Smoke ’ n Drivers with Ai Tech for 2024 by Eddie Hall , Equipment Writer
Although we always seem to start the golf season off by looking for an increase in distance with our drivers , 2024 will be different . The manufacturers realize that the real way to increase your driver performance is to increase the forgiveness in the drivers . This is a common theme that you will see in the 2024 driver market entries .
Callaway Drivers Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers
Callaway introduces its new Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers , featuring the first Ai Smart Face driver designed using data collected from real ( human ) player swings . By using the information collected from thousands of golfers ’ swings , Callaway has drastically improved its driver performance with its new Ai Smart Face clubs .
The Ai Smart Face has a unique design behind the face to improve the accuracy and distance for off-center shots . The design features micro deflections activated at impact to create a sweet spot all over the face . The Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers are available in both men ’ s and women ’ s models as follows : Ai Smoke Max , Ai Smoke Max D , Ai Smoke Triple Diamond , and Ai Smoke Max Fast . Each driver model has a different sweet spot area on the face called “ shot shape correction ,” so be sure to look at the forgiveness diagrams ( photos below ) at www . callawaygolf . com . All models retail at $ 599.99 and are a must-try !

TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers
Paradym Ai Smoke ( tight Face pattern ) Distance & Workability Ideal For Players with a consistent shot pattern .
The “ Swing Code ,” created by the AI collected data , consists of swing speed , club delivery , and face orientation just before impact , which gives the drivers the advantage of optimal launch conditions and tighter shot dispersion ( fewer errant shots ).
The Qi10 family of drivers from TaylorMade Golf set the goal of making its drivers the most forgiving on the market . TaylorMade is doing this by using new multi-material construction to increase inertia . MOI ( Moment of Inertia ) is the measure of an object ’ s resistance to change in its rotation . It ’ s all about stability and forgiveness at impact .
