This was a big surprise as well. I was expecting a larger head and when I first saw them in the wild, I was pleasantly surprised with the size and shape. Much more refined and the most appealing cosmetics IMO that they’ve produced. -

Testers Announced! Callaway Ai-Smoke Drivers

Hopefully the Smoke Max D (high MOI) will give you what you need. I tried the 425 and had the same thoughts as you. It wasn’t really any better than my g400 and then we enter the “there still has to be something better out there” mindset. Wishing you luck with the test!!! -

Definitely makes sense to me. Well said. -

That’s legit. I appreciate the candor and despite the anticipation of a brand new club in your bag, you’re grounded enough to remain fair. I’m excited to see how it works for you. You deserve a trusted driver in the bag. -
Easy to drag the bottom and say least. I’ll flip it and say my favorite. Adam Scott. No drama. By all accounts a gentleman. Has withstood the test of time and keeps his private life private. Respect.

I know you’re familiar with your swing and recent hands on experiences with complete fittings. What’s your past experience with Callaway woods and are there any internal bias’ you have for the good or bad? -

You’re kind for saying this. It’s helped me feel a better sense of staying connected and helps me keep my arms in sync with my torso. This may sound silly but my swing thought Here is that my right elbow fires like a piston. That helps me rotate at a proper speed and stay connected. -

Thanks Rob. Not this time. It was 119 to an elevated green and I had to step into it. If it were level ground I may have been able to get it there but landed front edge and sucked it back short of the green. Thats about my limit maxed out. Next time it’s a PW for sure. -

Looks alone, they’re top tier. Final reviews should be a lot of fun to prepare. -

Pretty much the same gap that I play. Fingers crossed they have some for you to use. Let us know how it goes. They’re fantastic. -

I agree with @GolfSpy_APH regarding weight. Flex is so ambiguous between OEM’s that it’s hard to say regular v stiff. I’d dial in a comfortable weight and since you’re still in the 90’s, the 40 gram may not give you what you need for consistency.
