High HCPBeginner

The Callaway Ai Smoke Max D is the maximum draw-bias driver in the 2024 Ai Smoke family, purpose-built for golfers who struggle with a persistent slice. Significant heel weighting and an offset hosel combine to promote a right-to-left ball flight. Paired with the Ai Smart Face and a lightweight construction, this driver helps higher handicappers find the fairway more often.
