A standard model with a new dimension of distance and ease of use, born from real swing data
In 2024, Callaway's AI design has entered a new phase. Until now, the numbers from robot tests were input into a supercomputer for analysis, but from now on, 250,000 swing data collected from around the world will be input. By utilizing realistic swing trajectories, impact lofts, etc., amazing functions have been created. The born Ai Smart Face instantly corrects spin and launch angle to the optimum, regardless of how you hit. It brings players greater distance and less curvature than ever before. The new series is named "PARADYM Ai-SMOKE" and comes in four types of drivers. The standard model "PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX Driver" has been developed with a slightly larger impact range that is more effective, and has a wide range of performance that can be used by golfers of various levels and swing speeds.

Input of swing data from 250,000 people, totaling over 1 million swings Until now, Callaway's AI-based face design has used test data from robots making square impacts for development, but this new product inputs real swing data from 250,000 people obtained at Callaway fitting facilities around the world. The total number of values detected from this is over 1 million. It can be said that the virtual and the reality of what happens in a human swing have been fused together.
Ai Smart Face completed after 50,000 designs and tests Under conditions such as increasing flight distance, reducing spin, and suppressing trajectory variation, AI used this real data to design and test 50,000 times on a supercomputer. The completed face was named Ai Smart Face. Ai Smart Face achieves flight and ease that truly defies common sense. No matter how you hit or how the head enters, microdeflections (countless deflections) are caused in every part of the face to correct for the best ball speed, spin, direction, and launch angle. The ball flies stronger and farther than ever before, and lands in a very narrow range. In addition, the capabilities of this Ai Smart Face have changed the gear effect of the face and the utility of high inertia moment to something that does not need to be considered so much.
Superior performance beyond JAILBREAK technology
JAILBREAK technology may be a paradoxical example of the capabilities of the Ai Smart Face. When JAILBREAK technology is installed, a lot of pressure is placed on the outer periphery of the face, so until now it has been designed to be thick enough to withstand impact. However, this time, in order to improve correction capabilities, AI has recommended not adopting JAILBREAK technology, but making the outer periphery of the face thinner than before so that microdeflection occurs in every corner of the face. In fact, this idea is correct, and the Ai Smart Face achieves higher ball speeds and distances than models equipped with JAILBREAK technology at any impact point.
The new driver equipped with the Ai Smart Face also features a 360° carbon chassis that is lighter than the previous model. The lineup includes four models, each equipped with a 360° carbon chassis that is lighter than the previous model. The most standard "PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX Driver" has an Ai Smart Face designed to work more effectively over a slightly wider area of the face, making it the model that is most suitable for golfers of a wide range of levels out of the four models.
Increased flight distance and 10% smaller average range The head has a volume of 460cc and a round shape typical of Callaway, with a 2g screw weight at the front of the sole and a 14g perimeter weight at the rear for greater versatility. As mentioned above, there is no need to pursue the moment of inertia to an extreme degree, so the perimeter weight is not located at the rear of the head like the previous PARADYM driver. Compared to the previous model, the PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX driver has particularly improved flight distance performance, and data shows that the average range is 10% smaller.

"Air" was released in 2014 with the concept of "fastest running."
Now in its 10th season, this year sees the adoption of ultra-high performance materials to deliver the ultimate in performance. New LB Technology: The LB technology that has been adopted in the "running"-focused "Air," "Xanadu," and "T-series T-1" has been further enhanced by the use of ultra-high performance materials.
Utilizing the know-how gained from using metal wires with "Fabulous Ni-Ti," we have developed a new LB technology.
High elasticity stainless steel wires are arranged at 2mm pitch, and by increasing the elasticity at the handle compared to conventional products, explosive spring back is produced.
Stiffness Control TRPX's unique precision manufacturing process and two-point flex management are used to achieve high-level power transmission. By gradually loosening the rigidity from the grip to the tip, the powerful rebound achieved by the new LB technology is amplified, resulting in faster impact than ever before.
Using metal wire inevitably makes the shaft heavier, but through our own development, we have achieved a weight reduction that is lighter than the previous "Air" shaft.
The flex R is designed to be 48g so that seniors can also use it. |
