Callaway Introduces New Mack Daddy 2 Tour Grind Wedges

Callaway Golf today announces the launch of Mack Daddy 2 Tour Grind Wedges, featuring a new shallow C-Grind sole, Tour-validated head shape and aggressive groove pattern for maximum control.

Expertly crafted by Roger Cleveland and inspired by Callaway’s team of Staff Professionals – including Major winner Phil Mickelson who used Mack Daddy 2 Wedges to win last year’s Open Championship at Muirfield – the new Tour Grind Wedges offer increased shot precision, greater spin and pinpoint control.

Featuring a sole design that gives additional relief in the heel and toe of the club, allowing players to hit ‘open face’ shots without having the bounce come into play, the new Tour Grind wedges also welcome back a head shape, featuring a slightly straighter leading edge, last seen in Callaway’s hugely popular X Forged Wedges.

Roger Cleveland, Callaway Golf’s Chief Club Designer, said: “Blending one of the most popular head shapes Callaway has ever created with Mack Daddy’s aggressive groove pattern (39% larger, generating 25% more spin out of the rough) and adding increased face roughness, has added a new element to the Mack Daddy 2 line.”

Uniquely identified by Acid Yellow paint detailing and a simple ‘R Design’ stamp, Mack Daddy 2 Tour Grind Wedges are manufactured in two finishes, soft chrome and slate, and in loft options 52°, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60°.

* Right and left-handed options are available (54° in right-hand only).

Key Features:

Shallow C–Grind sole - Relief is ground from the heel and toe, so golfers can lay the face open while effectively reducing the bounce angle. This allows for the leading edge to get under the ball with proper sole contact for maximum spin and control.

Tour validated head shape - Crafted by Callaway Chief Designer, Roger Cleveland, the straighter leading edge creates better turf interaction through the ground and the higher toe is a favourite for Tour players.

Forged high performance Mack Daddy 2 groove pattern - 39% larger grooves for 25% more spin out of the rough and increased surface roughness for more spin and control.

Two finish options – Soft Chrome finish produces a rich, muted look that reduces glare, while the Slate finish is pre-oxidized to give a Tour preferred, distinctive, non-glare look that ages over time.

The Callaway Mack Daddy 2 Tour Grind Wedges will be available from July 18.
