NEW 2024 DRIVER - CALLAWAY PARADYM AI SMOKE REVIEW!

[@josephjames5362]

Hey Rick, great video as always. An idea would maybe be to bring in a higher handicap player and allow him to compare his 4-8 year old driver up to these new ones. That way we can get a better idea of the differences for a higher handicap player with an older club and you, a scratch golfer, comparing to last years model. Thanks for the review, I look forward to the next one.

[@jopo7996]

Finally. A manufacturer has created a driver, with a bigger sweet spot, more forgiveness on off-center hits, lower spin rates, higher ball flights and more distance.

[@Robertsonian]

It's about time! Lol

[@stevebuchanan4829]

Lol

[@esond]

And also has the potential to hit your longest drive ever! Kind of like every driver! 🙄

Looking great Rick! Love your new merch and love all your videos…perfect mix of education, and entertainment!

[@jacksonekblad3012]

Absolutely love this guy. Love how he looks at each driver from a different perspective to all players and not just to his game. Definitely my favorite club review KZbinr. Guy is on another level and keeps raising the bar!

[@trevorpetersen6386]

Just took mine out for the first time today. After play a decade plus with the same driver. This thing is effortless! I was blown away!

[@cohendentlinger64]

You introduced me to golf and now I have my new favorite hobby my far. Keep up the great work

[@williamgatlin2466]

Rick can’t thank you enough for the game improvement tips and club reviews. And just pure fun of watching your videos.

Only recently got into golf and you have been the first channel I go to for learning more about it. Certainly did not expect everything to be as complicated and technical as it is but I'm slowly getting better. So thank you for all the help in the journey to suck a little less at golf every day Rick!

[@O-Heyguys]

Go play pickleball instead

[@frankdangelo6505]

Rick love your videos. I will add you to my other golf subscriptions, but would also love to add that new Ai Smoke driver to my bag. I must say your assessment is 100% correct. My golf buddy just got fitted for one. I tried it on the course and was amazed how easy it was to hit straight drives down the fairway. At 66 years of age I could use the help, not to mention a free driver.

[@JPaulos71]

Back playing golf after 20 years. Your videos have been a major inspiration and help in my return to the game!

I think we can all respect Rick for a nice honest review of the club. Keep up making great content Rick ❤

[@chrisparker4542]

Solid review! I just did a session with a stealth driver, the new ping driver, and the Callaway paradym max. It wasn’t even close. The paradym smoke figuratively smoked the other two drivers. My swing speed was right at about 100 to 105 consistently my ball speed was between 130 and 139 consistently with all three drivers but my actual distance of the ball was 60 yards longer with the paradym smoke than the other two. I love this freaking club!

[@cristopherparker4728]

I was looking at the club and now I figure if I found another Chris Parker who likes it this much then I probably will too! Sold!

[@vampishfaun4701]

really appreciate the in-depth reviews, finally time for me to do a full bag fitting and it seems like its coming at the right time.

[@tdoutdoors4913]

As a new golfer Rick has been exceptional at helping me figure out my swing and feel comfortable trying to tune in my game. Much respect Rick

[@tristinelloitt6005]

How could you not love new driver season? Rick always puts out amazing content. Excited for 2024 Rick!

[@keithmedina1988]

Just started golfing and now I watch all of your videos. Thank you for making golfing fun and learnable.

Love to see a side by side with last year’s Paradym lineup to get a real idea of how much improvement there is

[@nathanastbury8326]

Check out peter finch then 😉

[@Melodic_Music.]

It's really interesting to see Callaway and Taylormade trying to best each other in the driver market! I liked how he tests each one and shows us the distinct differences between each version.

[@stephentunstall04]

This has to be the best part of the new year!! Driver review season!!! ⛳️❤️

[@BigfootLives19]

I feel like your reviews are more detailed and honest that all other KZbinrs. Thank you.

Would love this driver I played on New Year’s Day and my driver snapped I have been looking at other cheaper options but this driver would be a dream great vid Rick 👏🏼

[@bosullivan5462]

Dont waste your cash !

This gets me pumped to see what the rest of the bunch has in store for the new season

[@marcdavies6035]

So many positives, can't wait to see what new releases compete with this this year 👍

[@paullucas7335]

This driver is what all golfers need. Regardless of prowess. I play off 12 and driving is probably the strongest part of my game. But with this driver I'm pretty sure this would give me more consistency. Love your channel Rick. Im often at your old work place, the trafford range. Keep up the great content 👍🏼

[@dominicnel2662]

Drivers just seem to get better and better and this one looks very good. Loving the reviews

[@pipedown7969]

Looks like their marketing is working well on you lol

[@GolferPerformance]

It’s a boring driver. Paradym X is just as good and SOOO much more fun to hit.

