60* helped a ton
Date: June 7, 2006
I recently ditched my five wood and substituted the 60* version of this club into my set of sticks. Great decision on my part. My short game and green side bunker play has tremendously improved and because I can use a much more natural swing with this club close to the green instead of having to chop at the ball or use my putting stroke with my Sand or Pitching wedges. Match with the Callaway HX Tour ball and you can get this club to spin crazy. Very happy with my purchase. I highly recomend this club.

Phil Mickelson grind is a real benefit
Date: April 25, 2006
Just got the X-Tour wedge (vintage) in the 60* with the Phil Mickelson "grind" and "mack daddy" grooves. I have been impressed with this wedge due in most part to the PM grind on the sole (which makes the sole flatter or more "squared"), that makes it amazingly easy to execute a variety of shots around the green. This "ease" occurs because the PM grind helps set the sole of the club to easily trap the ball with a closed face for a short chip, open the face for a higher flighting lob or chip, and also promotes the leading edge of the face to work under the ball on normal pitches and approach shots (to help create spin). The "mack daddy" grooves on the 60* (and available on the 58* as well) does provide even more additional spin when required. Of the two features, the PM grind is the more important factor, in my opinion, in terms of differentiating this wedge from the competition. In short, if you find the PM grind to be appealing or something that could help your game, the X-Tour wedge is a something to really consider. Otherwise, there are also some other great wedges that may be to your liking.
I also have the Cleveland CG10 and Taylor Made TP wedges (52*, 56*, 60*), which are also excellent. The CG10 is made of the softer CMM metal which promotes a great feel, plays slightly heavier compared to the others, and is in general an excellent overall option for most shots. The Taylor Made TP has a lower degree of bounce compared to the others, which allows for the club face to be opened up easily on each wedge for some additional touch shots, and TP "Y" grooves, which really grab the ball well, leading to additional spin (the most compared to the others). I have been really impressed with the TP wedges as well.
I played the CG10 wedges last year, have used the TP wedges this year, and picked up the 60* X-Tour because I found the PM grind very appealing. The CG10's gave me confidence last year when I needed to improve my short game, and along with a lot of practice, I was able to really reduce my handicap with these tools in my hands. I went to the Taylor Made TP's this year because I wanted a lower degree of bounce on my wedges to allow me to be even more creative as a result of my confidence and now proven short game. The X-Tour now adds another option to my "inventory" of wedges. Clearly, I have some great wedges (and have been spoiled) - which has helped give me confidence and improve my overall game. Given the fact that 75% of shots are made within 100 yards of the green, with these three wedges, and depending on your needs/wants, or even the type of course that you are playing, there are some great tools to help most people become an even better player.

My new goto wedge
Date: April 6, 2008
Bought the 60* wedge over the winter and today was the first time I got to use the club on the course. Love the confidence this club gives me. Need to learn the distance of less then full swings, but it is longer then any 60* I ever swung and once it hits the green it sticks. Need to learn to hit to the pin or past it and from around the green you chip with it or open it and flop it with ease.
Try this wedge!

Great control
Date: September 10, 2007
It gives me great spins on the green and is easy to control with soft balls like ballata.
It suits to pitch shots and short runs.

I Love This Thing
Date: April 11, 2007
I just bought the 52 and 60 degree wedges and they are insane. My bump n' runs are right on target, and opening the face gives me so much backspin. I can flop a ball on my carpet, and have it come back to me. I'm in high school, and I am the envy of every golfer on my team. My regain about 3 to 4 strokes on every round just from the wedges allowing me to save par. I'm going to stick to Callaway for a while, and see what other improvements they can make in the future of my overall game.

I just purchased the 56* and 60* wedges and are very satisfied with them. After I purchased them, my friend and I played a hole at our local course. We played a chipping and pitching game. First ball i hit, takes one bounce and lands right in the hole! I love these wedges!!!

BEST wedges in the game
Date: July 25, 2006
I have the 50 & 58 degree in chrome. They are absolutely......perfect. Great feel at impact, they look nice at address, everything about this line of wedges was done to perfection. Had Cleveland wedges, those are gone now. Has the same look & better feel than my old Clevelands. Also the "Mack Daddy" grooves on the 58 degree are INSANE! I can play the ball back in my stance, play a low pitch from 75 yards or so, fly the ball to the hole & it just STOPS.....or even quickly spins back a few feet. You can even do the same thing closer to the green. I saw Phil Mickelson this year hit a flop shot from about 10yards and the ball backed up about 5 feet after it landed....I thought how the heck did Phil do that, well I'm sure the grooves helped with that. There's nothing better than knowing from 75yards & in that you can take one club, throw the shot right to the hole or passed it & know that the ball will come back. Definietly improved my wedge game with these, and I've come close to holeing out from the fairway a few times with these since I got them. HIGHLY recommended for any skill level.....2 of my good friends have recently ditched their old wedges for these aswell after my encouragement.

Great for scoring
Date: April 17, 2006
I just got this club in a 54 degree loft. I LOVE it. I played with it only 2 times, but I shot an 84 on a fairly though course this past weekend. I belive it's the best score I've ever had at that course. I was able to attack the flag on short chips, and 100yard shots. Great feel, fairly forgiving, and it looks fantastic. I'm considering giving up my Taylormade Rac lob wedge to go for the 60 degree X tour with "Mack Daddy" groves :) We will see. Overall, a great club. Try it out.
