Last season Callaway’s Paradym made use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the design process, and it hit the number one spot in driver sales. For 2024 and the new Paradym Ai Smoke they made more extensive use of AI with the analysis of data from more than 250,000 golfers covering swing speed, club delivery angle, attack angle and face orientation prior to impact.
The Ai Smart Face uses the micro-deflections created at impact to produce the optimum launch angle and ball spin particularly when the hit is not exactly in the center of the face. In effect the sophisticated face and body design works to retain as much ball speed possible for the type of impact.
Each of the Paradym Ai Smoke has a body of what they call a 360° Carbon Chassis, carbon fiber construction with internal titanium supports, that is 15% lighter than the previous model giving engineers the chance to relocate weight for added forgiveness in each of the four Paradym Ai Smoke models.