[@ItsFour]

Would love to see some different types of golfers hitting this club skillwise (amateur, average, pro etc.) Would be a great comparison for those looking to upgrade this year. Great content Rick!

[@TheNagorian]

Always been a fan of Callaway, and it seems they keep moving in a great direction

[@ivanboesky1520]

Yeah, their movement is higher and higher prices with the same performance as the prior year clubs. LOL

[@tompaonessa5675]

I have been using Callaway products for the last 25 years this by far is state of the art technology one word describes this new club. AMAZING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@thegolfgang4973]

Rick I love your videos they have always helped me choose my clubs as a 14 year old golfer you have been a big factor that helped me break 85 multiple times last summer from the men’s tees thank you so much and keep up the great work making great videos for us.

[@jacksdn2]

I had a custom fitting with a Callaway rep this weekend and immediately ordered! That's for the descriptions in your video. Very helpful.

[@jimdickey2022]

I appreciate a well rounded, complete review that includes both studio & on course evaluation.Thanks!

[@NannyOggins]

I love your reviews Rick as much as watching you and your guests play rounds. Both my husband and I use Callaway clubs and this club might be a lovely gift for him. It looks gorgeous and you seem to like it so it’s on my list!

These drivers look incredible! We just had a load delivered to where I work and the quality is mind blowing. Callaway have gone full into their quality and refinement. I will definitely be buying an Ai Smoke.

[@EdDarter]

only just found this channel, binge watching loads of the videos. Very enjoyable so far!

[@eliwiggins6377]

Callaway has taken me by storm by its drivers lately. I just went to a tournament and found that my epic driver head has a crack. A new paradym AI Smoke would be amazing. Great video as always Rick 🙏🏾

[@kohenjoiner5318]

That driver sounds incredible. I love that classic golf driver crunch sound. It always sounds like a nice solid hit. I pick up on that sound at the range when someone has a nice driver in their hand. Good luck, everyone!

Rick is the authority on golf @ KZbin. I always check his opinion on new equip. Way to go mr rick

Love the review, very thorough and concise. I would love this driver! As a new golfer I rely on videos like this to guide me through what to buy as there are so many drivers out there. Rick was the first golfer I subscribed to and always watch his videos. I Will happily drive up to collect and maybe do a video of collection and first use with you Rick?

[@genethomas3121]

I like the looks of the new AI Smoke Paradigm drivers, but after trying out the last year’s version and this year’s I think I’ll save some money and go with last years. Thanks for the review it helped make my decision.

[@briantrainor1475]

It’s a great driver. Hit the Max and Max Fast this week and I’m sold on the results. A good 15-20 yard gain and hitting all the fairways.

Bought mine today and OMG.. I'm hitting summer length drives in winter.. 😊😊

I currently play with the Callaway Rogue. After watching this video I'm definitely heading to my local golf store for a fitting. Thank you for the detailed content in this video. I'm convinced!!! Callaway take my money

[@MATTFL380]

If you haven’t seen one of these yet you must get down and have a good look. They are stunning to look at and according to the pro at work they are very very forgiving. Even duffed drives still run out due to the low spin.

[@joshector2536]

I’m getting new clubs and your vids are helping me narrow down the choices! Thanks 👍🏾

[@billsugar1183]

Just hit the Max yesterday and ended up purchasing it. Feels and sounds great and can’t wait to get it on the course.

[@Kdavis8377]

I went and tested the AI Smoke max, Taylormade Q10 Max and Ping G430. The AI Smoke gave me 5-6mph more in swing speed (with a heavier shaft) and 151-155 ball speed. I was impressed.

[@dandan0956]

I also went and tested Ai smoke Qi10 Ping g430 max I bought the ai smoke today. Just felt better

I fitted these clubs and loved the feel and my dispersion. Would love to have a max in my bag! I am capable of driving 300, but it’s rare. With the triple diamond, I hit over 300 yards 40% of my drives.

[@davelangton9198]

Rick, Thanks for everything you do to keep everyone informed.

[@erikskundzins1893]

Yesterday tested Epic, Parqdym and Smoke. I don't know how they did this, but Smoke flies straight even when I was trying to hit draw. Yes, if you miss hit, it flies different directions, but any way.. even after bad shot, it flies about 150-200m. And when I felt it should be slice, it goes almost straight. May choice stays for Smoke. 👍

[@markhewerdine8489]

Thanks Rick, a very useful and interesting assessment of the 3 driver types. As a high handicapper, the max appeals most. I can slice or draw depending on the day, so for me, maximum forgiveness is key. Time to pu my G25's on eBay!

[@artlessons1]
