Callaway Jaws Raw Wedge
It rusts on purpose
An unplated face that oxidises in a few weeks and holds spin better for it. It will look terrible by August and it will still be checking, which is the entire deal.
£149
50 to 60 degrees
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

Who it suits
Players who want spin and do not mind the club looking its age.
It will look terrible and work better
- Raw face
- 50 to 60 degrees
- Full groove
- 01The face rusts. That is the design, not a fault, and it will not spread to the shaft.
- 02More spin in the wet than a plated face, which is where it matters here.
- 03It looks used within a month. Some people cannot live with that.
- 04Clean the grooves. A rusty face with mud in it spins less than a clean plated one.
From behind the counter
If a rusting wedge is going to bother you in April, buy the Opus in chrome today and save the argument.
