Golf Monthly is the market leading golfing magazine in the UK. It's a lively and welcoming read that is targeted at good golfers who are regular players - and keen to get even better.
With over 100 years of heritage and authority behind it, it represents the real 'voice of golf' with leading columnists, top players and unrivalled coverage of equipment and instruction.
With Callaway’s new Groove-in-Groove technology they have been able to turn the 16 grooves on the face into 84 contact points; more grooves means more of the balls cover going into those grooves at impact, this in turn gives you more spin and control of your golf ball.
Callaway’s Groove-in-Groove technology comprises of three raised micro-ridges along the length of the hitting area. Between these grooves are micro-grooves that help grab the ball’s cover to increase spin rate which, according to Callaway, can impart a 1000 more RPM on full shots. They have also introduced an extra ‘Nip-It’ groove near the leading edge helping enhance spin on miss hit or thinned shots.
As with all wedge systems now the CG is progressive throughout. From 46° to 64° Callaway use a system of four circular weight ports which allows the CG to be positioned progressively upwards so they are deeper in the higher lofted heads giving you a solid feel on each shot.
The lower lofts from 46° to 52° use Callaway's 20D grooves that are narrower and thinner, helping to impart maximum spin on full shots, while the higher lofts from 54° to 64° have the wider 5D grooves that impact more grip on those shorter swings around the green.
There are 21 loft-bounce combinations and 4 different grinds C, S, W and New X each come with generous camber from heel to toe for smooth turf interaction and solid feel.
Conclusion:
I loved the rounded style of the head shape which sits perfectly at address, it’s a classic tear drop design based on the Mack Daddy Tour Grind shape, but I also felt it gave me a larger hitting area, which also inspired confidence around the green.
I tested the MD4 in both Switzerland and Canada in various climates. I really enjoyed playing with them and was amazed at the amount of spin I was putting on the ball, especially on full shots into the green.
As most of you know I always say amateur golfers should have at least 3-wedges in their bags as it is where we can gain the most shots; I would have no hesitation in recommending the new Callaway Mack Daddy 4 wedges to you, make sure you get a couple in your hands before you make your final purchase. You will be glad you did.
