HIT IT CLOSER

CALLAWAY JAWS MD5

Like much of the company’s product range, Callaway’s wedges have come along in leaps and bounds in recent years. The primary impetus? Chief Designer and master wedge maker Roger Cleveland.

Cleveland is widely known in the golf industry for the modernisation and improved performance of the wedge category and his team’s JAWS MD5 is the latest in a long line of outstanding contributions.

Constructed from soft 8620 mild carbon steel, the new model offers a more precisely located centre of gravity (CG), refined shaping, versatility and improved performance from every lie, as well as three finish options and five sole grinds.

Designed with increased spin as the chief focus, the JAWS MD5 features what the company calls “the most aggressive grooves in golf”.

Featuring sharper edges, with the walls, edges and angles milled into the face for precision and tighter tolerances, the new grooves are supported by milled ‘Micro-Positive’ grooves lying between them on the face as part of Callaway’s ‘Groove-in-Groove’ technology.

Creating increased surface roughness and 84 different contact points, the groove combination greatly heightens spin and control.
