The Paradym AI Smoke irons mark a significant advancement in iron performance. Featuring what Callaways says is the most sophisticated iron face ever it has developed, known as the Ai Smart Face, this technology was crafted using actual player data and sophisticated machine learning algorithms.
The result is Ai Smart Face boasts multiple sweet spots across its surface. This innovative design delivers terrific distance while maintaining precise shot accuracy.
“We wanted to really push for the same kind of breakthrough [found in the woods] with an AI Smart Face design and see what we could get out of an AI-led approach on these irons,” says Brian Williams, Callaway’s director of research and development. “We wanted to make sure that we have a clear differentiation in our offering, clear segmentation, and really offer a product line that it’s very clear of who these products are for, as well as products that would really perform differently in the hands of fitters or consumers.”
Key Technologies
Industry First Smart Face
AI Smart Face enhances iron performance by leveraging swing data collected from thousands of actual golfers. This comprehensive data set, referred to as the Swing Code, includes details like swing speed, club movement, and face alignment just before impact. The outcome is an iron face engineered to maximize distance while ensuring precise shot placement on the green.
“By using AI and by controlling our face deflections, we can improve those outcomes, tighten our dispersions, and help golfers hit more greens,” says Williams.
Aesthetics
For clubs that are filled with technology, Callaway has really tried to create clubs that will appeal to better golfers, and game improvement versions that are not off-putting.
“It’s a shape that will be aspirational and players will be proud to have in the bag, with a little thinner sole and thinner toppling,” says Williams. “It’s that clean hollow body look that many players are gravitating towards these days.” The clubs also use hollow body technology for increased distance. In the case of Smoke AI irons, it is a club where contemporary design and hollow-body architecture combine aesthetics with practicality.
Distance And Control
Typically, longer club lengths lead to higher swing speeds and greater distance, but this can compromise control. However, with Callaway’s advanced AI process, golfers can enjoy the advantages of clubs that are quarter-inch longer in the mid and long irons, while still achieving precise shot accuracy on the green.
Dynamic Sole Design
The innovative Dynamic Sole Design introduces a pre-worn leading edge accompanied by variable bounce, enabling exceptionally efficient turf interaction. This versatile design ensures clean and precise contact with each shot and is crafted to offer outstanding forgiveness.
