Callaway X-Tour Satin Chrome Wedge

Technology Story

Inspired by two-time major champion Phil Mickelson, the new X-Tour Wedges offer tour-proven precision for the more accomplished golfer. Legendary clubmaker Roger Cleveland has designed the best-looking, best-performing wedges Callaway Golf has ever produced. Forged from soft 1020 carbon steel for exceptional touch and feel around the greens (golf wholesale), the wedges come in numerous loft/bounce combinations to fit most players’ preferences. Roger Cleveland designed special 58- and 60-degree versions to include the PM (Phil Mickelson) Grind and “Mack Daddy” Grooves for the ultimate in spin, trajectory and distance control.

Special PM (Phil Mickelson) Grind and “Mack Daddy” Grooves

On selected 58- and 60-degree versions, the PM Grind allows for the maximum in playability around the greens. Unique “Mack Daddy” Grooves are aggressively-sized but conforming grooves that maximize spin, trajectory and distance control.

Appearance

Forget the swooping, rounded teardrop look of previous Callaway forged wedges. At address, the X-Tour wedges are unmistakably a Roger Cleveland design. The straight leading edge, the squarish toe, the high heel – the X-Tour forged wedgeslook nearly identical to the 588s and Vokey 200 series. That removes a serious stumbling block for tour professionals and other players who trust the look of familiar equipment.

The X-Tour wedges are available in two finishes. The Satin Chrome finish is very rich-looking and less prone to glare than a more polished chrome finish. The Vintage finish is a dark, non-reflective finish that will wear off and rust over time.

Overall

A friend of mine says Roger Cleveland is to wedges what Fender is to electric guitars. Namely, the maker of fully functional, esthetically pleasing designs that produce the exact results players want. And while I’m a hack with both guitars and golf clubs, I think my man is right on with is assessment.

Callaway’s X-Tour wedges  are a formidable entry in the increasingly competitive premium wedge market. By refining the esthetics – and stealing a bit from his own design guide – Roger Cleveland has created a set of wedges that fits a player’s eye like a comfy old pair of jeans. And with the PM Grind and MD Groove options, there are some significant new performance wrinkles to set the X-Tours apart from the crowd. I’ve enjoyed having the 58-11 model in my bag, and it’s helped me hit some very satisfying shots. If you’re in the market for new wedges and want to add some spin to your short game, try one of the X-Tour wedgeswith the PM Grind and MD Grooves.
