New “micro-positive” protrusions between each face groove give the Mack Daddy 84 contact points to grip the ball at impact. An extra “nip it” 16th groove closer to the leading edge maximises spin especially on shorter shots.
Callaway’s previous MD 3 Milled wedges were our highest spinning wedges of 2017, so it’s no surprise, thanks to micro protrusions on the face, these generated more spin than any other wedge (averaged across three testers) this year, too. It’s a bit of masterful thinking. Our test pro loved the versatility of the MD4S, feeling he could open them up really easily to increase shotmaking potential. We’re big fans of the matt black finish; it helps disguise the profile. The 115g shaft is the same weight as Cleveland’s CBX, which is more closely matched to a set of slightly lighter cavity back irons, than most wedge shafts here.
