What you need to know: Ai Smart Face — the centerpiece of Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke drivers — is also the key technology of new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke fairway woods and hybrids. The lineup features four models: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max D, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond, and Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast. As with the drivers, the carbon chassis is lighter, allowing for 24 grams of weight to be redistributed throughout the head for enhanced launch, spin, and forgiveness. As utilized in Paradym, engineers leverage a tungsten speed cartridge to push CG low and forward. The hybrid lineup — Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max HL, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast — utilizes similar technology with a shallower profile and more sole camber than previous models.

2024 Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke fairway woods, hybrids: What’s new, key technology

• Ai Smart Face: Drawing on the swing dynamics of thousands of real golfers, Callaway developed an all-new Ai Smart Face for each driver model. Swing speed, club delivery, and face orientation prior to impact were considered to create club faces catered to optimal launch and tighter dispersion.
• Carbon chassis: Paradym Ai Smoke fairway woods (excluding Triple Diamond) feature a carbon chassis to allow for discretionary weight distribution.

What Callaway says

Brian Williams vice president of Research & Development…

On how the company approached fairway wood design this year:

“We did take the same approach in terms of categorizing real player swings with their fairway woods to look at where there were commonalities or differences. We saw a lot of similarities in terms of things like path and face angle, but consistently different impact locations in our Max D and Max Fast player segments. We saw impact locations that were much lower on the face. Consistently on all these products, there were Swing Codes that swing down on the ball. In our Smoke Max, core market segment [product], impact locations were still lower on the face, but just slightly before the center line. And the Triple Diamond player consistently had impact locations on the center of the face.”

On fairway wood improvements from original Paradym:

“We were pleased with the ability to bring in the composite sole on Paradym, but we still had to reinforce it with steel to ensure our quality and durability. We tasked our composites team to get us to the place where we were on the driver with a full carbon chassis. We’ve been able to do that now with a full carbon sole and crown, we’ve been able to free up over 24 grams of weight and re-invent [the club]. Half of it is moving forward into our tungsten speed cartridge for low spin and distance and half of it is moving rearward to increase our MOI.”
