Callaway Mack Daddy PM Grind Wedge

[@nigelgregory7090]

got this wedge this week, shot my lowest score of the year,so easy to get airborne on those tricky behind a bunker or downhill short chips,game changer for me.

[@ne494rc]

I am also put a 58* PM grind in my bag. Once you see you ball landing softly and stopping out of deep rough around the green you forget what it looks like. I also find it great out of the sand.

[@ewrtsdhxcvn]

love the phil jump impression!

[@Stu-Vino]

Tried this club this morning; absolutely loved it. Lovely feel to it, and forgiving.

[@beaujenks3849]

I have the 54 s grind, and the 64. I love them, great feel, great bounce, great spin. And a pretty neat look.

[@justinnash7523]

I have the 56 & 60 wedge pm grind and they have really helped improve my short game. Also love the looks I get when playing them

[@darioteich]

I play an old Titleist wedge with those holes also. A favorite club. May try this one.

[@dominicruegg]

got myself the 60 too, still need to test in on the course but it has performed very well in the garden already

[@konartis8108]

I went to a callaway demo day and wanted to try the MD3 wedges, but the guy talked me into trying the PM Grind, and it is so easy to hit and very easy to flop if you open face and but out of the toe. now just got to get over the looks of the thing!

[@TheT2tracer]

Yes Mark your are definitely the Man! Love your post keep them coming.

[@ESikora12]

Have the 56 and 60. As someone who really enjoys playing wedges to get it close from near the green (aka. misses too many greens in regulation), I really enjoy the ability to play virtually any shot from any situation.

[@patrikstreng6834]

Loving these honest reviews Mark. Looks like a funky club.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks

[@darraghcashman]

I think it's the Ping Eye 2 wedge mark is thinking of in the design of the PM grind wedge! Mickelson used one in more recent times so it wouldn't surprise me if that's where the design for this club came from

[@dciccoritti]

***** Yup! It was made to remove Phil's PING Eye2 lob wedge out of his Callaway bag. I play the PING Eye2 Gorge L wedge and IMO, it's the best wedge I've ever played. I completely understand why Phil loved his PING wedge so much.

[@Leftienige]

Davide Ciccoritti The only reason some tour players who were signed up to other brands suddenly had to source Ping wedges from the 80's was the rule change on wedge grooves . Ping Eye-2s had been deemd illegal by the USPGA back then , but after a court-room battle ( which Ping won ) they still can be used to this day . So a few players had their "people" find Eye-2s to tide them over while their own brand found another way make "grabby" wedges that conformed to the new regs .

[@tatchy1001]

***** There's a guy on the Rick Sheils review of this club I'm having an argument with as he said this club it a 'clone' of the Ping Eye2 wedge and I said while it has a high toe similar to the Ping to describe it as a clone is ridiculous lol

[@dciccoritti]

tatchy1001 The club was designed solely to replace Phil's PING Eye2 wedge. This was not some new idea for a wedge by either Phil or Roger. The combination of a high toe, grind and offset are what makes both of these wedges very, very similar. I play the PING Eye2 and have hit the PM Grind and for me, they play virtually identical. Sorry but it's knock off, or a "very inspired design (if you wish). If the PING Eye2 wedge never existed, this wedge wouldn't either. I will also add that in 10 years, golfers will still be playing the Eye2 and the PM Grind will be nothing but a google search. Just my opinion of course :-)

[@tatchy1001]

Davide Ciccoritti I think you'll find I never said it was an original idea and indeed made reference to the fact Roger designed this club with the high toe because Phil was using the Eye 2 L wedge. They may 'play the same' in your hands but the designs 'other than the high toe are very different. May I suggest you read this article and decide if they just copied it (ignoring the fact it looks nothing like it, has different grooves, no cavity, different heel relief, different grind, different top line, different weight distribution, different material, different neck amount of offset (this is actually onsey) and different finish of course mygolfspy.com/callaway-pm-grind-wedge-review

[@hikinit]

Just picked the 64 up and can't wait to use it.

[@GolfmagicPlus]

We're testing this one out next week, looks beautiful.

