Has anyone played the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 7 Wood?

I am hearing a lot of good things about the Paradym Ai smoke fairway woods.  I am thinking of replacing my hybrid with a 7 wood.  Has anyone played or tried the Triple Diamond 7 Wood?  Thanks for your replies!

I had one transferred in to my local shop so I could hit it, was not my specs (it was a 70-S, my 3W is an 85-X, so I’d be looking for a 9-X shaft), and I would recommend you do the same.
 

The face felt great and launch was excellent. Peak height around 120 ft, drops soft, 215–225 yards, easy to work left and right, very confidence-inspiring at address. Small head and the right balance between shallow and deep. I have an order in through my shop for one with a 90-X Kai’li shaft.

 

Edited to add: I used a Sim2 17° hybrid last season for this distance and found the flight was too low for the long par 3/short par 5 approach I needed the club for, and the club went too far (225-235 with roll). I planned to replace it this season with a PXG 0311T 3i, but again, flight’s a bit low and this time the club’s too short (205-215).  I plan to switch back and forth between the PXG and the 7w depending on the course.

Adding context about prior bag setups.

Just got one last week with a Ventus TR Red 7X shaft. I've only hit in on the course a handful of times so far, but thus far it's a weapon. I've hit it 3 times off the tee on holes that required less than driver and only twice on approaches to par 5s. But all in all five instances, it did exactly what I wanted/expected. It's a 7 wood height and 5 wood distance club for me and like hitting a 9 iron it's so easy. Point and shoot. As another poster said, perfect balance of face height.

 

Just got a 3 wood yesterday and can't wait to get it out on the course tomorrow.
