Callaway have unveiled their new Mack Daddy 4 Wedge. The new model offers even more bounce and grind options, in addition to raised ridges between the grooves for added spin. Many of you may have seen some of the tour Pro’s using prototypes of Callaway Wedges over the last few months, and we can now confirm it was the Callaway Mack Daddy 4.
The design was heavily influence by Roger Cleveland as well as feedback from tour players. The main new technology is the groove-in-groove which will allow for more green-side spin. In fact, several features combine to provide more shot-stopping control. The main grooves for example, are saw-cut and horizontally milled to more precise tolerances. There’s also now an extra “Nip-It” groove near the leading edge that enhances spin on short and/or slightly thin shots. Finally, increased surface roughness on the flat parts of the face sees three raised micro-ridges extend the length of the hitting area. Between these ridges are micro-grooves that help grab the ball’s cover to increase spin significantly on a variety of shots. It is this combination of grooves and micro-grooves that provides 84 different contact points to grab the cover of the ball at impact, instead of the just the traditional 16 grooves.
