Why we like it

The Paradym Ai Smoke is designed for players with faster swings. This model is made for players who swing a little slower and carry their 7-iron less than 120 metres. That player needs help achieving a healthy ball flight. Using real-player data, the company’s supercomputer simulated tens of thousands of impacts to arrive at a design that improves launch and spin and keeps the ball in the air longer – something that can be the difference between fixing a pitch mark or fishing the ball out of the water.

• A pocket of urethane microspheres behind the face produces a pleasing sound at impact.
• Tungsten weighting assists off-centre strikes.
• 7-iron 30 degrees; PW: 43 degrees
