I’m eager to hear everyone’s experiences and opinions. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

I’ve tried the Paradym AI Smoke Irons and they are impressive! The distance control is fantastic; I found my shots going exactly where I aimed. The forgiveness is another standout feature. Even on mishits, I managed decent distance and accuracy.

That’s great to hear, jeffrey43! I’ve been looking for something that provides consistency. How does the swing weight feel compared to other irons you’ve used?

The swing weight is surprisingly balanced, which really helps with stability through my swing. I feel much more confident with my setup. I’ve compared them to TaylorMade P7s, and I think the Paradym has a slight edge in forgiveness.

Could you elaborate on the forgiveness aspect? I’ve struggled with that in the past with other sets. If these really do hold up on mishits, I’m sold!

From my experience, the Paradym’s design really does help maintain distance even on off-center hits. I felt my mishits still carried pretty well compared to previous irons I owned. Definitely a worthwhile try.

Forgiveness is key! I often hit the ball a bit off-center, so these might be a great fit for me too. Thanks for sharing, everyone! Any thoughts on the price point?

The price is a bit steep compared to some other options, but I think you get what you pay for in terms of performance. I found the investment worth it given the improved consistency I’ve experienced.

That makes sense. Just curious, have any of you tried them in different weather conditions? How do they hold up on windy days?

I played a round in some windy conditions and felt surprisingly in control. The design seems to keep the ball on a solid line, even when the wind picked up. Much better than my last set, which were more of a challenge in those conditions.

That’s reassuring to hear! I have seen a few negative reviews where people argue they lack feel. Have any of you experienced that?

I can see where some might feel that way, but in my experience, the trade-off for distance and control was worth it. I think it all comes down to personal preference. Some players might prioritize feel over the other metrics!

I’ve been using the Paradym AI Smoke Irons for a couple of months now, and overall, I’m impressed. The grip is super comfortable, and I feel in control during swings. Definitely a step up from my old clubs!

That’s great to hear, bakermolly! I’ve found that the feedback at impact is solid too. You can really feel when you’re hitting the sweet spot!

I agree with both of you! The Paradym AI Smoke Irons have an excellent feel when you’re playing. I especially love how they handle on the course. They’ve boosted my confidence with every swing.

How does the grip compare to other models? I’ve always struggled with comfort on long rounds. Could you share more about that?

To answer cindy66, I’d say the grip is one of the best features. It keeps your hands comfortable throughout the round, even when you sweat. I had no issues with slippage or discomfort.

Nice feedback, cscott! I’ve struggled with grip comfort before. I might give these irons a try. Do they provide enough feedback on mishits?

Definitely! The feedback during swings is quite noticeable. You know right away if you miss the sweet spot, which helps in making adjustments.

But does that feedback feel harsh? Sometimes I prefer something a little softer on mishits to avoid feeling beat up during a long round.
