Updated September 25, 2026 · By the ClubComps team

Callaway has released a new game-improvement iron almost every year since 2022: Rogue ST, Paradym, Paradym Ai Smoke, Elyte and Quantum. Here's how to tell them apart and what each sells for used. For the Apex line, see our Apex guide. Jump to used prices.

Quick reference

Iron	In stores	How to spot it	Launch price
Quantum	February 27, 2026	Cavity back (Elyte was hollow); Max, Max OS, HL and Max Fast versions	$164 per iron (steel)
Elyte	February 7, 2025	Chrome finish and chrome badge, no big splashes of color	$899.99 (6 irons, steel)
Paradym Ai Smoke	January 26, 2024	"Smoky" badging, thinner topline and sole	$999.99 (7 irons, steel)
Paradym / Paradym X	February 24, 2023	Brushed chrome with dark blue and yellow accents; X has a thicker topline and wider sole	$200 per iron (steel)
Rogue ST Max / Max OS	February 18, 2022	Max OS has a slightly larger head; Max OS Lite has lighter shafts	$999 (7 irons, steel)

Paradym vs Paradym Ai SmokeBoth say Paradym. Look for "Ai Smoke" on the badge. The 2023 Paradym (not the X) is a players-distance iron, while Paradym X and Ai Smoke are game-improvement irons.

Sub-models

X: the bigger, more forgiving version of Paradym and Elyte.
HL: high launch, for golfers who carry a 7-iron about 130 yards or less.
Max Fast: lightweight builds for slower swings.
Max OS: oversized, super game-improvement heads.

Source: completed eBay sales from the 90 days ending September 24, 2026, via eBay's Terapeak research tool. Ranges show the middle half of sales (25th to 75th percentile), so unusually cheap or expensive sales don't skew them. Titles are seller-reported, so a few model or year labels may be wrong.

Iron prices are for complete sets (usually 5-PW, 4-PW or 5-GW) and exclude single irons and head-only sales. Set makeup varies, so bigger sets sell toward the top of each range.

Rogue ST Max sales in our sample came mostly from one seller with many sets, so we've left it out rather than show a misleading number. Elyte launched with six irons rather than seven, so compare set sizes when you shop.
