Testers Wanted: Callaway Ai Smoke Drivers

Coming off an impressive performance in MyGolfSpy’s Best Driver of 2024 testing, we just had to get these drivers into the hands of our member testing community.

The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond took home second place in the overall standings and the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke D managed third place, awarded Best for Distance.

Callaway is no stranger to performing well in Most Wanted testing but this year’s performance is especially impressive, considering a total of 37 drivers were part of the testing, the most ever in Most Wanted history.

About the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Series:

(Editor’s Note: While the rest of the world calls artificial intelligence “AI,” for some reason Callaway insists on a lower-case “i”.)

The second generation of Paradym added a new AI-optimized face which Callaway calls “micro deflections”, aiding downrange accuracy. The Carbon Chassis is also 15-percent lighter than the original, helping redistribute weight into other areas, thus making the series more forgiving. The Paradym Ai Smoke series is also the first in several generations not to include Jailbreak.

Tiger’s 24 Straight Made Cuts At The Masters Is The Most Admirable Record Of His Career

There is a long list of Tiger Woods accomplishments that are more impressive from a pure golf perspective than the one he set Friday at the Masters.

You know the records. Bursting onto the scene in the 1997 Masters to win by 12 strokes. Clobbering everyone at the 2000 U.S. Open by 15 strokes. Having 82 PGA Tour victories to tie Sam Snead. Spending 683 weeks at No. 1 in the world, including 281 weeks consecutively. Making 142 cuts in a row between 1998 and 2005.

This article would be 10,000 words long if I named them all. Jack Nicklaus may have had the better career in totality but nobody has ever played golf at the level Tiger did.

He’s in a different stage of his golf life now. Tiger, who will be 49 years old at the end of this year, still has the requisite talent to compete against the world’s best—but he is short on health and reps.

Coming into this week in Augusta, Woods had played just 24 holes of PGA Tour golf in the past year. The last official event he completed was 14 months ago.

Friday At The 2024 Masters

Under Armour’s Cheesy Take on the Masters

Salty that you can’t make it to the Masters this year to taste the classic pimento cheese sandwich? Under Armour’s new limited-edition golf collection will serve as some consolation.

The cheesy golf collection is inspired by, of all things, Augusta’s famed sandwich. The eight-piece pack is headlined by Under Armour’s Drive Pro and Phantom golf shoes.

Each piece is tastefully draped in hues of green, grey, white or tan. And, of course, each special piece is blessed with UA’s new pimento cheese sandwich emblem. I’m no graphic designer but the logo is absolutely “S-tier” (as the kids say these days). Translation: it’s great.

This is, without a doubt, one of the more subtle Masters-themed product drops this year. And that’s a good thing. For a brand like Under Armour which is really dipping its toes into the world of themed golf gear, I think the new limited-edition collection is a “major” win.

You can shop the entire drop now at Under Armour.

With New 3-D Printed Avoda Irons, The Bryson Experience Returns At The Masters

We have the makings of a compelling weekend at the 88th Masters.

A possible central character? It could, somehow, be the enigmatic Bryson DeChambeau.

DeChambeau shot a 2-under 65 (if you know, you know) on Thursday to take an unexpected lead at Augusta National, one stroke clear of Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 who came into the tournament as an overwhelming favorite and opened the Masters with a firm statement that he is still the man to beat.

But while Scheffler put together a nearly perfect bogey-free round in his march toward a potential second major victory, DeChambeau’s cameo immediately injected an added level of intrigue into the tournament.

And he’s doing so with irons that just hit the USGA conforming list four days ago.
