Tight. Just the way I like it.
I was very excited to receive shipment of my X-Tour wedges. The 52, 56, and 60 degree wedges went into my bag immediately and they have been performing on all levels ever since.
These wedges are hot. They hang their heads from the top of my bag, telling me to “hit it…you know you wanna hit it.” Other golfers can’t help but stare, and that’s always cool. When reaching for a wedge, the bold graphics and numbers make each wedge easily identifiable. The wedges are sexy (almost as sexy as me in a green blazer) and a huge improvement from the previous forged offering.
Tight is a good way to describe the X-Tours. These wedges have a tight, more angular, and traditional profile compared to the previous saucer shaped wedges. Although a minimal bulge on the top line is a slight distraction, the view at address is clean. They sit tight to the turf and are ready to go to work; no fidgeting with the bounce is needed. Weight is satisfactory and impact is nice and punchy. And the end result….? You’ll get a shot that sits tight to the pin. These Mac Daddy grooves will make your ball jump….jump….and stop! Our big brother, Golfwrx, has a more technical review and comments if you’re interested.

After thinking about the wedges over a cup of coffee, I’ve come up with a Callaway conspiracy theory. These wedges tend to shred the covers on all the balls that I tried. Is this an effort to get golfers to buy more balls? Hmmm….Callaway’s new X-tour balls are now more durable? Hmmm….The voices in my head won’t stop.
Conspiracy or not, like the US government, these clubs perform. That’s good enough for me.
Thanks Callaway for giving us a pre-release taste of the new wedges. These are definitely gourmet.
