*what do you think of these irons! It’s going to be hard to beat them!*
Shared to Twitter crossing my fingers
I was so focused on how juiced the loft was on the PW it wasn’t until I had to get a second look I realized what you did. Haha
Do you think this is the first time Callaway has an iron that can compete with the TM P790, Titleist T200?
Clubs looks awesome. Be cool if I won some. Thanks for your videos. I learn a lot from you.
Testing these on Wednesday, whilst they are loaded rockets, my fitter is raving about them. Says they are so much better than the Paradym, despite being cast rather than forged, and apparently the feel is pretty good. Your review backs this up, so thanks, my worry will be are they too offset, let’s see.
Anyone else notice the 5i and the PW labels were backwards 😂
Yeah definitely looks backwards
Nah just a really strong PW and a super weak 5i
3 months later it’s the same. 5 iron is a spoon 😂
Haha, yeah I know they cool thing is yo make strong irons these days, but that’s the strongest PW ever😂😂
No. I hit my 5 iron like he hits his wedge.
The clubs are interesting, but I would need the HL version for the additional height. I hit it too low now. Thanks for the review.
Always a fan of Callaway.
These look great, a players look as well.
Can't wait to try them.
I went to Top Golf Boston last weekend for Father's Day and upgraded for an extra 30.00 these irons. Not to sure about distance increase but looks and forgiveness were very nice.
Great irons that will benefit a lot of players/a lot of different Hcps.
I would play these and weaken 2°.
That would put them more in line with what I normally hit.
Well done on the review Alex!
Thanks! glad you enjoyed
I just hit the HLs at PGA store and I was impressed. Much lighter than the Stealth irons and I was much more consistent with them. They look good, feel good and hit good.
I think I found my new irons. (Don’t tell my wife).
Hahaha love that
I got them and HATE them
Into the closet back to the old irons
@@kart17wins what was it that ypu didn't like
Just got them yesterday after a fitting: Hzrdus graphite shafts… looks good, premium components, great feel, long and very good price compared to Callaway’s last year’s Paradym irons.
I almost upgraded my irons to the Paradym X this past year. Now, I'm glad I waited. I'll be getting a fitting for these for sure.
As someone who did go w/ the Paradym X, I tried these and immediately got an order placed for once after a fitting. Sound was better, felt more consistent and the overall feel was great!
Love the look of these, my irons are in need of a upgrade so deffinatley going to look at getting a fitting on these, shared and subbed keep up the great vids 👍
Just tested against my Paradym X irons & the standard Ai Smoke irons were 8-12 yards further, tighter dispersion & more forgiving off a low face hit (my miss) - impressed
Just got fitted for these in the HL version really nice was surprised at this. As a mid high handicap player who has game improvement irons these felt so much better. Really impressed and a shout out to American golf aberdeen for fitting these.
Were the HL a winner ? I’ve been curious about mizuno and now Callaway HL
@@hanshuhta8007for me yes the HL was the winner. I have to say the Callaway was far in away the better feeling club compared to the mizuno as well.
I ordered these yesterday to replace PXG 0311P. Looking for more accuracy, lower flight, more distance. The Smokes are 1-2* stronger. Ordered 5-GW.
Got mine ordered !! I went with project X IO 6.0 shafts , there a mid/ high launch and spin shaft, that should help keep the launch up with the stronger lofted set. I played the same shafts in my paradyms last year, and had great results holding greens and maintaining distance . Also spin rates were text book for me. With an 87mph 9 iron club head speed.
Great set up!
I was going in to get fit for a new set of Mizuno irons and hit the AI Smoke for fun. I am 63 year old and I swing my 7 iron only about 82 mph. The Mizuno 243 Pro's felt wonderful but the distance I was getting from the AI Smoke was Intoxicating. I kept saying "no way I am replacing my Mizuno's with this Callaway rocket ship" but I couldn't believe how solid they felt. My miss is a marginally fat shot and the Smoke AI's didn't seem to be affected very much. My only worry is my shot pattern was consistently left 5 yards (due to the offset I am betting). The "standard shafts" are too light I think and I opted for the TT Project X IO which might help the left shot. In about 2 weeks I will find out!
