Callaway announces Mack Daddy 2 wedges
CARLSBAD, Calif. (June 28, 2013) —
Through a
series of videos featuring Chief Club Designer
Roger Cleveland, Callaway Golf Company
(NYSE: ELY) today introduced the Mack
Daddy™ 2 line of wedges. Already played on
TOUR by Staff Professionals such as Phil
Mickelson and Chris Kirk, the new forged
wedge features larger grooves for more spin,
a
soft carbon steel for greater feel, and custom
sole grind options to provide versatility for a
golfer’s demands around the green. The
Callaway-produced series of videos, titled
“Wedgeducation,” feature Roger Cleveland
and
Callaway’s Director or Fitting & Instruction,
Randy Peterson, and are posted on
www.CallawayGolf.com/wedge
ducation. The
series of videos will guide golfers through
short
game tips and provide advice and instruction
on how to get the most out of the scoring
clubs. The Mack Daddy 2 Wedges will be
available at golf retailers (see link to
amateurgolf.com partner Worldwide Golf
Shops
below) nationwide on July 12, 2013.
Detailed in the videos is the new 5V Groove
Pattern that is engineered into the wedges
with 56-degrees of loft and higher. This
groove
pattern provides wider, more aggressive
grooves that increase spin and thus promote
more control around the green. In fact, the
new groove pattern is 39 percent larger and
produces 25 percent more spin than its
predecessor*.
“Golfers ask their lob wedges to perform a lot
of different shots so it’s important to design
these wedges to be extremely forgiving and
versatile,” said Roger Cleveland. “And that’s
what we’ve done with these new grooves
and
the added custom grind options. The MD2’s
will
be a must for the golfer who wants to
perform
to his or her best in the toughest of
conditions.”
The lower lofted wedges also feature the
wider
grooves, but with a larger angled draft (20-
degrees versus 5-degrees) creating the
necessary spin to seek a back pin or hit
certain shots. All of the Mack Daddy 2
wedges
feature a unique Lasered Micro Groove for
added face roughness.
There are three custom sole grinds available
in
the Mack Daddy 2 Wedge line in both the 58-
and 60-degree clubs:
The U-Grind, which Phil Mickelson inspired,
has
a concave sole and the tightest radius of the
three grind options, which significantly
relieves
the heel and toe. This allows the leading
edge
to stay low and under the ball when opening
the face to add loft. This grind is versatile in
both firm and soft conditions.