[@cmares5858]

I seem to strike wedges out of the toe as well... makes me feel a little better that Phil is doing that as well haha

[@julia-6195]

I put the 64 in my bag because I have trouble with opening the face on traditional wedges. I'm a 20 HCer and hit 23/25 shots onto a green within 2 yd of each other from 45 yds. It went home. I loved it. I have trouble with opening a 60 in a bunker, so I figure this might be the ticket. Hope to try it in the spring. Love the look. #MarkCrossfieldRocks

[@sledge1960]

+Julia-6 I agree entirely with all you say. I fail to see the point of opening the wedge's face when you can use a lower lofted club without all the contortions that involves. 64 degree with low bounce ticks the boxes, plus it's great for hopping over greenside bunkers to tight pins, which we higher handicappers seem to find ourselves staring at all too often.

[@matthewcole5867]

Great video, lots more info on the wedge and more fun to view when compared to one of your major KZbin competitors

[@1PUTTZ]

Callaway used to have a wedge called the "Hickory Stick" that was rather large and kinda funky. It also had a thinner steel shaft with some wood veneer over top - don't think it was an all hickory wooden shafted club. A friend of mine had one and he was magic with it.

[@88dirtdigger]

I just started gaming a set of the Mack Daddy 2 wedges (52 & 60) and they have definitely made the game more enjoyable. I'm not sure I could go all in with the PM grinds though..

[@Cupillac]

looks good! half my toe on my wedges are worn down. Would be nice to have those grooves there!

[@signelengis]

you might have moved me to this one... I agree with everything you said, and I didn't know what the silly green holes were.

[@seanmurphy6678]

Saw this club today(very funky looking).I looked it up and was so happy to see that u did a review 😆

[@carvinbas]

#IAmPhil I've been using the 60 for about a month and really love everything about it!

[@happyhaunter_5546]

I've got the 64, my favorite club by far. Flops just too easily, it's really a dream.

[@BooWayn]

Awesome review Mark. Completely random question here. Just how many pair of golf shoes do you have?

[@markntexas8265]

Although perhaps counter intuitive wouldn't the higher CG equal less spin on fuller square shots (a positive in some situations here in Texas with super fast summer greens that are constantly watered during the day).

[@justuncoyle8935]

This is the best mark cross field video ever love the honest reviews keep it up chap #iamphil 😂😂😂

[@mania7904]

Would you recommend intertwining your right pinky and your left index finger when holding a club, as i am quite new and don't use that technique, although i still find success without it. Great videos, loving them course vlogs

[@stephendibari7704]

Love this review Mark. Going to get fit soon for the 56 and the 60 and I'll be #iamphil ! I'm a big Phil fan so I'm stoked to get these 2 in my bag

[@Raymond-sj7cn]

Thx for the review😄 60 degrees ordered in black ...so in a few days I am also Phil😁

[@ricodegranby]

64 is great in bunkers and flop shots

[@tylerallen497]

Nice review. When I first saw this wedge I thought it was the strangest looking wedge.

[@metamurph]

just rewatching these...part of it may be shaft too, look at difference in launch too. where you strike on face, I wonder if you are more prone to striking to the toe because of shape and losing spin because you miss CG? anyhow, as much as I love my vokeys and the SM6 range, I am still thinking about this as a 60.

[@ren1205]

Do you know why it doesn't come in 52 degrees? Thanks!

[@ren1205]

Could you please review the c tape lite shafts? Thank you good sir!

[@markscott3267]

Is there a standard size for a wedge or iron much in the way a driver can't be more than 460cc? Just seemed to me that enlarging the toe and making the wedge larger than others might have to be within a tolerance?

[@DonnieCallister]

@Mark, are zey still in zee bag? Cheers from germany

[@cikarang5]

See you've tied up a deal with Puma as well Mark, kinda liked the Bunker Mentality clothes.

[@MrSekitori]

So if you hit the ball with the face open and thus hitting the grooves at an angle, would that cause a different spindirection on the ball causing it to roll more to the right when it lands or is direction of strike way more causing the spin ? Just curious if you notice any difference...

[@paddertheman5891]

I would love to know how the Mack daddy PM grind 58 degree plays out of sand, I'm a member of a links course so a 58 is my sand wedge , can you test it please thanks V

[@gert-janbrand980]

What configuration did you go for Mark? 60.10?

[@LiLTidge]

I just think it looks good I'll most probably buy

[@steveevans444]

Fun video. So can we call you Phil from now on?

[@TheHumewood]

Would this be the club to use in a dreaded pot bunker?

[@ericrogers945]

I bought this wedge and absolutely couldn't hit it to save my life. I thought I'd end up like Phil, but it was horrible for me. I sold my SM5 when I got this so I went out and got the MD3 60 and I'm back to hitting my normal 60* shots. I might try some more, but it'll probably just gather dust in the closet.