Played this weekend and didnt have my pings in the bag so had to use a rental set. Rentals were the callaway Smoke irons and I was absolutely blown away. Superb acoustics, great distance and felt like I couldn’t miss…and all of this was after a layoff of a few weeks of not playing.
what course has paradym rentals?lol
@@dylanmontgomery2246 loads of them have smoke AI irons. Callaway is prob the number one golf course rental clubs provider. No biggie
Just ordered my set, can't wait for them to get here.
I’ve been using X22s for 15 years, and this is one o the few irons I have liked enough to consider buying.
I usually play more of a players iron but these look really good for a game improvement iron. I would be willing to play them in like a Sunday bag or something.
Shared again! Great review. Can’t wait to get my hands on these new Callaway pieces!
Thank you!
got the paradym driver will try the ai this summer for sure
I got fitted for these irons last week, was hitting my 7 iron 208 yards carry.
These clubs absolutely send the ball
(Im 6ft10, hence the long 7 iron shots)
Great video ..Nice irons keep the videos coming
Purchased today! I was hitting my 7i 170
just got them, looking forward to playing with them!
They look very similar to Pxg 0311 irons. Would be good to see a comparison test😊
Looking for new irons and completing my set with the Ai smoke woods ❤. I’d love to win those woods!
I can’t wait to try these iron. I was impressed with Callaway irons last year. Maybe it’s time for an upgrade.
I like the look of these a lot better than last years paradigms. Very nice
I do have my eye on the AI Smoke irons and would be switching from the great Rogue ST Max irons. I hope you help me decide...😉
They all look great clubs, love the woods ❤
Just got fitted for these irons today. It came down between AI Smoke, TaylorMade and Mizuno. The Smokes just felt better! Can’t wait to get them!
Same here! QI's felt too chunky. Can't wait for these to arrive (3 weeks hopefully). Interesting the P wedge is 42 degrees, I had to add the AW to the purchase so sort the gapping. Hope yours arrive soon.
Couldn’t agree more. Just went and hit the Qi Taylormade irons today, which I was certain I was buying before getting to the store. The guy doing the fitting said try these Callaway AI Smokes. They were so much better. I was carrying a 7 iron 182-185 consistently, even on mishits. The Taylormade were clunky and didn’t feel good to me. After happily trading in my Ping G425’s (worst clubs I’ve ever owned) and getting $800 in trade in for them, I’m super excited to play tomorrow with the AI Smokes.
The back looks really similar to paradym to me? Not sure I see that much of a difference from that standpoint. Love seeing the differences though and interested in how the face changes helped it!
How are the spin rates / decent angles ? My concern with an iron like this is they won’t hold a green due to being “hot” and low spin. Curious on your thoughts.
Looks like callerway have smashed it across the board this year be hard for the others to beat can't wait for your testing with them 😮
Literally can't wait to get measured for these next week
I really need to try these out
Never been a fan of callaway irons but they look mint 👌
Question, I enjoy your videos thank you head size wise. What are they like compared to the Callaway new Apex pros thank you thank you
I will cover this in another video for yo 🙌🏼
Alex, you have the dispersion wrong, what you see is the awerage distance offline, meaning that the average of 1 shot 10 yard left and 1 shot 10 yard right is exactly 0. While the dispersion is actually 20 yards. In order to get the actual dispersion you should add up all the nominal offline numbers (left and right) and divide by the number of shots..
That’s because he is an > more dispersion in his case than distance offline 😅…HE wants so bad that the people press the like button for is money back & run to the next golf shop and buy Calaway…..he has in his eyes the look of used cars dealer closing the detrimental deal ( for you )
@@aliasErEfa bit harsh.
Pretty sure you misheard what he said. He was referring to Callaways claim of 20% tighter dispersion, not that his avg offline was 20%
Just found this page but been following your main page for years!!! These suckers look nice!
Thank you!!
Just had iron fitting and landed on Calloway Ai Smoke HL- feel very soft, great distance, and good dispersion…driver fitting scheduled for tomorrow!!
How are the irons playing. Have you noticed forgiveness with them?
They feel great, very consistent distances (gained 15-20yrds from my old set), happy with them
Great reviews Alex! Man, I need a new driver!!
