Paradym Ai Smoke

Why we like it

This family can fit four groups of golfers because of the design freedom of its carbon-composite-fuelled structure. Not only does it feature a carbon crown on top, but much of the sole is now formulated with a specialised combination of carbon fibres. That matrix provides shaping flexibility and maintains durability in the sole for clubs that are routinely hit off the ground. More importantly, it eliminates the need for steel support bars, saving 22 grams over a traditional steel sole, which allows for specific weighting and shaping for four kinds of players.

Paradym Ai Smoke Max            

  • The shallow face makes it easier for a broad group of players to launch shots.
  • A carbon-composite crown and sole save weight that is moved forward for low spin and rearward for forgiveness.
  • 15, 16.5, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27 (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)

Top 5 best sound/feel, fairway woods, middle-handicaps

Paradym Ai Smoke Max D

  • Favours players who swing out to in and add loft at impact.
  • The weight saved from the carbon-composite crown and sole feeds a weight in the back to help increase launch.
  • 15, 16.5, 18, 21 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel).

Top 5 most forgiving, fairway woods, all handicaps

Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond

  • The compact head with a slightly taller face is designed for players who make consistent centre contact.
  • Angled sole plate has heel and toe relief for more versatility from a variety of lies.
  • 15, 18, 21 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel).

Top 5 best looking, fairway woods, low-handicaps

Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast

  • The lightweight specs, including head, shaft and grip, provide more control and speed potential for moderate swing speeds.
  • Lofts are a degree higher than standard to produce a higher launch.
  • 16, 19, 22, 25 degrees (fixed hosel).

Top 5 most forgiving, fairway woods, all handicaps

 

Reviewer profile

“This one is powerful. The clubhead’s heft helps launch the ball high with a purposeful flight. Gets on line quickly and stays there. Forgiveness is apparent.”
