Callaway Golf 2017 Mack Daddy Forged Nickel Chrome with Copper Strike Wedge

From the manufacturer

Signature Shaping and Tour Performance in a Forged Design

Roger Cleveland’s special talent for working with Tour pros and understanding the nuances of what they want in a wedge’s look, feel and performance is what makes him the industry’s preeminent master of wedge design. That, and his unparalleled knowledge of all that’s necessary to bring a wedge from initial concept to finished club is what makes the new Mack Daddy Forged wedges ultra-premium.

The unique new shape, forged of soft 1025c steel, delivers exceptionally satisfying feel and response on every shot. Less offset, a squarer toe and a straighter leading edge create a clean, confidence-inducing appearance at address to promote crisp contact and command control.

Added control comes from progressive CG positioning, in which the CG gradually moves upward as the loft of each wedge increases. This promotes a lower and easier-to-control flight in the higher lofts without sacrificing spin, making it easier to attack the pin.

Maximum spin comes from the new Mack Daddy 16-groove configuration that incorporates an added groove at the bottom, close to the leading edge, to promote added stopping power, especially on pitches and chips.

The new R sole grind gives Mack Daddy Forged wedges the kind of versatility necessary to play a variety of shots from the types of grasses a Tour pro faces, from the sticky kikuyu of Torrey Pines to the thick rye- and bluegrass of Bethpage Black to the firm, tight turf of St. Andrews. The defined crescent sole and mid bounce makes a broad range of greenside shots easy to play, from square-faced skippers to open-faced flops and everything in between.

As for finish, we’re giving golfers two highly appealing choices: Satin Chrome with a thin copper strike layer that enriches the surface’s appeal and enhances toughness, and Brushed Slate for a raw look.

3 Grinds. 3 Grooves. Get Up and Down From Anywhere.

The MD3 Milled Wedges have the versatility and selection for every shot, every course condition, and every swing. It’s the most complete wedge line that Callaway has ever created. By leveraging 3 unique grinds (S-Grind, C-Grind and the new W-Grind), our new milled Progressive Groove Optimization system that optimizes spin for each loft, and advanced shaping and design, you can specialize your wedges to your game and all the shots that you want to hit.

Legendary Wedge Designer Roger Cleveland received extensive input from Tour players, and he used their feedback to craft the toe profile, sole and grinds of MD3 Milled. And now there are even more custom options for shafts, grips and finishes. These wedges give you everything you need to get up and down from anywhere.