Tighter dispersion is the key period, most all new irons will get you good distance, tightening up the dispersion is the key to lower scores and more enjoyment
Getting these as my first fitted set of irons next week, started golfing now a little over 2 years ago, and cant wait to replace my set of Spalding beginners irons
how were they? ive got a set coming in soon
They feel great, the flighted shafts are amazing. They look great behind the Ball. And help me so much. I have mine Bent 2 degrees weaker for higher ballflight, and i hit it sooo straight
Great review!
Great review. Mine are due to be delivered tomorrow. Replacing a 12 y/o set of Ping i20s.
How you liking them?
@@mortify1897 Very pleased. More consistent shots, more flush shots, more greens in regulation! Highly recommend!
Thanks Alex!
I have a set of apex 21s i got a few years back. Might have to try these out
They are very good
With 2.68k subs how have you got you're hands on Callaways new clubs across the hole board, fair play, with that kind of magic and the good quality video i can tell you're going places.
Thanks! I actually have a tips channel with over 300K subs @alexelliottgolf , sponsored by Scottsdale but my viewers demanded a review and vlog channel, so here we go! I really appreciate the comments though and glad you like the format, all the best 🙌🏼
@@HowGoodGolf Yeah i know i was being sarcastic haha been a long time watcher of you're main Chanel, you've helped my game massively over the years :D loving the new channel, reviews are important to us guys watching. its important to hear what someone who we know and trust says about the new gear. I especially need something like this. my driver is very hit and miss still. admittedly i do have old clubs.
I think i need a set lol! Callaway might have made something that will help my game. Great video
They are very good!!!
When I was a kid my sister took me on the big wheel and rocked it back and forth. I had eaten a big soup for my tea and I leaned over the edge and spewed up on all the passengers below.
That was chunky I can tell you!
Nice but I’d like to see them vs comparable Taylor, Ping, PXG irons
Looks great
You're playing games with the dispersion number. You would better represent the dispersion by taking the distance from the centerline for each shot, ignoring whether they are left or right, adding those up and determining the average distance from the centerline (your target). Your dispersion chart shows one considerably right, two pretty much on the line, and two moderately left. I would estimate your dispersion from the centerline at 6 yards, just looking at the dispersion plot.
Good review Alex
I’m looking at either the smoke max, max fast, or the HL personally
Mine will be here in just a couple weeks !
Would like to see you test the AI HL, I think the lofts are too strong on these.
Coming up!!!
Love the look of these irons. Sound way better than Taylormade. I still like pxg the best because you can use the weights to adjust swing weight
Excellent review,a bit too expensive for me .
Are we at 35* in the PW yet?
These remind me of the PXG 0211 dc irons, in looks especially, but that aside, they do look great and would love testing them out against the irons mentioned. If the dispersion claims are true, these should sell like hotcakes.
Nice irons 👏🏼👏🏼
Pls review against the Dynapower. Thanks Alex
Will do!
Thank for the video. First impression is they do not look as nice as the original Paradym irons, which are really pretty - just saying. As for more distance, the 7 iron is 28 degrees in the smoke, whereas in last year's iteration it is 29 degrees. Maybe that's why they go four yards further? I would also be concerned with the 'low launch' because us mortals do not have a swing speed of 90mph and without a 40 degree plus decent angle the ball would rocket off firm putting surfaces. Maybe the HL iteration will be better for those with slower speeds at 30 degrees of loft.
had the original paradym irons were lovely to use but hated the sound deffinately interested in the smoke vertion sound so much better
is the only difference between these and the HL versions just the higher lofts in the HL? Are are they bigger and made different - draw bias etc? I prefer a 30* 7 iron which the HL version has.
Yeah!
are they saying these go 4-5y Passed your playing iron or passed the previous Paradym???? and 20% less dispersion than our playing irons or the previous paradym?? Big difference. almost sounds like they are boarder line, game improvement Irons.
Definitely look more aesthetic than last year’s model
They look great but I do worry about irons named after the driver and think the New Apex are better
Alex, are you ditching the cobras for these? Great video once again mate! These irons sound and looks beautiful! Callaway really setting the bar high right from the start of 2024
Seriously consider it yeah! I’m open to all brands at the minute but i loved the feel of these. Appreciate the support on the videos!
@@HowGoodGolf nice, you are really hitting them pure! Appreciate your interaction with us fans mate and all the great uploads...keep it up mate.
