Callaway Unveils Mack Daddy 2 Wedges

Wedge guru Roger Cleveland has used feedback from Callaway’s Tour players like Phil Mickelson to create the new Mack Daddy 2 wedges.

They feature an aggressive “5V” groove pattern, increasing the surface area and size of the grooves by 39 per cent and creating 25 per cent more spin than Callaway’s previous X-Forged model.

A laser-milled, micro-groove pattern increases surface roughness to help enhance spin control.  It also pre-conditions the face to add surface roughness after the micro grooves wear off.

“These new forged wedges are all about the performance of the grooves and how they manage spin, trajectory and distance,” said Cleveland. “Head shape is also vital to Mack Daddy 2. Each loft option has a beautiful ‘tear-shaped’ tour-tested appearance that is as much about function as it is about looks.”

Feedback from Tour players is becoming increasingly prominent with launches from manufacturers and the Mack Daddy 2 is no exception.

“Phil had a lot of input into the sole design of the Mack Daddy 2 and specifically the version that has a concave appearance, the ‘U-Grind’. He really liked that. In this particular model, the toe and the heel is quite relieved and even though it has a relatively wide sole, Phil is still able to ‘open it up’ without too much heel sticking out and effectively remove the bounce. This makes for a club that is very adaptable, which was really an important feature for Phil.”
