The bunker in golf is still feared by many a golfer and over the last few years several companies have come out with very well made specialty wedges designed to make it easier. The problem is almost always technique based, however armed with the right piece of equipment, a player can get assistance to some of their issues. Hank Haney collaborated with Callaway R&D to create a wedge that will make the play at greenside, easier.
What is it?
Broken down the Sure Out is a wedge created to help golfers of all skill levels struggle less around the green, especially from the sand and rough. The sole is designed with enhanced camber and high bounce to glide (rather than dig) through the thicker rough and even the sand without needing to manipulate the club head. Players have become accustomed to opening up the club face of a wedge and it has caused some to suffer with proper contact. The Sure Out is designed to no longer have to open up the wedge before taking aim.
“Sure Out allows you to simplify bunker shots by playing them with a square face,” says Hank Haney. “For a lot of golfers that struggle with their short game, the Sure Out could be exactly the wedge they are looking for.”
Features & Benefits
Easy Explosions from Greenside Bunkers
New enhanced-camber, high-bounce Sure Out sole glides cleanly through sand without the need to open the face at address, generating easy, high, soft-landing shots.
Solid Contact for Consistent Distance Control
A wider sole and larger face area promote solid face-to-ball contact for optimal distance control.
High Spin for Fast-stopping Shots
17 full-face grooves and an aggressive groove geometry promote fast, shot-stopping spin even on off-center hits.

Thank you for a great review. Will a woman’s version be available?
Ted,
This version can be used by anybody in our opinion.
I really struggle out of the bunker and think something like this could really help.
Thanks for a great review!
The way I’ve been playing of late out of bunkers I might need to try this…
Never really hit a club like this before, might be worth looking into.
This wedge, though not what I would be looking for personally, has the potential to be a great add to the wedge line up for Callaway Golf.
Looks interesting, would like to try one out.
I’d love to see some side by side testing on this wedge vs the MD3’s. The look would have to grow on me but if it works, it works. Performance is #1 priority.
At this time, I’ve never really considered using one of these ‘helper’ wedges, but I wouldn’t mind trying one out just to see what all the fuss is about. 🙂
Would really like to see this become a popular product for Callaway. Could be really great for people who have issues getting out of the sand!
Hope it’s successful for Callaway. I just personally don’t care for the looks for it.
Interesting design sounds like it can help some people out.
I love this competition! Definitely going to get one of these in hand to see how it feels – I’ll take any advantage I can!
As someone who struggles with bunker shots this club may be right up my alley!
I know some of these get the label of “cheater wedge” but I used the Cleveland smart sole wedge for half a season and it helped to build confidence in my short game as I transitioned to a traditional wedge. If you need help with wedge shots, at least give this a try.
Never tried a club with this design. Might be interesting to see if it can help in a bunker. Nice product from Callaway !
Great write up. This might be a great club for me. I have a lot of trouble in the sand and around the green. I’ll keep this in mind. Could be a good replacement for my 60* wedge.
VERY interested….I’m a terrible bunker player
I bought this wedge and love it. Has helped my short game tremendously. I use it from 60 yards in, works great. As far as a cheater club, what about everyone who uses a 460cc driver. Not a cheater club, it is a club that helps the avrrage player. Just like the forgiving huge drivers.
