I feel the same about them. I spent a little time with @Doubleb21 ’s Paradym. Ai Smoke feel the same ay I remember on center strikes. Which is to say … very very good.I wanted to take a minute and discuss something that I was very curious about heading into the Ai Smoke irons coming from Apex and Paradym last year among a few other sets. I was curious about the feel. While I am not uber sensitive to it, when you test as much as I do, sound is just a thing that stands out. I felt as though the Paradym lineup of irons last year were some of the best feeling they have produced in a while. Just loved the impact sound and each time I hit them, I had this craving to hit more. That is kind of the measuring stick for me, especially indoors where it is amplified.
I had concerns that Ai Smoke being slightly larger or cast or just a different design I would have a drop off, and frankly I am just not seeing it. They sound good. A nice crack at impact and they feel superb. Playing them with the same shafts and grips I did last year and while on the course last week, I felt confident, partly because I know where I am missing on the face, and know that when hit well, they just feel "right".
Am I the only one thinking this? Or does everybody kind of agree?
