Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke fairway wood collection is impressively versatile, with four models to choose from: Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Paradym Ai Smoke Max D, Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond and Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast. Each Ai Smoke model offers unique performance traits that individualise performance, helping golfers squeeze the maximum speed, forgiveness and performance out of their game.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAIRWAY
The Paradym Ai Smoke Max fairway is designed for golfers in the middle of the Bell curve. Featuring progressive shaping and a neutral ball flight, the Max line-up offers seven lofts (3W-11W). The 3W and 3HL (high launch) are fitted with an adjustable hosel to refine launch angle.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX D FAIRWAY
Featuring a draw-biased design, Paradym Ai Smoke Max D fairways are designed to straighten up a slicing golfer. Max D fairways launch high, are highly forgiving and sporting a neutral face at address and an upright lie angle, will produce an effortless draw with minimal effort. The 3W and 3HL are fitted with an adjustable hosel to tune launch.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE TRIPLE DIAMOND FAIRWAY
The most compact of the Paradym Ai Smoke fairway quartet, the Triple Diamond is the low-spin Ai Smoke model that is perfect for better players. With a CG that is shifted low and forward thanks to an additional sole weight positioned just behind the leading edge, the Triple Diamond fairway reduces spin to deliver a penetrating ball flight favoured by top ball strikers.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST FAIRWAY
The Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast is light, easy to launch and slightly draw biased; the perfect companion for golfers with slow swing speeds. With a forgiving, oversized profile, the Max Fast is ultra-forgiving and a lightweight Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 grip cuts weight from high up the shaft to help the club head swing effortlessly.
PARADYM FAIRWAY FEATURES
A selection of premium shafts can be installed on the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke fairway range. A Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip is fitted as standard, with a Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 appearing on the Max Fast model. Callaway also offer a range of Women’s Paradym Ai Smoke Fairway Woods.

CALLAWAY PARADYM Ai SMOKE HYBRIDS
Hybrids. They’re the sneaky little clubs that perform a variety of tasks. The all-rounders of a golf bag that can crush a tee ball just as effectively as playing a deft chip-and-run out of a greenside divot. What’s not to love about that?
A hybrid’s versatility is an undoubted strength, but it goes to another level with the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke hybrid line-up. Adept from just about anywhere on the golf course, Ai Smoke hybrids have been injected with Callaway’s formidable speed and forgiveness technology. And with three hybrids to choose from – the Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Paradym Ai Smoke HL and Paradym Ai Smoke Max – there’s never been this much range versatility assigned to the most versatile club in the bag.
Hybrid Technology
Ai Smart Face
Callaway’s Ai crunched the data of thousands of real golfers to create a steel face design that optimises launch and tightens dispersion throughout the Ai Smoke hybrid range.
Contemporary Shaping
The Paradym Ai Smoke line-up of hybrids offers a range of head profiles and performance options. Choose from hybrids that are more like irons, or hybrids that are closer to fairway woods. Or somewhere in between…
Tungsten Speed Cartridge
Paradym Ai Smoke hybrids feature Callaway’s tungsten speed cartridge. The high-density metal creates a low and forward centre of gravity to optimise launch and spin and elevate speed and distance.
THREE PARADYM Ai SMOKE HYBRID MODELS
Select an easy-launching Paradym Ai Smoke hybrid to suit your swing. Callaway provide three hybrid options (Ai Smoke, Ai Smoke HL and Ai Smoke Max Fast) and will suit pros and beginners with equal assurance.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE HYBRID
The Ai Smoke hybrid’s profile is the most compact in the line-up. Its shallow face offers low-spin performance and fast ball speeds, while a unique sole camber is designed for better players.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE HL HYBRID
The Ai Smoke HL hybrid is the Goldilocks of the hybrid range. It’s not too big, not too small, but its mid-sized profile is perfect for golfers who want to work the ball off any lie.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST HYBRID
Featuring the largest head, the Max Fast model is a lightweight hybrid designed to spin and launch high thanks to a low and rearward CG. Perfect for slower swing speeds, the Max Fast offers easy-launching distance from anywhere on the course.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE HYBRID FEATURES
A selection of premium shafts can be installed on every Callaway Paradym hybrid. A Lamkin Crossline 360 grip is fitted as standard, with a Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 appearing on the Max Fast hybrid. Callaway also offer Women’s Paradym Ai Smoke Hybrids.

CALLAWAY PARADYM Ai SMOKE IRONS
The satisfaction of gobbling up extra yardage throughout your entire iron set is hard to beat. In fact, it could only be beaten if said extra distance came without sacrificing dispersion or feel. Yet that is exactly what Callaway have been able to achieve with their new Paradym Ai Smoke iron range.
The irons skirt the player’s distance and game improvement categories, with the distance part of the equation handled by Callaway’s brilliant new Ai Smart Face. Add in some hollow-bodied/cavity back fireworks and longer shafts, and extra distance comes incredibly easy. But Ai Smoke irons are able to maintain dispersion for impressive downrange accuracy, while a dynamic sole promotes solid turf interaction.
It’s going to make the new Paradym Ai Smoke irons hard to knock back.
Iron Technology
Ai Smart Face
The new Ai Smart Face is the most sophisticated iron face in Callaway’s history. Callaway’s A.I. appraised data from real golfers to create unique forged 455 iron faces that optimise launch while tightening dispersion, for more consistency.
Improved Turf Interaction
The all-new Dynamic Sole Design features a pre-worn leading edge with variable bounce that cuts through the turf with extreme efficiency. This dynamic design promotes crisp contact on all shots and is engineered to provide exceptional forgiveness.
Contemporary Design
Paradym Ai Smoke irons are loaded with high density tungsten to enhance spin, launch and yardage-eating distance. The irons’ longer blade length is tempered by a thinner, bevelled topline while progressive sole widths increase forgiveness and encourage crisp contact.
THREE PARADYM Ai SMOKE IRON MODELS
The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke iron range offers a performance pedigree for everyone. Ai Smoke irons are brilliant player’s-distance irons while the HL and Max models are skewed more towards players in need of some confidence-boosting forgiveness and easy-launching capabilities.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE IRONS
Paradym Ai Smoke irons are impressive players’ distance irons, with a hollow-bodied head design and Ai Smart Face offering performance tuned for playability. The more compact head shape, thin top line and moderate sole width merges with the extreme distance benefits that come with a hollow-bodied design. Engineered to suit anyone playing off a mid-single figure to mid-teen handicap.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE HL IRONS
With shafts that are half an inch longer than standard, Ai Smoke HL irons are tuned for distance and a higher-launching ball flight. The deep cavity-back design is armed with tungsten inserts, which shifts CG low and deep and sends shots high and long, while the Ai Smart Face tightens downrange dispersion. With a thicker topline and wider sole, Ai Smoke HL irons offer a confidence-inspiring look at address and should suit handicappers in the teens and above.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST IRONS
Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast irons are slim and trim to extract speed and performance from slower swing speeds. With a lightweight shaft and grip, the Max Fast model is tuned to launch shots higher, longer and faster than was ever previously possible. And with a thick top line and a wide sole, they’ll offer spadefuls of forgiveness and confidence at address.
PARADYM Ai SMOKE IRON FEATURES
A selection of premium shafts can be installed on the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke iron range. A Lamkin Crossline 360 grip is fitted as standard on the Ai Smoke and Ai Smoke HL iron models while a Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 is fitted to the Ai Smoke Max Fast iron. Callaway also offer Women’s Paradym Ai Smoke Irons.
