Finally. A manufacturer has created a driver, with a bigger sweet spot, more forgiveness on off-center hits, lower spin rates, higher ball flights and more distance.

Hey Rick, great video as always. An idea would maybe be to bring in a higher handicap player and allow him to compare his 4-8 year old driver up to these new ones. That way we can get a better idea of the differences for a higher handicap player with an older club and you, a scratch golfer, comparing to last years model. Thanks for the review, I look forward to the next one.

Love Rick, he has solid reviews. I trust his recos and just enjoy his personality. Go Rick!!!!!!!

Solid review! I just did a session with a stealth driver, the new ping driver, and the Callaway paradym max. It wasn’t even close. The paradym smoke figuratively smoked the other two drivers. My swing speed was right at about 100 to 105 consistently my ball speed was between 130 and 139 consistently with all three drivers but my actual distance of the ball was 60 yards longer with the paradym smoke than the other two. I love this freaking club!

Absolutely love this guy. Love how he looks at each driver from a different perspective to all players and not just to his game. Definitely my favorite club review KZfaqr. Guy is on another level and keeps raising the bar!

You introduced me to golf and now I have my new favorite hobby my far. Keep up the great work

Just took mine out for the first time today. After play a decade plus with the same driver. This thing is effortless! I was blown away!

Just started golfing and now I watch all of your videos. Thank you for making golfing fun and learnable.

I think we can all respect Rick for a nice honest review of the club. Keep up making great content Rick ❤

Only recently got into golf and you have been the first channel I go to for learning more about it. Certainly did not expect everything to be as complicated and technical as it is but I'm slowly getting better. So thank you for all the help in the journey to suck a little less at golf every day Rick!

Really like Ricks comprehensive reviews and super excited about the AI Smoke lineup.

Thanks for reviewing the Smoke, always enjoy the videos. This will help me select my next driver.

Back playing golf after 20 years. Your videos have been a major inspiration and help in my return to the game!

Rick can’t thank you enough for the game improvement tips and club reviews. And just pure fun of watching your videos.

I feel like your reviews are more detailed and honest that all other KZfaqrs. Thank you.

As always, another great review! Thank you for explaining what the average golfer needs!

As a new golfer Rick has been exceptional at helping me figure out my swing and feel comfortable trying to tune in my game. Much respect Rick

How could you not love new driver season? Rick always puts out amazing content. Excited for 2024 Rick!

12:47 Love how every time Rick is giving his stats, it's like he is in the front of a queue at the takeaway trying to remember the families order.

Wow this driver looks amazing! Beats my hand-me-down Fazer lol

really appreciate the in-depth reviews, finally time for me to do a full bag fitting and it seems like its coming at the right time.

Broke 100 yesterday! Thanks Rick for all of the help!

I love your reviews Rick as much as watching you and your guests play rounds. Both my husband and I use Callaway clubs and this club might be a lovely gift for him. It looks gorgeous and you seem to like it so it’s on my list!

Beautiful clubs and top notch review. Hadn’t watched it yet because I was still hoping to buy the Paradym from last year 🤣 finally said heck it

This has to be the best part of the new year!! Driver review season!!! ⛳️❤️

Rick I love your videos they have always helped me choose my clubs as a 14 year old golfer you have been a big factor that helped me break 85 multiple times last summer from the men’s tees thank you so much and keep up the great work making great videos for us.

Never owned a callaway driver...until this free one! Keep up the great work. Love the equipment reviews!

I have one and it is so great my friend tried it and loved it but doesn't have enough to buy one so we share it and it is a great driver

Love to see a side by side with last year’s Paradym lineup to get a real idea of how much improvement there is

It's really interesting to see Callaway and Taylormade trying to best each other in the driver market! I liked how he tests each one and shows us the distinct differences between each version.

Rick is the authority on golf @ KZfaq. I always check his opinion on new equip. Way to go mr rick

only just found this channel, binge watching loads of the videos. Very enjoyable so far!

Would love this driver I played on New Year’s Day and my driver snapped I have been looking at other cheaper options but this driver would be a dream great vid Rick 👏🏼

So many positives, can't wait to see what new releases compete with this this year 👍

Learning so much from you Rick! Love the new Callaway drivers they look so clean. launching grand slams

These drivers look incredible! We just had a load delivered to where I work and the quality is mind blowing. Callaway have gone full into their quality and refinement. I will definitely be buying an Ai Smoke.

This gets me pumped to see what the rest of the bunch has in store for the new season

Drivers just seem to get better and better and this one looks very good. Loving the reviews

I have been on a Calloway Rogue for so long, love the product and thinking about upgrading. Thank you Rick for the review and insight!

Always been a fan of Callaway, and it seems they keep moving in a great direction

Would love to see some different types of golfers hitting this club skillwise (amateur, average, pro etc.) Would be a great comparison for those looking to upgrade this year. Great content Rick!

Love the review, very thorough and concise. I would love this driver! As a new golfer I rely on videos like this to guide me through what to buy as there are so many drivers out there. Rick was the first golfer I subscribed to and always watch his videos. I Will happily drive up to collect and maybe do a video of collection and first use with you Rick?

That driver sounds incredible. I love that classic golf driver crunch sound. It always sounds like a nice solid hit. I pick up on that sound at the range when someone has a nice driver in their hand. Good luck, everyone!

Wow! Getting one of those drivers is so tempting!!! You were smashing the ball!

