Full reviewThe short answer
Buy the Paradym Ai Smoke Max 3-wood if you want the newer design (2024), you need help getting the ball in the air.
Buy the SIM2 Max 3-wood if you want to spend less (older models sell for much less used), you already hit it high and want a flatter flight.
Both sell used for well under their launch prices ($380 and $300). Live used prices are coming soon; until then, use the shop links to see what each costs today.
