The new wedges feature 21 grooves, which amounts to roughly 40% more grooves than previous models. While not 100% unique, Callaway was the first on the scene with a more grooves = more spin approach to overcoming the limitation of the 2010 groove rule. There’s some fine print associated with those tests, but the point Callaway is trying to make is that wedges didn’t stop creating spin when the new rules went into effect. Callaway has entered that particular fray by claiming their new wedges out spin competitor’s wedges from light, wet rough. While the industry guys I’ve spoken with have quietly acknowledged that raw spin numbers aren’t what the were with the old grooves, most of the talk we’re hearing focuses on improved spin from the rough and under wet conditions. With a solid year of “new groove rule” changes under their belts, OEMs have developed a few new ideas for generating more spin all within the confines of the USGA regulations, of course. You want a real Cleveland wedge? Buy a Callaway. My point is, few if any know more about wedge design than Roger Cleveland, and he’s the guy behind Callaway’s forged wedges. The latter is particularly ironic given that Roger Cleveland, the guy who made Cleveland wedges what they are, sold his company in 1990 and has been designing clubs for Callaway since 1996. When it comes to wedges, the trendy think Scratch, but most think Vokey and Cleveland. By the time this season is over, I expect I’ll be adding 2 or 3 more names to that list as I begin my search for the perfect 64° wedge.įrom what I gather, most people don’t really think of Callaway as a wedge company. In the last two years alone, I’ve ventured out on to the golf course with wedges from Cleveland, Callaway, Vokey, Bobby Jones, Solus, Boccieri (Heavy), and TaylorMade. I barely care about putters (a necessary evil, but not much more), but wedges…what’s not to love? They are, beyond question, the most versatile club in the bag. Unlike most guys who are hung up on one particular club, I don’t fixate on putters. nearly all of our testers told us they’d seriously consider purchasing the Callaway X Series Jaws CC Wedge “ Callaway X Sereis Jaws CC Wedge Review “ While it probably won’t get the attention of the Cleveland and Vokey offerings, it’s clear to us that this wedge belongs in any conversation where the best wedges on the market today are being discussed.
