Paradym Ai Smoke

Why we like it

A smart hybrid could involve a lot of things: multiple materials, strategic internal mass, turf-gliding sole shaping and flaw-fighting adjustability. Callaway’s hybrids have done variations of these for years and continue that trend with this line, which takes another step towards individual satisfaction. Using artificial intelligence and other data that analyses tens of thousands of swings, these hybrids have distinct faces that respond specifically to how certain player types attack the ball. The way the faces optimise speed, spin and launch makes the design of the entire club smarter.

Reviewer profile

“You don’t have to try to get it up, but it has an extra gear where you can step on it and really attack the ball.”

Reviewer profile

“There’s some workability here, but they tend to fly straight. It’s a fairway finder on a tight hole.”
