Over the last few years, Callaway Golf has released new wedges, and none of them have received the early buzz that this new line is receiving. Whether it be from the the change in the company’s outlook or the reaction from that change by the golfer, when the first teaser picture from Callaway went up on their Twitter feed, people were buzzing.
The company is touting more spin and versatility from everywhere. Bold claims that will be put to the test coming up soon, but early thoughts are, we like what we are seeing. Callaway will also be doing a video series with Roger Cleveland, creator of this line, to help educate golfers and THP always says, an informed golfer is a smarter golfer.
Features & Benefits
5V Groove Pattern
• 39% larger grooves provide more spin and control from all lies and distances
• Creates 25% more spin than previous model
Micro Groove Pattern
• Increased surface roughness and laser milled micro grooves provide more clubface-to-golf ball friction for higher spin out of all lies and from all distances
• Pre conditions the face to add surface roughness after the micro grooves wear off
Tour-Inspired Shape
• Created by Callaway Chief Designer Roger Cleveland
• Inspired by feedback from Tour, Roger Cleveland has designed a wedge with all the attributes preferred by Tour Players
• Forged from 1020 carbon steel for soft feel
Custom Sole Grinds
• C –Grind
* Relief is ground out of the heel and toe, which enables golfers to lay the face open while effectively reducing the bounce angle. This allows for proper contact and maximum spin and control.
• U Grind
* Inspired by short game wizard Phil Mickelson. This grind increases the dynamic bounce angle (actual bounce of the club when the ball is struck) without increasing the static bounce angle.
Finish Options
• Chrome produces a smoky, muted look that helps reduce glare
• Slate finish oxidizes over time for a distinctive look
Cost
$119
Good looking wedges! When I thought wedges in the past, Callaway wasn’t what popped in my mind. These will get a hard look when it comes that time.
Oh, man, those look awesome. That much more spin? Holy smokes. Innovative grooves/milling.
I never swung the original MD so I am very excited to swing the MD2. The face looks different than other wedges I have seen. And the C-grind seems to be right up my alley
With a face like that how could you not love those .Great looking club Callaway .
Those are some great looking wedges. I look forward to seeing them in person when they hit retail.
Some sharp looking wedges will be interested in the upcoming testing and the performance compared to the recent years releases
Can not wait to put these wedges into play.
At $119 per wedge you can’t go wrong either
A sexy wedge with nice tech for that price? Nice job, Callaway!
Been watching these ever since they hit the twitter feed. I thought the name Mac Daddy just fit so perfectly, these things just look bad to the bone. Hope I get to swing one soon.
Man do those look great! Can’t wait to see how the perform on the course. This can only improve my current wedge game!
they sure look good. can’t wait to try them out.
I could definitely see one or two of these wandering into my bag at some point in the future. Good looking wedges and I’m digging the OG Mack Daddy wedges right now. If these are even close to those, Callaway is gonna sell a bunch of these things.
I am loving the grooves on these wedges!! I love my Callaway forged wedges from last year and these look even more deadly!
I think these are beautiful, I am looking forward to getting a chance to hit them. Well done Callaway.
Good looking wedges, and really reasonable price-point.
Great job Callaway !
