Callaway Golf Company's (NYSE: ELY) highly-anticipated new X Series Jaws wedges will be available beginning Nov. 15. Callaway says the wedges offer "aggressively sized'' Mack Daddy grooves that will conform to the Rules of Golf until at least 2024, as well as C-Grind versatility for precision shot-making.
Crafted by Roger Cleveland, Callaway’s Chief Designer and one of the more respected wedge designers in the industry, the X Series Jaws wedges (suggested retail price $119 each) are made of Forged 1020 carbon steel and undergo a Triple Net Forging process to produce what the company says is "incredible feel and consistent sole geometry.''
The wedges will be available in two finishes, Dark Vintage or Milky Chrome, and can be purchased with steel or graphite shafts.
“The Mack Daddy grooves featured in Callaway’s new X Series Jaws wedges have been designed to the absolute limits allowed within the Rules of Golf. As a result, they produce incredible shot-making results,” Cleveland said. "We’ll offer these wedges with Mack Daddy grooves through the end of 2010 and feel confident that players will benefit by using them for many years after.”
Callaway says the Mack Daddy grooves were named by Callaway Staff Professional Phil Mickelson and were designed at the maximum conforming depth and width, resulting in maximum spin from any lie.
The X Series Jaws wedges are initially available in loft offerings of 52, 56, 58 and 60 degrees, in right- and left-handed. Additional lofts (50, 54 and 64) arrive at retail on Dec. 15.
