Callaway X Series Jaws CC wedge

RRP: £79 chrome, £89 slate

LOFTS: 14 loft and bounce options (50 to 64 degrees); two finishes (chrome, slate)

TECH TALK To address the new grooves regulation (V-like instead of U-like), Callaway has added 40 per cent more grooves that are deeper but narrower in width. The grooves are forged into the face (rather than milled) to create precise edges and consistent volume that gets as close to the legal limit as
possible.

PLAYER COMMENTS

L “It had good greenside spin, especially on 20-yard bump-and-run shots.” … “The sound is crisp, and it’s great for all types of shots. The rounded bottom gives it the look of the old Wilson R-90.”

M “I like the toe and back-end relief a lot. It has a solid feeling on all shots.” … “It performs well in the sand regardless of the lie I give it.”

HOT Callaway’s strategy for the new grooves regulation gets our attention. The increased options in the line are an appreciated bonus.

NOT We’d like to see more of an effort to educate players on finding the right mix of bounce/loft.
