You know I have to say upfront that I do not for the most part like Callaway equipment. It is boxy looking and for the most part uninteresting to me. This includes the drivers, wedges, and even putters. I also have the additional problem that I am anal about stuff and prefer to have everything in my bag match (as is evidenced bag by the bag in my signature). However, I went today to Golfsmith to originally pick up a RAC TP Satin wedge in 56/12 as the fairways of the course I play are a bit fluffy and it is unlikely that they will cut them anytime soon so I though a little more bounce was in order. I took my 2 month old daughter with me so thought that I would run in and run out. When I got there she was asleep and they were having a Callaway day so I thought I would try a few wedges just to see how good my current choice was. I picked up a standard Vokey, a spin milled vokey, the TM RAC TP, and for grins and giggles an X-Tour Forged wedge.
I hit all three for probably 20 minutes varying the types of shots I did. The Vokey's and TM wedge were all crisp and performed well however to my surprise the X-Tour was butter soft and I was even able to back a ball from the back wall all the way back to me on their extended indoor range (about 25 feet long). I do so love forged irons. So now I am in a total state of Cognitive Dissonance because I have all TM clubs (except for my Cameron Putter) and this...this...Callaway wedge in the bag. This is going to drive me crazy especially since I have a TM Staff bag but I'll be damned if that Cally isn't one of the best wedges I've ever hit.
