Callaway

What it does: The raw face and 37-degree wall angle on the grooves enhance the sharpness for increased grab, particularly on shots from 80 metres and in where players want a shot that stops after one hop. The new groove design gets help from micro-milled grooves between the grooves. These are milled at a 20-degree angle, helping spin on even shorter shots, specifically chips and pitches. The result is the most aggressive grooves in company history.

Why we like it: Callaway uses tungsten for the first time in a wedge (sand and lob wedges only) to position the centre of gravity in line with the middle of the face for maximum control and feel. The new Z grind – a more forgiving, low-bounce option – is an excellent addition to an already impressive line-up.

SPECS 17 options (48-60 degrees); 4 sole grinds; 2 finishes