Lovely irons, look much better than last year. Would be interested to know if they are classed as game improvement or perhaps players distance?
Yeah that’s a great point, maybe more game improvement?
Yes - better than last year…but those graphics are hideous. The AI SMOKE name should have been molded/stamped into the metal/trim like the Titleist T100/200 and Taylormade P770/790.
The T100/150 have to be the class of irons for looks. I haven’t hit them but they scream class.
@@usa4x4trucks T100/T150 are absolutely amazing irons. But if these are game improvement irons then they're generally not going to compete with T100/T150 in the looks department.
Lovely irons, I hit the 150s in the nets the other day. However, they are not the same genre as the Paradyms, which are more like so-called game improvement irons.@@usa4x4trucks
Vs the Mizuno jpx923 hot metal pro? Cheers Nick
Great suggestion 🙌🏼
Have you done a review on the hl version?
sounds like i need to!
Great video Alex. I currently game the Paradym irons. I placed my order for the new AI irons, however they don’t ship until Feb 8th. I was never a fan of the looks of the Paradym irons. They are a forged face and I hope I don’t miss that feeling with the new AI irons. Thanks for the review!
Glad you enjoyed it !
Alex I'm thinking 42% loft on a pitching wedge,is really strong.
My irons are slightly cranked and my 9 iron is 41%
Pw 42% is pure cranked
G430 PW is 41 degrees
@@andybt3989
Even more cranked 😁
@@andybt3989
Sorry Mines is takomo 101t 46%
@@Tm-eg2lxand suddenly you’re carrying 5 wedges! They sold 6-PW+46 degree.
@@Tm-eg2lx 7 iron is 28! 🤣 so a standard set will be 6-9 plus PW and AW for £749. GW and SW plus irons longer than a 6 being £150 a club more!
My question would be the HL version are higher but are they shorter?
True !
My ZX5 MKII 5I loft is 24°
The Ben Hogan irons are some of the best looking irons out there!
Might be time to replace my old irons titlist 2008 model
New ai smokes look great keep it up
They look great right!!
@@HowGoodGolf yes they do
Definitely would help my game
Bought these irons and really like them but I'm noticing they mark up really easy. Anyone else experiencing this?
These seem to be great looking irons although maybe a little too prone to damage
Unfortunately I can't ever imagine the day I will ever be able to afford them. Look great though
I think they are only selling for about 1k USD. Not bad.
Great video, as always. Mine are on order, and I'm looking forward to the "your order has shipped" email 😁
Let’s put the distance claim to test on like for like lofts. 25 degree 6 iron. Give me break
19 degrees on a 4 iron!? I used to game a Mizuno 1 iron with 18 degrees of loft.
how do they compare to the p-790s?
Testing these today, video will be out soon!
I hope I win those drivers , because driver prices are getting insane , especially since I live in Canada and exchange rate sucka😅
Good luck!!!
I believe you have your labeling wrong. At the beginning, looks like you labeled the PW as the 5 iron on the top views
Do i? Ah well! Hope you enjoyed the video
When comparing club distances to ur own clubs you should mention what the lofts are
For sure! Great suggestion!!
@@HowGoodGolf great review tho man
22° 5 iron. That's mad. My 4 iron I'm sure is 23° mizuno
Glossy=Polished 😉
Callaway says...... So, are they going in your bag?🤔
Anyone notice that the “AI SMOKE” graphics make the irons look cheap??? Just add an Upper case “red K” and it reminds me of the Kmart logo.
The Hybrids look great - the graphics are very high end looking. They are stamped/molded into the sole. They look upscale.
I know looks don’t hit the ball, but I have to say whoever made the final call on the graphics really 💩 the bed. So many club manufactures are going with over the top graphics instead of understated class.
Just my opinion.
Yeah totally appreciate your opinion! Good to hear your thoughts for sure
Nice looking irons , but the cost is out of reach now , of most Golf club players / members
Yeah! I’m not 100% on the cost
What’s the handicap to play with these irons ?
The best handicap to play?
@@HowGoodGolf this is a club made for what handicap ?
Callaway look good
I really like my mavrik irons. Maybe it's time for an upgrade.
I think 2024 is going to be expensive.
They are but very very good!!!
@@HowGoodGolf I can always tell my wife you insisted 🤣
