Why We Like It
The Paradym Ai Smoke is designed for players with faster swings. This model is made for players who swing a little slower and carry their 7-iron less than 130 yards. That player needs help achieving a healthy ball flight. Using real-player data, the company’s supercomputer simulated tens of thousands of impacts to arrive at a design that improves launch and spin and would keep the ball in the air longer—something that can be the difference between fixing a pitch mark on the green or fishing the ball out of the water.
Characteristics
- Urethane microspheres produce a pleasing sound at impact.

Reviews
The high launch name is very fitting. Gets the ball in the air with a ton of distance. Workable and forgiving. Center-face contact is rewarded.
Alex, 39, Handicap: 11The technology in this club is hidden at address. Smooth feel, almost buttery. Comes off with a lot of velocity and energy. Very controllable. Increase in distance.
RC, 62, Handicap: 7They're not lying when they say high launch. These irons produced my highest descent angle of any club I hit in this category. Nice, predictable ball flight.
Jack, 34, Handicap: 1Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
