Fitting was moved to tomorrow. Anxious to see what the W grind is all about.
Callaway MD5 Jaws Wedges
Got to hit several different bounce and grind options, and as expected, I really just need more bounce than I’m getting with my 54S. It’s costing me yardage and creates too large a gap from Aw to 54.
Ended up with the 54W which really felt so much better interacting with the grass.
also went with a 58S for some versatility and knockdown shots that I like.
Going to add the TT elevate tour shafts to match my irons as long as the wait isn’t too long. Same with finish, whatever is in stock.
I did get a chance to hit the new Jaws forged, and it is awesome. Unfortunately the grind/bounce options aren’t available like the regular Jaws, so it didn’t work for me, but it was nice!

I think I may look at swapping testing a 54s out, in place of my 54 PM Grind19. I like the PM grind in the 58, but looking to switch things up in the 54 and want something where I can hit a variety of shot with. Looks like they're around $80 now in like new condition on CPO, just not in 54s.
I had a really fun time hitting these wedges this weekend. My favorite shots were (a) the 62* opened up to clear a massive pine tree and land pin high from 75 yards, and (b) the 56 from 92 that stopped within two feet--even I could make that putt.
My 62 is also beginning to rust nicely after a couple damp rounds.

Up vote for rust. 
i absolutely adore these wedges. my favorite shape. my favorite feel. just so much confidence.
i’m trying to order some jaw wedges right now. 56 and 60. the question is do i go x grind for both, or x in 56 and t in 60?!

I don't love them. I score well enough with them though that this seemed like the right move.

KABOOM BABY!
I love it... it's like dating the twins.
Just time for a fresh set? Or did you go with a different shaft in the new ones?
Mine are due for a refresh here eventually. I do love mine and will likely be grabbing another 54/60 at some point, but want to go see what else is out there before I pull the trigger.

I played the 54s and 58w from the end of 2019 through 2020 and loved them. After getting fitted for new irons in 2020 I ended up getting a 56s and a 56w both adjusted to 55 and a 60w adjusted to 59 so that they would gap better with my new set of irons. I also had the same shafts installed into them. Well this year I used the 56w (55) during the damp portion of my season and I have to say I’m now also playing it during the dry and it’s just as good! Also I was a little afraid to use the 60w (59) for chips and full shots but oh man I feel like a sniper/Phil Mc with it. Love these clubs!!! I may have to buy a few more to keep in storage because I’m afraid Callaway is going to ruin a good thing with the next “upgrade”
If you like the W grind, you may want to give the X a try on the 60˚. We play in soft conditions here 8 months out of the year and it's been great for me around the green. The heel/toe relief makes it super easy to open up, even in the fairway if needed. I do get a little too cocky with it sometimes though and think I'd be better suited going with the 54S.
full toe? hard pass.
I guess we will find out fairly soon…
Maybe just full face grooves and not Hi-toe...?

Was waiting for you to come in here and order 2!
still a pass for me. i get the idea and i'm not doubting that it works, but i hate the look at address.
I think that's fair. I'm prone to miss on the toe with certain short game shots, especially when I open up the face a little, so having extended grooves helps minimize the knuckleball shots.

I play a lot of "Up heel" Chips off the green, would think the extended grooves would help.
Haven't seen the pics yet, but full face grooves on a Jaws wedge would have my full attention.

For the people that went to the MD5s from another wedge, did the MD5 weight significantly more than the previous? Someone I played with said they were much heavier than SM8s.
