I tried them out and the smoke max hl it is no joke it was dropping dimes and definitely feels better then the standard

@swisstrader 2 месяца назад

Played this weekend and didnt have my own clubs so they gave me a rental set of Smoke Irons. I was absolutely not in the market for a new set of irons with having just bought a new set of Ping 525’s but these things blew me away on feel and distance. Reaching out to my pro shop to see cost, etc

@swisstrader 2 месяца назад

Also much more reasonably priced than many other iron sets out there

@jordanboteler8978 4 месяца назад

Went and got fitted for new clubs today and it came down between the AI Smoke irons and Mizuno. I went with the Callaway because it went further and felt the best! Can’t wait for them to come in! Also grabbed the Smoke driver and 3 wood

@11BCampbell11 9 дней назад

Did they fit u for 3 wood or do they go off of ur driver fittinf

@davidmeeks7449 4 месяца назад

Standard loft specs are just a starting point. Can bend these 2 degrees weak if you need more spin. A lot of players won’t - these fly high and land on a steep angle. Indoor testing always shows lower spin because it is off a mat surface.

@home4ya 4 месяца назад

good to see you at scottsdale store last week, love to see a "HL" battle between this and my 923 HM-HL? wish they'd just improve my fav x-16s, can you hit a few 1" fat for us hackers? ;0)

@wkndwarrior4733 4 месяца назад

If you go back to the Rogue St pro. It was such a different design with a great look. I always thought Callaway was testing a change with that iron. A very underrated iron. But it was too small for the masses, even smaller that apex 21. I see the same look in this standard model with the high chrome and shaping, but these are bigger.

@paulmcgee1867 3 месяца назад

Brilliant looking and v small you make a great point

@61albee 4 месяца назад

That first paragraph in the description..., how does this "smart face" iteration different from the previous model over than different marketing jargon?

@jbiz447 Месяц назад

I’d like you to do a comparison with the Paradym irons.

@Golf_Hack 4 месяца назад

These are the kinda clubs that I hope keep improving for when I am 70 years old. As of now, I dread the day I might need these.

@liv_may_younger 3 месяца назад

I’m 63yrs play off 8 - just been fitted for these coming from mixing blades. Take your ego out and get something that is easier more fun and consistent…..

@liv_may_younger 3 месяца назад

Just been fitted for the HL model. I’m an 8 h’cap and used to blades without a launch or distance issue. These just make the game easier (save me practicing twice a week too!) and are sooooo consistent. Folks need to take out their EGOS and this nonsense term ‘game improvement’ which is an utter misnomer……..I hit these further, higher and more consistently with no huge feel difference to my mizunos.

@purpleturd4203 4 месяца назад

HL model makes sense 30 degrees is as low as a 7 iron loft should get glad there are options

@davezalinko1354 4 месяца назад

I got fitted for the “old” Paradyms a month ago should have them in a wk. Now they come out with these. Be nice to see the difference between the two. Oh well I’m happy with what I ordered … great irons. Played Mizuno 223 Pro prior.

@johnnyrotten5905 4 месяца назад

Interesting that you went from the 223's to the Paradym. I hit the 225's and can't imagine any irons being smoother than Mizuno.

@davezalinko1354 4 месяца назад

Mizunos are super nice, feel like knife going through butter. Just wasn’t happy with my performance with them. I’m 55 and need something with more distance. The Paradyms gave me this. On average 15 more yards. If I was getting same numbers with the 223s I would have kept them. Try them out for fun. We all swing different.

@davidmeeks7449 4 месяца назад

Gotta say I had the 225’s and then the standard Paradym and I thought the Paradyms had them beat. Very powerful irons that feel great. They do not take a back seat in feel to the Mizuno hollow headed models. The Callaway microspheres do a great job. Super forgiving on thin hits, much more so than the 225.

@TheKeinan96 4 месяца назад

@davezalinko1354 you can always send them back to Callaway and order the Smoke. Right now the Smoke are like $30 cheaper per iron.

@davezalinko1354 4 месяца назад

Yes I can do that. I may go hit all the new ones and see how the compare to the Paradyms. I really liked the feel of the Paradyms. Reason why smoke is cheaper they are cast , over forged for Paradyms.

@ross6733 15 дней назад

Hey fellas, that was the funniest test of ai smoke irons I ever saw, when 5" tal midget with a flat swing says the ball flight is too low and low spin, I've been playing these irons for a month, Im 5 11" and Im hitting it higher than 46 and spin rate is 5600 for 7 iron , and I don't work for Callaway, that guy does need a super impruvment irons to get the ball up in the air, lol

@2ndswing 13 дней назад

Lol, thanks for watching! Kevin is a superb player and has no problem getting his irons in the air I assure you. If these irons work for you, that's awesome! You probably generate more spin than him due to either swing speed, attack angle, or both. Kevin's swing lends itself to lower spin rates, hence why he plays higher lofted irons than the Paradym Ai Smoke.