[@naftalithaithi4812]

Sell it. Sure wouldn't mind buying it rather than it sits gathering dust.

[@azjim321]

I just added the 64 degree pm grind. I am having success with chipping and pitching. Do you think it is too much loft for the bunker? I currently use a titleist 58 and 54 out of the bunker. Is there a maximum loft that you would recommend out of the bunker?

[@bengodleman18]

+azjim321 it's what you feel comfortable with I could hit a 52 out of a bunker and still launch it the same at my 59 degrree wedge, so i don''t think you could have too much loft. it just means the more loft the higher and shorter the ball will go which means you will have to make a longer swing. and that means you might be less accruate. hoped that helped

[@TheTkilla8]

What kind of wedge was the competitor?

[@HockeyJMC]

How does he do the pro tracer in the vids??

[@Bongggo]

i just tried the 56 for chipping.. the ball roll differently... this is a cool new toy

[@michaelnevins4220]

how do these compare to vokeys?

[@henrikstergaard6252]

Bunker shots?

[@kessel12]

They took the "grooves across the entire face" idea from Edel Golf, didn't they?

[@johndough9763]

Are you related to Eliza Doolittle?

[@JayeHK]

Grooves all the way to the edge is genius. Bigger toe also good. Shame about the stupid name "Mack Daddy". Bounce is 13 degrees on the 56 and 10 degrees on the others; lower bounce lob option would be good. Still think they owe Renegar for that grind.

[@martinmayer7979]

tested it, looks funky, but it's a great wedge, also from the fairway, it's nearly impossible to faten a shoot, but it's also nothing for beginners!

[@Cornwall1888]

Why don't you tell us what the competitor was?

[@jamesrobinson949]

"Is this wedge looking at me?" Hahaha markmycoach

[@MarkCrossfield]

:)

[@roam_xyz]

+Mark Crossfield hi mark, i have a question for u. I ordered callaway MD3 PM grind 64 degree. Will i be able to open the face to 73 degree with no problem?

[@wlm6915]

+Toms Cernavskis you can only bend a club 4 degrees max

[@roam_xyz]

ok

[@sodthong]

Too much bounce on those puppies for my local course. They were designed for lush Bermuda grass imo..

[@belly450]

you say when Phil opens the face up, is it open or twisted? :p only kidding

[@artokiiskinen1058]

who is the girl in your title sequence? I am in love.

[@Dtyler171]

+Arto Kiiskinen It's Holly Sonders

[@michaelrolton7502]

If the MD works then the deadly putter will transform into a short-game guru. Move over Mr Peltz. On the other hand, best stick with your day job. Great video though.

[@vicibox]

Afraid I have never been a Phil Fan and I can't say I fancy these wedges. I will stick with my Nike wedges.

[@vicibox]

***** very easily, he comes across like a spoiled child and says idiotic things ;-)

[@vicibox]

Garrett Marshall Nothing snobbie about me, will happily mix it with anybody, would have thought that would have been obvious from my posts. Do take exception to idiots that attack fellow professionals in public like that disgraceful exhibition after the Rhyder Cup, basically he had to blame everybody except himself for the fact they weren't good enough. The others, like Fowler and Watson just got on with it and determined to make sure they would do better next time and took their grievances out behind closed doors. I have no doubt they were just as cutting in private but had the discipline to remember they were playing for their country. He also makes such stupid remarks in golf tips calling everybody stupid who thinks it should be done differently, the hallmark of an idiot I think ;-)

[@vicibox]

Garrett Marshall Bubba and Rickie have loyalty and pride in playing for their country, I have immense respect for that. Every great player has an opinion and will voice it when appropriate as did all the team when deciding where to go next. I have no respect for Phil because he showed himself up and his country. He just came across as a whinging loser. I see him as part of the problem in america's decline. No team discipline.

[@ChilliFlame]

Vici Martynov Phil is a magician with his wedges. He's a joy to watch. And wtf is the Rhyder Cup?

[@Coda1850]

+shirzotv 'member when he was in trouble for insider trading? That was awesome. 'member when he was in trouble for laundering money? That was awesome.

[@simoncoolhand]

No, your not Phil Mark ;OP

[@Cornwall1888]

They're ugly but I like them.

[@Coda1850]

Thumbs down (as always) for FIGJAM.

[@mattbowes1818]

most disgusting wedges iv ever seen
