Callaway JAWS Raw Wedges
I read it this morning in my stupor. I’ll reread it now that I’m wide awakeYesssssirrrrr! I knew people would want to know that one! And man, talk about an impressive number
Great write up. I love the look of them and the black finish is perfect. Was thinking my next wedges were going to be Vokey SM9s but that may have changed.
30% is a massive jump in the golf world. I never tried the MD5s but these are very high on the list.Yesssssirrrrr! I knew people would want to know that one! And man, talk about an impressive number
Adding to this. For past raw wedges, has the claim been that rust will add spin? Whereas here Callaway is going raw to maintain as sharp a groove edge as possible.
Great write up. 17 different combinations should cover just about anyone. And I'm super intrigued by the tri level sole design for the Z grind. I come fairly steep so anything that can help me with contact there is something I need to try out!

No, that’s never been a claim, it’s and internet folklore thing. Rust itself will not add spin, but the removal of plating on the grooves, can.
Always thought if it was on the internet it was true
Thanks, it definitely makes sense when looking at plating thicknesses and how precise the groove edges are.
I'll be very interested in a 48° or 50°. Will be in the market (just cannot get along with any set's GW, it seems).
I play the Full-Toes and understand why the grooves wouldn't be made for a GW, but I wish they made one in that model with a standard face, then. Really, really enjoy playing my 54° and 58° FT so maybe the JAWS Raw will offer some similarity/familiarity as sort of a natural transition to GW.

Me too.... me too!
correct! Rust doesn't equal spin, friction does... rust doesn't add friction

Really love this picture that shows the groove-in-groove micro-grooves. This may be a dumb question. Do the micro-grooves extend into the main grooves so that there is little micro-peaks along the main groove edge?

Agreed, eliminating the C is smart, especially if it can be done with a sole that keeps that’s versatility but actually makes it playable for most average golfers without digging to the other side of the globe.
well I know exactly what I’m going to do day one, and it involves hammers and stamps.
my word these are incredible

Oh my… the hosel change + tungsten weighting is very interesting. Love the raw! Not sure about the black, but the chrome looks like it’s 
the Z grind is interesting too. Just when I thought I was set with my set…

Just what I need another wedge.
Yeah 30% is an insane number if you think about it. 300 more rpm per 1000 from MD5
Wonder what the gains are in dry conditions.

Very nice article, well done! Wonder if the Mack Daddy wedges will drop in price soon now.
Already did!