My handicap is currently a 22 and I just started golfing a year and a half ago and have 1 hole in 1 under my belt I think this lefty needs this driver 🏆🤘🏼just grabbed some Callaway Rogues due to watching your videos thanks again Rick :)

Sick driver, love to show up to the next round of golf with the boys carrying one of these in my bag

Love all your reviews Rick! You just seem to make it more relatable for the viewer. Loving the H.I.T studio BTW!

Thanks Rick, your videos have helped me rejuvenate my love for the game. Helping me with your tips get back on the course.

Started golfing last year really like your video they help a lot rick

Rick thank you for coming in with the clutch videos on the driver! You’re the real mvp man! Been playing golf for 1 year and you helped so much! Keep it up brother!

Love your work Rick! Definitely cannot wait to get my hands on one of these cause damn my slice is the best in the game right now…I could start my own bread company 😅

Another giveaway Ricky Shiels you are the man !

I just got a paradigm last year and I love the looks of this one over mine and the more forgiving

Hello Rick! I love your new studio!!! So jealous. I would be super happy to get my hands on that Smoke driver!!!!!!❤

I fell in love with my A1 Max , I literally gained 40 yards, such a good feeling club, feels really solid..

Nice to have a more forgiving driver

Congratulations on all the success! Always enjoy the equipment reviews and the unbiased way in which you present them. Good luck with the merchandise and have a great 2024 golf year.

I love the new design. And I like all the sweet spots that can give you some forgiveness. Love it

started golfing in 2016 watching every one of your helpful videos. Good review and looking forward to trying the paradym out.

Thanks Rick for all the hard work and wonderful guidance you give us. I been working on my driver after my lower back surgery and I starting to get 200 yards back. I think the Ai Smoke will help with my miss hits and go well with my Callaway Irons. Great job and look forward to more of your golf trips to Florida too.

Looks like a solid driver, can't wait to demo one.

I've ever been a fan of callaway clubs . but I am going to go to my local shop and check that one out and hopefully get a chance to test it.

Always love your videos. My current driver was created before the idea of forgiveness was popularized.

I’ve all your reviews Rick! Thanks for what y’all do! Really help the average guys out.

You do a great job at making me want to buy one more and more the more I listen to this video

I appreciate a well rounded, complete review that includes both studio & on course evaluation.Thanks!

I started golfing cause of your videos been watching daily ever since!

Thank you for all the information about this Driver!!!

Thanks for the video! Sounds like the Max D would be right for my slice.

Thanks for the review, Rick. This driver seems to have all the bases covered.

hey rick i love your channel i’ve been here for 4 years and i learned my swing from your videos, thank you for so much entertainment and all your reviews they have helped me find my current clubs

Keep up the good work, and good luck for all you do this year..... 👊

Great review thank you!

Thank you Rick for review , can wait to test new driver!

Going Sunday to be fitted for a set of clubs. I'm looking at the AI Smoke. Thanks for the video

It’s a great driver. Hit the Max and Max Fast this week and I’m sold on the results. A good 15-20 yard gain and hitting all the fairways.

A little slow getting to the videos, but man do I love driver release season for Rick! Best reviews out there!!

You’re great at what you do Rick! Thanks for the review!

Yesterday tested Epic, Parqdym and Smoke. I don't know how they did this, but Smoke flies straight even when I was trying to hit draw. Yes, if you miss hit, it flies different directions, but any way.. even after bad shot, it flies about 150-200m. And when I felt it should be slice, it goes almost straight. May choice stays for Smoke. 👍

Love your videos! I’m late but wanted to learn what’s available this year. Still playing my dads 20 yr old hammiedown

Always love the reviews Rick. Nobody better on KZfaq!

superb review as always rick, good info and data on these new drivers well done keep up the good work

I have been playing callaway for years and last years Paradyme will be hard to beat excited to test this one.

This driver would be a great upgrade from the Cleveland I have currently! What a great looking club as well. Good job Callaway, and thanks for the review Rick!

the graphics on the bottom has me sold. beautiful club

Been watching for a few years now. Picked up golf again three years ago and Rick definitely helped me get my swing going

yo i have been waching for years now and i love the vids man well done

Another great review from Rick! The Ai Smoke looks sick! Keep up the great work!

Once I'm ready to get fitted, this will be the set I do it with

Thanks for yet another great review Rick! Love where the channel is at right now! Could definitely use a new driver... winning an AI Smoke would sure be a treat. Keep up the great content!!

Rick, love your reviews! Very helpful and sometimes funny !

I love the look of this new driver and the fact it helps faders like me is awesome

I’m absolutely in love with this new lineup of drivers that Callaway has put out! I’m hoping to move on from my beginner’s set driver and finally be able to get a new one like this 🙏🏽

Rick I've been watching you since you started. I need this driver!! Cheers mate

Thanks Rick for doing reviews like this! They are helpful as our swing numbers and data are almost the same so it always helps me to get an idea of where I need to start with fitting. Hope to use this in my next tournament!

Very good content, just discovered your podcast and it is quite delightful!

Great review Rick. I watch all your videos but have never commented. I love all of your stuff. Thanks for taking the time to review stuff for us.

Broke 100 last week, thanks for the great vids Rick. Keep them coming.

Been watching you for years, love the content especially the collab content

Been watching the channel for some time. It is my go to for reviews, very knowledgeable, and informational. Keep it up Rick doing good things.
