Again, the goal is to raise the center of gravity to promote a flatter, spinnier ball flight. What might go unnoticed as nothing more than a cosmetic detail, a bit of extra mass (more mass still in the lob wedge) has been added to the high toe section of the wedge. The final piece of the weight-balanced design story is the weight pad in the high toe section of the Callaway JAWS Raw wedge. The tungsten weights also serve to put some additional mass directly behind the typical hitting area for open-face shots. Ultimately, that’s a good thing for all of us. Most wedge manufacturers are starting to pay attention to (and design for) performance in wet conditions. That should prove especially helpful for those shots around the green.

The new microfeature design coupled with the raw face may explain why Callaway is seeing 30-percent higher spin rates on both full and pitch shots in wet conditions compared to MD5. With the JAWS Raw wedge, the grooves between the grooves have been offset.
With the MD5, Callaway’s microfeatures fan parallel to the primary groove. Groove-in-groove designs (aka, texture between the primary grooves) should be familiar now as you’d be hard-pressed to find a manufacturer that didn’t offer some kind of groove between its grooves. The point is that, for Callaway, it’s a specification that strikes the right balance of aggression and USGA conformity. There’s no reason to get lost in the numbers. On the list of things that won’t be on the test at the end: the JAWS Raw offers the same 37-degree groove wall angle from the MD5. That’s a bold statement meant to convey the idea that MD5, and now JAWS Raw, produce plenty of spin. When Callaway rolled out the MD5, they called it a “spin machine” while touting the most aggressive groove in golf. Best of both worlds, perhaps.Ĭallaway JAWS Raw – The Most Aggressive Groove in Golf That said, the ungrooved toe section is plated with a more muted finish which should reduce glare significantly.
With the JAWS Raw wedge, Callaway has chosen not to use full-face grooves. That means a plated wedge may not always perform as designed. While some companies account for that in their groove specifications, finish material often alters the groove geometry. All of this “raw” stuff boils down to the reality that finishes are applied after grooves are milled. Some will misconstrue the design as support for the argument that rust adds spin. Your takeaway is that the face of the JAWS wedge is going to rust, but the rest of the head probably won’t. The head of the wedge is fully finished except for the hitting area. For the uninitiated, the raw face approach means that the new JAWS doesn’t offer the traditional raw finish (or lack of finish). If you’re at all familiar with TaylorMade’s MG wedge offerings, no explanation will be necessary. Perhaps the most notable change from MD5 is the addition of a raw face.
