Play noticeably different than the standard?
Callaway Mack Daddy 2 "Tour Grind" Wedges - THP Preview
Play noticeably different than the standard?
Yes, the leading edge is noticeably straighter, just feels like I can make crisp contact from any lie. I will get a picture comparing the two when the paint dries on the new one.
Ugh sounds like a marriage of a Cleveland 588 and md2. So perfect. Not what my wallet wanted to hear
It's the camera angle, they are the same size.

Totally skimming this thread but this grind looks a lot like a C grind. Is this true or do my eyes deceive me?

Essentially it is very, very similar with only a couple variations.

Are those the same clubs that you post a 17HC with???

Woah now dude, uncalled for. It's a joke stemming from an awesome THP event called "The Gauntlet". Personal attacks are probably not a good idea.
lets get this thread back on track. Love the t grind. Less bounce allows me to pick it clean off anything except for the hard pan when I try to open the face. It's really fun to use!
Yes. Should I try something different?

You just keep doing what you're doing buddy. It'll come down on its own with some hard work and smart choices when you're in trouble.

It's love. Love I tell ya. 3 shots stood out to me today. All of which cemented it's place in my bag.
1) In the long grass off the tee next to the par 3 green. Ball is sitting down with a little green to work with, but all down hill. Only chance to keep it close was a high, soft lander. Well, I opened up the T grind and let it work. The leading edge cut right through the long rough like butter and got me enough spin to hold the green even on the downhill. Left me about an 8 footer for par, which from that lie is great for me.
2) Second shot into a par 4, had 87 into the green just into the second cut. Laid off it a just a hair. Pin was just over a ridge on the back of the green, with everything downhill after the ridge. I couldn't have hit it any better, landed right on the ridge, and released right down to the hole for a tap in birdie. The is one of the hardest shots for me and this wedge did it instantly.
3) Flop shot into a par 5 from the rough. Had 5 yards of green to work with after 15 yards of rough with anything beyond the pin going off the green. This shot couldn't even be attempted by my old S grind. Shot was executed well and I couldn't have asked for a better result, 5 feet for birdie. It was everything like the first shot I described but better.

I snuck out after work today and played 18, got to try this bent flat to my specs and it was even more impressive than yesterday. I hit two flop shots when I short sided myself and my playing partner asked if I was using a 60 or 64* wedge to hit them. I showed him it was a 58* and he couldn't believe the height and spin I could generate with it. The straighter leading edge is great for low flighted spinning chips as well. I don't know if I will go with one in the 52* or keep the standard MD2 since I don't really manipulate the face all that much on that club.

One of my buddies also asked if mine was a 60* on a flop shot. I just said I opened up a 56* and he was instantly intrigued. I said the concept is not new, but something I haven't done with a SW loft before.
It's amazing how open the face can be and the leading edge stays low to the ground.
