All the best features of Callaway's MD3 Milled wedges are now available with a rich gold nickel finish for soft feel with a clean appearance
CARLSBAD, Calif. (June 14, 2016) -- Today Callaway Golf announced new MD3 Milled Gold Nickel Wedges, which have the versatility for every shot. By leveraging their S-Grind, new milled Progressive Groove Optimization system (that optimizes spin for each loft), and the advanced shaping, you can hit all the shots you need around the green.
Legendary wedge designer Roger Cleveland received extensive input from Tour players, and he used their feedback to craft the toe profile, sole and grinds of MD3 Milled. And now you have a rich gold nickel finish for soft feel with a clean appearance. These wedges give you everything you need to get up and down from anywhere.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Our Most Versatile Wedge Grind
The S-Grind is great for a wide range of conditions (normal, soft or firm), shot types, and swings (moderate to sweeping attack angles). It’s the versatility you need to get up and down from anywhere.
Progressive Groove Optimization
The MD3 Milled line has Progressive Groove Optimization – A 3 groove package precision milled into the face of these wedges that optimizes spin as you go up in loft. It creates a smoother spin transition from your irons to wedges. The 30V grooves in the Pitching and Gap Wedges are built for shots that require a steep angle into the ball. The 20V grooves in the sand wedges are designed for full shots and bunker shots, and we put in wider 5V grooves in the lob wedges for better control for shots out of the rough and around the green.
Advanced Shaping
Legendary Callaway wedge designer Roger Cleveland took Tour input and blended that with advanced CAD design. The result is a balanced wedge with a high toe profile, a medium sole width, and a semi-straight leading edge. The weight ports in the back of the wedge gave us the freedom to reposition the weight for better shotmaking, especially out of deep rough.
Gold Nickel Finish
We’ve incorporated a rich gold nickel plating for soft feel and a clean appearance. These wedges have a refined look to compliment all their advanced technology.