@golfingmatt82 4 месяца назад

is an ai smoke pro iron coming? Replacement for rogue st pro?

@robertromero4477 4 месяца назад

How are these vs stealth HD irons?

@richardpietrafesa7972 Месяц назад

my m2 are 7 years old now , went to see my fitter and tried a couple of irons out , when i hit these irons i gained 15 - 20 yards and a tighter grouping with a faster ball speed ....

@justinstephenson9360 4 месяца назад

These are not clubs designed for me but could suit my playing partner. Back of the club is a bit too busy for me, not as bad as some of the irons of the past - yes Cobra I am thinking of your irons where the back of the club was a glorified advertising billboard. Overall not a bad looking club, although there haven't been any really bad looking clubs since the Taylor Made MGCB which I considered to be eye wateringly ugly. Spin rates are a bit low for my taste but I suspect for the golfers these are aimed at their longest iron should be a 6i. Would be interesting to see someone with a slowish swing speed trying the HL and Fast models to see the differences

@2ndswing 4 месяца назад

Good feedback, and we'll definitely do more testing in the near future with these. Our main takeaway was the performance retention on Kevin's low-face strikes...seemed much better than past game-improvement irons

@jbiz447 Месяц назад

What’s the steel used on the face?

@kimbramsen1100 2 месяца назад

Question, which do you like better last year’s paradigms or these AI smokes in the standards thank you

@2ndswing 2 месяца назад

Good question and thanks for watching. We really like the new AI Smart Face technology in all the AI Smoke clubs. Mishits just perform much better. With that said, the original Paradym model is really solid too for a little lower price. To me, it depends on your budget. If you are willing to spend a little extra for a custom set of AI Smoke irons, it's worth it. - Drew

@stevedietrich8936 4 месяца назад

That regular smoke isn't going to work for a lot of guys. This tester is a lot faster than the majority of golfers and still couldn't generate a good level of spin, or a good landing angle. The HL fits the average guy a lot better.

@rlbjr 4 месяца назад

How about a comparison between the Callaway AI Smoke HL vs the Mizuno Hot Metal HL vs the Taylor Made Stealth HD? These will suit the average swing speed golfer.

@2ndswing 4 месяца назад

Great idea!! Adding it to the list

@superfly1187 4 месяца назад

HL is 2 degrees softer in loft though so can't compare distance.

@YoYoZamolo 4 месяца назад

Is 41-42 deg landing angle with 4.5k spin, enough to stop on a standard green?

@ra1der5 Месяц назад

Not sure I like what Callaway is doing with the Paradym AI Smoke series. Callaway used to just have the Paradym for Players Distance and Paradym X for Game Improvement. At 0:40, this vid shows us three models of AI Smoke, then he says there’s two models. There are actually FOUR; Paradym AI Smoke, AI Smoke HL, AI Smoke Max, and AI Smoke Max Fast. I guess he’s confused too. Along with Paradym X, Callaway actually has FIVE game improvement irons! We only have so much time with a fitter and we should walk in with some idea of what clubs we’re interested in. Isn’t the Paradym AI Smoke series spread a little thin to make a real difference?

@cameronloveless1751 4 месяца назад

The loft-jacking continues! A 28 degree 7 iron isn’t a 7 iron. It just isn’t. You can only hit it high enough with a steep enough descent angle if you have high swing speed. And if you have high swing speed you don’t need a 28 degree 7 iron that goes almost 200 yards. You’d need 5 wedges! Bonkers

@2ndswing 4 месяца назад

It's true, iron lofts are getting much stronger! But as noted in the video, there are lots of players that benefit from it. Our fitters see a ton of golfers with above-average swing speeds that have steep attack angles and an out-to-in path (lots of former baseball players who have picked up golf). Most of the time, these golfers benefit from strong iron lofts. Is this best for everyone? Absolutely not. and to your point, if the 7-iron is going 200 yards, we probably won't recommend that set!

@BadAceGolf 4 месяца назад

My God, zero chance you get that 7i to stop on a green! Had on average for the standard model like 13 yards of run! The "HL" 10 yards of run. Gonna have a bunch of 30- 35 foot Putts or get used to a bunch of chips.

Just start putting loft numbers on clubs at this point, like wedges. Getting ridiculous.

@jesusortiz9100 4 месяца назад

All of the major known brands are always coming up with new gimmicks because they need to over charge us the average golfers in order to fill the pockets of their signed pros. I was always falling into the same trap and just got fed up. I'm currently waiting for my set of Takomo irons which provided me with a beautiful set of new clubs (4-p) for less $500 US.
